I'm completely perplexed that the FBI would be involved, other than that Trump could have added this as a condition of the urgent assistance the US was providing to Lebanon. Like the investigation should at least give the idea of being unbiased and objective. Instead the US would be able to decide on its own version of the truth if they wanted to. It just doesn't look right to me and I can't help being suspicious of the motives for including the FBI. At least the French seem to be taking an almost lead role in the investigation so they can keep checks on the FBI and the other way round.
I found a copy of this article that gives more information about the investigation team, however no real reason why the FBI has been included:
