7:03 am
are learning more about a deadly collapse in the bay area. five people are dead and eight others hurt after a balcony gave way overnight. >> it happened at the top of a four story apartment building. jovasquez of our san francisco station is at the scene. >> reporter: it is an awful scene here two blocks west of uc berkeley. you can see police officers investigating on the street and up on the fourth floor you can see two balconies, one on top of the other. it was the top balcony that collapsed. this happened at 12:40 this morning. police found more than a dozen young people on the sidewalk. four were dead on the scene. their bodies are still on the sidewalk being examined by the coroner. eight others taken to the hospital are in critical and possibly life threatening condition according to berkeley police. according to the irish times newspaper these were irish citizens attending a 21st
7:04 am
birthday party and the foreign minister of ireland has confirmed the deaths and expressed condolences to the families. we are expecting a representative of the irish government to be here on the scene shortly. al qaeda confirmed overnight that an american attacked in yemen killed the second highest ranking figure. >> reports say a cia drone fired a missile that killed. al qaeda confirmed the leader's death overnight. good morning. >> good morning. in that announcement al qaeda's affiliate al qaeda in the arabian peninsula said wuhayshi was killed. and the group announced a successor to replace him.
7:05 am
wuhayshi's death is a major setback. he lead operations since 2002 and once served at osama bin laden's personal secretary. he was most famously responsible for sending two underwear bombers to blow up airliners over american soil. both of those attacks failed. up until now al qaeda has been sliding here because of the vacuum created by months of civil war. the terrorist group controls more territory here than ever before including a city of more than 200,000 and they also have more fighters and more cash than ever before in part because when they move into that city they took control of its central bank. al qaeda finished its statement with a warning for america saying that it was still alive and here to stay and that it would continue to make americans' lives miserable. cbs news senior security contributor is in washington.
7:06 am
he is a former cia deputy director. good morning. how significant is this? >> charlie, i think this is the most significant u.s. counter terrorism success since the killing of osama bin laden. this guy wuhayshi ran al qaeda in the arabian peninsula for the last 13 years. it's the most dangerous al qaeda group. it's the biggest threat to the homeland and he was also the number two in the entire global al qaeda organization. so this is a very very significant success. >> we have seen a number of successes recent. does this suggest we have sources inside these terrorist organizations? >> one of the things that is interesting to me here is we were concerned when united states was forced to leave yemen that we were going to be blind. this tells me that we have found a way to continue to collect intel inteliance. >> can you tell us about the replacement and won't he just pick up where they left off? >> good question.
7:07 am
so this guy long time al qaeda in the arabian peninsula operative was in jail with wuhayshi from about 2003 to 2006. they served time in the same jail together. they broke out together. they reconstituted the organization together. he has been the group's military commander. i think this is a setback in two ways. one is that wuhayshi was running the organization for 13 years. it is going to be disruptive to replace him. the other is all of these leaders have to start worrying about their own security and that is a very good thing in terms of not allowing him to focus on plotting. >> there is also the question of the bomb maker who may be in yemen. how important a target is he? >> i think he is the most important target because he is the guy responsible for producing these very sophisticated explosive devices,
7:08 am
the one the underwear bomber used, the one in the printer cartridge and in the nonmetallic suicide vest. he is very significant, probably most significant after wuhayshi. >> we thank you for joining us from washington this morning. millions of americans face a potential dangerous flash flooding. heavy rains and thunderstorms batter parts of colorado overnight. tropical storm bill poses a threat to the southern plains taking aim at the texas coast right now. >> reporter: here in galveston the window to evacuate is closing. the storm is expected to hit in just a few hours. as a matter of fact we are starting to see early bands of tropical storm bill. as you can see right now it is pushing the gulf of mexico sometimes up over the sea wall. the island is expected to get possibly up to ten inches of rain. the rest of the state as much as
