The FBI don't operate outside the US. It would be the CIA if anyone.

The FBI does operate overseas: https://www.fbi.gov/about/leadership-and-structure/internati...

Here's an article on using the FBI as more or less another branch of special forces: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/insid...

I seem to remember Brandon Webb's book "the red circle" where he relates FBI agents were attached to seal teams to do forensics in theater after operations.

Which is just another example of how government expands its scope and rarely ever contracts.
