Government officials said the FBI had been conducting electronic surveillance of a mosque in Brooklyn frequented by Afghans in 1999 after developing information from the investigation of the U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa.

Sources said the FBI had “hours” of taped conversations between people associated with the unidentified mosque and suspected terrorist leaders.

But despite the potential intelligence value of the intercepted communications, stacks of tapes languished on the shelves at the FBI counter- terrorism center in downtown Manhattan because there were not enough translators.

Yet, we had no problem with having 10 Arabic translators for bill clinton's immediate disposal on the day after the OKC bombing.  Isn't that special.

...and, the Biden admin just brought in what another 125,000 Afghans who no doubt are vetted about as well or worse than the ones in 1999.
