investigation. the cia acknowledged that tamerlan tsarnaev was put on a watch list after a warning from russia. >> late last night investigators hauled away a stash of fireworks discovered in a used clothing bin in watertown. the parents of the suspects say they are flying to the u.s. today presumably to see their son in the hospital and to collect tamerlan's body. abc's dan harris is following this investigation. >> reporter: new pictures taken on the night when the brothers tsarnaev allegedly engaged in a gunfight with police. that is them, says the local resident who took these shots from his bedroom window, firing from behind their carjacked black mercedes suv. and remarkably, abc news has learned that police believe during this entire shootout, the semiautomatic handgun in tamerlan's hand was the only gun the brothers had. that gun was later recovered at the scene of the shootout in watertown, which means that all day friday, as the city of

boston was shut down, the man holding it hostage, justifiably considered armed and dangerous, was, at least as far as police can tell right now, actually an unarmed 19-year-old curled up and bleeding in the back of a boat. we are getting new clues in the mystery of that young man. how did a boy like dzhokhar seen here dancing like a robot and wrestling good naturedly with a friend turn into this? the person who allegedly carried a bomb in his backpack, into a crowd of innocents. auto mechanic, gilberto jr. says his friend dzhokhar was chatty and fun except when his big brother was around. >> he was very quiet. he didn't say a word next to his brother. he just say hi. >> reporter: tamerlan, we are learning more about him. this is his mug shot when he was arrested for allegedly slapping his girlfriend in 2009. despite his sometimes flashy exterior, he and his wife and

3-year-old daughter were actually intermittently on welfare as recently as last year. focus turned to a friend of tamerlan's known as misha, a muslim convert, a bald, heavyset man with a red beard. tamerlan's uncle tells abc news that under misha's influence, tamerlan became increasingly militant. in russia, tamerlan's mother called that idea nonsense. one last note on the notion that the brothers had only one gun on the fateful thursday night into friday morning. police stress they're still investigating and hope to confirm that soon. one more note as well on the older brother tamerlan, he is still in a boston city morgue right now. as of yet, nobody has stepped forward to claim his body. dan harris, abc news, boston. we have learned that catherine russell, widow of tamerlan, was arrested for shoplifting in 2007. police say she stole $67 worth of clothing at a rhode island old navy. she was arrested and taken into custody and charged with one

count of shoplifting. the charges, though, were dismissed after she completed 30 hours of community service and gave $200 to a victims' fund. president obama has arrived in texas, where he's ordered flags to fly at half staff in honor of the victims of last week's deadly explosion near waco. the president will speak at a memorial service at baylor university this afternoon for the 14 people killed in that disaster, and this morning he delivers remarks at the dedication ceremony at the george w. bush presidential library in dallas. fiery scene in the port of mobile, alabama, this morning. two barges were being prepared -- they were being loaded with natural gas when they erupted in a series of explosions. three people hospitalized right now. they are in critical condition. workers were evacuated from the carnival "triumph," which is under repairs nearby. firefighters plan to let flames from the explosion burn themselves out. the mystery behind the ricin laced letters mailed to the president and other politicians remains unsolved this morning. the focus, though, has shifted from one man in mississippi to another.

both of them had been in an unusual feud. more now from abc's rina nyman. >> reporter: could the poison laced mail sent to president obama and a senator been an act of revenge? fbi in full hazmat gear raided the home of 44-year-old everett dutchky. >> i've never seen anything so blown out of proportion. >> reporter: he wants to clear his name and consented to the search. he once ran for the mississippi house of representatives. one letter went to mississippi house representative whittaker. seen in this photo on my space. >> will they find anything suspicious? >> everybody has something suspicious in their house, but, no, there's nothing related to these letters. >> reporter: on tuesday, after spending a week in jail and after multiple home searches turned up empty, charges were dropped against this man, paul kevin curtis.

curtis' lawyers claim he might have been set up. >> kind of like o.j. wanted to find the real killer. >> reporter: in 2007 dutchky allegedly posted this youtube video, claiming curtis was ruining his campaign. and curtis posted an ad on twitter that said dutchky was charged with child molestation. dutchky said he's met curtis twice and had an e-mail exchange with him once recently after curtis posted a fake mensa certificate. new studies out overnight may link sugary sodas to diabetes. it followed europeans who drank at least one sugary soft drink a day. researchers said they had an 18% risk of developing type ii diabetes. the research seems to back up similar conclusions made here in the u.s. is anybody surprised by this?

john muller and diana perez. good morning. new questions this morning about possible security lapses before the boston marathon bombing. the cia has acknowledged it put tamerlan tsarnaev's name on the terror list nearly two years ago after warnings from russia. >> u.s. investigators are in russia right now searching for any clues about the motive behind the bombings. >> reporter: as investigators seek to understand why tamerlan tsarnaev and his younger brother became inspired to attack during last week's boston marathon, their attention has turned here to the western region of dagestan in southern russia, where tamerlan spent six months last year. >> what happened is a terrible thing, but i know that my kids have nothing to do with this. >> reporter: wednesday the fbi interviewed the parents to try to learn more. according to one expert on the region, it would have been extremely difficult for tamerlan to have met with extremists or militants here.

the region is home to a violent islamic uprising. known extremists are closely monitored here. their phones are tapped, and mosqued are under tight surveillance. they monitor all phone calls with family and relatives, and if certain islamic phrases are used, they start to monitor those people. analyst ruslan thinks that is likely how tamerlan raised alarm bells with russian officials in 2011, and as a result, he was likely under surveillance during his visit here, making meetings with militants even less likely. the mosque here where militants have been known to pray insist they never saw tamerlan. and they say they don't preach violence against the united states. other experts agree on that last point, noting that terror groups here are focused on their war with russia and often look for sympathy in the united states. the biggest militant group here issued a statement saying they had nothing to do with the boston bombings.

>> the parents of the two suspects are flying to the u.s. today. the family wants to bring tamerlan tsarnaev's body back to russia. as of right now, it's at the medical examiner's office. the mother has spent the last two days being questioned by the fbi. the life of m.i.t. officer sean collier was remembered by thousands at a service yesterday. colleagues, family, and friends recall the young officer's dedication to his job and how he'd made countless friends on campus. the m.i.t. president said collier didn't just have a job at m.i.t., he had a life at m.i.t. vice president joe biden was there. >> i salute, i admire what you do on behalf of all of us every day. thank you for standing in line between our families and danger every single, solitary day. >> investigators now believe that officer collier was ambushed by the tsarnaev brothers, who were after his gun. it was a deadly day in rural illinois that resulted in six people being killed, five of them all from the same family, dying of gunshot wounds early

yesterday. the gunman, 43-year-old rick smith, was killed after a shootout with police. it's believed smith broke into the family home and shot the victims at close range. autopsies are scheduled for this morning. amanda knox is speaking out ahead of the release of her new book. in it, she details her time in an italian prison following the death of her former roommate. as abc's neal karlinsky reports, knox is not waiting for tomorrow's book release to tell her story. >> reporter: in a new interview with "people" magazine, amanda knox says her time in an italian prison was so difficult she considered killing herself. so lonely, she caressed the cheeks of family members' pictures in a photo album. and so terrifying, she says she was repeatedly sexually harassed. "the freedom that i'm most grateful for has to do with reclaiming my identity," she tells "people." "i am not a murderer." according to the magazine, in her soon to be released tell-all, "waiting to be heard,"

knox says while in prison she considered suicide by satisfy kating herself with a garbage bag or cutting herself in the shower. in the courtroom, i was called a liar and a murderer and a demon, she tells "people." the now famous moniker, foxy knoxy, she says, was actually a childhood nickname from her soccer team that had to do with her skills on the field. knox reportedly also writes about having her every move analyzed from afar, including this now famous video of her kissing then boyfriend rafael solecito outside the crime scene. "first i showed not enough emotion, then i showed too much," she wrote, according to "the new york times." knox now tells people a prison chaplain helped her maintain her sanity, teaching her to play piano on a keyboard cut out of paper. >> she didn't know what a tweet was. she didn't know who justin bieber was. she really didn't remember how to wash clothes in a washer and dryer. she had come back and kind of adapt again. >> reporter: now facing a new trial, why write a tell-all book?

knox tells people, "i'm tired of speculation. i wanted to lay myself out in a completely honest way. it was, you can judge me, but this is what you have to judge me on." neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> and much more from amanda knox on tuesday in an exclusive interview with abc's diane sawyer. it's a special edition of "20/20" you'll see that. it's tuesday night at 10:00/9:00 central. after days of relative calm, things are heating up again between north and south korea. this morning the south is warning of grave consequences if the north rejects talks about that factory on the border, which has been shut down nearly a month. today is a major military holiday in the north, leaving some to speculate about a possible nuclear test launch. one of syria's most important cultural treasures has become the latest casualty of the brutal civil war. the towering minaret of the landmark 11th century mosque in the city of aleppo was destroyed, reduced to a pile of

rubble. the fighters had occupied the mosque for over a year, and now each side is blaming the other for its collapse. defense secretary chuck hagel says the u.s. will rely on its own intelligence when it comes to syria. as hagel wrapped up a visit to egypt, he told reporters israel's assessment that syria had used chemical weapons in its civil war had taken him by surprise. he says the u.s. will not make a hasty judgment on that issue. changing your travel plans is going to cost you more because at least two airlines now are increasing their fees. listen to this. united and u.s. airways led the trend, boosting the fee charge to change your ticket to as much as $200 or even $300. the previous fee was $150. the airlines claim it helps them recover their expenses when a traveler gives up a reservation. discount competitors southwest among the airlines not charging you for changing your reservations, something to consider when you book your summer travel plans. one word -- well, a few words. give me a break, man. how many of these hidden charges? i mean, what the heck?

it's very important for the president to help -- as best as that person can humanly do so, help deal with the human suffering. he was right to go to boston, and he's right to go to west. >> do you have one word for the republican party today? >> you will exist in the future. >> i thought you were going to say "jeb bush." >> he would be great. >> your brother versus hillary clinton? >> it would be a fantastic photo. i'm interested in politics. i'm fascinated by all the gossip and stuff that goes on. >> so is it going to be grandma and granddad? is it going to be -- >> we don't know yet really. george wants to be called a hefe, boss. >> oh, hefe. >> and i'm probably going to end up being granny, like my mother, who's granny. >> i'll tell you this. holding that little child was one of the great joys of my

life. i remember holding barbara and jenna when they were born, but holding little mila was unbelievably pleasurable. i really am lookrward to this new phase of my -- our lives, which is being a grandfather. >> you're painting? >> much to the amazement of a lot of people. >> you're painting. looking at your feet in the bathtub. >> by the way, it's not that easy to paint. it's water hitting water, just so you know, and the perspective. >> how did you decide to do it? >> it may reflect my precocious nature, me painting myself in the bathtub or in the shower. i love to paint. painting has changed my life in an unbelievably positive way. i look at colors differently, and i see shadow. >> we looked at some of the reviews. layers of visibility, transparency, fragility. the quietude of a certain still life. >> you know what the interesting

thing is that you can keep learning in life. someone one time said to me, man, you deserve to rest, and i don't want to rest. i want to live life -- i want to follow the example of president 41 and sprint into the grave. >> there you go. >> fascinating interview, wasn't it? >> kind of delved into all kinds of little things. >> diane tried to grill him on political points, but he said he was on the sideline of that stuff. >> he was honest. he said, i like politics, and i kind of like the gossip. have you ever heard a head of state say something like that before? >> wasn't that something? >> and as far as the ceremony goes on thursday, we're going to have a lot of heads of state. security is going to be beefed up. basically, all of the former presidents that are still living. >> two bushes, clinton, obama. >> carter. >> carter, thank you. >> they're all going to be there. >> still to come, a modern man with a medieval weapon. >> the surprising way that a quiet mormon pastor chased away a mugger. maybe not so surprising.

th morni this morning on "world news now" -- new insight into the boston bombing investigation. was the younger suspect who hid in a boat as dangerous as federal agents believed? >> poison investigation. who sent ricin-laced letters to the president and other law makers? after one suspect is released, fingers are being pointed at another. we'll bring you the strange developments. hometown help. actor mark wahlberg wants to do something he hasn't done in years to help boston heal. the details are ahead in "the skinny." >> later, ooh baby, look at the moves. dance steps that may captivate you. will the new ad campaign really sell something? it's thursday, april 25th. >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now" with john muller and diana perez. good morning, everybody. we begin this half-hour with details on the boston bombing

investigation. the cia acknowledged that tamerlan tsarnaev was put on a watch list after a warning from russia. >> late last night investigators hauled away a stash of fireworks discovered in a used clothing bin in watertown. the parents of the suspects say they are flying to the u.s. today presumably to see their son in the hospital and to collect tamerlan's body. abc's dan harris is following this investigation. >> reporter: new pictures taken on the night when the brothers tsarnaev allegedly engaged in a gunfight with police. that is them, says the local resident who took these shots from his bedroom window, firing from behind their carjacked black mercedes suv. and remarkably, abc news has learned that police believe during this entire shootout, the semiautomatic handgun in tamerlan's hand was the only gun the brothers had. that gun was later recovered at the scene of the shootout in watertown, which means that all day friday, as the city of

boston was shut down, the man holding it hostage, justifiably considered armed and dangerous, was, at least as far as police can tell right now, actually an unarmed 19-year-old curled up and bleeding in the back of a boat. we are getting new clues in the mystery of that young man. how did a boy like dzhokhar seen here dancing like a robot and wrestling good naturedly with a friend, turn into this? the person who allegedly carried a bomb in his backpack, into a crowd of innocents. auto mechanic, gilberto jr. says his friend dzhokhar was chatty and fun except when his big brother was around. >> he was very quiet. he didn't say a word next to his brother. he just say hi. >> reporter: tamerlan, we are learning more about him. this is his mug shot when he was arrested for allegedly slapping his girlfriend in 2009. despite his sometimes flashy exterior, he and his wife and 3-year-old daughter were actually intermittently on

welfare as recently as last year. focus turned to a friend of tamerlan's known as misha, a muslim convert, a bald, heavyset man with a red beard. tamerlan's uncle tells abc news that under misha's influence, tamerlan became increasingly militant. in russia, tamerlan's mother called that idea nonsense. one last note on the notion that the brothers had only one gun on the fateful thursday night into friday morning. police stress they're still investigating and hope to confirm that soon. one more note as well on the older brother tamerlan, he is still in a boston city morgue right now. as of yet, nobody has stepped forward to claim his body. dan harris, abc news, boston. we have learned that catherine russell, widow of tamerlan, was arrested for shoplifting in 2007. police say she stole $67 worth of clothing at a rhode island old navy. she was arrested and taken into custody and charged with one count of shoplifting.

the charges, though, were dismissed after she completed 30 hours of community service and gave $200 to a victims' fund. president obama has arrived in texas, where he's ordered flags to fly at half staff in honor of the victims of last week's deadly explosion near waco. the president will speak at a memorial service at baylor university this afternoon for the 14 people killed in that disaster, and this morning he delivers remarks at the dedication ceremony at the george w. bush presidential library in dallas. fiery scene in the port of mobile, alabama, this morning. two barges were being prepared -- they were being loaded with natural gas when they erupted in a series of explosions. three people hospitalized right now. they are in critical condition. workers were evacuated from the carnival "triumph," which is under repairs nearby. firefighters plan to let flames from the explosion burn themselves out. the mystery behind the ricin laced letters mailed to the president and other politicians remains unsolved this morning. the focus, though, has shifted from one man in mississippi to another. both of them had been in an unusual feud.

more now from abc's reena ninan. >> reporter: could the poison ricin-laced ricin-laceded mail sent to president obama and a u.s. senator been an act of revenge? fbi in full hazmat gear raided the home of 44-year-old everett dutschke. >> i've never seen anything so blown out of proportion. >> reporter: dutchky says he wants to clear his name and consented to the search. he once ran for the mississippi house of representatives. one letter went to mississippi senator roger whittaker, seen here in this photo on my space. >> will they find anything suspicious? >> everybody has something suspicious in their house, but, no, there's nothing related to these letters. >> reporter: on tuesday, after spending a week in jail and after multiple home searches turned up empty, charges were dropped against this man, paul kevin curtis. curtis' lawyers suggest he might have been set up. >> instead of wanting to defend

her client, she just said, that guy did it. kind of like o.j. wanted to find the real killer. >> reporter: in 2007 dutschke allegedly posted this youtube video, suggesting curtis was destroying his campaign. and only weeks ago, it appeared, curtis posted a report on twitter that dutschke had been charged with child molestation. he was released on a $25,000 bond. dutschke said he's met curtis twice and had an e-mail exchange with him once recently after curtis posted a fake mensa certificate. new research just out overnight may confirm studies linking sugary sodas to diabetes. the study followed 25,000 europeans who drank at least one sugar sweetened soft drink a day. researchers said they had an 18% risk of developing type ii diabetes. the research seems to back up similar conclusions made here in the u.s. is anybody surprised by this? >> no, not really. stick to water, and all the fun

stuff is out, as usual. can't have anything fun. >> yeah, gives ammunition to people like mayor bloomberg here in new york city, who wanted to ban those sugary drinks. so many people say, we have the right to choose. >> that's right. >> oh, by the way, this had nothing to do with the person's size when they were tested. it didn't matter if they were obese or thin or physically active or not. you had a sugary drink. >> blood sugar spiked. >> spiked up. that's really not a surprise. should i say sad? no, we already knew that. >> coke is so -- pepsi, all of them. so good, and i miss it. i gave them up a few years ago. got to give up something. look at you. you have the best metabolism. >> i can't give it up. >> if i ate like diana, forget about it, and she still looks good. i'm jealous. >> this is the only thing i drink and eat, by the way. nothing else except dr. pepper. >> don't believe it. the benjamins are getting a makeover. the new $100 bill will start circulating in october.

it featured all this brand new stuff. 3d security ribbon, a disappearing liberty bell in the ink well, and on the front look for a giant 100 sideways on the back. the 20, 10, 50, and 5 dollar bills have already been redone to prevent counterfeiting. no plans to redo the single. >> that is a fabulous looking $100 bill. >> looking good. benjamin has never looked better. >> i wouldn't know. i don't have too many of those. few showers along d.c. and the carolinas. few showers along the great lakes and southern texas. still chilly in the midwest. mostly everywhere else, spring has finally arrived. >> finally. 70 degrees along the west coast. denver inching up to 69. 49 in minneapolis. just 53 in chicago. 64 in new york. baltimore, 73. in dallas, a toasty 84 degrees in miami. sometimes, particularly here on "world news now," we don't necessarily need a reason to show you some video. this one falls squarely in that category. >> ladies and gentlemen, you're looking at a cat dressed as a

shark riding a roomba vacuum and chasing a duckling. you can't make this up. it only gets better. >> of course it gets better. here we go, a dog wearing a hammerhead shark costume gets in on the action, of course. maybe what's most amazing is the cat stays on that roomba for so long. >> wow. >> what did we do before the internet existed? >> take a look at that dog. he's the one who looks the most scared of all of them. >> here's what i'll tell you, if you take a look at these animals' faces, inside they're saying -- >> really? really? this is what we have to do for dinner? >> this is what we have to do to make you people happy. i'd claim animal abuse. >> and this little duck has a dog and a cat looking at him. >> not a good day for animals, that one. oh, well. coming up in "the skinny," seeing double on the ellen degeneres show. why the host and viewers had quite a big surprise.
