- Historical Notes
-
After 9/11, the U.S. government mobilized intelligence and federal law enforcement agencies to share data and expertise with each other, U.S. military partners, international allies, and local informants to combat vast terrorist networks. The influx and analysis of recovered items increased dramatically.
The Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, is the foreign intelligence service of the United Kingdom.
