publicity surrounding the u.s. military's role in the death of osama bin laden could lead to a surge in volunteers. >> reporter: it was a history-making day for u.s. troops with osama bin laden's death coming at hand of navy s.e.a.l.s. >> if i was 40 years younger and could swim better i would be out there trying to join the navy s.e.a.l.s. >> reporter: recruiters are hoping that potential volunteers will share that sentiment for all branches of the military. outside an armed forces recruiting station in woodbridge, there's a strong feeling of pride. >> it's a great victory for the military in general. we set out to do what we accomplished and that's a great victory for us. >> it was good to than we were on top of the whole situation. it was great to than we specifically had the ability and capability to do that. >> reporter: for the past few years all branches of the armed forces have said that they have met their recruiting goals, partially due to a tight

they would not allow reporters inside and when they left they sealed the doors, but a pakistani tv station obtained some video of the inside of the house. that video taken, of course, after the u.s. military raid that killed bin laden. pakistani officials say six children of that house are now in the government's custody. the children range in age from 2 to 12 years old. now that osama bin laden is dead, the intelligence community is focused on al qaeda's future and its next leader. there is some speculation that the job will fall to bin laden's top lieutenant, ayman al zawahiri. richard engel reports. >> reporter: osama bin laden's death has likely elevated his second in command to lead al qaeda, egyptian, ayman al zawahi zawahiri. zawahiri has a longer history with islamic violence than even bin laden and he's just as dedicated to attacking the united states. 59 years old, zawahiri was raised in a middle-class cairo

suburb. he trained to be a surgeon, but was more interested in radical islam than medicine. by 1982, zawahiri was arrested in egypt in connection with the assassination of the late president anwar zad at. swa what hiry was linked to killing zad at, but he was hardened and wanted revenge for torts you are. he led a group called egyptian, islamic jihad. over time, zawahiri's ambitions improve. he made an alliance with bin laden. author hamid mir interviewed osama bin laden three times including after 9/11. he says al qaeda remains dangerous under zawahiri. yes, al qaeda and its allies are not dead. the world is still a very unsafe place. >> reporter: like bin laden the united states has been tracking zawahiri and tried to kill him six times.

perhaps because of his medical background ayman al zawahiri has long expressed an interest in using chem kohl and biological weapons. richard engel, benghazi. ayman al zawahiri is not a shoo-in. the official said za what hiry is not popular within the organization and is not charismatic and has a reputation for arrogance. senate majority leader harry reid has dislocated his right shoulder. harry reid is 71 years old now. he was taking a break outside while it was still wet. he twowent to lean on a car and slipped. he was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released. he was later seen wearing a sling. an aide says reid received a bump the side of a golf ball lo above his left eye from the fall, but he'll be just fine.

this could be the biggest flood in history coming into parts of the area and beating the old floods by more than two feet and this is simply amazing and most of this area, the same area that was affected by the tornadoes last week. >> out there right now we're dealing with cloud cover, but also some blue skies, but intermixed you also see a couple of showers out there this evening. most of us won't remain on the dry side and we're looking at a pretty nice evening and kind of a pretty shot there and the shower, let's go back to the tower cam really fast. you will see a shower right there, right along the potomac river and there is rain right now falling on the camera. you could see the rain right there. how about that. there's the tower cam shot right across the studios in northwest and we will ton see very light showers around the rest of the area over the next couple of hours and then once the sun goes down those showers will be out of here. one thing you look at as you look at the wider view, you don't see a whole lot, but all

you have to do is zoom in just a little bit. >> one little shower around leesburg, coming right toward the city of alexandria and into the southern portions of washington. we will continue to see that right along the potomac river making its way to the south and east very slowly. these showers will be very, very quick and not going to amount to a whole lot of rain and not going to get the umbrella out, but for 15 minutes. also right around frederick maryland over toward damascus and mount erie, just again, just extremely light showers. the wide view of the temperatures, 55. we're starting to cool off already. winds out of the north-northeast at 13 miles an hour and that is coming out even at the airport. 57 in manassas, 57 and a cool 54 degrees back toward martinsburg. >> 49 in pittsburgh. that shows you the cool air. west virginia, 47 degrees and cool air will continue to spill in.

here ate rain we had this morning and created a pretty messy rush hour and a very cool start to our wednesday. we're waiting for this area of low pressure. it's an upper level low that's spinning back here and that's what's producing some showers and it will also help to clear out the atmosphere and that will allow temperatures to cool down and we're looking at a very cool morning and if not a cold morning but by tomorrow afternoon the cooler air moves off and we'll see plenty of sunshine along with an area of high pressure and that means a pretty nice thursday. before our next chance of rain moves in with yet another frontal boundary and that front moving through during the day on friday and maybe a couple of thunderstorms and nothing strong or severe. this evening, mostly cloudy, continued cool and breezy. dropping down to 52 degrees and a couple of isolated showers and winds out of the northwest at 15 to 20 miles an hour. tomorrow morning, get out the coats and the kids will need the coats at the bus stop. mostly clear, 38 to 43 degrees.

little dreary. let's just hope we have a nice weekend. >> tomorrow is the kind of day that a lot of coats get lost. >> you start off cold in the morning and send them off to school with their coats on and then never see them again. >> for at least eight years. >> and then some in some cases. >> even more. coming up, mayor gray asked to pick sides when the question of where to build a metro stop at dulles airport. >> a local mother's crusade is not like any other on this coming mother's day. >> my mission in life is to find out who killed my son and why. >> and a couple claim they had a reason to keep their child in a cage. coming up in sport, the capitals face elimination in florida. also what coach bruce boudreau says about his job status and in ♪

compelling one to continue this under ground. when you think about the fact that it would be there for decades and decades i realize that the costs are substantial, up front, but when you start to amortize that over the period of time that the station would be there you start to see that it probably makes good economic sense. >> mayor gray says there have been no conversations among the jurisdictions about sharing the additional cost of that project. it was a defining moment for an entire generation. a new survey done by american university finds seven out of ten millennials say their lives were changed by the september 11th attacks, but as chris gordon reports, this marks a turning point for quite a few in that age group. usa! >> reporter: sunday night in front of the white house it was a group on mostly young people singing patriotic songs and waving flags after the announcement that osama bin laden had been killed. >> i got to see my story come to

return to philadelphia. ham ils only gave up one run as the nationals lose 4-1. the pitching in philly was good, but the one in chicago even better. twins against the white sox, three out from a no-hitter. brent morel hits a ground ball to short, matt tolbert fields it and a short throw to first and justin makes a sweet pick. mariano thinking aye, aye, aye, a little too close for comfort there, but thank you. needs one more out. adam dunn lines one to short. the game is over and the twins win 1-0, his first career no-hitter. he walked six batters and only struck out two, but he did not give up a hit. it's also the first no-hitter thrown this season and a memorable night for francisco moriano. the executive was named sport -- as his heat 2 took a two-game lead in the best serve

lead last night. the boston celtic his been told by the head coach, don't go golfing, get your mind away from the game. he hopes a mental break might help turn things around before saturday's game three. dwayne wade and the miami heat don't love having four days off, but they'll take it. second quarter, mime up 41-38, the heat work down the court, take a look at that. dwayne wade muscled up and around, that was pretty, wasn't it? a total of 28 points on the night for him and look at how pumped up he and lebron are after that. miami leads by just two. they turn it over, wade to lebron. you can see the adrenaline dripping off of james. take another look. lebron james propels himself to the rim and the heat win 102-91, next game, saturday. today los anges clippers guard blake griffin was named nba reek of the year.

he was the first player to be unanimously voted in 21 years to that honor. there's also news about griffen's opponent. the big man, jofel mcgee tweeted he is no longer responding to his own name. he has a new one, in fact. mcgee was impressed in two -- it wasn't good enough to win the contest, but it was memorable. >> recently he tweeted that his alter ego is pierre and if you see him out he's only going to be answering to that. he said pierre is the smooth operator and the monster you've grown to know on the court. i'm happy for jofel because it's cool to have a french name. i just think they should win first. >> before they start taking on new person as. >> it's hike hibachi. >> change his name if he wants to. >> but give me a double-double every now and again. >> give me a highlight like that

and it's cool. just know if you see him out there, pierre. >> pierre. >> now we know. thank you, lindsay. coming up, tornado victims reconnecting with some treasures lost miles away. >> for all your news we invite honestly... you're exactly who we want for this position.

that's great news. thank you. ( toilet flushing ) i'm sorry. my wife and i, we have an alert for each time we pay a checking fee. reminds us where our money's going. touch the ball. get rid of checking fees. get electric orange checking, from ing direct. no "you're not rich enough fees." no "fee of the month fees." because we don't like fees. better ?

better.

security cameras inside a police station in mississippi captured a frightening scene last week when a tornado bore down on the building. seven people took shelter inside the station when the storm hit. >> whoa! >> you could see the twister ring the roof right off the carport. those powerful winds also shattered windows throughout the building and threw debris all over the place. there were some minor injuries, but everybody inside that building survived. people cleaning up from the storms are making personal discoveries. photos and documents from storm victims were ripped from their homes and in some cases carried hundreds of miles away. jay watson has more on a facebook page trying to reunite victims with their trishes. the documents on this week-old facebook page were discovered from mississippi to tennessee. people wrote they found them in

their yards along the side of the road, under their front porches and because we know the intrinsic value of an image that can't be repeated or replaced, they're posted here in hopes of being reunited with their owners. the photos likely torn from homes of some people in these pictures give us glimpses into the lives of stangers whose stories are similar to our own, that prom so long ago, then the wedding, the firstborns and the first baths. there are goofy photos, even birthday cards, prescriptions and canceled checks. and in many cases sad connections are being made between the people in these photos and what happened to them. many people are writing in the comment section of this photo of a boy and girl hiding that they're a brother and sister in ringgold who were killed in the tornado and the woman who found the photo lives in knoxville, tennessee, more than 100 miles away. they're how we tell the stories of our lives, what we've done,

where we've been, who we've loved. they are memories made permanent and they are here waiting to be reclaimed. >> if you'd like to take a closer look, the facebook page is called photos and documents from the april 27th tornadoes. >> a final check, doug. still one or two showers out there, but about 99.7% of us are going to stay dry this evening and we'll see those skies clearing out. one of those showers in the southern portion of prince georges county and another one on the board of montgomery and howard county and that will be about it. as you look outside right now, 54 degrees and we've gone up a couple of degrees since the showers did come through the washington area, just a little while ago, but tonight, look at this. down to 59 by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, 46 by 7:00 a.m. and we will see mostly sunny skies as we wake up and that will help temperatures to bump up to 69 during the day tomorrow and a

bit on the breezy side.windy and 7 on friday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. we can't rule out an isolated shower or storm either day. temperatures, 70 degrees or better. most of mother's day is looking pretty good. >> that sounds good. >> thank you, doug. here in washington, the cherry blossom festival has come and gone, but over in japan those trees are now in full bloom. the cherry blossom festival started on april 23rd in japan. the crowds were small at first, but the number of tourists continues to grow over there. at night, the park is illuminated with each blossom almost growing in the dark. all of the lights down there, it was wonderful. >> part of the admission fee to see the blots oms in the park will be donated to earthquake and tsunami disaster relief efforts. >> they are marveus
