Congressman Peter King (R-N.Y.) is not happy with the FBI’s handling of intelligence surrounding the Boston Marathon bombings. He called it an “absolute failure.”

Rep. Peter King, FBI “chose to look the other way” on items in Boston bombing suspect’s file.

King also made the point that the threat is coming from the Muslim community, and surveillance should be increased there.
