FBI Director Robert Mueller says he doesn't believe his counterterrorism supervisors need to have a background in Arabic, the Middle East or international issues.
''Let me tell you that we want to develop that within the bureau, but making that an absolute requirement -- if you do not have it you would be precluded from advancing in counterterrorism -- no,'' Mueller testified recently in an employment lawsuit.
Mueller described his own expertise in Middle Eastern terrorism as having been ''relatively limited'' when he took over the FBI a week before the Sept. 11 attacks.
