>> reporter: the biggest blow to al qaeda there in pakistan since the killing of osama bin laden more than a year ago. this was the number two. an al qaeda operative by the name of abu yahya al libi. he escaped from an afghanistanen prison and returned to pakistan to carry out or planning at least for al qaeda operations. actually, he was killed by a cia drone strike on monday, yesterday. but just last week, he had been apparently, according to pakistani officials, wounded in an earlier drone strike. so the cia was clearly focusing in on al libi. the issue here, however, is that al qaeda central there in pakistan really doesn't have the kind of organization or strength it once had to enable itself to carry out any significant

attacks, particularly against the u.s. so despite the death of al libi today, which is a considerable blow to al qaeda there in pakistan, the number one threat from al qaeda remains al qaeda in yemen and ibrahim al nas siree, the master bomb maker who has attempted three times previously to attack u.s. targets, jim. >> can you tell us about anything, what this might do to relations with pakistan? they were upset about drone strikes. >> reporter: the pakistani parliament passed a law prohibiting u.s. drone strikes there inside pakistan. so the obama administration has made it clear -- including president obama, who often makes a decision on individuals that are targeted by these drone strikes. they've made it clear that despite protestations from pakistan, ongoing troubles, including the fact that pakistan

is closed down those supply routes into afghanistan for american weapons in afghanistan. the white house, the administration, president obama, has made it clear, despite those protestati protestations, the u.s. will continue to strike against al qaeda targets as they did in this case. >> jim mcla shev ski. thank you. the former penn state assistant football coach is accused of sexually abusing ten young boys. so far, six jurors have been selected from a pool of more than 200. lawyers have the difficult task of finding an impartial panel. brian moore is live in bell font, pennsylvania, with the latest. brian. >> reporter: doreen, that has changed in just the last couple of minutes. we now are learning that nine jurors have been seated. that's 9 of the 16 needed to get trial off. very surprising to everybody out

here. perhaps not so surprising to the judge who wants to see opening statements start on monday. day one of jury selection in jerry sandusky's sex abuse trial. the former penn state coach appeared subdued as he entered the courthouse. >> at one point, the judge reminded the jury pool why they were there. he said, need you to all have an open mind. this defendant is charged with the sexual abuse of children. at that point, sandusky looked down and did not make eye contact. >> reporter: today marked the beginning of what was expected to be a drawn-out narrowing process but the judge has seated six jurors by midafternoon. >> when he asked the jurors where they worked 14, indicated they are employed by or retired from penn state. then they were asked if any knew jerry personally and four people held up cards. >> reporter: sandusky faces 52 criminal counts for the alleged abuse of ten boys.

some on the penn state campus. some members of a charity for at-risk youth. disspeed espite intense media c the judge decided jurors will be allowed to come and go from their own homes. >> he reminded them and he said, i quote, the people selected to be jurors in this case hold justice in their hands. >> reporter: the first steps in what could be a long road to justice. so far, nine jurors chosen out of the 16 needed. extraordinary range. one of them said to be a woman who never watches the news. another one of them, an actual penn state student who worked in the sports department and knows several of the key figures involved in this case. live in bell font, pennsylvania, i'm brian moore. now back to you. >> thank you, brian. now to a federal probe involving d.c. council chairman kwame brown. he spoke out today about the ongoing ethics probe that are

becoming a big distraction in d.c. government. more on what the chairman had to say. >> reporter: kwame brown called this press conference himself this afternoon. and he made three major points. number one, he said, that he does not plan to resign. number two, he said he didn't break any laws. number three, he said that he was concerned that this had created such a distraction. he said he would not specifically address the federal criminal investigation surrounding his 2008 campaign. he did take questions from reporters. and he said he apologized, there's been so much distraction on a day that the city council passed a major budget, that all of the reporters wanted to talk about today was kwame brown. >> i have no plans to resign. so i don't -- i have no plans at this time to resign. i don't think i broke any laws in the 2008 campaign.

i apologize. shouldn't have any distractions. they should be focused on what we're doing with health care. what we're doing with making sure our kids go to college. unfortunately, we're not doing that. i think -- i feel responsible for it. >> reporter: highlighting some of the tensions today, a reporter claimed that kwame brown shoved him into a wall this morning when he tried to ask him some questions regarding this investigation. brown admitted there had been an incident but said he didn't do anything maliciously. earlier today, the mayor had a press conference where he announced his selection for the new ethics board, naming three people. now, that is not a done deal. those three folk, including the former attorney general here in the district, those folks now have to go before the council before they can be seated.

through a translator, she told the judge she had no time to react. said chavez, i woke up and i was laying on the grass and i saw the lady holding my hand and she told me not to move. i told her i wanted to see where my son was. asked the prosecutor, did you ever see your son again there? no, replied chavez. her defense attorney says they'll try to show his actions don't constitute manslaughter. said the lawyer, this case really is a tragedy. it's sad but it was an accident. this trial's expected to wrap up tomorrow. he also faces charges of drunk driving and drivie ining withou license. his trial is expected to conclude tomorrow. a possible meth lab at a hotel. they were called to the holiday inn express in elk ridge late last night. reports of a strange odor. they entered the room and arrested five men.

season. morse doesn't have a hit yet but he's feeling good. more importantly, he's fully healthy. it's just a matter of time before he gets back on track. >> i feel pretty good. i played two games so far. i'm not really thinking too much about it. i'm seeing the ball good. i'm recognizing pitches. my swing feels close. it could be one swing. i could wake up in the morning or would knows. >> the off-speed stuff toughest because it's different than when you're in rehab? >> absolutely. that's the thing, it's not only recognizing it but just reacting to it. and i think the last thing that comes when you start getting your swing back is laying off the good ones from the bad ones. having him, you know, it doesn't really matter, having those guys

in our lineup is huge. >> bryce harper on michael morse. when i asked johnson, when he thought morse was going to bust out. or how long it would take him to find his groove. he said, i expect him to get on a roll tonight. we'll have to wait and see. morse definitely feeling good. moving on, we're talking nba playoffs and a week ago it seemed like the spurs were going to be rolling to the nba finals. then a lead over the thunder. they were riding a 20-game win streak. then oklahoma city now looks like the most talented team in all of basketball. the spurs just can't stop them. okc now has a 3-2 lead in the western conference finals over the san antonio spurs. ginobili usually coming off the bench for the spurs making his first prayoff start and he stepped up. in the third quart, the triple
