good evening. i'm erin burnett. the u.s. military says a top secret american drone is missing. this is the same type of drone used in the fight against isis and syrian forces tonight claim they shot down the drone near the port of latkai. what do we know about this incident? obviously, significant if the u.s. drone has been shot down. >> good evening. right now the pentagon is not saying very much other than the military did lose contact with the predator drone. they do not know at this point. they cannot corroborate the syrian reports that it was shot down. there are some pictures emerging on syrian state tv showing something on the ground. nothing identifiable at this point. where the syrians are saying it won't down, very interesting.

this on the mediterranean coast. this is a port the russians often pull into. they load weapon supplies and other gear. could this drone have been overhead keeping an eye on what the russians might have been doing in that port or was there another target it was skeeping surveillance on? there's been air strikes in aleppo. a lot of activity in the region but nobody confirming how the drone went down or what the target was that it was trying to keep surveillance on. >> pretty interesting as you say what could have been going on and why the drone have been there. we're following that story and following breaking news where disturbing details are emerging tonight about an air force veteran in custody accused of trying to join isis. according to federal prosecutors

in an affidavit i have here this new jersey man was arrested after traveling to turkey trying to enter syria. he's a mechanic who worked on airplanes belonging to the military as well as a major american airlines american airlines. investigators say they have uncovered several troubling photographs on his cell phone that include sensitive areas on planes commercial planes. pamela brown begins our coverage. >> reporter: a u.s. air force veteran from new jersey stopped in turkey for allegedly trying to join isis in syria according to just unsealed court documents. 47-year-old tyrod flew from egypt to turkey to enter on january 10th. officials stopped him at the airport. he served four years as an air force mechanic was carrying an ipod four usb drives and an iphone. there was evidence of repeated internet searches for information on borders controlled by islamic state and

a chart of crossing points. he was denied entry when he refused to allow officials to search his electronics. he worked on airplane maintenance for years in the air force from 1986 to 1990. he received training in the installation of aircraft engines and weapons systems. he worked as an airplane mechanic for american airlines. >> his experience in the private aviation sector disturbs me the most because he would have had access to private american and european made aircraft that he could have learned the security weak points on those aircraft and stash weapons and bombs. >> reporter: he landed on the fbi's radar more than a decade ago when an american airlines employee tipped off the agency he was sympathizing with bin laden. he converted to islam and become more radical during that time.

according to law enforcement officials i've been speaking with this case and the u.s. military a veteran alleging wanting to link up with isis. officials are saying the big concern is he could have shared some of his expertise from being in the military and being an aviation mechanic with groups like isis overseas. his attorney says he plans to plead not guilty when he appears before a judge tomorrow in new york. >> thank you. you're sitting we many so let me ask you about something pamela is reporting on. we see in the affidavit they found on his samsung cell phone pictures of the area under seat backs and bathrooms, airplane bathrooms. very strange pictures to have and you think very significant. >> very very warning. it raises all sorts of alarm bells. was he taking the pictures

because he wanted to plant some explosive device under a seat at some point. was he doing research they wanted to give to a terrorist group at some point. we don't know the answers to those questions. a lot of alarm bells were seen as some past plots these areas being used by terrorist groups. the underwear plot, the underwear bombing plot back in 2009. went back to a seat and tried to detonate it. we also saw in the mid '90s to bomb up to 11 american airliners. >> the things you would think of when you see pictures like there. you think the photos are fantastic? significant? >> i do. they point to what he was thinking about doing. i believe he was looking at his

affinity for airliners. he had been around airliners and airplanes for his adult career. whether it was in the air force or in american airlines or in the middle east with other companies, he was looking for ways in which you could exploit vulnerabilities. this is significant in that sense and a very dangerous possibility of what could have happened here. >> he had knowledge. he worked as a mechanic for the air force and american airlines one of biggest airlines in the world. how frightening is it that he had those mechanic jobs all these access? when i look at this affidavit it says that back in 2001 the fbi got a tip from a co-workers at american airlines saying this guy supports the bombings of u.s. embassy and bin laden, but yet, he still went about his business. he was still able to work as an airline mechanic. >> this is remarkable.

this is where all organizations really need to look at the insider threat. what kinds of people do they have working for them? who really have views that are no part of what the organization is looking for. in the air force it's pretty easy. you either support the united states or you don't. it's easy to discern those kinds of things. in the commercial sector it's a little more tricky. there was a problem following up on this information. >> when you think about people who have access to planes every single day. the vast majority of employees do not go through daily security screens. >> a concern about this. the last thing you want is someone with this profile working at an airport. we saw a recent case with an american isis fighter who was

killed in syria last summer. this is the holy grail for groups like isis and al qaeda who can get someone on the inside. the concern with this guy, if he got into syria he could have been dispatched back, be on the inside with his knowledge of vulnerabilities of systems, he could have tinkered with some of the maintenance to challenge the airworthiness of aircraft or put a device in the aircraft systems. very concerning. >> it's terrifying in that regard. this is the first time we heard of a veteran trying to join isis. they should be going through more screening but these are the people people don't second guess. they don't question them once you're in the u.s. military. people just assume this is where

you stand. >> that's right. that's one of the key difficulties. they can be anywhere. it's very disappointing on a personal level that an air force veteran is in this situation. they really need to pay attention who is working for them because this is critical now. it becomes very important that we realize what these people are think ing thinking and what their attitudes are. >> thanks very much to both of you. some pretty concerns and sobering news. he'll be appearing tomorrow in new york. next the election too close to call. benjamin netanyahu, is he about to lose? houston police raiding the home of real estate heir robert durst. we'll have that development in a few moments.

results coming in from the israeli election. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu could lose his job to man who's views align with president obama. they have been at dramatic odds over the nuclear deal with iran. after 2:00 in the morning where you are, there's still a lot of action. there's celebrating going on. this is a major election for israel and the united states. >> reporter: that's right. a day ago benjamin netanyahu that he was going to be out of a job. they are ereenergizing the right

wing voters. trying to tell them to come out and vote. the staff narrowed the gap with parts of the union. he seems to be neck and neck. he's claiming victory tonight. >> thank you very much. it's very unclear at this hour whether benjamin netanyahu will keep his job and whether he will be as strong as he was before. the former arkansas governor mike huckabee he's been in israel more than three dozen times. he met with the israeli prime minister during this election. intimately familiar with this situation. you said he was risking his political life hen he made that

speech. he likely lost some of his mower power. did he do this damage to himself? >> i think he truly believed israel's existence was on the line. it was a political disaster to come to the united states against the wishes of the obama administration not that israelis support obama but they don't want to do anything to risk the relationship. it was a gutsy move. it's going to be close but i think he will prevail and have the prime minister seat. >> he's going to have to work with the coalition. he'll have to work with others in way he didn't before. his challenger is more liberal. he's made a big part of his platform repairing the damaged

relationship with president obama and the united states. governor when it comes to the big issue here iran as you mentioned, he says his position is the same as netanyahu. there's no dieaylight there. would it have diminished netanyahu still be good for america? >> it's good for america, all the players in the gulf area understand that israel is looking first and foremost at their security. i am absolutely confidencet that not only is there celebration in israel there's celebration in saudi arabia, jordan, eegypt, the emirates. the last thing they can tolerate is iran having nuclear capacity. this will be very unpopular in the white house, it's very

popular among the moderate muslim nation. >> if netanyahu has to share significant amount of power with his rival who is more liberal and center left candidate, you're okay with that in the sense you don't think the iran policy will change? >> i sure hope not because it would be daisisasterous for israel and the united states. israel isn't the ultimate target of iran. they have made clear they want to wipe them off the face ot map and also made it clear that tehran wants to destroy the united states. as long as they are led by people who understand that the iranians are the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world, it's resulted in deaths of many americans and other people throughout the world then the world is safer

place. if this election could tip the other way in a more liberal approach i don't think that's a good sign for the middle east or for the united states. >> one thing that happened today was pretty disturbing and netanyahu said his campaign was in danger and he came out and speak. he said the leftists are bring bringing arabs to polls in buses. was that racist what he said? >> i don't think it was racist. there was a sincere, concerted effort on the part of b-15 the activist group, did they get any taxpayer money from the united states? if they did, that's going to be a significant issue.

the tactics, i don't think had anything to do with race. it just had to do with trying to preserve and protect israel and keep its place without bending and bowing to the iranians and put themselves in a serious place of jeopardy. >> you're okay with how he phrased it. the leftist are bringing arabs in huge amounts to polls in buses. >> i've not going to correct the prime minister of israel. he's been a long time friend. i think he was speaking for candidly and very honestly. one thing i've admired about the israelis israelis their politics make ours look tame. they are pretty straight forward. they have to be. their lives are on the line. i'll cut him some slack on that one. >> thank you. we appreciate your time. investigators raiding the houston home of robert durst

linked to three murders. new questions surrounding the pastor who asked his congregation to buy a $65 million jet. it turns out that megachurch has collected megabucks. where have they gone? theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is. here we go! 80% of the poor in africa are rural farmers. 96% of them are doing rain-fed agriculture.

they're all competing with each other; they're all making very low margins making enough to survive but not enough to get out of poverty. so kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. it's all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, we're not going to solve their biggest challenge. this is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. when we talk to the farmers and ask them what's the most important thing. first of all they say we can feed our families. secondly, we can send our children to school. it's really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want.

breaking news on the real estate heir linked to three murders. police are searching robert durst home in houston. this search is going on at this instant comes as durst arrest blames the hbo documentary about his life. the show's final episode features him caught on tape when he was in the bathroom. he said he killed them all. as he was leaving court today facing a first-degree charge that's today. all smiles. happy as a clam. jean is outfront. what can you tell us about what is going on at this in

insignificant, that raid of his home? >> reporter: we're learning it's happening right now. it could be an execution of a search warrant is happening in texas as we speak. here in los angeles, prosecutors want him to come here to face charges of first-degree murder. the defense wants him to come right here to los angeles to face charges of first-degree murder. durs tonight sits in a jail cell in louisiana. robert durst was in a new orleans courtroom facing drug and weapon charges one day after waiving his right to fight extra extradition to los angeles. the 71-year-old durst was shackled dressed in an orange jump suit sitting in an isolated glass booth. at one point even smalling and laughing to himself.

prosecutors say a.38 caliber handgun and marijuana was found in his hotel room after he was arrest eded on a warrant. >> robert durst, not guilty. >> reporter: when he was acquitted of murdering his neighbor morris black. he admitted he shot and dismembered him but claimed self-defense. susan burrman was shot to death on or about december 23rd 2000. >> the warrant that was issued in california was issued because of a television show and not because of facts. >> reporter: it's an hbo documentary about his bizarre life. in the finale he was con fronted about the murder. she was killed before they were going to question her about the

1982 disappearance of his right. he stepped away to the bathroom. his microphone still live. >> killed them all, of course. >> reporter: the same weekend the finale aired he was arrested. authorities believe he was preparing to flee to cuba. >> we want to contest the basis for his arrest because i think it's not based on facts. it's based on ratings. >> reporter: today in louisiana the prosecute rs asked for and got a detention hearing in louisiana set for monday. the defense wants to come straight to laos angeles. it's allowed for robert durst to ask for that. the question is how important is this louisiana case. it may become very important

because these are felonies a felon in possession of a weapon. it's 10 to 10 years in prison under louisiana law and a weapon and a controlled substance is five to ten. p erin the fact is if there were an acquittal right here in los angeles, that murder case it could be louisiana that would be responsible for putting robert durst for plausibly the rest of his life. >> thank you very much. as robert durst is sitting there in a jail cell police are investigating something totally above and beyond. they are looking at whether the millionaire could be linked to other unsolved murders. dan simon is outfront. >> reporter: take a look at this composite sketch. by any objective measure there's a striking resemblance and that's why police looked into his involvement into the disappearance of a young woman in california 20 miles from

where he had a home. 16-year-old karen mitchell went missing in november, 1997. she was on her way to work. according to local news reports she was last seen leaving into a light blue car she may have gotten into. a witness gave police a description of the man behind the wheel which yielding the sketch. >> you'll see in it he wears these wide rim glasses. he was wearing those kind of glasses back in the day. it's also in the composite. >> reporter: a deadly secret about robert durst. he believe investigators did not do enough to chase down clues to the leading to the teen's disappearance. law enforcement showed him credit card records indicating he was in the small town of 25,000 the day plitmitchell

disappeared. >> in addition mitchell's aunt ran a shoe store in a mall and durst had gone there several time one time dressed as a woman. >> reporter: the lead investigator retired several years ago and we were unable to reach him. he was quoted in a 2003 newspaper article saying he's a lead we're following and i'm not fully comfortable i can eliminate him from our investigation at this point. the police chief is speaking out about the case. >> we're interested in any information that may or may not come out of interviews with mr. - durst. if information comes to us that allows us to further our investigation we will take the opportunity to do that. >> reporter: karen mitchell's parents divorced when she was little. she was raised by an aunt and uncle. one can only imagine their heightened anxiety as this 18-year-old case comes back to the fore front along with reknewnu

renewed speculation about whether robert durst may have been involved. what makes someone like robert durst kill? this is someone where he admitted even though he said it was accidental the death happened he admitted to dismembering somebody. >> and killing him. he said it was in self-defense. when you ask what makes someone like robert durst kill i have to point out that i don't know if we have anybody like him. his baseline is being born into this wealthy manhattan real estate family. he didn't grow up like a normal child did. if you watch the documentary or study him he's always held grudges against his family because he of course didn't grow up like a normal child but he did not become head ceo of his family's company. he's always been left to his own

devices to make his own way, been given a little position in the company for appearances sake but he's just been his own person. >> it's enabled him to hide if he was responsible for the murders they were alleging and others. i want to show that image of robert durst today that was jean was showing. this is today. after all that has happened he's going to jail. there he is in the backseat in his jail outfit smiling, looking happy, looking self-satisfied like a cat. when you see that what do you think? >> his facial expressions are often inappropriate. if we want to go there, this man has been teflon coated his entire life. nothing bad sticks. his wife disappeared, nothing came to it. he killed his murder claimed self-defense and found not guilty.

in fact then was a suspect in susan burrman's murder for quite a while. he claims i was in california but it's a big state. it's almost like he thumbs his nose at his questioners. you can't catch me. >> he also in addition to having whatever mental issues he may have is someone that would use disguises. at one point he posed of a mute woman. he posed as a woman. he has spent time living with homeless. he's cross dressed before. when you take all that into account and add that into the profile of this man who may be a serial killer, what do you think? >> he's showing you how smart he is. he feels like no one ever respected him for being intelligent. he's been diagnosed with asperger's. he wants you to know, i think, i can commit murder and get away with it. i've proved it once. maybe i get to prove it to you a

third time with the case of susan burrman. >> thank you very much. as we continue to follow that case and see what the charges will bring in laoo los angeles. does that sound like the life and time offense a pastor? someone who preaches to his flock about jesus? terrifying moments in the air. a man charging the cockpit screaming jihad. i'll talk to someone sitting right next to where this happened. we'll be right back. we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that.

more questions tonight surrounding creflo dollar. he wanted to raise money to buy a $65 million private jet, the best of the best. he has a six-minute video trying the get people to give him this money. this is not the first time his fund raising has been called in question. martin savidge is outfront with

a look at his wealth and ministry. >> reporter: every sunday the reverend creflo dollar packs them in his 8500 seat church outside atlanta. the pews are filled and so are the donation plates. >> the word of god is the gateway to the world of wealth. >> reporter: the man who's last name literally means money in the united states often suggests to his 30,000 parishioners the more they give the more god will deliver financial blessings so them. >> which is the christian gospel turned upside down and it's honor creflo dollar. >> reporter: his popularity and wealth have continued to grow. all that revenue is tax exempt with little or no one to know how much he has or how he spends it. >> what that means is the church he doesn't have to give financial information to anybody. therefore, he doesn't. >> reporter: there are ways to get a glimpse of some of that wealth from where else the

heavens. this is a satellite view of dollar's georgia home worth more than $2.3 million. these new york records show dollar and his wife sold their manhattan condo for $3.7 million and that's not all. >> bentley's rolls royces corporate jets, $2300 commodes. >> reporter: it even caught the attention of a u.s. senate. >> think of a $23,000 commode. a lot of money going down the toilet. >> reporter: the senate finance committee launched an investigation into the financial practices of dollar and five other televangelist. it's so taxpayers can be assured their donations are being used for the tax exempt purposes. all of them objected. by piecing together what little information the senate committee did have it concluded in 2006

world changers church which has numerous branches received $69 million in contributions in atlanta alone. speaking to cnn in 2007 he denied using church money for personal gain. >> it's a miscalculated assumption. i've purchased homes and cars for people in my congregation. >> reporter: now, five years later dollar is looking to fly higher than ever. >> this is pretty incredible. let me start with this. a lot of people say this guy's name is creflo dollar and trying to raise $65 million jet. is his name really creflo dollar? >> reporter: it is a most convenient name. that's for certain. there are some who say it's not that his real name is michael smith. if you con front creflo dollar he'll say no that is just urban

legend. he also points out there is oversight for his expenditures. there's a board of directors for the church and other church officials who have to approve anything that's done. cynics would say that's a bit like the fox guarding the chicken coop. >> you're talking about 2007 $69 million. he's trying to raise $65 million for a yet. if he raised it from one city he says i bought 100 cars. that's two and a half million dollars. there's a lot of money that's unaccounted for. >> reporter: there is a great deal of money. without any irs filings that he has to do he does not have to account for it. 69 million, keep in mind, was one year a long time ago and also just in atlanta. there are many more branches of this church and that would apply that was a lot more money. >> there's a lot more. thank you. next mid air nightmare.

passenger on the flight. she joins me live from denver. you consider sitting in front of the plane where thispm l >> basically, i was just looking at my phone, playing the game waiting for them to say that i could use my computer. all of a sudden a man came screaming down the aisle and he stopped right next to me and he was flailing his arms and saying that the plane wasn't going fast enough that it was going to go down that we were all going to die, screaming and yelling. and within seconds, the two gentlemen from behind me jumped up and grabbed him and threw him to the floor. >> and, donna, you're very calm as you talk about there. but at that moment when this happened the man says the plane isn't going fast enough it is going down yelling about jihad and the cargo in the compartment of the plane, i mean were you terrified? >> i was terrified but i was more afraid that somebody was going to get hurt by this man

that he was going to hit somebody or we were going to get hit in the middle of the altercation. but it was definitely something that stopped my heart. i reached over and just grabbed the man's arm next to me. i didn't even know him. it was just -- it was terrifying at the time that it happened. yes. >> i know you talk about two men from behind you that just jumped up and tackled him. obviously they were brave, quick thinking. the video that we have shows his face was bloodied. did he ever stropstop struggling? there's not a lot of space in the aisle. you are sitting here right as this fight is happening. >> yeah. i mean these men were amazing. at first i thought they must be air marshals but they took him down pretty quick. one of them laid on top of him and the other one held his feet. then another man jumped up and helped to hold the top of him because he never stopped struggling. he was -- he was struggling the entire time.

the man on top of him told him he's going to have to get aggressive if he doesn't stop. he tried different techniques to try to calm him down and none of them worked. he was definitely definitely out of control of himself. >> you're saying these were two passengers. they weren't air marshals they weren't people who worked for the airline. obviously we hear the pilots -- you just heard them -- they were communicated hey, passengers restrain this man, we want to return to the airport. did you hear anything over the overhead and what were the flight attendants doing as passengers were fighting with this man? >> the flight attendants were standing with their back to the cockpit doing their job, you know keeping the cockpit safe and getting on the phone and communicating with the pilots. then they were yelling at the passengers to please sit down because they didn't want anyone to get into harm's way. >> how many people were involved

in this fight? was it really just those two passengers behind you? >> those two passengers behind me and then a gentleman in front of me jumped up to help restrain him on the ground because he was pretty strong and so this third man jumped in to help hold down his head. as you can see in the video. he just never stopped moving or being aggressive. and the flight attendant did bring up some plastic handcuffs and put them on the man. >> donna, thank you very much for taking the time to be with us. pretty terrifying position as she sat next to this in the aisle. prince charles and camilla are coming to the colonies for a whirlwind visit. we'll preview that trip. and jeanne moos with a sign language interpreter that stole the show and a lot of friends.
