ATF gets new leader in Philadelphia

The bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has tapped a 20-year veteran to lead its Philadelphia division. The new special agent in charge, Essam Rabadi, started on May 1.

Rabadi comes directly from a stint overseeing the firearms division at the bureau's Washington, D.C. headquarters, but his appointment marks a return to Philadelphia, one of many stops in his career.
