George Piro[4] The High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) is a U.S. three-agency intelligence-gathering entity that brings together intelligence professionals from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the United States Department of Defense (DoD).

[11] In January 2010, the Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair said that the group would begin interrogating people in the U.S. as well.

[6] The HIG is subject to oversight by the National Security Council, the Department of Justice, and by Congress.

[6][10] The group's creation stopped a bureaucratic war between the CIA and the FBI over who had responsibility for interrogations.

[9][12] HIG questioned Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American citizen responsible for the 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt,[10] Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,[13] and Benghazi terror suspect Ahmed Abu Khattala.
