JAMES BERNAZZANI

Principal Deputy Director,

Terrorist Threat Integration Center

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

703-482-0623

The day after the September 11 attacks, FBI Special Agent James Bernazzani was transferred out of the agency where he'd spent 17 years working terrorist

investigations.

He hadn't done anything wrong. Quite the contrary. During the previous decade, Bernazzani had become an authority on terrorist attacks, investigating strikes on U.S. citizens in Western Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. He'd held a number of jobs, including leading a terrorism task force in Houston, and serving as chief of Iran/Hezbollah Operations at FBI headquarters.

Bernazzani was a natural to be detailed to the CIA, which had been walking point m the terror wars for more than a decade. he reported for duty on September 12, and by May 2002, he was promoted to deputy director for law enforcement at the agency's famed Counterterrorist Center, called the CTC.
