FBI Conducted Unauthorized Investigations in Canada

Via UPI.

An internal 2004 Federal Bureau of Investigation audit reports that FBI agents carry out investigations in Canada.

The investigations are frequently conducted without the knowledge or approval of the Canadian government.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's inspector general's audit details the increase in Federal Bureau of Investigation since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in Washington and New York.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Oct. 5 that the audit reports that the FBI has given agents in its Buffalo, N.Y., field office the authority to conduct "routine investigations" up to 50 miles into Canadian territory.
