the new york stock exchange just one target in more than 50 terror plots that officials say they have stopped since 9/11. that's the latest from the nsa hearing on capitol hill today. i'm going to go straight to it. intelligence officials trying to make the case that secret surveillance program help keep the country safe. at a hearing today they outlined four terror plots they say was disrupted because of those surveillance programs. they include plots to bomb the new york subway system, the new york stock exchange and a danish

newspaper. also unspecified terrorist activity that was shortly after 9/11. >> in recent years these programs have protected u.s. and our allies from terrorist threats across the globe to include helping prevent the potential terrorist events over 50 times since 9/11. we will bring forward tomorrow documents that the agency has agreed on in classified setting gives every one of those cases for your review. we'll add two more today publicly. as the chairman noted if we give all those out we give the secrets of how we're tracking down the terrorists of the community, and we can't do that. too much is at risk for us and our allies. >> i want to get more from our

correspondent dana bash. she was the first to report the story. alison kosik, the goal was to make sure they save lives. do you think the details coming forward from these officials, did they go far enough toward that goal? >> the jury is still out. just in listening to some of the skeptics and there are a few on the intelligence committee, the answer looks like likely no. you just heard from the nsa director, most of the plots are still classified. they will bring the details to congress but in classified setting. if we can put back up on the screen, only two of them are

new. then the fourth one stopping unspecified terrorist activity after 9/11. listen to a little bit more. that's the new one. again, unspecified is the key. listen to what the deputy said about that plot. >> lastly, the fbi had opened an investigation shortly after 9/11. we did not have enough information so we shortly closed the investigation. the nsa using the business record tipped us off that this individual had indirect contacts with a known terrorist overseas. we were able to reopen this investigation, identify additional individual s through the legal process and were able to disrupt this terrorist activity. >> we later learned through sources that what they are talking about was disrupting an attempt to give money, to send

money to a terrorist organization that works out of somalia. that would be the beginning of a plot and this is really the only new example they gave us of times that they have used the phone records program, which is what americans are most concerned about. they're going to have to do a little more, maybe a lot more to reassure the public but when they may feel pretty good about is better explaining that people civil liberties really have a lot of safeguards with regard to having to get court orders and regard to not having records kept of their phone and not the content but they are going to have to keep doing more of that. >> what do they say about edward snowden, the leaker. he revealed these programs. how do they explain how that happened? >> the explanation doesn't seem to be satisfying members of congress who are furious and so are members of this panel. they say he has done irrevocable

damage to the u.s. security and safety and they say that much of what he is saying isn't true. claiming you can just as someone like him who is a contractor who is in hawaii can just read the personal e-mails of the president, it's just not possible. the one interesting question that was asked of the nsa director, what do you see going forward for snowden, and he said justice bp the probable is you can't bring him to justice if you can't find him. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. i want to talk about this plot of bombing the new york stock exchange. hadn't heard that before. surely people are reacting. >> they're reacting but not really surprised. they're not spooked by it. this building is treated like a target every day. this is an iconic symbol of

american capitolism and there are layers of security. you have to go through a metal detector. you can't drive your car through here unless you go through a few check points. it's not the first time there's been a threat here. the uk man was sentenced to life in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty after planning to attack several targets including the nyse and the buildings around here. traders are used to it. i talked to a couple earlier. >> it's probably always in the back of our minds. we do feel that this is a target. i don't think there's any question about it. it's a center piece of american capitalism, so sure it would be a target. i don't think anyone feels really threatened by terrorists on this floor. >> this is a very secure place. there's a lot of very hard

working people that are making sure we're all safe and go about our jobs every day. >> i come here just about every single day and i can tell when security is stepped up. sometimes i see more police officers and more dogs than on another day. it doesn't necessarily mean there's a threat but it's interesting to see how quickly the security around this building can change and there are thousand people who come here to work every day. it really is what many traders call and what i feel like is a fortre fortress. >> thank you. all of this part of an effort by the obama administration to try to quiet the uproar over these surveillance programs. i want to know how much did this help. how epf fhelpful was it for him

>> baby steps. a little bit helpful. what we saw were officials who clearly felt constrained about what they could tell the american public. we learned as you pointed out earlier, we learned about a couple now plots that with thwarted. we learned there were over 50 cases they're going to talk about behind closed doors. 90% of those may have been overseas cases, ten domestic. we don't know much more than that. i think much of the hearing this morning was really spent talking about the safeguards that the justice department, the fbi, the national security agency put on this collection of data so that the american people sort of understand that it's numbers without an identity, without a location, without any content

and then they have to go back to a court much like a grand jury to try and get more information. i think it was just baby steps because they feel constrained about what they can tell us. they'd like this to go away but it's not going to go away. >> no. the president does seem like he's answering the questions that are posed to him. he talked a lot about the privacy concerns. he was pushed on this. i want you to listen to that. >> i stood up the privacy and liberties oversight board. i'll be meeting with them. i want to set up and structure a national conversation. >> what do we think that national conversation will look like. how will the administration be able to get out ahead of this issue. >> he had to lead the national

conversation. giving a bunch of interviews is great. i think he has to forcefully explain his point of view. question really don't know why. he will forcefully defend what he's done needs to make the case and lay it out to the american people. we've heard from the director of national intelligence and people at the national security agency. they are work for one person. >> thank you. all about the need to give some more details on this. we're also getting a look never

before seen video. this is of the 2008 bombing of a u.s. armed forces recruiting station in time square. the fbi and new york place just released this video. i want to bring in mary snow who is liking at this. what do we know? >> when it comes to the suspect we really don't know much. that's why the fbi is making this push asking the publish for help. it went back to gather any images from surveillance cameras in time square that it could find that may yields new clues. the bombings took place in 2008 outside a u.s. military recruiting station and there were no injuries. the fbi says the same suspect may be linked to two similar incidents. one blast at the british c consulate in 2005. the person who detonated the explosives was riding a bicycle.

the devices used were similar. they were all made with military grade ammunition cans. a federal law enforcement source stez bomb in time square was actually stronger than the device detonated during the boston marathon in terms of destructiv capability, but unlike boston it contain eed no shrapnel. authorities recovered the bicycle but wouldn't comment on whether it was able to obtain any information from that. >> i'm sure people will be watching that video closely. thanks. preerpt appreciate it. the search for jimmy hoffa continues. police now still continue to dig for his body. the morning team on a sports radio show pokes fun at a former

[ male announcer ] now get 50% off brake pads and shoes at meineke. . the fbi back at work trying to solve one of america's longest unsoevered mysteries. what happened to jimmy hoffa? the fbi is digging a second day in a field. they are working from a tip from an 85-year-old reputed mobster who says that hoffa was killed and buried there back in 1975. why do we think this is any different from any other tip? >> reporter: let's give you quick update. over my shoulder is where jimmy

hoffa is allegedly buried. they have been using shovels to try to dig up some of the spot where this happened. they have found among other things a couple of huge concrete slabs but those may be the foundation of a barn that used to be on the property along with a house many years ago. it's unclear whether those are foundation or something more. the reason i'm saying something more is because a tipster is telling the fbi that jimmy hoffa may have been buried beneath that concrete slab. we understand his credibility is something the fbi is relying on because he knew a lot of people way back in the day. his father was part of the mob. he was an important figure in the mob too and they all knew important people. this is how his attorney sums up his credibility.

>> the difference between thp and the last digging is this a man with credibility. this is a man that would be in the know. this is not some random guy who said i think he's buried there. this is a person that was intimately involved with some of the players and in the know where the body would be placed. >> what prompted him now? >> he's dealt with for a long time and wanted to share where it was. >> reporter: hi also said he needed the money. he said i need money and i wanted to write a book about this. online he's posted some information, part of an online manuscript. we're going to read a couple of excerpts. he said talking about what other people have told him about what happened quote, they picked up a shovel and cracked hoffa over

the head. then he said hit him a few more times and he started to moan. they threw him in the hole and buried him alive. that was it e end of story. he went onto say he was covered with a concrete slab. that's where the concrete slab may play an important role. >> wow. okay. we're going to be following that closely. let us know if you get anything out of that search. violent deaths down in chicago but dozens of people were shot in that city last weekend. still to come, we're going to talk to the city's mayor to get you to the root of the heart of the problem. and 100% real cheddar cheese. but what makes stouffer's mac n' cheese best of all. that moment you enjoy it at home. stouffer's. made with care for you or your family.

in california, a fierce fire burning near an entrance. it's now forced almost 2,000 people from their homes. >> wow. oh, my god. >> this is an eye reporter says he's not ready to leave home yet. firefighters have been able to contain only about the 15% of the fire. you're hearing his voice there.

no homes have been destroyed at this point. california has had a particular bad fire season this year blamed on two years of low rainfall, high winds and lightning strikes. today we're learning more about what the mayor of chicago has so say about the violence that's plaguing his city. overall crime is down. this past weekend seven people were shot to death. i spoke with pastor corey brooks. here is what he said. >> i know the numbers are down and the police are doing everything they can but when you live in chicago at any time in these areas where there are a lot of young people who have a lot of guns and anger and hostility, any time gun violence can jump off. it was a tough weekend. these are the type of weekends that we're going to be experiencing over an over if we don't get our hands on the problem. >> that was a leading member of

the clergy. i want to bring in ted rowlands. he said he believes there's going be more violence. how does the mayor explain what is happening in the city? >> the mayor and other people think the opposite is true and that this is not -- this was an anomaly that seven people were killed. the murder rate is the lowest it's been since 1963. overall crime down 14%. they believe that the things they put into place, the procedures over the last year and a half, two years are now working. they are optimistic that this was an anomaly and hoping crime will stay down. >> while our homicides were up last year, our crime went down. shootings are down 30% across

the city. i think you have to do certain things so it's not a blip and not just a window of time but it's ingrained. i think we're doing the right things to do that. i think it's way too soon for anybody to say it's a success or a blip. >> there are more cops on the street. they are implementing higher curfews, stringent curfews. they're confident that what they have done that this is going to change things forever. that's they're hope but as you heard the mayor say it's too close to call and a weekend like last weekend just make people shudder thinking are we going back. we'll have to see. >> the pastor was saying it's an anomaly that happened but how does the mayor explain that that

it couldn't happen again. why does he believe that was able to occur with all these programs in place? >> he is not saying this is a done deal by any stretch of the imagination saying they are declaring victory. they realize this is a long road. the worst years were back in the '90s during the crack wars. they really do think that what they put in place is working and the numbers do show it so far this year. they are hoping that this is going be the trend but we won't know for a year or two, at least to see if this is a long trend. s >> we're talking numbers and talking about people's lives and families impacted. thank you so much. appreciate it. we'll keep our eye on that situation. violence really diminishing the

could have prevented the nelneld 9/11 attack. can you explain how the attack could have been prevented? >> i don't know if it could have been prevented. it was a tool not available to us at the time. when this t call was made bewindbwe did not have the tool or capability. things may have been different and we will never know that. >> the information about foiled plots not enough to satisfy lawmakers. michel michele bachmann complaicomplai.

what do they have to say? >> reporter: we're hearing from these major internet companies. yahoo is saying they received 12 to 13,000 requests for data in the last six months. we're beginning to wrap our head around what are these requests for. let me read you some of the most common questions. number one is fraud. they're looking for that kind of information. homicides, kidnappings and also other criminal investigations. what i think we should keep in mind here is how large are these data questions. one could be for sweeping information. a lot of this is used for law enforcement. sheriffs used this to find

missing children. >> the leaker, edward snowden, what did he say about what they aring looing for? >> reporter: he emerged a little bit. he said as a result of these disclosures we're beginning to see more transparency and better details about these programs. he did kien of go on on the say they have an ethical obligation but we should make it a point to say a lot of these internet companies are pushing for more transparency. they want to differentiate. we will only likely hear from more of these internet companies involved. >> we will. thank you. appreciate it. a former hitman back on the stand testifying against james
