FBI: NYPD Muslim surveillance program 'a waste of money'

http://www.metro.us/newyork/local/article/1148967--fbi-nypd-muslim-surveillance-program-a-waste-of-money

In 2009, the FBI and New Brunswick Police responded to a 911 call about suspicious, terrorist-like activity in an apartment that was undergoing code inspections. According to the 911 caller, the room had surveillance equipment, literature on Muslims, photographs of terrorists, and little else.

The culprits? New York's finest, spying undercover in New Jersey on Muslim Americans.

A new book hitting shelves next week finds that some of the first responders to that apartment three years ago, the FBI, find the NYPD's program to be a "waste of money" and has barred agents from dealing with the department's intelligence division, the New York Daily News reported this morning.
