i was going to say that -- >> this is for you. >> the fbi would send the leads immediately. and in this situation, they may have already done that because that one person was developed as a suspect started to obtain telephone and e-mail records. they saw contacts going to not just pakistan but all over the united states. they would be sending leads to those countries for the fbi to request the host country to provide the information of who was the recipient of the e-mail or the recipient of the phone calls in those countries. and then also as they were identifying this person, what's his background in terms of the other country? is he still a citizen of the other country? what residence did he have? did he have affiliations with us is suspicious persons of the country. the investigation will be absolutely immediate once they have the identity of the suspect in this case. >> also wonder if this suspect was on any kind of list, no fly list or, you know, if his name was on any terror list. drew, your thoulghts on that. >> i'm sorry. >> no worries. i was just telling orb asking

the tooipz writes this, fbi agents located mr. shahzad in bridge po bridgeport, connecticut, and continued to follow him. at about 12:30 p.m. on monday, more certain mr. shahzad was the suspected terrorist, investigators asked the department of homeland security to put him on the no-fly list. three minutes later the department sent airlines, including emirates an electronic notification they should check the no-fly list for an update. workers at emirates evidently did not do that because at 6:30 p.m. mr. shahzad called the airline and booked a flight to pakistan, via dubai. and his arrest was unusually quiet. >> i didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. obviously he was trying to get out of the country. there was no threat, no skirmish, no incident of that nature. >> wow. >> you're here. >> shahzad claims he acted alone. investigators are learning if he has links to the tpakistani taliban. >> that's something. >>> let's bring if richard engel, on the phone from islamabad, pakistan. richard, you were on time. can you br

the forensics are being done, all the leads are being pursued, it's the city of new york, it's the fbi, department of homeland security, that's looking at the vehicle and it's tracing fingerprints and it's looking at video because there are a lot of cameras in that area and a lot of activity in terms of investigation. >> white house press secretary robert gibbs was asked about this today as well and wouldn't discuss who might be involved and what their motives might be. the president said he will continue to monitor the situation and do what it takes at home and abroad to safeguard the security of americans. juliet? >> nicole collins live in washington. thank you, nicole. the crisis in the gulf prompting a massive off-shore effort in one state that could be severely impacted in the oil spill. alabama deploying hundreds of boats to lay down thousands of feet of boom, that could help. alabama's attorney general was just one of four gulf state ag's who gathered to discuss legal strategies to deal with the spill. jonathan serrie is live on dauphin island, how ready is the island to deal wi

we talked a lot about the need for enhanced fbi additional fbi agents to focus on white-collar crime because over the last several years,he fbi has had to transform itself into a national security agency. we also talked about the need for additional u.s. attorneys and working with attorneys in the field, figuring out whether a centralized tax force or more dispersed approach is appropriate. we will need to focus on fraud, consumers, mortgage fraud, and aud against the government, particularly with large sums of money flowing into the private sector. those are going to need to be extraordinary priorities. >> he told me you would look at putting more agents on it. i want to keep the record open, because i want to know specifically what you do to beef up the fight against white- collar crime relative to what was done in the bush administration. get back to as quickly on that. >> i wl, senator. >> there was an aggressive effort for pursuing individuals that are sharing music files. the you think said they ought to pursue time accusing -- looking at people that are accused of illegal down

with us, mike rogers, former fbi agent, democratic congresswoman, donna edwards and jeanne meserve. jean, let's begin with you on the latest of the investigation. >> a federal law enforcement official tells me that they do not believe he had any associates in the united states. they believe he built and placed that bomb on his own at this point in the investigation. they're still looking very hard at the international connections and a senior pakistani official tells us that in july of 2009, it's believed that he traveled up through the waziristan portion of pakistan where he met with one or more leaders of the pakistani taliban. with him on this trip was a man named mohammed rehad. that group is believed to have links with the pakistan taliban. rehan has been taken into custody. despite all this, at this point in time, they aren't ready to draw a link between shahzad and any other group. >> another question is how did he get on this plane? you have new information about the time line of the watch list? >> this from an administration official. apparently at 12:30, he was added to th

but the fbi had already placed him on a no-fly list. so instead of heading home to pakistan via dubai, authorities ordered the plane back to the terminal and apprehended shahzad. president obama said justice will be done in this case and americans will not live in fear of terrorism. >> as americans and as a nation, we will not be terrorized. we will not cower in fear. we will not be intimidated. we will be vigilant. we will work together. and we will protect and defend the country we love to ensure a safe and prosperous future for our people. that's what i intend to do as president, and that's what we will do as a nation. >> nbc's michelle franzen is at the courthouse now in new york. michelle, what's the latest regarding shahzad's court appearance here? >> reporter: well, we're expecting this afternoon that he will be arraigned. we don't know for "9lsure. but attorney general eric holder made it clear that he faces charges of active terrorism as well as the attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and explosives charges. this is wh

they were there for several hours early this evening and late afternoon, and we did see fbi, i.c.e. agents, state police. we saw them removing at least three bags of materials. they also went into a neighbor's home for a short time. but, you know, that house had not been blocked off earlier today. so it was a late development throughout the day that they went to that shelton home. again, you know, from what we know, that home had been in foreclosure, and neighbors say that the family had not been there for several months, and that it had been vacant. >> larry: thank you, mary. mary snow on top of the scene, one of the better correspondents in the field. thank you so much. let's go now to islamabad, pakistan, andres za, the cnn international correspondent. what is the latest? have there been arrest there's, reza? >> there have been a couple arrests, a couple of individuals arrested in karachi. we don't know the identity of the individuals. according to government officials here in pakistan, faisal shahzad did have a karachi id, a karachi residence, a house in karachi in this neighbor

when gun dealers run background checks, which they have to, by law, sen to the fbi, should not fbi agents have the authority to block these sales to those on the terrorist watch list and deemed too dangerous to fly? i believe they should, and so do 500 mayors who are part of a bipartisan coalition of mayors against illegal guns. right now, the fact is they do not. as senator lautenberg and congressman king have just said, it is time to close this terror gap in our law. at a time when the threat of terrorism is still very real, as we in new york city know all too well, i think it is imperative that congress close this terror gap in our gun laws and close it quickly. the car bomb the nypd found in times square on saturday night was not the only attempted terrorist attack on our city since 9/11, far from it. sadly, we do not think it will be the last. since 1990, there were more than 20 terrorist plots of attacks against our city. that is why it is so critical for congress to fully fund homeland security programs like the "securing the city's" initiative. they should take other steps to help

the fbi monitors the groups. they are always mindful of the fact of keeping the first amendment right. we monor them to make sure they do not cross the line. it crosses into that which is criminal. >> is there a formal kind of definition of raising the level of attention on domestic terrorism the way we have done? i do not hear anything coming over to us to talk about. i did hear that a kid was accused of being a terrorist in school because this autistic kid gruesome ptures of what looked like violent pictures. i've never heard of this kind of terrorism being described domestically. what can you do to help focus this country on domestic terrorism? >> i have a briefing with the fbi director. >> if you can wrap itp. your time has expired. finish the answer, please. it component of the conversation focuses on what is going on domestically. the american people should be reassured that the law enforcement agencies and the justicdepartment is focused not only on international terrorism but on domestic terrorism as well

are you nypd or fbi? shahzad is now in federal custody. intelligence officials said his father-in-law and friend were detained for questioning in pakistan yesterday. in karachi, officials say more people were taken into custody today. they wouldn't say how many or who they were. investigators do want to know if shahzad acted alone, obviously, or as part of a larger plot and what training he might have had. court documents show shahzad had a prepaid cell phone activated april 16th, deactivated april 28th. the documents also reveal he'd recently received a dozen calls from pakistan, including five on the day he bought the nissan pathfinder, the one that was bought in connecticut, later found at times square filled with explosive material. those phone calls stopped three days before the failed bombing. >>> shahzad is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, acts of terrorism, transcending national boundaries and three other counts in connection with the saturday incident. christi, back to

are you nypd or fbi? there's a report that after -- after he dropped the bomb in times square, apparently he hopped a train back to connecticut. the reason this is known is because he called his landlord saying that he had locked himself out of his apartment. what he did in between in those hours between getting back into his apartment and then leaving for the airport about 50 mores, that right now is still a mystery, tony. >> deb, when did things start to fall apart sort of around him. >> reporter: it's interesting. it seems that things started going bad in 2009. he was unable to make the mortgage payments on his house. this house behind me had gone into foreclosure. he left his job and quit a mickably. his wife started selling possessions on craigslist and she moved away with the couple's two children. that is when he allegedly went to pakistan and trained in a jihadi terror camp and when did he get back from pakistan. >> he got back two months ago actually. he went to a gun shot that's half a mile from

. >> kroft: art folsom was zazi's lawyer when he began his plea negotiations with the fbi, and he says his client told them that he wanted to retaliate against the u.s. military for the innocent civilians that had been killed in his native country. did you or anybody ask him, if you had these feelings about the death of innocent civilians in afghanistan, why didn't you just speak out against it? >> folsom: he actually did bring that up. he said that if he just sat there and wrote letters to the editor, who was going to listen to him? but if he walked into a wal-mart with an explosive strapped to him and blew it up, then people were going to pay attention to what it was he had to say. >> kroft: but zazi didn't reach that conclusion all by himself. he had originally gone to pakistan to try and hook up with the taliban to fight american troops in afghanistan, but once there, he was recruited by al qaeda, and they had bigger plans for him. >> folsom: they realized they could do more with him in the united states, and i think that they're probably very good at taking people who already have

with the fbi director. we believe those joint task forces, whether it's on violent crime, terrorism or mortgage fraud, is the way to go. we look forward to your budget on that. i know we've started late and i just want to make one other emphas emphasis, which is on protecting women and children. we reall salute the obama administration for increasing funds against the violence against women and know when the hot line was created i the judiciary committee and senator leahy played such an important part in that along with our vice president, we now know that hot line, over 1 million women have called thatot line and they've either been saved from death or danger. we want -- that's as important as standing stry against any other attack. the protection for children, as a former child abuse worker there's nothing as vile as a crime against a child anticipate want to make sure yo have the right resources to do the job. there are other issues referring to guantanamo bay, the prchase of the illinois prison and dete

and as soon as anything comes from the investigation from new york, or from the fbi, saying we may be looking for a connection abroad here is what we know, they'll leap on it. >> brian: thank you for joining us on the america's news headquarters. appreciate it. by the way, one of the people here at fox news who covers these kind of things, the terror i terror i terrorist and all the things about terrorism and concerns and threats about the country is our own catherine herridge and she is on the phone and she has been working her sources. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good afternoon. i had a conversation with a senior u.s. official who says to me based on the evidence so far, in investigation is wide open in terms who have may have been responsible. as you know, the nypd and the f.b.i. are in the lead. and what they're doing right now is they're assessing what was described to me as a wealth of forensic evidence. that forensic evidence is important because it allows investigators to develop threads which may lead them to possible parties which are responsible. as for some claims p

. >> when you were with the fbi. tell me a little bit about, i mean when you say training, what is it, they give them wires and something and tell them how to do this? >> well, yeah, actually they do. they do have manuals and that's one of the things they'll look for in the search warrant, was he ever given any manuals how to make bombs, improvised explosive devices, weapons trainings, these kinds of things and they go through actual hands-on training. you know i mean, bombmakers, some don't last very long. it's not a great prfgs profession to get into, that's for sure. the fbi has an office in islamabad and working with the pakistani officials trying to figure out whether or not he did go through training in waziristan. >> he was on a no fly list which makes you roll your eyes and go, how in the world did he board the plane and get this close to leaving to freedom? >> that's a great question. yesterday during a press conference the department of homeland security janet napolitano she was dancing around that a little

the fbi is in charge of all these investigations. i've certainly had my issues with the fbi when i was at nypd. at the end of the day, we work very well together. i think the fbi has made great strides since 9/11 in shifting its culture to be one more on intelligence as opposed to investigation, trying to prevent a crime, rather than going after the criminals after some type of crime. now have to get in front of the crimin activity. i think they made progress. i would not recommend changing the structure. host: we will get a perspective from south dakota. guest: there were hearings a couple months ago on the unrwear bomber. the spokesman for the pentagon, patrick kennedy, admitted that the underwear bombing was an intelligence operation. the more you look into all these different terrorist activities, we see some intelligence involved. do you want to kp us in a continuous state of fear? th's what i think seems to be happening here. guest: i'm not sure what you mean by intelligence operation. i have tried in my wo, and i've written a

he was also a former member of the fbi national joint terrorism task force. also with us james gordon, reporter for the "new york daily news." steve, we all fly. and as we hear this, we expect a no-fly list to stop things like that. i think we're thinking no fly list, neon lights if somebody shows up at the counter. does it go down like that, or not? >> exactly, mike. ironically, it was this terrorist that showed us a gap in our security system. but let me bring some comfort to you. when i worked with the joint terrorism task force ten years ago, there was little or no information sharing between agencies. as a result, we now have information sharing, and it resulted in this guy's arrest. the timeliness of getting that information out on these no-fly lists is now being corrected. so, yep, there's a gap there, but they're going to correct it. >> james, any other explanations? because, again, i think viewers think no fly means just that. and it's an immediate exchange of information. sounds like it's not. go ahead, james. >> well, normally when you're on the no

fbi agents have been able to link additional evidence from searching shahzad's current home. they work with their state and local counterparts in new york, connecticut and other jurisdictions to gather evidence and intelligence related to this case. we are also coordinating with other members of the president's national security team to ensure that we use every resource available to bring everyone responsible to justice or these agents and prosecutors or the back one of our national security affairs. any of them doing their jobs outside the spotlight of the media. i want to commend them for their results in this case and their unwavering commitment to their jobs. we owe them our gratitude and our respect. finally, i want to take this opportunity to remind all americans how important it is to remain vigilant. the suv and time scare was first outed by an alert bystander who reported it to authorities. by being aware of his surroundings and by thinking quickly, he helped save lives and forwarded a potentially devastating attack here at as always, anyone who notices any suspiciou

smuggling out pieces of paper from the fbi unit down the street here. every time he did it at risk of being caught, taking pieces of paper and putting them in issue and then having to meet his russian handler in some park somewhere or have a dead letter drop in some park in washington to pass information on. i was traditional espionage. you know how hard that was? first of all, the russian has to find an american on the inside who would likely do this by. that target spotting was incredibly intense, took most of the time's spies target spotting. then you find a person in my provide the information. you have to persuade them, pay them, to all of this manipulation and is very risky. and what do you get as a result? a shoebox filled with paper. in one hour, a hacker can get into a network and export trade equivalent of the library of congress. terabytes of information out the door in minutes, certainly in hours. and most of the time, this happens to companies or institutions involved don't know this at the time. most of them know after the fact with nature

i did reach out to the fbi for a response. richard cole co says we do not comment on specific investigations or techniques. one can surmise this was tightly held information. they did not want this name leaking out so they were being quite careful about who they distributed it to. in the end there was another trap in the system that did catch this individual. >> all right, jeanne meserve for us tonight. thanks very much. >> just a short time ago, i spoke with former homelands security secretary, michael chernoff and asked him about whether these new no fly rules would have stopped him from getting on the airplane. take a listen? >> the problem in this case is that the no fly list is still operated by the airlines and not by tsa. there's a program called secure flight which relaunched a few years ago, although it was delayed by the airlines, that will, when it is fully implemented, eliminate this problem, because it will no longer be up to the airlines to deny boarding but it will be up to tsa. i should point out, campbell, the

the fbi has offered its assistance. given the fact that this is an american citizen, the main suspect in this murder and an american citizen, the victim in the murder, why isn't the mexican government accepting this aid given the fact that the investigation seems to be stalled? >> well, one can only speculate as to why the mexican government is not accepting an open arms, frankly, the help of the fbi considering how much scrutiny there already is in the case. however, it is up to mexico to be able to say, here, come on in and we have seen other cases -- look at the natalie holloway case where other countries have been slow to the punch to take assistance from the fbi. >> bruce beresford-redman does have a very legitimate motive for wanting to return home to california and that would be his two young children that the couple had a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old. they have been staying with his parents and there's a hearing going on this week for temporary custody because the victim's sister, the children's aunts are fightin

it could be done by the fbi. would it not make sense to, again, for this precautionary system that we're talking about, would not make sense to also ask that somebody who came in to purchase a gun be run through the larger databases that the fbi has of people under active investigation? >> senator, i am would be fully in favor -- i would be fully in favor of that. i agree with you completely. >> thank you. a couple of more questions, quickly. nypd has a program that reaches out to businesses that some material and equipment that could be used to facilitate terrorist activities. i would like you to talk a little bit more about that and how it has worked, and how you have encouraged other communities to adopt the same program. >> it had to do specifically with airplane parts leaving the country. this is an outreach program on the part of the department where we go to businesses that may unwittingly sell things that could be used by terrorists, even garden supply stores that sell fertilizer. insecticide spray compan

the fbi discovered a prepaid cell phone he used to arrange the purchase of the car just last month. he used that same phone, they say, to call a pennsylvania fireworks dealer. the bomb in the suv contained more than 150 m-88 firecrackers. fertilizer was another component. officials say a search of shahzad's house turned up more fireworks of the type used in the bomb and bags of the same kind of fertilizer. >> if successful, it could have resulted in a lethal terrorist attack causing death and destruction in the heart of new york city. >> reporter: as for how shahzad was able to board that flight to dubai own though he was on the no-fly list, the government says the airline failed to keep its list current. starting today, all airlines must update their databases within two hours of notice that someone's been added to the no-fly list. pete williams, nbc news in times square. >>> today in greece, a general strike. a massive protest and violence over big cuts in government spending. those cuts were ordered to help greece recover from an economic crisis that is affecting markets around t
