12 Suspects Who Should Have Been On List, May Have Entered U.S., Inspector General Says

(CBS) Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI’s top priority has been tracking and stopping potential terrorist attacks against the United States.

But, a new report Wednesday from the Justice Department’s Inspector General says the FBI has been lax in updating the nation’s terror watch list, CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports.

The report, which looked at 216 terrorism investigations, reveals the FBI has often been late in submitting names of suspected terrorist to the watch list, and in a few cases, has never added the names.
