FBI Rejected Sephardic Jews As Translators.
Despite a shortage of Arabic translators, the FBI turned down applications for linguist jobs from nearly 100 Arabic-speaking Jews in New York
The FBI's New York office in October 2001 asked a local charity that works with Arab Jews to submit applications for the linguist jobs, which are crucial to anti-terrorism investigations, but not one of the more than 90 applicants was hired.
A spokesman for the FBI's New York office says that headquarters made the final cuts.
