the best news in digital cameras to capture it all. >> we begin with breaking news on the benghazi terrorist attack investigation. as the names of the so-called whistle blowers revealed. all three are high ranking officials at the state department and they are set to testify at congressional hearings this coming week. lawmakers are hoping they could provide new information on the deadly terrorist attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi that left four americans dead, including our ambassador there, chris stevens. molly henneberg is live in washington with the latest. hi. >> hi. three men, three names that have been a closely guarded secret in washington. now are public. the names are eric nordstrom, gregory hicks, and mark tampson. we've heard from nordstrom previously back in october when he testified before the same house committee that will hear from the men on wednesday. he was the top security officer in libya in the months leading up to the attacks and said

previously that the state department refused his request for more security. two other men, gregory hicks, the second highest ranking u.s. diplomat in libya at the time of the attacks, and mark tampson, state department counterterrorism official have not told their stories publicly. the committee says other witnesses may be added to the hearing. meanwhile, one washington attorney, who says she represents a benghazi whistle blower, but won't say who, explains how she thinks wednesday's hearing will go. >> the overview of their testimony will tell what happened with the security issue s prior to september 11, what happened the night of september 11, and then what happened afterwards, including retaliation against employees. >> talking there obviously about a september 11, 2012 when the benghazi attack happened. president obama said this week that he was, quote, not familiar with the idea that anyone was being prevented from telling their benghazi story.

here is the state department on the benghazi investigation yesterday. >> the whole family is committed to bringing those who perpetrated this attack to justice and doing everything we need to do to keep our people safe. that's where our attention is. we hope that congress and the media, too, can keep the focus on that. >> but republican congressman darrell issa, who chairs the house committee holding this hearing, says some additional witnesses are hesitating to come forward because they fear they may be punished by their employers. rick? >> molly henneberg in washington, thank you very much. for more exclusive details on these break developments, tune in to fox news sunday tomorrow when chris wallace sits down with the utah congressman, jason chaffetz, one of those questioning the whistle blowers. new developments in the middle east. israel launching an air strike against syria. the target, a shipment of missiles believed to be bound for the lebanese militant group, hezbollah. a key ally of the assad regime.

it is israel's second attack against syria this year. conner powell live from our jerusalem bureau with more. conner? >> arthel, in recent weeks and months, israel has beefed up its military presence along its syrian border and its intelligence gathering capabilities there in large part to keep an eye on transfers of weapons like this reported transfer this past week. according to israeli officials, the air strike took place late thursday night, early friday morning. israeli officials say their jets hit a shipment of long-range ground to ground missiles. that if hezbollah were to get their hands on, could inflict significant damage. the target appears to have been a stock pile of conventional, not chemical, weapons. though both israel and the united states remain concerned about assad's chemical weapons stock pile and today president obama said the u.s. continues to coordinate closely with israel on syria, adding that israel has the right to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry,

to terrorist organizations like hezbollah. the u.s., israel and turkey are also concerned that the assad regime may use or transfer chemical weapons to other extremist groups like hezbollah and other groups that are operating in syria. so far that hasn't happened. but the fear is that the assad regime is trying to transfer conventional weapons in an effort to test israel's resolve. arthel? >> conner powell, thank you very much. meanwhile, a deadly day in afghanistan. seven u.s. service members killed in the country's south. they were killed in a road side bombing. there are few details about the attack right now burks the coalition says it took place in an area known as the birth place of the taliban. two more americans were killed when a member of the afghan national army turned his gun on them, so-called insider attacks have weakened confidence in afghanistan's ability to provide security once foreign forces

withdraw. president obama wrapping up his three-day tour of latin america with stops in mexico and costa rica. the immigration overhaul front and center during his trip because the vast majority of 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country come from that part of the world. chief white house correspondent ed henry is live in san jose, costa rica w the very latest. the president talking about syria today, but a bigger focus on this trip has really been immigration, right? >> that's right. he did an interview with el mundo in which he was asked about the air strikes. the president did not want to get into too much detail. they were trying to keep most of this secret in terms of the details, but he did say israel has a right to defend itself. that's a clear signal from the u.s. that they're not going to stop israel from trying to take out these plants to prevents the spread of chemical weapons to hezbollah. bottom line, the president is trying to keep the focus here in latin america on immigration

reform. it's one of his key legacy items and today he expressed cautious optimism that he's going to get that when he returns to washington. take listen. >> comprehensive immigration reform that i'm hopeful we can pass this year after 30 years can make an enormous difference in improving what is already a system that's better than it was >> notice when he says he hopes to get it done by the end of the year. that's a little bit of a shift from the timetable. a couple months ago, aides were talking about trying to get this done by the end of the summer. they realize, they may get it, but it's going to be a long, hard time. there is still a lot of op approximation. >> what are republicans saying about some kind of a fast track here for getting a deal done? >> you've had this gang of eight, bipartisan group of lawmakers, people on the left like chuck schumer of new york, people more on the right like marco rubio, florida, john mccain of arizona, and they've hammered out the broad outline

of a deal. but the key for conservatives is they want to make sure border security is a key priority in this legislation because conservatives have already given somewhat on a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the u.s. they want to make sure that in exchange they get tough border security measures. there is a lot riding on this for the president. this past week he crossed the 100-day threshold in his second term and hasn't gotten any of his legacy items. gun control, he desperately needs immigration reform done. >> ed, thanks so much. new developments in the boston bombing investigation. we're learning a search of computers in suspect tamerlan tsarnaev's home turned up an al-qaeda magazine called inspire. it's best known for providing bomb making instructions, along with propaganda. all this as new details emerging on tamerlan tsarnaev's cause of death, as well as issues that

are implicating his funeral plans. david lee miller live in boston with more. how, david lee. >> hi. at this hour, the body of tam testimony is in a funeral home in worcester, massachusetts. it arrived there one day ago. some local residents voiced very strong opposition to him being buried in their community. the owner of the funeral home says so far all cemeteries that he has contacted have refused to accept the remains. >> we are looking for a place to bury this gentleman and if need be, we will go to any agency that can help us to get this done because the body has to be buried. >> as of now, a death certificate has not been officially filed. but fox news has learned that the death certificate does list the cause of death as, and i quote, gunshot wounds to torso and extremities and blunt talk to head and torso, which it goes on to say that he was shot by

police and then run over bay motor vehicle. that was driven by his own brother, dzhokhar. one other potential obstacle in the funeral arrange ams being completed, tsarnaev's family is calling for its own independent autopsy and that has yet to take place. arthel? >> david lee miller, thank you very much. weeks after the boston bombing, a woman from idaho finishing what she started. kathy harta school employee, was running in the boston marathon, but the attack prevented her and so many other runners from completing the race. so with students and teachers cheering her on, she ran the final one third of a mile back in idaho and she describes what motivated her. >> to go that far and to distance and only be short of a third of a mile, it means a lot to be able to finish this marathon. we can't stop living. we just got to keep moving on and go on and not let them get what they want and that's what

the terrorists want is to disrupt your life. we're not going to let it happen. not in this country. not in our house. >> she says that she dedicated her finish to the victims in boston. fox news extreme weather alert. massive wildfire raging in southern california since this thursday. it's now about 30% contained. firefighters say cooler temperatures and increasing humidity is helping, but that nearly 4,000 homes and businesses are still in the danger zone. we'll have much more on the situation on the ground coming up in a live report later in this hour. meanwhile, south carolina getting ready for a special congressional election. mark sanford seek ago second chance after his political career imploded because of extramarital affair. his opponent, democrat elizabeth covert bush, steven colbert's

>> rick: getting caught up on the headlines. search teams recovering the bodies of two u.s. service

members killed when their refueling plane crashed. the search for the third crew member continues. take a look at that out of northern italy. a powerful tornado leaving a trail of destruction. the twister passing directly over one town, injuring about a dozen people and destroying several homes. prosecutors say a renowned doctor at university of pittsburgh medical center died after being poisoned. investigators say a high level of cyanide was found in 41-year-old autumn marie klein's system. >> arthel: at least 15 people lost their limbs late last month when a pair of bombs ripped through the boston marathon. now those same victims are getting some much needed support from a group of u.s. military vets and fellow amputees who lost limbs in the iraq and afghanistan wars. william is a retired u.s. marine sergeant. he lost his foot while serving

in iraq and is already made two trips to visit boston victims. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> i know that one of the people you visited there in boston was adrien davis, 32-year-old dance instructor and professional ballroom who lost a portion of her leg below her knee. tell me about your visit when you spoke to not just her and the others. what did they do, first of all, when they saw you? >> first of all, i got to say, going there, i was expecting that we were going to have to lift their spirits. but their spirits were high. they were so strong, so courageous. it was very inspiring. when they saw us, we were able to answer a lot of the questions they had. we took off our prosthetic legs and limbs and showed them to them and answered questions as to why we used one foot over the other and different systems that go into the prosthetics. answered other questions such as

phantom pains and what we do to try to mitigate that stuff. >> arthel: i want to go back to some of the emotions and we'll get back to the fan -- phantom pain does what that is. but when you told me you were uplifted when you showed up, it sent a little charge through my body, like a goose bumps, if you will. so i want to know when you saw their spirits so high, how did you feel? did you choke up? >> a little bit, yeah. it did take me offguard. a lot of it has to do with the great care they're receiving there in boston. we went to four different hospitals and the nurses and the doctors work around the clock, coming in on their days off and it's phenomenal. the city has rallied behind these people and they're so strong. the phrase, boston strong, is a correct label. i was blown away by the ems. we got to meet with some of the firefighters and some of the other emergency services and they're phenomenal people.

and the families were there rallying behind the victims and the support is there. that's what the fund is hoping to do is just welcome them into our family and provide them with support. >> we're going to tell everybody, the folks watching, how they can help if a moment of let me talk to you more, sergeant, about what is it that you say to people like adrien? they're very strong, as you pointed out. but it's definitely an emotional roller coaster, until you get to a place where you're okay consistently. so how do you walk them through what they might expect? >> first, one of the first things i said that got a lot of laughs, was welcome to the club. what was different about our situation being in the military is that we had an inclination that it might happen. these people had no idea this was coming and that's what really took me aback, that this should not have been happening. we went to iraq and afghanistan to make sure that this didn't

happen on our soil ever again. but throughout, we just talked to them like they were people and they are. we're honest with them. they were honest with us. and it was really moving. it really meant a lot to me to be able to give back. so many people were there for me when i was injured and still are and there has been so much support for us, our military that we all just felt compelled to give back to everybody that's done so much for us. >> you said that they were honest with you. what are some of the things they told you that struck you most? >> lot of their fears, wondering if they would be able to do some of the things they loved to do, such as dancing. i was talking with ai wouldn't enand the closist thing i do to get close to dancing like she does is my daughter has an x box connect and i told her that even though my daughter beats me, but die score pretty high. so i imagine she's going to be able to do really well.

>> arthel: very good, very good. so you feel that you were able to offer some sort -- that emotional support that even -- i don't know if adrien is married or not, but her mother, the closest people to her can say it's going to be okay. but it's another thing when someone like you walks in that room and says, no, really. i know. i've been there. i lived this. life will be okay. >> yes. her husband was there. her husband was actually injured with her. he was three weeks back from afghanistan, came back without a scratch but got hurt in boston. we do keep in contact over e-mail and through phones with various other victims. they are just as we were impacted when we were in that same position, and we had vietnam era vets coming to our bedside and showing us what they have done and what they were able to accomplish. just seeing us walking and seeing us getting along, gabriel

being a double amputee and all the things he's doing and training to be a paraathlete in running really helped show them that there is light at the end of the tunnel. >> arthel: indeed. i've got to go, but i want if you can answer this for me, sergeant, when was the last time you personally had a breakdown? >> you know, it's probably been about eight months. every now and again i get into a funk. but that's when it helps that i have the support of the fund, the team, my family, so i'm able to contact other vets who have lived through the same trauma that i have and that's where that support really helps us to keep going forward and helps me to keep going forward. i have the semper fi fund and helping me and provide me with opportunities where i can challenge myself and a lot of challenges laid before me. >> arthel: sergeant, i appreciate you. our country appreciates you and

continued success with everything do you in life. hello to your daughter and your wife and thank you very much for your service, sir. >> thanks again for having me. >> arthel: i want to let everyone know for more information how you can help, visit semperfi amfund.org. wow. served abroad and now at home. when we come back, millions of customers, consumers rather, tune in to on-line shopping because you feel like you can save a little money on sales tax in some cases. but that could actually change very soon. we'll take a closer look at a brand-new bill that's about to get a vote in the senate and what it could mean for i couldn't on-line shopping. also army of firefighters trying to beat back flames as a missive wildfire threatens thousands of homes. dominic denatale is live from southern california. >> thousands fire personnel praying the weather turns in their favor as we have an

massive wildfire tearing through southern california. thousands of firefighters have been batting the flames for days. officials say the fire, which has now burned an area twice the size of manhattan, is still threatening thousands of homes. dominic dinatale is live near malibu. >> yeah. it's about 4,000 in total. i don't think the fire authorities expected wildfire season to start off the way it has been. four major fires. the biggest one of all is spring fire, which started on the mountains behind me, moved across here yesterday, and the pacific winds have taken it back inland to a 43-square mile area. firefighters really struggling with that. it started off at 28,000 acres in size. but it looks like it's gained an extra 10,000 acres today. the winds haven't dropped to the levels the firefighters were hoping for. at the moment we've got 15 damaged houses. about five damaged businesses. that's not bad because we haven't seen any homes destroyed so far.

all the same, the residents nearby say they've had a few close calls with the flames. take a listen. >> all of a sudden our front field caught on fire. we put it out with shovels, tractors, used whatever we could. >> we lived out here since 2000. to see it that close, it's a little nerve racking. you don't expect it to be that close. >> fire department has done a good job. hopefully that's good. >> we're also hearing there is now 100-acre fire further out to the east, in banning, the first fire we saw break out last week on wednesday. 100 acres added. near highway 243 in riverside county. we're also hearing that up further north from where we are, there are worries about fires there. a new red flag warning suggests there is hazardous continues conducive to more outbreaks of fire. in northern california, we know there has been one fire up there

and the authorities very concerned this could spread. but this is just been four days to the start of wildfire season and the authorities really very much taken aback by this. they're hoping tomorrow there is a 50% chance of rainfall that. will help dampen things. it's been an increase in humidity and that's helping them, too. back to you. >> arthel: dominic, definitely nerve racking times. thanks. peak fire season in southern california runs from union to november. however, sometimes it can start early when a dry winter combines with the strong santa anna winds. that's why we're seeing an early fire season this year. rick? >> rick: thank you very much. bad news perhaps for internet shoppers. you may have to start paying more for on-line purchases. next week on monday, the senate taking up what's called the marketplace fairness act. if approved, it would allow states that already charge sales tax to also collect tax on things that people buy over the internet and these are through internet only retailers, like

amazon.com. we have elle here. let's say you are senator. >> okay. >> and the vote is on monday. are you yea or nay? >> that is a tricky question. i would say that in parceling this down, it really isn't much of a change from current laws. we're supposed to be paying sales tax on internet purchases, but most people don't. so this is a way where it's going to be enforced very strictly for some, but not for all. and like all tax legislation, it's going to be somewhat confusing. it's going to very much depend on the state you're in. >> rick: as we said in the intro, this only affects big companies, big internet companies like amazon and others that have -- that are internet only and have sales, more than a million dollars in each particular state. is that right?

>> one thing that i guess i'm excited by, even though i certainly would veer towards less legislation is for budding entrepreneurs, this won't affect them. if you're a start-up and selling things on-line, you won't reach that million dollars mark in a specific state and this won't affect you. if you're a craft lover as i am and you sell things on etsy or have a store on ebay, again, this isn't going to affect you because you haven't reached that million dollars mark. what it is going to do is take stores like amazon or zappos that don't charge sales tax and create basically the same parameters that affect a place like home depot, that has to charge sales tax because they have a physical presence. they have a brick and mortar store and the on-line option. >> rick: so okay. let's just boil this down, though for folks -- let's say they live if a state where right now there is no sales tax and there are about five states out

there. for those people, that will continue to be the case no matter where they shop on-line. but for everybody else and those in washington, d.c. where there is a sales tax imposed, now what's going to happen? is it going to cost them more? >> buying things at the large internet retailers will cost them the same thing, the same price with sales tax as buying things at a brick or mortar store. >> rick: how much more? >> whatever the sales tax is. and each state has discretion to how they implement this. so it's not just the states where there is no sales tax. place like new jersey, where there is no sales tax on clothing will still not charge sales tax on clothing bought on-line. and one thing that i love, a state like wisconsin or connecticut, they don't charge sales tax on the american flag. and they still won't. >> rick: patriotic in their tax laws in their state. that will hold true. i think that a lot of people out there listening to this say it sounds like another tax.

why do we need another tax? aren't we taxed enough? >> certainly we don't need another tax and we are taxed enough. however, this tax exists. what this does is formalizes it. currently you're supposed to support these tax. this have i for very large on-line sellers, places, again, like amazon, they have to charge sales tax just like the brick and mortar counter parts for on-line purchases. >> the senate votes monday. there's a similar version of this bill that has been introduced in the house and the president has said he's in favor of this. he's ready to sign it once it comes to his desk. but just in case anybody out there thinks this is a partisan issue, this is a bill that has the support of both democrats and republicans alike. pretty bipartisan. >> well, one thing to keep in mind here is again, for fellow entrepreneurs, people looking to start a business, grow something and create jobs, fortunately, this won't affect them because they would have to reach a

million dollars in a specific state before this state would impact them. so for a lot of people, i don't think it will have a real impact. >> it could level the playing field. i guess that's the intention forbe the mom and pop shops. >> the brick and mortar stores. >> to come in on main street as opposed to having people go on-line. elle caplan, always good to see you. >> i love this. >> rick: thank you for gracing us with your presence today. >> thank you. >> arthel: rick, we have into the news room. we've winner of the kentucky derby, or crossing the finish line at churchill downs, moments ago and becoming the newest contender for the triple crown. revolutionary coming in at second place. normandy invasion finishing third. again, the winner of the 139th running for the roses, it is orb. he continues his quest for the

and political science at university of southern california and fox news contributor, susanest ridge. good to see you. >> good to see you, art. >> thank you. before we get to the political fallout, let's talk about this, you're saying that perhaps it's a little early for a victory lap. >> yeah. everybody likes good news and i'm sure both the president and congress will take great credit for it even though it appears this good news came despite their inability to do anything. but the economists, which those are the people we're looking to for guidance, are saying to us right now, hey, don't do the victory lap yet. this is the first month. one month, it's a good month. but some of this stuff is sort of trickle down. we're going to see furloughs. we're going to see hours cut. we've got uncertainty for those who depend on government grants. so what everybody seems to be saying other than the politicians, at least, is keep your fingers crossed. but by no means are we out of

the woods, the effect on the economy. it would be great if the economy just kept getting better and better and the fact that we had sequestration did not hurt people and hurt the economy and hurt jobs. but i don't think we should get the champagne out yet. >> arthel: of course, we're rooting for the people. 165,000 jobs added, we wish there were 2,065,000 jobs added. let's get to the political fallout portion. what's your take? >> well, the pressure is off right now to do anything. so having solved the airline problem, because of course, the one thing we know congress people fly and that voters fly. so we dealt with the delay problem. i think right now the pressure is off to do anything major, to take a look at these cuts and figure out if they are the right cuts or not. and that may or may not be a good thing because depending on who you talk to in the defense

department and elsewhere, they'll tell you these cuts are not being done in a surgical way and we're not necessarily cutting the things that should be cut. but i think in terms of politics, art, it's hard enough for these guys to do anything when 90 country is behind them and they've got bipartisan support. >> arthel: right. >> so right now the jobs number is looking good and with people say, hey, maybe this is going to work out, i think the reality is nothing is going to happen in congress on the budget. the president is not going to do anything. and we'll have to wait for the next crisis before we get any attention back and hopefully it won't be too late at that point. >> arthel: that's the point, we keep waiting until it's almost too late. at one of these times it's actual lea going to be too late. i mean, is there anything that perhaps that could happen between now and before it gets too bad on both sides that could put pressure saying, guys, get it together, do something before we actually have a crisis? >> you know, art, if you and i

could figure that out, a little female common sense here saying, you don't wait until the crisis, no. we're in a mode now in washington where we just lurch from crisis to crisis. we sort of lurch from fight to fight. we have one or would issues at a time that blow up. right now we're going to do immigration. we'll see what happens there. before it was guns. maybe we'll go back to guns. but we have these major crises, things blow up. we're going to go off the fiscal cliff or whatever it is. sometimes we do something. most of the time we don't do anything. people get more and more aggregated 'cause if you and i conducted our personal financial affairs the way congress did, both of us would probably get evicted. >> arthel: completely. >> right. can you imagine, oh, i think we'll just have sequestration. we won't know what we're cutting, but i'm sure it will work. as long as you don't take the food away. so i just think the reality of

politics in washington now is it's pretty much broken. the only thing that gets people's attention is the crisis. and good numbers mean no crisis this week. >> arthel: i chuckle, but i'm only chuckling at your delivery. this is definitely a sad situation. as always, i appreciate your perspective and good to see you. >> good to see you, art. >> arthel: i want to let everybody know you can read susan's syndicated column in newspapers across the country every wednesday and friday. rick? >> rick: arthel, the world of digital cameras getting more advanced by the minute. on deck, "consumer reports" looks at all the bells and whistles as we get ready to buy gifts for mom and new grads. stick around. we'll be right back a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age.

>> arthel: as millions prepare to gather for mother's day and graduation season, digital cameras can help capture all the very, very special moments. >> rick: "consumer reports" is putting the newest ones to the test. some with every feature you can imagine. joining us, terry sullivan. good to see you. >> how are you? >> rick: we got point and shoot, dsl, like dsl. let's start with this one. this is from canon. >> yeah. that's the revelt 5 i. these are all advanced cameras. they do a lot better job than

your smart phone or basic point and shoot in that they're loaded with features. one of the things that people get intimidate by, lots of people is that oh, wow, they're so complicated to use. you can basically put them on auto and they're very easy to use. but they're also doing complex things that are really much better to do. so these give you an example. auto mode, you generally get -- again, window, indoors, that's not what you want. this camera and all these cameras do what's called hdr, or high dynamic range, fire off three shots very quickly, and what it does is it stitch it is right in the camera and boom, you got more detail. >> arthel: so i don't have to do anything? >> rick: you look very serious. >> i know. very, very serious. >> rick: let's move down to this one. >> this is an -- that's a lower light camera. the reason why it's not quite an slr, they took the mirror out. but the foot print is much

smaller. you can see how much smaller it is than this camera. both the camera itself and the lens itself are smaller, lighter. much more wonderful for travel. this one actually happens to be a wi-fi enabled camera. so i couldn't get it to work, but you basically can connect this with your smart phone or your tablet and then you can shoot it right from your smart phone. say your kid is in an auditorium and you set the camera up front. you set it from your seat and you fire off the shot from afar. >> rick: that's a point is and shoot? >> this is advanced point and shouldn't has lots of different dials and knobs. this one also does the same thing as these other ones where they make complex shots easier. so if you want a shot where one of you is in there and then another person comes into the shot, it takes a shot so that you run to get into the action.

>> rick: what did we do? >> it's a self portrait, self timer. >> you're not knocking over your grandmother to get in the shot. not that you would do that. >> rick: never a good idea to knock over grandma. >> arthel: good stuff. >> rick: thank you very much for coming in. our friends from "consumer reports." that does it for us. >> that was fun. >> arthel: always with you. stick around, the fox report is up next. harris is not lyrics but heather childers is in for harris faulkner. we'll see you throughout the week. have a good rest of the weekend, guys alec, for this mission i upgraded your smart phone.
