FBI using elite surveillance teams to track at least 48 high-risk ISIS suspects

Libtard logic gone full retard.

This just warms my heart knowing America and the American government is spending at least one million dollars per day "per individual" watching "high risk muslim refugees" in our own country.

$50,000,000 per day to watch these 48 islamic terrorists. Let's just call it DHS and FBI "job surety".......





FBI using elite surveillance teams to track at least 48 high-risk ISIS suspects
By Catherine Herridge
·Published November 27, 2015

With as many as 1,000 active cases, Fox News has learned at least 48 ISIS suspects are considered so high risk that the FBI is using its elite tracking squads known as the mobile surveillance teams or MST to track them domestically.

“There is a very significant number of people that are on suspicious watch lists, under surveillance," Republican Sen. Dan Coats said.

Coats, who sits on the Select Committee on Intelligence, would not comment on specifics, but said the around-the-clock surveillance is a major commitment for the bureau. "The FBI together with law enforcement agencies across the country are engaged in this. It takes enormous amount of manpower to do this on a 24-7 basis. It takes enormous amount of money to do this," Coats explained.

These elite FBI teams are reserved for espionage, mob violence and high-priority terrorism cases, like a joint terrorism task force case last June, where a 26 year old suspect Usaama Rahim, was killed outside a Massachusetts CVS. When a police officer and FBI agent tried to question him, the Boston Police Commissioner said Rahim threatened them with a knife, and was shot dead.

With at least a dozen agents assigned to each case, providing 24/7 coverage, this high level of surveillance reflects the severe risk associated with suspects most likely to attempt copycat attacks after Paris.

"It is a big resource drain. Yes it is. Almost overwhelming," Coats said when asked about the demand placed on the FBI. "There will be a lot of people over the Thanksgiving weekend that will not be enjoying turkey with their family. They'll be out there providing security for the American people and the threat is particularly high during this holiday period."

One of the lessons of Paris is that the radicalization process can be swift. According to published reports, friends of the female suspect who was killed in the siege of Saint Denis, Hasna Ait Boulahcen, abandoned her party life only a month before joining her cousin, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the plot's on the ground commander. He was also killed in the siege.

FBI Director James Comey has consistently drawn attention to this phenomenon, calling it the "flash to bang," that the time between radicalization and crossing the threshold to violent action can be very short. Last week, in a rare public appearance with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Comey would only say that "dozens" of suspected radicals have been under "tight surveillance."

"Together we are watching people of concern using all of our lawful tools. We will keep watching them and if we see something we will work to disrupt it," Comey said.

Contacted by Fox News, an FBI spokesman had no comment on the high risk cases, nor the use of elite surveillance teams.

Their surveillance people aren't even credentialed FBI agents, and they definitely don't get paid as much. How does this add up to $1,000,000 per day per dirt bag? Helicopter hours?

If they went to teams of contractors and paid them $500/day, the government would get 2,000 bodies for $1 million per day (not counting per diem, lodging and travel). I'm pretty sure we could cover more than one baddie with 2,000 surveillance people.

On the other hand, if they develop something actionable that stops an attack is anyone going to argue about the price tag?

2000 Sounds just about right. About 40 folks watching one dirtbag 24/7. And that doesn't include an entire network of "domestic spy centers" (fusion centers) operating at 125%. Local and state LEO's working extra hours. Drones flying or on call 24/7. I could go on and on, and I figure one million a day per dirtbag is modest. I'd say the governmental "overtime" would easily exceed one million per day per dirtbag.

And we all know the mission of the new FBI is "national security" and everything terrorist I'd say after the Boston bombing they are an epic failure.

Besides the "domestically engineered terrorists" I've yet to hear of one diabolical plan that has been thwarted by DHS or FBI in the last 15 years.

Does this "news" make me feel more safe? LOL

I've worked with an islamic "underground", more than once. They are the masters of asymmetric warfare for a reason.

Heh, their parameters for that would include many members here. They may need to bring a lunch...

Hell, I'll do it for half that price. I'd just put them in a hole and watch them. They won't go anywhere and surprisingly none of them would need food.

Has there been an attack recently that the powers to be have not admitted to the terrorists being on somebody's watch list? They could save us all a lot of future grief and public funds by rounding these misfits up and permanently dispatching them. Knowing who they are and not doing anything about it is not in the public's best interest. They should be embarrassed by their admission of knowing who these people are but not really doing anything about them.
