that will help change the way doctors see patients. undergo there? how much did he learn? that's better health for more people. we're hearing that here that the bomb he made was apparently very ♪ crude and probably wasn't going to go off and cause as much damage as he perhaps thought it would. authorities are trying to figure out what they can about him, who may have helped him, and what other pieces there may be to this plot. >> nbc's ron allen for us live outside the courthouse. thank you. we're now joined by the mayor of bridgeport, connecticut where shahzad last lived. mayor, thanks for joining us. do we have you, mayor? >> i'm here. >> we have you now. what is your reaction knowing this suspect in this times square bombing lived right in your community? >> well, certainly disconcert g disconcerting. it's not far from my home or my son's little league field. when you hear of anyone doing these kinds of things it's disconcerting. >> i understand at a press conference yesterday you said that bridgeport's easy distance

and multiple connections by highway and train to new york make it prime location for would-be terrorists. explain more of that because i imagine people live in your town and that isn't an easy feeling to digest. >> the point i'm trying to make is we are all tied to new york city. mayor bloomberg has his hands full obviously because he is the target. new york is the target for so many of these people. and because we're very close to new york, our economies are intertwined, we're connected by a highway, by 20 or 30 trains a day, by ferry boat, towns like bridgeport or newark or any of the towns in the area, i imagine, are convenient places with less visibility. but i want to say thank you to our police department in working so well with the fbi because if it weren't for the safe streets program that senator lieberman, senator dodd were able to get for us, the safe streets program allows our local police to work with the fbi on a day-to-day basis. i don't think that those connections would have been made in order to apprehend somebody

within 60 hours. >> we know the mayor of new york michael bloomberg is saying that his city needs more funds as it is a target. is that a case you're making for bridgeport, connecticut as well? >> absolutely. look, the tri-state area, the metro new york city area, is different than the rest of the country. we are the symbol of so much of what these people who are our enemy detest. as much as we love new york city, they detest new york city and want to make an example of it. we don't forget 9/11. we had many people in southwestern connecticut affected or killed by that terrible disaster. and we aren't forgetting it. lechbs tsyringe -- vigilance of the citizenry calling the police, see something, say something, i don't think we'd be as safe as welcome back. we've got a lot of tweets from we are. we are all on our toes here more you guys today. thank you very much. all of you. than other parts of the country. one of them that stands out >> thank you for joining us. today sent directly to me at we appreciate your time and tamron hall just not good enough reaction to this developing for msnbc. story. faisal shahzad, his ties to 53-hour catch. pakistan where he was actually referring to the fact that we've born, we now know he comes from been asking questions about how

was put into the clinic until after she had gotten off the phone with my mother and i. and i was not happy about that. >> whose idea was it for him to wear the hair style? it's kind of slicked on the sides. it's not a mohawk. but whose idea was it for him to have the hair cut? >> it's actually his idea. he likes it that way. he's very, very particular about how his hair is fixed. he was born with cleft lip and cleft pallet so his appearance means a lot to him and it was i spoke with someone who knew the father today and he said the his idea. father would have been he asks me every morning to get completely shocked and horrified up and help him. and embarrassed to learn this i am up with him anyway but get and that this is a black stain up and help him and fix it so on the entire family. that way he looks presentable so one would assume they're when he goes to school. cooperating but in pakistan what and i told the assistant happens between top generals is principal, i said it would be not discussed, frankly. different, you know, if it was paint color or blue or, you >> all right. richard engel, live in islamabad. thank you very much for those know, whatever. it's his natural color and is a

>> reporter: no. this is really a good news/bad news story, tamron, with the bad news far outweighing the good. take a look at this. i'll use it as a wind indicator and it has now turned in the last hour. the water on that side, waland this side, the wind has turned around driving it closer. as you referenced before with the satellite photo. everybody is concerned about the fact that it looks like this oil landfall is going to occur sooner than they thought. first they thought two or three days which would give the response crews more time to prepare the islands and other vulnerable areas to skim and suck up some of the oil and water mixture and do the controlled burns. while they rush this containment dome out to the site itself. it is on the way and will get there around midnight and won't be deployed until probably after the weekend. that is the best chance to cap the leak itself. if they do that and the slick 60 days the size it is and gets driven away because the winds turn offshore they may have the best chance to avoid the worst

scenario. there are a lots of ifs there. if ifs and buts were candy it would be christmas every day. >> what is the mood of the fishermen around there? they've been frustrated from the very beginning and now it's just day after day. >> reporter: yeah. they are frustrated and angry. i just spoke with the head of the charter boat skippers association whose meeting with the governor's people here in mississippi to see what they can do to prepare for whatever happens once the oil reaches landfall. there's not a lot they can do. yes they're angry. there isn't a lot they can do about their anger. at this point they can prepare the beaches and other landfall areas to with stand the slick arriving to a certain degree but if it comes in the way it can top of the hour here on msnbc. here are some of the stories and there are 2,000 square miles we're watching for you. of slick out there, hundreds of as more information comes out thousands of gallons it's a crap about the suspect in the times square bombing a tempt, there is shoot. who knows how bad it can be a new focus on why he was except that it will be bad. allowed to board a plane despite >> nbc's mike taibbi live with the latest from the coast of being on a no fly list. louisiana. thank you very much in biloxi, anger, violence, and death mississippi. a major protest against arizona's new immigration law is planned for tonight. in greece. the country's financial mess takes a tragic turn.

welcome back. we're following breaking news out of san antonio, texas where an 18 wheeler was being loaded with fuel at a san antonio refinery. it exploded setting off a chain reaction of smaller blasts and leaving some workers injured. there were about 100 employees and right now authorities are trying to account for all of

those individuals and some homes nearby have been evacuated within a one-mile radius of the incident. you see that thick, black smoke coming from the area there. it's a result of the 18 wheeler and its explosion then setting off a chain reaction of smaller blasts. we're working to get more details on workers who were injured at this refinery facility again in san antonio, texas, about 100 employees were there and authorities are trying to account for all of them. new details emerging about the murder of a university of virginia student. 22-year-old yaerdly love a player on the women's lacrosse team was found dead in her apartment. police say she was face down on her pillow lying in a pool of blood. she had bruises on her face and her right eye was swollen shut. police describe her as a victim of blunt force trauma. police have charged her ex-boyfriend. he is a men's lacrosse star at the university as well. his name is george huguely with first-degree murder. nbc's jeff rossen is following

developments from charlottesville, virginia. >> reporter: hey, tamron. good afternoon. disturbing details in these court documents of course and really a bombshell admission from george huguely the star from the men's lacrosse team now arrested for first-degree murder. he told police during the interrogation after waiving his rights to a lawyer and waiving his rights to stop talking he kept on talking and apparently told them that he kicked the door in to yeardley love's bedroom the night that she died and shook her so violently that her head knocked against the wall over and over again. this is all really painting a picture, friends say, of an abusive relationship they were in on and off for the past two years. friends say it got especially turbulent lately. they broke up about a week before her death. we're also told there may have been an altercation just two weeks ago before her death but the university of virginia and the charlottesville police both tell nbc news that there are no reports on file of any domestic violence issues which begs the question, were there missed warning signs here?

that's a question the university is looking into as well. we're told yeardley love's body is now with her family on her way back to home in maryland near baltimore to try to plan final arrangement. but once again just a sad, sad story with spiraling questions coming out of it, tamron. >> jeff, thank you very much. the times square bomb suspect was just moments away from leaving this country before police nabbed him on a plane pulling out of the gate. how did he almost get away?

welcome back. there are a lot of questions about who was watching the suspect in saturday's attempted car bombing in times square and how close he came to getting away perhaps. reports indicate faisal shahzad was able to slip away from authorities watching his connecticut home monday. he then drove to kennedy airport, bought a ticket with cash, and boarded a flight to dubai even though he had been placed on the no fly list earlier monday. he was removed from the plane just before it was due to leave the gate. michael isikoff is senior investigative reporter for "newsweek." michael, we know yesterday there was a lot of praise on 53 hours from the time the car was smoking to the arrest but the reality is this has exposed us to some of those vulnerabilities that exist in the system particularly this guy was oon no fly list and got on the plane. >> right. that's something that seems inexplicable on its face. the explanation is it takes time to download the information once

somebody is put on the no fly list and it could take several hours. it used to take even a few days. so i think one of the things congress is certainly going to be looking at and i imagine the justice department and the homeland security department as well is seeing to tighten that up so there is instant communication when somebody is placed on the no fly list. >> in your article you point out fbi surveillance of shahzad broke down and he spent three hours, three hours in jfk with no one watching him. how is that possible? >> again, a very good question. no surveillance is air tight when you're -- when there's driving on new york city streets, sometimes it could be difficult to keep track. but i think people are going to be asking a lot of questions about that. now, the explanation that the federal authorities give is,

well, look. he wasn't -- we would have found him eventually. we would have caught up with him and that no surveillance is perfect. but clearly, there were some breakdowns here. also, there is a lot of questions about just what is the level of cooperation that he's given. he was portrayed as being somebody providing, began talking right away, even after, and continues even having been mirandaized but he has insisted though aek knowledge had flying overseas and getting bomb training in north waziristan he has said he acted alone in this instance. and i don't think that federal investigators believe that at this point. if you look at the affidavit presented in federal court yesterday those four phone calls from pakistan during a crucial time period while all of this was unfolding do seem to raise

some serious questions about that. >> all right. michael isikoff senior investigative reporter with "newsweek" and you've brought up even more questions that people at home certainly want answers to. thank you very much. >> thank you. more now on the attempted car bombing suspect shahzad and whether if the charges against him are true if he could change the current model or perception of what a terrorist is. authorities say shahzad claims he acted alone. as you heard michael isikoff point out. but he also says he was trained by militants in pakistan. joining me is our guest, now an msnbc terrorism analyst. thanks for coming on with us. let's talk about the fact we hear shahzad is talking. that doesn't mean he's telling the truth. >> absolutely not. and they're going to put him under polygraphs and all types of our systems to test whether he is lying or not. the nypd and fbi detectives are pretty good at that. i'm sure he is still lying at this point. >> how could it be possible he was trained at a camp and is acting alone?

in itself doesn't the training mean he is working with someone? >> absolutely. he has already admitted to being in training and obviously it wasn't very good as indicated by the bomb with all of the errors he conducted. right now there is no evidence, no sign of any other complicity. i'm sure they're going to focus on that as they want to round up any cell he might have been associated with. >> let's talk more about this image we have about what is a terrorist in this country. i want to play what retired general michael hayden had to say to savannah guthrie on the daily rundown this morning. >> for the new model, less complicated attacks, frankly attacks that would probably be less severe. attacks that are less skilled and therefore with a lower probability of success but now here is the very bad part. probably a lot more numerous and that's what we have to be prepared for. >> it's interesting. you've got the so-called underwear bomber. he was this kid on there, you know, a great background as far as his parents and now you have

this individual again who worked and lived in connecticut, a father, and he's allegedly making this bomb to explode. >> right. and with due reference to the former cia director every time there is an event like this everyone says this is some new paradigm. not really. we've had guys like this back and forth from pakistan and the united states dating back to the plot against the brooklyn bridge in 2002. zazi, the guy from denver who had been back to pakistan looking to blow up the subway system. this guy with a car bomb. if he had done this right it could have been a pretty big attack. >> we know with our airline security and even though you can certainly find holes in things that need to be improved, there are many who said that something like that could not be pulled off again and the terrorists would look for ways like car bombs or attacking our subway system. when you look at this, this is the first time it's happened in times square to this degree. >> that's right. >> what does that tell us? >> well, they'd be moving toward car bombs and not that car bombs are anything new.

the world trade center was blown up in et 3 with a truck bomb. of course american terrorists like timothy mcveigh, big truck bomb against oklahoma city. they've been focused on smaller trains and like madrid and london. this may show a trend back toward a bigger truck bomb but i think they're going to be flexible and do whatever they can to attack us. >> thank you very much. and the senate homeland security committee met this morning to find out a way to close what's called a so-called terror gap, an alarming statistic that shows suspects on the terror watch list, people on the watch list, were still able to buy guns and weapons 90% of the time they applied. new york city michael bloomberg and the new york police commissioner ray kelly were among those testifying on this today. mayor bloomberg called for the federal government to take action immediately. >> at a time when the threat of terrorism is still very real, as we in new york city know all too well, i think it's imperative that congress close this terror gap in our gun laws and close it

quickly. the car bomb the nypd found in times square on sunday night was not the only attempted terrorist attack on our city since 9/11. >> nypd commissioner kelly also testified that his agency is investigating how the prime suspect in the times square bombing attempt purchased a gun. today more than 100 firefighters and police officers are going door to door in flood-ravaged areas of nashville, tennessee to make sure people are okay. the cumberland river has started to recede and this weekend's flash flood killed ten people in nashville. in all, 30 people were killed in tennessee, mississippi, and kentucky. earlier today i spoke with the governor of tennessee by phone and asked if he'd seen anything like this before. >> this is extraordinary. this is probably in terms of flooding more than a hundred-year event here. we're surviving and will get back to normal.
