More news from Boston ---the headline says it all: "Hub (i.e. Boston) FBI agents likely helped hit man kill again".

The hit man, one Vinnie ("The Animal") Barboza, was in the witness protection program at the time of these murders, after having used his own perjured testimony, with the connivance of the FBI, to put an innocent man named Joe Salvati in jail for one of his earlier killings.

This comes from a Congressional panel which is looking into the matter. They'd obviously like to see the FBI's records in the matter, but Ashcroft, last I heard, wouldn't cough them up, claiming executive privilege.
