7:05 am
has yielded results. fbi and british investigators have deployed a variety of techniques, including face and voice analysis and the study of the terrain at the scene. >> i think it's going to be extremely difficult to locate him until we degrade their operations a little further. >> reporter: the fbi director also confirmed that two men in this new isis propaganda video are the focus of an intense investigation. the reason? they appear to be speaking in north american accents, meaning potential threats to the homeland. isis would be looking to respond to u.s. military action. quote, if anything, it increases their desire i'm sure to find a way to strike here. and there was a warning about the khorasan, the spin off of al qaeda in syria, planning to attack aircraft with undetectable bombs. he says the plan to attack

7:08 am
but has been charged with assault and battery. the arrest warrant calling the shooting unlawful and without justification. >> you said get my license. >> reporter: gruber has entered a plea of not guilty. his attorney telling reporters jones was aggressively reaching for the license, leading him to believe it was a firearm and making him fear her his life and the safety of others. in 2012, gruber was involved in another shooting at a traffic stop after the suspect shot first. and he was given an award for that. now he could face up to 20 years behind bars. >> this is why dash cam video is so crucial. it's very expensive for many police departments to have that. for both sides, for the police officer and those pulled aside, helps. >> such a crucial story there. now to amy with the other top developing stories. we begin with breaking news
