The FBIs primary (but not only) mission since 9-11 has become counter-terrorism and the variety of agencies retain their own OIG to investigate criminal activity that is specific to their mission. It's a federated approach as opposed to a more centralized one.
Truthfully I see a lot of advantages to doing it this way as it allows more special agent specialization and probably increases the effectiveness of investigations overall.
I thought counter terrorism was the purview of DHS?
