    I’d say that you’re right - most Americans that die abroad are not members of groups poisoned in hotel rooms.

    But it also doesn’t appear at first glance like these folks were targeted because they were US citizens.

      More news came out, the murderer is one of the 6 and was also one of the 2 US citizens.

      Would that qualify for FBI intervention/assistance?

        Not sure. Last I saw was about the tea party and it being over an investment in Japan gone awry but the details beyond that were fuzzy.

        To clarify, my point was not that the FBI shouldn’t be involved; but the fact that they were involved made it seem like there was more to the story.
