发帖数: 3299 | 1 Two members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit died Friday while
practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the
FBI announced Monday in a statement.
The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents
Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw, other than to say the helicopter
encountered unspecified difficulties and the agents fell a “significant
distance.”
Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a
suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. And in February, it rescued a 5-
year-old boy held hostage for six days in an underground bunker in Alabama.
“Whenever things go really wrong, the FBI calls in the Hostage Rescue Team.
It’s the government’s 911,” Coulson said.
Irvin Wells, a former FBI special agent who retired in 1990 after leading
the Norfolk field office for three years, stressed that the Hostage Rescue
Team is different from the FBI’s regular SWAT teams. He noted that agents
assigned to a field office’s SWAT team also must perform other jobs inside
the bureau, while agents assigned to the Hostage Rescue Team have no other
duties.
