The National Counterterrorism Center was being setup in response to terrorist activites. The CIA was tasked with forming it initially until its own independant leadership could be established...in keeping with the law CIA employees or analysts filled in on the key roles of the fledgling agency.The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is no longer in the CIA proper, (because of the 1947 law) but is in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). NCTC, however, contains personnel from the CIA, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the Department of Justice, and other members of the IC. A counterterrorism center did exist in the CIA before the NCTC was established.
