funding over the department of homeland security here in the united states and lots hang in the balance right now. the u.s. house of representatives was expected to vote on a bill that would at least continue funding the agency for a few weeks. that's the agency that keeps americans safe. the bill would extend funding for only three weeks. just a few moments ago, the house went into recess without doing anything, at least so far. meanwhile, the u.s. senate passed its own bill just a couple of hours ago. it keeps funding for the department open keeps funding going until the end of the current fiscal year. that means through the end of september. our congressional correspondent, athena jones, is up on capitol hill. athena it's complicated but lots at stake right now as far as homeland security funding is concerned. where do things stand? >> reporter: hi, wolf. that's right. right now, the house is in recess. this happened just a few minutes ago. they were supposed to have already voted on this three-week continuing resolution funding the department of homeland security. that hasn't happened. when the house recesses like this past experience shows us

that means that the republican leadership is having a hard time getting the votes they need. here's what's going on. you have moderate house republicans, people like new york representative peter king pennsylvania representative charlie dent and others who want to go ahead and pass the bill that the senate just passed a few hours ago, that clean funding bill that would fund the department of houmzmeland security for the rest of the year. you have conservatives in the house who say the whole plan we worked out last night in our meeting was that we would pass this three-week funding bill and then we would vote to conference, to bring our bill, the house bill that includes restrictions on immigration moves by the president and we'll conference that with the senate bill that doesn't have those measures and try to reach a compromise. some house conservatives say, we're not going to vote on this three-week extension. it's a bit of a mess right now. we're going to be watching closely to see what happens over there.

a house gop leadership aide told my colleague, deirdre walsh, who's over there off the house floor not to expect a long recess. but the bottom line democrats have said they only want to vote on a bill to fund homeland security for the entire fiscal year so they're relying now on republican votes to pass this and it's not just clear that speaker boehner has those votes. >> it's a tough situation all around. just under 11 hours to go. you see the countdown clock there on the screen before funding for the department of homeland security border control, immigration control, airport security so much is at stake right now, just 11 hours till money starts running out. athena stand by. i want to get more on what's going on. joining us our chief political analyst, gloria borger and cnn political commentator, kevin madden. gloria the house speaker has a major decision to make. will he accept what the senate has already passed do something differently, is he going to punt

for three weeks? a lot is going on right now. the american public is pretty frustrated. >> if you take a step back for a minute wolf this is about the president's plan, his executive order on immigration. republicans don't want to fund that. and so this is their way of saying, look we don't want to fund immigration, therefore we're not going to fund dhs. they're kind of related. what the leader in the senate is trying to do is decouple them so you can vote on one and not vote on the other. and john boehner has his hands full as he always does, with his republicans. some of whom are balking. and the democrats are sort of sitting back saying okay you want a three-week extension, we think it's a dumb idea just fund the department they're saying you have to pass it with republicans votes, we're not helping you out. so by the way, everyone ends up looking dumb. >> mitch mcconnell agreed to decouple these two sensitive

issues and allow a funding bill to go forward that keeps the department operating full strength at least until the end of the current fiscal year. but speaker boehner hasn't agreed to that. >> the senate's only one part of the equation. when john boehner went into this fight had two priorities to make sure the government didn't shut down, to make sure the government was funded including dhs. the second was to make sure that republican priorities and by fiat priorities of the american people concerning immigration, that that was in consideration. the key is whether or not we're going to see this go to conference, whether or not that would be the next step. that's i think what john boehner is going to insist upon. this is how the government works. if you have differences between the senate and the house, you work them out in a conference. and if they can do that while they have this other three-week reprieve on a c.r. that's the best way to do that and that's

consistent with john boehner's -- >> the democratic leader in the house has told the leaders in the house, don't vote for a three-week extension, force them to do what the senate has done. >> but she believes it should not be a part of the funding of the department of homeland security she's saying immigration is not on the table. why would we put it on the table? >> and let's remember that john boehner, his strategy is not out of step with where the american people are. they've made it clear they disagree with the way the president went about his executive actions on immigration. the president himself said 22 times that he didn't have the power to do what he did. >> but that presidential action is on hold anyhow because a federal judge in texas -- >> and it's not like they are going against some judicial decree. the judicial action that has taken place on this has been consistent with the republicans -- >> why not let the judicial process work its way out and fund the department of homeland security? >> i think that's where the three-week reprieve comes and the same effort to try and work

out some of these differences in a conference. >> let me say one other thing. they all look silly. that's baseline. >> to your point, washington loses here. i know we always try to figure the republicans are losers -- washington is an institution. the american people get very frustrated with it. >> cnn earlier this month asked the question who's more responsible if the department of homeland security shuts down? if you look at the poll numbers 5 53% would blame the republicans 30% president obama. i know you're going to tell me that it didn't hurt them when the government got shut down the senate the midterm elections. people understand there are lots of national securities issues out there they have to worry about -- >> to show you intellectually honesty here you have a bigger price to bear when you're in the

majority. but when we were up there a year and a half ago, we said washington would pay the price. people would look at washington and say, they can't get things done. >> people are -- >> everybody gets caught in on it. >> if the department of homeland security partially shuts down at midnight tonight, when the money runs out, people are going to be angry at washington and frustrated and say, why can't these people operate in a realistic manner? >> i had one democrat -- a senior democrat say to me yesterday that this democrat does not believe that the republicans would allow the department of homeland security not to be funded when bibi netanyahu was coming to address the country. >> i think from every source i've talked to up on capitol hill they feel confident they're going to get there this. that's why there in there, trying to make sure they have the votes when they move to the dmroor floor. >> kevin madden gloria borger, guys, thanks very much.

we'll go back to the hill and see what's happening up there. they're in recess right now in the house of representatives. there's lots at stake. much more right after this. there's nothing more romantic than a spontaneous moment. so why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms

a big part of the fight to protect the u.s. homeland is focused squarely on isis. the attorney general of the united states eric holder insists the united states is committed to bringing those terrorists to justice, including the isis fighter known as jihadi john the man seen in several of the terror groups beheading videos has now been identified as mohammed emwazi a kuwaiti-born, college-educated london man. here's what eric holder told cnn's pamela brown.

>> we have shown that it doesn't matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter where you are, we'll find you, we'll hunt you down and we will hold you accountable. >> in a war zone like syria, can you really do that? >> whether it's through the use of our military through the use of our law enforcement capacity if you harm americans, it is the sworn duty of every person in the executive branch to find you and hold you accountable. >> an intensive search is under way right now for at least four canadian teenagers who may have flown to the middle east to join isis. canadian authorities are also investigating more young people who could have followed a similar path. and there's been a new arrest in the deadly shootings that terrorized copenhagen denmark, earlier this month. a young man has been charged with helping the suspected gunman. two people were killed when the shooter opened fire on a free speech forum. once again, a few hours later, outside o synagogue in copenhagen. the gunman was later shot and

killed by local police. lots to discuss. let's bring in your law enforcement analyst, tom fuentes, and joining us from college, our cnn security and intelligence analyst bob baer. let's talk about the hunt the hunt for jihadi john as he's called. we're learning a lot more about this guy. he doesn't necessarily fit the pattern of someone who was isolated, poor, didn't have a job. he was pretty sophisticated, highly educated came from a relatively upper middle class background. >> i agree, wolf. i think too much has been said by the administration and many people trying to create a profile of only the down-and-out only the people that can't get jobs or are uneducated join isis or join the extremist terrorists around the world. we've seen example after example of well-educated people joining who really believe that's the fundamental true religion that they're signing up for. now, granted, many of them are

garden variety psychopaths on top of that and enjoy the killing they're doing. but there's a basis for that thinking as hole. we cannen pigeonhole the people who join isis as just the downtrodden. >> a lot of soul searching in the uk over whether or not they made a major blunder in letting this guy get out of the country. he he apparently had been watched for a long time by surveillance. and now all of a sudden he's slowing up beheading individuals on tape. >> exactly. as tom said we can't profile these people. and right now, we're not even sure how he was recruited. was it on the internet? was it related to the 2005 tube bombings? why did he choose to pick the somali conflict? why in his mind was that a great act of injustice and how it goes from the islamic state -- so much we don't know. what's interesting for me is the british didn't do a full

investigation from the beginning once they had identified him from voice analysis. they didn't go to neighbors, didn't look into this. they had other operational considerations which i understand. but only now are the details coming out. once we start talking to the families and friends will we understand how this conversion happen. but, again, i go back to -- tom and i have talked about this before. you can't blame the british for not arresting him. he hadn't committed a crime. and by the time he got away it was too late for them to do anything. >> was there a misstep, you believe, based on what we know right now by british intelligence or law enforcement, the security personnel? >> no i don't think so. when i was running international operations we worked closely with mi5. i remember ten years ago when the bombings happened in the underground and on the bus in london the head of mi5 said then we can't follow everybody, we don't have the resources. and now you have probably as many as 20 times as needed to follow.

and they haven't had the significant increase in resources to do it. this will happen over and over. it can happen in our country or canada or anywhere in europe. it will continue. >> and eric holder saying they're looking for this guy, they want to bring jihadi john to justice. other important news we're following, including this -- he was the stuff of science fiction legend. sad news to report from los angeles, the actor leonard nimoy has died "the los angeles times" and "the new york times" confirmed the death by speaking with his family. he will be remembered around the world as spock, the half human, half vulcan character he portray portrayed on "star trek." he was 83 years old. up next, we'll speak with one of his friends, george takei. you may know him as mr. sulu.

let's get more on the sad news we just reported. the death of the actor leonard nimoy. better known of course as spock to all of the "star trek" fans out there. let's talk a little bit about leonard nimoy and his legacy. joining us on the phone right now is his fellow "star trek" actor, george takei. george, a sad moment. give us your thoughts what will he most be remembered for? >> leonard was a real leader.

first of all, certainly he was a brilliant actor. but he also believed in working collaboratively. and when discussing a scene, he had a remarkable talent for analyzing the scene very quickly, in terms of its point, its drive. but he was also able to guide other actors. he was really a company actor. he was also talented in so many ways. he directed three "star trek" films. and we enjoyed working with him as a director most because he knew the members of the cast he was able to talk in shorthand, granted, some directors want to get into a deep and profound and gabby discussion about a scene or a character. leonard was also a very dear friend. one extraordinary thing about

him i remember when "star trek" was going to be done as an animated series they cast leonard, bill shatner, major barrett and jimmy only for the voice acting on that. and when he discovered that michelle nichols and walter koenig and i were not cast because of budgetary considerations he said if the two people who represent diversity the most michelle and george are not a part, i'm not interested in doing it. i will not do it without the point of "star trek," which was diversity. that was an extraordinary thing for an actor to give up a gig for other -- on behalf of other

actors. and because leonard was so necessary for the project, they cast michelle and me. and offered walter an opportunity to write a script. he was really an amazing man. and a lovable man, a very thoughtful man, he was very supportive of my career personal ly ly. leonard did "equs" on broadway and when i did that out in los angeles, he came backstage. and i said leonard, how did i do? he said smilingly and obviously jokingly he said, you were better. two years ago when i did a musical on the stage in san

diego, he drove all the way down to see it and give me a good luck hug. >> so you guys were friendly for 50 years, is that right? >> just about, yes. "star trek" will be 50 years old next year. and i knew leonard just the year before that. so yes, it's just been about 50 years that i've known him. >> george takei, thank you so much for sharing a few thoughts sad news leonard nimoy unfortunately passed away at the age of 83. he will be missed. what an amazing career, what an amazing man. george, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you very much. out to other news right now, in about 15 minutes, jeb bush the former florida governor takes the stage at the conservative political action conference that's being held right now just outside washington, d.c. it's a huge gathering of

republican activists, officials, poirpt leaders, who want to hear from all the potential presidential hopefuls out there. today's speech could be especially important for the former florida governor. let's discuss what's going on. gloria borger is here and joining us from the cpac conference our national political reporter, peter hanby. this is the first time we'll be seeing jeb bush in front of a very major activist base of his party. what's the tone you expect him to strike, peter? >> reporter: well, jeb bush advisers have told me that he plans to benefit from low expectations here. people in this crowd think jeb bush is a moderate. that he's an establishment guy who's not a conservative. but bush i'm told is going to lean into issues from his time as florida governor like taxes and spending, like abortion, like guns. he's going to talk about all those things and try to connect with the crowd here.

this event is interesting for two different reasons. one, this is his first time confronting the conservative base head-on. but secondly all the events he's done to date have really been in sort of a controlled environment with screened questions. this has the potential to be a little volatile a little different, definitely unscripted. so it's going to be real interesting to watch. >> gloria how important is this speech for jeb bush and his ambition to become the next president of the united states? >> i think he is just going to try and escape unscathed. he's under no illusions that this audience loves him. this is is more libertarian kind of audience than would naturally love him. i think he's going to try and tout as peter was just saying his conservative credentials. there's a danger for him. if you recall mitt romney spoke before this group when he was running for president and called himself severely conservative. we remember that. and i don't think jeb bush can make that mistake because then

he loses some authenticity about who he is. so yes, i'm conservative i should be at least bottom line acceptable to you. but nobody who works for jeb bush expects him to get a standing ovation. >> forget about a standing ovation. peter, you're there. there was some suggestion there might be people walking out in protest. have you heard that? >> reporter: there are whispers about that here that some people are coming into the event just to sort of stage a walk-out. but the other thing happening, interesting, jeb bush supporters are bussing in people from "k" street, from georgetown from washington, d.c. to sort of stack the audience as well. this is all theater, as gloria points out. this isn't necessarily going to be make-or-break for bush's campaign. but he's road testing a conservative message in front of a conservative audience.

and he'll have to do that over and over again in iowa, new hampshire, d.c., wherever. he's got to learn how to talk to a modern conservative audience. remember he hasn't been in office since 2002. the republican party has changed a lot since then. the media environment has changed a lot. people are a little more combative now. so this is jeb's chance to become accustomed to that environment. >> there's another potential presidential hopeful, the wisconsin governor, scott walker. he's also been over at the cpac event. he got himself into some hot water with comments he made about president obama's strategy against isis. >> i want a commander in chief who will do everything in their power to ensure that the threat from radical islamic terrorists do not wash up on american soil we'll have someone who leads and ultimately will send a message not only that we will protect american soil but do not take this upon freedom-loving people anywhere else in the world. we need a leader with that kind

of confidence. if i can take on 100,000 protest ez, i ez ers, i can take on this fight. >> he later backtracked his comments. >> you all misconstrue things the way you see fit. that's the closest things i have in terms of handling a difficult situation, not that there's any parallel between the two. >> that's just the latest apparent misstep that's raised some political eyebrows. he was disownedcriticized when he didn't disown rudy guiliani. and later he said he didn't know whether obama was even a christian. and earlier in london he got into some political hot water when he said politicians shouldn't have to weigh in on various issues. he punted for example, when he was asked what his thoughts were on evolution. once again, later having to clarify that saying he does

believe that faith and science are compatible. gloria is he ready for primetime as a lot of the political junkyekies like to say? >> he's a newbie. sometimes it takes a couple of times to get it right. i don't think any of this hurts him with his base in that room at cpac yesterday. he was loudly applauded. people believe that he's kind of a crossover candidate who can appeal to the right wing of the party as well as the more moderates in the party and that he's socially conservative enough and has an economic reform message. so, yes, these are mistakes. he's new. you don't want to be clarifying your remarks all the time as he's been doing in the last week or two. but, again, with republicans who are voting in the primaries, this is not a problem. >> but he's pretty popular still out there with that base, peter, the base that's at this event, right? >> reporter: absolutely. and walker was again here this

morning sort of working the hallways. he did some conservative radio interviews. in the halls he had sort of a coffee meeting with activists. and the crowds were big, they followed him everywhere. that rhetoric controversial or not, outside of this building works here. but i would say it's okay for walker to make some mistakes now as he learns to enter this national campaign environment. you'd rather make those mistakes now than later. he's got to learn about the issues. he's got to learn as successful as he's been in wisconsin, he's got to learn about the national media. yesterday for example, walker was asked his thoughts on the neutrality decision he didn't have any thoughts on that and deflected to saying he supports freedom and then kind of moved on. so he's sort of using this moment this pre-campaign moment to figure himself out. and maybe it's better to get these mistakes out of the way early than say, in november

december right before the iowa caucuses. >> we'll see how jeb bush does in his speech, that's coming up. guys thanks. still ahead, a trip already straining u.s./israeli relations. benjamin netanyahu is getting ready to address a joint meeting of the u.s. congress. his item on the agenda the nuclear negotiations with iran right now. has his relationship though his personal relationship with president obama hit a new low? we'll discuss when we come back.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. some have called it brazen. others have said it's destructive, a dangerous gamble. some have said it's brave. we're talking about the diplomatic storm ahead of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's controversial visit to the u.s. capital. netanyahu will be speaking before a joint meeting of the u.s. congress tuesday morning at. at the substance of his remarks will be iran's nuclear ambitions. he's expected to severely criticize the white house, his effort to negotiate a deal it's put him as very serious odds with president obama and his entire administration. the prime minister will also monday morning address apec, the pro-israel lobbying group up on capitol hill. joining us aaron david miller

former middle east negotiator, now with the woodrow international center here in washington and david albright president of the institute for science also in washington. they'll have to at some point repair this relationship this damage that's going to be -- that's already been caused between the u.s. and israel between netanyahu and the obama administration. let's look ahead, aaron. what do they need to do immediately after this speech tuesday morning? >> i think the speech is only a midpoint in the current crisis, atmosphere that's affecting both sides. the crisis point will come wolf in effect if there is an agreement between the u.s. iran and the p5 plus 1. >> to be done by the end of march? >> yes, maybe by july 1 in terms of dotting all the is -- >> but you're saying assuming netanyahu is reelected the prime

minister of israel it could get a whole lot worse? >> the personal relationship between the two -- there's no reset there. it's going to require the departure of one or both to reset the broader frame of the relationship. but the relationship itself will cover from this because as i mentioned earlier, unlike lemhman brothers which one really is too big to fail. israel despite the inperfections in their own policies is an ally of the united states. >> at the substance, david, you're an expert on those iran nuclear negotiations under way right now, how far apart would you say the obama administration's position is on what iran needs to do as opposed to the israeli position as advanced by the prime minister? >> it's hard to tell. the u.s. and iran are keeping this very secret -- >> based on what we know publicly? >> they're getting closer, no

doubt about. >> who's getting closer -- the permanent members of the u.n. security council are getting closer to a deal with iran? so the question is how far apart is this deal that's in the works from the israeli perspective? how angry do you believe the israelis will be about this deal? >> i think there are key parts of the deal that haven't been settled. some of those, like how much verification will be done will iran settle with the international inspectors over did they work on nuclear weapons in the past will they let the inspectors go places and get to the bottom of things? those are key israeli concerns and they're not resolved. there are critical issues that affect israel that remain to be settled. part of how i view what prime minister netanyahu is doing is to try to put pressure on the u.s. for a better deal. there's all kinds of problems that could be raised about him

coming here. but on a substantive level, i think he wants a better deal. now, on the zero centrifuge versus some amount of centrifuge i think the train's left the station. if you have zero centrifuge in iran you're not limiting their capability of making them. instead of a year breakout time maybe you'll have two, three-year breakout time. so it's really a difference in degree not a qualitative change in what's going on. >> why would the israels allow the u.s. the other members of the security council and germany, to see if they could come up with a deal and at that point they could either like it or not like it? >> i think in the end, that's going to be the case. nothing the prime minister can do here next week is going to fundamentally affect in one way or another the substance of this agreement. it will be determined whether or not iran and the u.s. can find a balance of interest on their core needs and requirements. even if there is a deal, i'm not sure there's a whole lot the israelis are going to be able to

do. if they did act, it would be in defiance of both the united states and the international community. they're really in a tough spot. we can accommodate ourselves, we in washington through the uncertainties and risks inherent in any agreement. and david has laid them out. the israelis have a smaller margin for error, full stop. and i think no agreement, you are going to face the problem what to do about iran if they accelerate their program. with an agreement, you still are going to see going to set the stage -- >> you think there will be an agreement? >> i don't know. some important issues haven't been settled. we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. >> they only have a few weeks. >> technically they have until the end of july. everyone says no extension. but if they've made substantive progress -- and this round, they appear to be making much better progress than the two previous rounds where very little was accomplished. and iran does seem to understand now the kind of concessions it

has to make. that's an advancement. do they want sanctions relief enough to get those? we'll see. but i think it would be a mistake to just arbitrarily cut off -- >> in other words, there's supposed to be -- the framework is supposed to be announced by the end of march but they could do the crossing of the ts and dotting the is by the end of july -- >> or maybe the end of august. i would say to leave room for that. >> we'll see what netanyahu has to say tuesday morning when he addresses congress. guys, thanks very much. no doubt there's a serious, serious strain in u.s./israeli relations right now. coming up a tough warning to isis from jordan's king abdullah. he's speaking out in an exclusive interview with cnn's own fareed zakaria. what the king is now saying about the terror group's killing of a jordanian pilot. want to live by the lake, right? yeah. there's here. ♪♪

turning now to the war against isis. jordan's king abdullah has vowed to fight back hard against isis after the terror group brutally killed a jordanian pilot, posted a gruesome video showing him being burned alive in a cage. king abdullah sat down in amman with our own fareed zakaria for an exclusive interview. here's part of what he had to say. >> reporter: this is the first time you're speaking to the world since the death of the jordanian pilot and that brutal video. tell us what was your reaction when you first saw the video? >> well in actual fact, i didn't see the video. and many of us refuse to see what i think is propaganda. obviously i had a detailed brief of what happened. we couldn't escape seeing

obviously pictures of the newspapers. disgust, sadness to the family. i had met the family on many occasions. my heart went out to the father the mother the brothers and sisters, his wife. they'd only been married for five months. anger as a son of the arab army, the arab forces mu'ath god bless his soul, is a brother in arms. so i think all jordanian soldiers past and present were anger and disgusted by the brutality of what mu'ath was put through. and i think if isis or daesh as we call them try to intimidate jordanians i think it just had the reverse effect. if you look at our history, we're a country that's used to being outgunned and outnumbered. and we've always punched way above our weight. and i think if anything daesh has now gotten a tiger by the

tail. it motivated jordans to rally around the flag and the gloves have come off. >> fareed is joining us from new york. fareed the king seems very determined obviously, to fight isis and for good reason. what are some of the key points you got from him during this exclusive interview? it was a fascinating conversation wolf. i asked him what he thought of this controversy here as to what we should call groups like isis and should we call them islamic or should be do what president obama is doing? he very much endorsed president obama's approach that he didn't think that we should confer on them the mantel of islam because they're what he calls outlaws or renegades of islam. he talked very much about how this was an arab fight. he said it's our fight. we have to do it. we want your help. we want the international

community's support. he's very grateful i think for american troops and air strikes being involved but he didn't seem to want american troops on the ground. he wanted to fight this as an arab fight. he's working very hard to make that happen. the day before i saw him, he was in saudi arabia. an hour after i saw him, he went to egypt. he's trying to rally an arab coalition, arab troops and a kind of ideological war. he's trying to get people to describe them as i said as outlaws and renegades. he's trying to get various preachers and imams involved as well as governments. there's a lot of fight in him. he's a military man. he understands exactly how to do it in military term but he really did say several time this is our fight, this is a fight within islam. you can help the outside world can help we want your help but we have to fight. >> we're looking forward to the full interview, fareed. our viewers here in north

america, you can see fareed's full interview with king abdullah here on cnn. tune in at 7:00 p.m. eastern or 3:00 p.m. eastern on sunday to catch the full interview. activists in bangladesh are protesting a horrific murder. an american blogger targeted and attacked for promoting secular freedom.

now to bangladesh and a brutal attack. an american blogger was killed and his wife seriously injured as they walked through the streets of the capital dhaka thursday night. he was allegedly targeted because he spoke out against religious extremism. our new deli bureau chief is joining us now live. tell us what we know. what happened here? >> wolf what we know is that on thursday night, this person avijit roy, he'd been condemning secular extremism for a while. he was at a book fair in dhaka, and he was going home from the book fair with his wife when he was attacked. we're still piecing together what happened. but it seems like there were a group of men who attacked them both with machetes. we have this sound from an eyewitness.

listen in. >> translator: i saw ab unknown person bring out a big knife and first hit him from behind on his head and then on his shoulders. i shouted for help from the people but nobody came to save him. no one came. a lady was with him. she was his wife. she was also hit on the shoulder. >> reporter: so wolf, as you heard there, you know roy was killed in that attack. his wife however, did survive. we've been in touch with the police in bangladesh. she's seriously wounded. they think she's going to pull through, when she does they think she'll be able to identify the suspects. one year ago when roy launched his book called "the virus of faith," he started receiving death threats primarily because of his writing. one of the people posted on facebook saying that avijit roy lives in america and so it is not possible to kill him right now, but he will be murdered

when he comes back. it looks like that's what happened. >> he lived just outside of atlanta. george what a horrible story that is ravi. thanks. boko haram is believed to have carried out two bombings in nigeria that killed 35 people. groups from chad are moving in to dpeet the militant group. arwa damon was invited to join chad's military as it chases down boko haram. >> reporter: the weather conditions have reduced visibility forcing these helicopters to fly quite low. we'll be passing over camera roone as we head to one of chad's front lines with boko haram in nigeria. we're in one of the region's most feared military forces and also apparently one of the most effective. some say heavy handed. after coming under attack by boko haram and neighboring cam

maroon this chadian unit gave chase following the militants right across the border into northern nigeria. we were invited along with the chadian top brass. the convoy to front is massive, heavily armed, packed with jub ilant troops. this is one of boko haram's positions. that's what the soldiers were just yelling as we were driving by. chad's well equipped and battle hardened army joined the fight in february helping nigeria reclaim a chunk of territory. we pass through the abandoned town. it was firmly under boko haram's control until the chadians arrived just a few weeks ago. the area we're heading to soldier was saying, on tuesday is where they were attacked. we see a handful of women as the convoy speeds past. the remains of motorcycles often used by boko haram.

we can't see what the chadians are shooting at. then the distinct hissing of bullets close by. our vehicle moves forward, past a body they tell us is that of the boko haram militant who had been shooting at our convoy. we don't see a weapon. soldiers say they grabbed it. chad claims to have killed 200 boko haram militants here this past week. we see about half a dozen bodies left to rot. the chadian soldiers find a child. they want him to tell them where the boko haram fighters have fled to. perhaps 7 or 8 years old, he seems terrified and confused. the soldiers view any survivors here with suspicion. arwa damon, cnn, nigeria.
