father's day. i love you. hope you're taking care of yourself from california. >> a fox news alert. we are now learning that legendary radio star casey casem has died at age 82. his children says he had been suffering with advanced parkinson's disease. hello, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm arthel neville. >> and i'm shawn. in recent months kasem who was the talk
9:01 am
>> the world will miss casey kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian. we will miss our dad. as kasem always said, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. adam housley has a look back at his life and legacy. >> reporter: born kamel amin kasem in 1932 to lebanese immigrants, casey kassem grew up in detroit with dreams of being a baseball player and got his first taste of the airwaves as a broadcaster with his high school broadcast club. >> i was lucky enough to audition for the lone ranger radio show. i could do a 12-year-old to a 20-year-old. >> reporter: in 1952 kasem got his first deejay job on armed forces radio in korea and returned home two years later and went back into radio as a wacky comedian. it wasn't until he got to oakland that he perfected the
9:02 am
vocal style that would become his trademark. with just minutes before going on air, a studio manager told kasem to simply be himself. within a year he moved to los angeles to deejay and do voiceover work in cartoons. >> when i came to hollywood, i knew that i would do the kind of things that they do on cartoon shows because that's really like radio acting. >> in 1969 he introduced his most famous character shaggy from scooby-doo. >> did about 15 different shows with characters, but none of them as exciting as the man i do or the boy i do on scooby-doo. >> and the count down begins. >> number 40. >> on july 4th, 1970, casem introduced the nation to american top 40. >> casey, could you please play wa "waiting for a girl like you" so she knows she's worth the wait. thank you, mark hess. >> american top 40 became an institution with spinoffs on radio and tv.
9:03 am
kasem remained a part of the franchise until retiring from the mike in 2009, the same year he stopped playing shaggy. >> my greatest claim to fame because it's universal, not that my radio hoe isn't, but everybody loves scooby and the cast. >> one of the most recognizable voices in the radio age casey kasem transformed the radio landscape and now that he's gone i think we all know how he'd want to say good-bye. >> keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. >> reporter: adam housley, fox news. >> casey sasem whose distinct voice helped bring music to our lives is dead at the age of 82. we turn now to a fox news alert in iraq. new violence in baghdad. a car bomb exploding killing ten people and wounding 21. meanwhile the radical insurgent group that captured two major
9:04 am
cities in northern iraq now posting graphic photos showing its fighters massacring dozens of captured iraqi soldiers. conor powell live from our middle east jerusalem bureau with more. >> reporter: arthel, we're watching the violence in iraq escalate and also seeing the brutality increase there. the militants are -- continue their move across the country. they are only about 60 or so miles outside baghdad. the capital really knocking on the doors there, but they control now the major cities of fallujah, mosul and tikrit. they appear to be consolidating their gains in these cities before moving into baghdad bringing unusual brutal methods, essentially killing anyone who opposed them and in some cases we're hearing some people are being beheaded. their goal to create a unified islamic state across iraq and syria. in basra and baghdad hundred of volunteers answering the calls by the country's shop shiite
9:05 am
clerics to take up arms and fight against the insurgents. nuri al maliki's government is dominated by shiite iraq and maintain strong ties with iran while the insurgents are sunni muslims n.recent months malaki has consolidated power in favor of the shiias and alienated the sunni population in iraq, they in turn welcoming with open arms the insurgents adding to the complications really in iraq. the fact that the pro-american kurds in the north are taking advantage of all of this chaos capturing an oil-rich city. as a response the u.s. government has spent the "uss g.h.w. bush" to the persian gulf but the white house is still weighing its openingses. any decision tonight convenient in iraq may come way too late. the country is disintegrating before our very eyes. arthel? >> thanks very much. eric? >> with the sunni militants on
9:06 am
the doorsteps of iraq's capital just 60 miles away and the white house considering those possible military options, what, if anything, can the administration do? or is it too late? joining us on the phone is former u.s. ambassador to the united nations john bolton, a fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. ambassador, what do you think went so wrong to get to this point? >> well, i think the obama administration decision some years ago to withdraw all american forces removed the critical political stabilizing force inside iraq. it wasn't that the force was so large but that it represented america's commitment to iraqis, whether they are kurds or sunni arabs or shiia arabs to form a responsible government. ant when we left malaki and his masters in iran had a free ride and over the past several years
9:07 am
malaki has shown he's incapable of governing a fully confessional iraq, and, therefore, the al qaeda extremists, the isil, this group that's now on the move took advantage of sunni discontent and that's why we're here. that goes to the basic point. once the obama administration made the decision to withdraw american forces, i think we'd have to say, we can certainly say with 20/20 hindsight what we're seeing today is inevitable. >> one of the reasons the forces was withdrawn is malaki wouldn't sign the status of forces agreement so does that put the fault on malaki or do you think the administration could have negotiated something to keep some of those advisers there, that perhaps could have prevented this. >>the evidence is overwhelming had the united states pushed more seriously, and one could say we should have done this more effectively in the bush administration, too, we could have gotten the protection against the liability for american service members that was the hangup in this status of forces agreement.
9:08 am
>> and you think this wouldn't have happened? >> well, we don't know for sure obviously, but we can say that the president used that issue as the excuse he needed to do what he always wanted to do anyway. he had made that clear. he wanted out. he got out. this is a cons fence. >> the islamic state of iraq and syria, they want to have a swath of an islamic state throughout the whole region and what happens to iraq. does it get split up and partitioned, a shiite and sunni and kurd area. can that ground they have retaken be captured? what's the future now for that country? >> i think iraq -- the best bet you can make, obviously we don't have really accurate information from the battlefield, but the best guess at this point is we're headed towards partition. i think that's what the kurds' capture of kirkuk signifies, that they are putting their chess pieces in place to hold kurdistan independent, but i want to say one thing that i've not seen captured in many news accounts. the isil forces may have made a
9:09 am
real mistake here by opening a full second front against the combined al malaki and iranian forces. you know, assad in syria has had the momentum against the opposition as a whole and now in effect like hitler invading russia and creating a second front during world war ii i think they have made a mistake here, at least if as i expect iran will do whatever it takes for them to keep the al maliki regime in power. >> and hopefully not become a client state of tehran. ambassador john bolton, as always, thank you this morning. >> thank you. >> overseas pakistan's army announcing the launch of a comprehensive operation against militants. in the north waziristan tribal air crashing the army says it killed more than 50 people. it also claims that all of those killed today were involved in a deadly airport attack last week which left more than 35 people
9:10 am
dead. >> and the suspected kidnapping of three teenaged boys in the west bank, one an american citizen. that's sparking new tensions between israeli and palestinian leaders. coming up, the steps israel is now taking to try and get these boys home. >> plus, a controversial prisoner swap involving gitmo detainees putting the facility back in the spotlight. president obama's latest plans for the prison straight ahead. >> but make no mistake, we will close guantanamo prison which has damaged our national security interests and become a tremendous recruiting tool for al qaeda, and as i've always said we will do so. we will close the prison in a manner that keeps the american people safe and secure. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips.

sergeant first class russell smith stationed in afghanistan. would i like to wish my father robert smith in champaign, illinois, a very happy father's day. >> the state department now reacting to the abduction of three teenage boys from settlements in the west bank now offering support to israel. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is blaming hamas for the abductions and holding the palestinian president responsible for the teenagers' safety. meanwhile israel rounded up 18
9:15 am
palestinian militants in an overnight sweep. the teenagers have not been heard from since they disappeared late thursday night. dr. dori gold is senior policy adviser to benjamin netanyahu. sir, nice to see you. >> pleasure to be with you. >> i want to start here. >> do we know if there's any reason that these teens were targeted? i mean, what do the captors want for their release? is it a meeting, money? what's behind this? >> well, you know, what we are witnessing i would say over the last few weeks is an intensification of violence against israelis and basically as a direct result of an agreement and pact that mahmoud abbas, the palestinian president, forced with the hamas organization. we now know today, clearly for the first time, that hamas is behind the kidnapping of these three israeli teenagers and frankly hamas is an organization
9:16 am
dedicated to killing israelis. it's in their chart err and constitution. we haven't heard any demand for what's expected for their return. we don't even know if that's in the cards but we do know that this is part of an eminent wave taken by mahmoud abbas. >> what is the impact on the tensions that you're talking about between israel and the new palestinian government? i mean, does this complicate the situation further, and specifically what is your prime minister saying about this kidnapping? >> well, first of all, ever since mahmoud abbas forged this alliance with hamas, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been very clear we will not do business with a palestinian government backed by hamas. you have to wonder why we take this position. hamas is an international terrorist organization.
9:17 am
we feel that perhaps it was a reason -- for reasons of political convenience, abbas made this arrangement but as a result he sent a signal to palestinian street. it was open season on israelis and the first three to suffer are these israeli teenagers. >> i apologize. i'm tight on time, but let's talk about those three teenagers. i mean, there's going to have to be some way to get this out. do you know specifically about the teen that holds an american citizenship? is it a dual citizenship? >> i have to details on his citizenship, but if someone wanted to communicate with us and say, look, we have these teenagers, we would address that, but we don't have any signals. we have to find them ourselves. we're using our contacts with
9:18 am
regional players to find these teenagers and to rescue them. >> good luck with that. of course. wish i had more time to talk with you. >> my pleasure. >> meanwhile, arthel, the release of the top taliban commanders is pushing the prison at guantanamo bay back into the public eye. president obama promised to shut it down at beginning of his first time. now is the administration trying to empty it? there are reportedly plans to transfer out even more detainees. catherine herridge is streaming live from guantanamo bay, cuba, with the latest. >> reporter: well, eric, when it comes to the swap, the detainees know everything. they have access to newspapers and magazines that are uncensored, and they also have access to more than 100 satellite tv channels, including the all news channel, so there is no question that they are very plugged in. they knew what was going on.
9:19 am
they found out by watching fox and other broadcasts pretty much when everybody else did, including myself so when that happened they are informed, the mood is pretty much normal, it's normal ops. >> we arrived here at guantanamo bay yesterday along with 100 members of the military commissions. this week the 9/11 case is back in the military court for some pre-trial hearings. the five men were first arraigned here at guantanamo bay two years ago and the issue that looms over all of this is the president's promise to close the camps at the latest by the end of his second term. now the taliban five were housed in camp six. this is one of the highly complaint camps. that simply means that in exchange for good behavior they get access to all sorts of resources, including up to 18 hours a day of reck time and a former interrogator told fox news that the taliban five in that population stood out. >> i know that within the

detention facility especially among the afghans, i wouldn't want to use the term revered, but there was an honest respect for their authority, and it was not often questioned. >> also this week, high value detainee will be arraigned in the courthouse about 40 yards over my shoulder. you can see it there behind me. heidi al iraqi is caused of being an internal operations chief for the al qaeda network and main liaison between al qaeda and al qaeda in afghanistan prior to 9/11. >> catherine herridge live from guantanamo bay, as always, thank you. >> the special olympics u.s. games is about to get under way. a look next at these inspiring games.

with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.
