and a man called omar the chechen. but his real name is tarkhan batirashvili. he joined ranks early on rose through extremist circles and became a key public figure in the early days of isis. you'd see him often more on social media videos with baghdadi at the beginning. and finally $3 million for tariq al harzi, leader in the border syria/iraq region. these now clearly lined up as key figures in the isis hierarchy. but of course investigators really to establish the older model we are familiar with of al qaeda as to whether they are linked to the garland, texas, attacks will be trying to work out if these key leaders somehow knew of that attack in advance or if we are looking at lone wolves inspired by isis ideology or isis supporters even on twitter. a very different model. john? >> how hierarchical is isis to begin with? a very real question right now. nick paton walsh for us. >>> senate republicans narrowly passing a budget that would eliminate the deficit by the year 2024. the nonbinding measure calls dismantling of obamacare, deep cuts to education fundin

they tricked the chechen terrorists luring them into a sense of false security. they relaxed. and they're going to pay for that. at 5:45 a.m. more than four days into the siege, russian forces make their move staging a full scale assault. they pump a cold war era weaponized gap into the theater. once they knock out the terrorists with the chemical agent, the plan is to enter and shoot. it's a decision the russian government will come to regret. >> what happened next was utter chaos. the government gave no warning whatsoever to the emergency services. >> emergency service workers are grossly unprepared for the hundreds of unconscious theater goers. many of the victims die outside the theater. >> there was just panic. we have got to get them out, and they were just dumping them outside, and people were literally suffocating to death outside. they weren't enough doctors. this person is out. is he breathing? if he is not breathing, resuscitate him, put him in a recovery position. that was the issue. i have absolutely no doubt >> in the panic, svetlana and her 13-year-old daughter

the 21 year old chechen who was convicted last month could be headed the death penalty, or he could also face life behind bars. we are just receiving word from boston that the jury has reached a decision on that sentencing. we can expect to hear from them an announcement in the hours ahead. we will, of course, bring you that as soon as we get it. witnesses in the iraqi city of ramadi say militants from the islamic state organization have today raised their black flagged over a key government building in the capital, of which they are largely in control. the jihadist insurgents attacked during the course of the night with six suicide car bombings. if it does fall entirely in the hands of militants, it would be a major strategic blow to the government of the prime minister. the united nations cultural agency has been expressing its alarm as violence in syria is approaching the ancient city of palmyra, which is one of the most important unesco world heritage sites in the whole of the middle east. they are concerned the jihadist could try to destroy the 2000 year old ruins just as they have

and curiosity and asking road hard questions about the nature of information that's going into these chechens. honestly i mean, they are fair-minded folks inside all the testing companies who are scientists who, if you ask of them, they will freely admit the nature something like proficiency, that the agency should never been legislated for 1% of our students. that's an absurdity. we define proficiency with reference to a bell curve and the idea that wanted to present us into going to pass that point, you know it is a laudable ideal but an absurdity in practice. >> i teach kindergarten, and i'm going to read your book, i wonder what examples for younger grades and how come to me, that seems to be one of the ripest places to start talking to them about this is what her child goes through. .. an academic ties with academic materials as before. it is unlikely to be valid in terms of what it is actually trained to do. but i do believe there is ability to have counterweight. parents are coming to kindergarten when you have a child, everybody tells you children develop at their own rate. don't worr

they fought the chechens for a while, repressed some elements of their population so there is the potential for this increased linkage. you have the issue with their previously backed syrian partner that is as michael said earlier, is falling apart right now. i think they are going to be looking for an increased partnership with the united states in terms of fighting terrorism. >> and we're waiting for this news conference to happen, bobby, between the foreign minister of russia and the secretary of state of the united states. do you anticipate anything major emerging? it's been a long time since the secretary of state has been to russia two years since a high ranking u.s. official has met with the russian president putin. >> well the major thing that was going to happen is that that kerry has gone. i wouldn't expect anything beyond that to come at the press conference but it is an important significant development that the secretary of state has gone to russia after a long spell. there is something to be taken away from that. i share michael's skepticism from your previous segment. you kno

they are doing other things like using the odd languages like uzbek or chechen to communicate, and using the sites and apps that are difficult like wicker and it cannot be tracked. >> kimberly, there is a big difference between finding the true isis sympathizer and sn who someone who is trying to act, and someone who is just spout ing it online, and how does the u.s. government differentiate who is going to act and who is the realk? >> well as bob said, a proliferation of the information on the web, and thousands a day, and that means more chatter each day and more each passing day for analysts to sift through, and one of the advantages that u.s. officials hope to get from the material raid in syria is that maybe they can get some of the passwords and see some of the mechanisms on the laptops that they have seized to figure out how one of the top leaders of isis is communicating. who knows what they can find in terms of the keys to the, you know there are a lot of the encrypted ways to communicate the what they are using and they have the physical hardware to figure it out. >> do you hav

they claim that in the chechen culture, you follow the dictates of the senior person in the family that became the older brother because his father was having mental problems. his parents ultimately separated and left went back overseas. and so they said the death penalty should be for the worst of the worst that's tamerlan he's gone and dzhokhar isn't as responsible. clearlily the jury rejected that on at least the counts involved with the victims who died with the bomb he planted. >>> the government evidence here was extremely strong, hearing from the victims of those bombs and parents of martin richard, the relatives and friends of lindsay liu and the fact that that video was such a key piece of evidence where you could see dzhokhar tsarnaev come to the front of the restaurant and stand there for four minutes and the government said it was obvious he was placing his bomb right near a bunch of children. and i think that was especially persuasive. one of the government's counts here and claims they said should lead the jury towards the death penalty. he targeted an especially vulnerabl

two other names more public a man better known as omar the chechen, he's a key military leader who joined the syrian rebels early on and then became more and more extremist to join isis. $5 million if you know where he is. and $5 million if you know where isis spokesman is as well. he's a very public figure giving many of their statements. and a fourth lesser known for $3 million al harzi. this came out that al qaeda was somehow affiliated or responsibility. i think investigators want to be sure that there are links perhaps to these key leaders and any prior planning of that attack. no sign of that at this stage. there are so many isis fanboys out there on twitter, as they're known, exchanges messages you talked about. back to you, alisyn. >> thanks nick. thanks for all of that background. we want to bring in phil mudd to talk about this. our cnn counterterrorism analyst and former cia counterterrorism official. phil great to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> one of the gunmen left a twitter trail a mile long. >> yeah. >> he was communicating with isis fighters and calling for vio
