Ex-Agent Hosko: FBI 'Unmatched Around the World' in Terror Forensic Probes

Russian President Vladimir Putin's call for FBI help in investigating the crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 in Egypt comes as no surprise since the Bureau is a world leader in forensic investigations of terror incidents, former FBI agent Ron Hosko tells Newsmax TV.

"The truth is the FBI has vast experience in this area and tremendous expertise," Hosko told host Ed Berliner on "The Hard Line." "They have a capability that is probably unmatched around the world.

"In the wake of our efforts and Operation Enduring Freedom, the FBI created the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center called TEDAC in about 2003, that brings together not just FBI personnel and experts but those from the military and other government agencies as well. So there's a great capability here."
