officers that there might have been four suspects. what we believe to be true now is that this one suspect. >> let's cross now to melissa chan who is in dallas for us. the police are confirming whether the suspect is alive or dead. do we know anything else about it? >> i think it's interesting in the early reports overnight the belief from police themselves was that it was actually four gunmen multiple gunmen used. but this morning they did clarify that they do believe that it is now just one gunman, one suspect. now a name has been floating around, and this was a name provided by the suspect himself during communication with the s.w.a.t. team. they're not going to mention that name yet because it is

unconfirmed, but if it is, indeed, this name of the suspect, what police understand is that this is a family matter about child custody in a this person has been really unhappy about. happening right now is the police surrounding the van iny the suspect is in. they do believe that this person is dead, but there was intimation that the van was booby trapped. >> there was question about the security at the building. >> that's an excellent question. how often do you have the dallas police department becoming the crime screen, and the police chief was saying that there were bullet holes all over. in the lobby the second floor

207 fighters since launching the operation near the border. they say that pakistan is changing the focus of the operation to remove the taliban from the area. >> i think most of the northern waziristan has been cleared but there is still about 10 to 15 persons in the area which remains under the control of partial control of the militant militants, which is pakistan, and some other militants which reside there. and pakistan has been trying to continue and completely clean the area, but the toughest area is the one where they are operating at the moment. and this is the shawa valley, which is the toughest nut to crack at the moment. they have been successful, and they hope in a month or two they'll be able to completely clear that area.
