FBI Agent William Evanina, who helped investigate the anthrax attacks in 2001 and the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, is moving to a new job, Citizens Voice reports.

Evanina has been appointed director of the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, giving him a important role in the country’s security.

“The office of the national counterintelligence executive leads the entire US government in protecting America from counterintelligence threats,” Evanina said.

Evanina, a Pennsylvania native, worked 25 years in the U.S. government and 18 years for the FBI. He worked on organized crime and was a trained sniper.

“Working on violent crimes is beyond dangerous,” he said. “It showed me how violent and dangerous a country and a city could be but that there (are) a good people out there.”
