On
November 7, Director Mueller returned from three days of high-level
meetings in Europe and the Mideast on issues ranging from
terrorist investigations to international accords, from police
training initiatives to security for the 2004 Olympic Games.
"There is so much value in meeting face to face with
my colleagues," he said upon his return. "We speak
a common language -- all of us focused on the safety of our
communities in a world of global threats -- and we find we
can come to agreement on practical issues quickly."
Director Mueller met with his colleagues in law enforcement
and intelligence and also with President Saleh in Yemen, Prince
Naif bin Abdulaziz in Saudi Arabia, and with Minister of Public
Order Georgios Florides in Athens. In Baghdad he met with
Iraqi police as well as with FBI Special Agents detailed there
for investigative purposes. Pictured are the Director and
U.S. Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III (Civil Administrator for
the Coalition Provisional Authority) being briefed in Baghdad
on seized detonation devices.
