"today in the bay's" marla tallez joins us now. this comes one year to the day after we lost bay area native,

kristi fence, wi chris stephens. >> it is too early to tell if they are linked in any way. officials are saying a car bomb is to blame for this attack that tore up the libyan foreign ministry meeting. the bomb went off at dawn and damaged buildings next door, including the benghazi branch of the libyan central bank. several people were said to be hurt but with just minor injuries. at this point, no one is claiming responsibilities for this blast. as we just talked about, it has been just one year since u.s. ambassador, chris stephens and two navy s.e.a.l.s and a computer specialist were killed. still, no arrests have been made. this morning, counter christ officials say they have determined several extremist groups are behind this attack. they say they think the attack was planned specifically for the outpost but they are still trying to determine who was the

overall mastermind and whether september 11th was a targeted date. it is still very much an active investigation. take a look at this. this is the fbi website. it shows 29 pictures of men the fbi is interested in talking to as it relates to the attack one year ago. to this day, as many as five different congressional activities are looking into the attack. more hearings for this. the white house relates a statement on the attack a year ago. more on that. thank you very much, marla. as we've been mentioning, this morning does mark 12 years to the day for the september 11th attacks. under 30 minutes from right now, a special ceremony will start honoring the men and women who died when the world trade center collapsed. all 2,977 names will be read at 5:46 this morning. there will be a moment of silence marking the time the north tower fell.

one thing you will not be seeing is politicians speaking out. over the years, there have been special efforts to try and keep politics out of the anniversary ceremony. >> hard to believe it has been 12 years now. here in the bay area, a new memorial to the heroes and victims of 9/11 actually in the works. >> the city of hayward has approved plans for that memorial to be built on mission boulevard near "d" street. "today in the bay's" christie smith joining us live with a look at this upcoming design. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. right now, it is just a patch of grass. this is where the 9/11 memorial will be here in hayward near downtown. it took a while to get off the grown. over the summer, there was a disagreement between the designer and the city. they finally reached a deal that seems to be working for both of them. it looks like we will finally see this happen. now, plans for hayward's september 11th memorial are moving forward. it will be next to the old city

hall. there is animation of what the project will look like on haywardmemorial911.com. a flag pole in the center with red granite benches. it will honor police, firefighters and veterans. it was designed by a man named michael emerson, a veteran himself, who helped consult with a flight 193 memorial in union city. he is coordinating donations and labor. apparently, according to the city attorney, there was a disagreement that centered over the plan review time and the ability to make modifications if they are needed. it is estimated this will cost $100,000, to $150,000 to get done. the project must be completed, the city is saying, within three years. emerson believes once the money is in place it will only take a couple of months to complete. christie smith, "today in the bay" richmond moving forward with

a plan to help homeowners with underwater mortgages. the city council voting to take that next step in the richmond cares program. this program would help struggling homeowners by buying their mortgages and then restructuring those loans. the goal is to reduce the city's foreclosure rate. a former school district leader expected to return to court accused of embezzling more than $100,000 to remodel his house. timothy haanredi, they say he used money to remodel his home in woodside. >> a bay area mcdonald's manager could face criminal charges for ripping off his own restaurant. they say he held up two different mcdonald's last month, including the one he manages. officers arrested him shortly after his last holdup at a san

mateo mcdonald's. he walked in with a replica handgun and made employees hand over cash from a safe. now, in both of these cases, employees were herds into freezers. we are happy to report nobody was hurt in either robbery. 5:06. from protectors to victims, some of the first crews on the scene of the fire in mt. diablo, they got back to the firehouse to make a disturbing discovery. someone actually broke in while they were out. "today in the bay's" bob riddell live at the command post with some of the personal items that were stolen. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. police are still looking for this person who took advantage of some of the firefighters working the morgan fire. this happened sunday night while those firefighters who were with the cocoa county fire department protection. when they returned monday morning after a brutal 24-hour shift in the heat and smoke, they found this person had gone through their personal lockers

and their bedrooms and stole their valuables, ipads, money and watches and two wedding rings. >> are you sear why us? this actually happened? somebody came in the fire station and stole from us after we helped people. it is devastating. >> reporter: that same night, someone tried to break in to station 3 on rossmoor parkway. they tried to break in through the window of a captain's window, the captain's bedroom but he was there and scared them off. the firefighters assigned to station 7 say if the department had been fully staffed, the station would not have been empty for 24 hours and perhaps this might not have happened. with regards to the morgan fire, here is the latest on that. the cal fire has lifted. the road closures and evacuations. the area that burned is 60% contained. cal fire thinks it will have the entire 32-acre burn area, 200-acre burn area surrounded by saturday. even though you can't see flame

or smoke, you cannot see hot embers and logs that are still burning inside and still a lot of unspent fuel up there, hence the need for firefighters to still be up the mountain to make sure none of that flares back up. hence the reason you still have the incident command center set up and campfires in dublin where you have hundreds of firefighters on scene. we believe they will be told to go home in the coming days. cal fire told us they definitely had their turning point. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." good news on the fire. bad news on the burglary. come on, man. ripping off these guys that are working in harm's way. we want to check in with meteorologist, christina loren. they are helping out with humidity as well. good morning, to you, laura and john. good morning to you at home, taking a live look. this is san jose.
