attack or attempt, the so-called underwear bomber who wanted to blow up that plane heading in to detroit. he was also behind a plot later in 2010, the end of 2010 to put explosives on cargo planes, to put them in printer cartridges and load them up on cargo leans headed into the u.s. it will be interesting what we find out. >> what are officials willing to say about this bulletin that was issued today? >> reporter: not much more than what you said earlier. they said this drone strike, the killing of anwar al awlaki and samir khan could provide motivation for homeland attacks by home grown violent extremists. these are people who may have been born in america, these are the kinds of people that anwar al awlaki and his group were trying recruit, trying to inspire with all of their recruiting english language magazine and that sort of thing. as of right now officials say

there are no indications of specific plans being made for any specific attack. the idea is that everyone should stay vigilante. >> athenna jones, thanks so much. more on the man we mentioned earlier, samir khan. he was a u.s. citizen and lived in north carolina. who he was and what he did was not a top secret in the charlotte, north carolina area as our affiliate station wptv found out. here is molly. >> reporter: we started off by ringing the doorbell of samir khan's parents house. no answer. >> as you can imagine if it was your child a number of emotions, embarrassed. >> reporter: he said that the ideology that samir promoted was wrong. he said samir dangerous. >> was he a terrorist? >> that's a good question.

he definitely was a terrorist supporter. >> but you wouldn't say and he was terrorist? >> did he actually commit an act of terror? you know, i don't think it's ever been proven that he has. >> would propaganda, the words he used against people online wouldn't that be considered an act of terror? >> i don't know because he was doing the same thing while he was here. >> was' backyard terrorist? >> if he did that while he was here i would say he should have been arrested and tried for that. >> the federal government might agree with him on that one. at one point khan was listed as the number two guy when it came to propaganda. >> if he's the number two guy how did federal intelligence let him get away, move from charlotte, hop a plane, go to yemen, when i can find him in a parking lot? >> i know, molly. those are the questions i'm asking right now. >> he said he tried to counsel

samir years ago including samir's own father. it didn't work. but he says this is not a day to celebrate. >> some americans say this is a huge day to rejoice, he was a terrorist and now he was taken out along with anwar al awlaki. >> i'm not one that rejoices in the loss of human life regardless of whether they had it coming north. >> the online magazine sami samir khan produced was called "inspired" and included bomb making instructions and al qaeda propaganda. he traveled to yemen in 2009 on a round trip ticket but never returned. and the man we're about to tell you about lived on stream water and leaves for six days. coming up how a 68-year-old man's children helped save his life after he drove into a steep ravine. treat you like a policy, not a person.
