The agency is launching a national website highlighting unidentified bank robbers from around the country.
The FBI has launched a national website dedicated to identifying unknown bank robbers from the FBI’s 56 field offices, and it includes several who have allegedly committed crimes in Alexandria.

Victory Center on Eisenhower Avenue considered an "emerging possibility."
Could the FBI move its headquarters to Alexandria? On Tuesday during a City Council meeting, Mayor Bill Euille asked city staff what could be done to put Alexandria in contention to land the agency.

In their letter to GSA Acting Administrator Daniel Tangherlini, the lawmakers asked GSA to undertake a qualitative “source selection” procurement, rather than cost-only process, noting that Northern …
