bin laden bombshell, a captured cell phone may link the dead al qaeda leader to the pakistani government. bracing for disaster, floodwaters are pouring into minot, north dakota, and the worst is yet to come. and back to boston. mob boss james "whitey" bulger returns to massachusetts to face murder charges and more. captioning funded by cbs good morning. thanks for joining us. i'm manuel gallegus in for betty nguyen. we have new insight into possible links between osama bin laden and pakistani officials. the "new york times" reported a cell phone captured during the

raid of bin laden's compound may tie the al qaeda leader to pakistan's intelligence agency. the cell phone belonged to the terror leader's most trusted courier, the man he depended on to maintain communications with the outside world. the "new york times" reports the phone contained contacts to a militant group in pakistan that bin laden used as part of his support network. the group known as harakat ul mujahadin was a longstanding asset of isi, pakistan's intelligence service, which allowed it to operate in the country for 20 years. by tracing calls made on the phone, u.s. intelligence analysts determined the group spoke often to and may have even met with pakistani officials. if true the report would draw the clearest link yet between bin laden and the pakistani government. the question of pakistan's complicity in hiding the al qaeda leader has hung over washington and islamabad since

the may 2nd navy s.e.a.l. raid that took out bin laden. the relationship was complex before the raid and has become extremely tense ever since. u.s. officials say that it is not clear they helped hide bin laden but it has given them new leads in the ongoing investigation. no other news, a major earthquake struck overnight near alaska. the magnitude 7.2 quake was centered 120 miles off of the remote aleutian islands. a tsunami warning sent people scrambling for high ground in dutch harbor but has been canceled. no reports of injury or damage. to north dakota where the flooding crisis drags on, much of the focus on the threatened city of minot but most of the state's 53 counties have been declared disaster areas. in bismarck nothing could be done to save a house surrounded by floodwaters as it collapsed into the swollen missouri river. in minot 10,000 people evacuated
