identification, there's value in doing so. >> they are asking questions about pakistan and what terrorism officials knew about bin laden who had been living there for years. >> now navy seals seized five computers, and more than 100 storage devices. we're told the cia is already pouring over those dozensover documents, dvd's, and thumb drives. lesli and anita. >> how are critics questioning how they could have been in the dark about where bin laden was living in this affluent area with so much military around. >> first of all, nobody admits to knowing bin laden was in that area. not the government, not army, not even the neighbors. pakistan now says it is deeply concerned about the unauthorized u.s. attack.

coworkers on 9/11. and his injuries were so severe he could have retired on worker's comp, but that's the last thing he wanted to do. >> bin laden, you know, he changed my life for ever. i can never go back to being who i was. i wouldn't let him win because if i didn't go back to work, then he would accomplished what he wanted. >> reporter: now john yates says he would not be a burden to society. as long as he could work mentally and physically, he would. john yates is the last seriously injuried survivor of the pentagon attacks to still be working here. lesli. >> he is one courageous man. peggy thank you. we have much more on the killing of osama bin laden coming up. how do we talk to our children about the death of the al-qaeda leader and sought after terrorist? we'll take a closer look in just under 30 minutes. it could also be a stormy evening in parts of our area. topper, what's it look like?

hit the hardest. 80 right now downtown. 81 in gaithersburg. 79 in manassas. these temperatures are going to be a distant memory. here's the deal. thunderstorms possible until midnight. some could be heavy. some could be severe. the greatest threat is west. wet commute tomorrow morning. prepare for that and prepare for a much cooler day on wednesday. we're going to lose 20 degrees. for tonight, breezy, cooler. thunderstorms are going to rain. 50 to 55. winds northwesterly. by morning, rain will taper off. it will be a wet commute. temperatures in the 50s and by afternoon, partial clearing, a dry commute home, but cool. high temperatures around 60. all right. next seven days. some clouds still linger on thursday and we have showers friday and saturday. in fact, we are unsettled into the weekend, but nothing is a block buster storm. warms up saturday. a little bit sunday. warmer for mom. a few thunderstorms possible, but not washout days and back to 80 next tuesday.

>> okay. thanks a lot. >> all right. well you know brett couldn't be here today. he's enjoying the sunny temperatures, 80 degrees. he's in florida. >> no. >> he's standing up. >> that's right. it's so much pressure and they are not at home, brett. >> yeah, i know. i hate to correct you. it's not 80. it's 87 degrees. >> pardon me. closer to 90. >> i hate to be a stickler for the accuracy. listen. you need to get 16 wins in the playoffs to hoist the stanley cup. right now the capitals are stuck on 4. if they don't get number five tonight, there's a good chance that the two-month  playoff run is going to get cut short after three weeks. but they say that every team needs to go through a little adversity along the way. the caps are having theirs right now. so, how bad is losing the first two games at home? >> we're not exactly in the

garden spot, but the same time we are not death yet. >> if however they lose tonight, the grim reaper will be hovering. but the caps have been through some things this year. remember that eight-game losing streak in december? surviving things like that builds character. >> we have been through a lot and you know, we know what to expect of ourselves and there's no doubt in our mind that we can come back. and they can, only if they solve their power play rhythm. the caps scored 18% of the time when they had the advantage. in this series, 0 for 11 and you don't win cups like that. >> power play scores, that's the difference between the games right there. we score two out of six and it's a different game. >> we have seen it on tape where we can expose some scenes. >> for all their deficiencies, if the caps can scrape together a win tonight, perhaps doubt starts to creep into the tampa

bay locker room and doubt does funny things to a team trying to close out a series. >> maybe we have some momentum. played back to back nights and make it tough on them again wednesday. you never know what can happen. >> because the lightning may be up 2-0, but the rules clearly state. >> so confidence remains high in the capitals dressing room. we are back here and i wanted to introduce you to the lightning girls. i have brittany and megan and marissa. i don't have any particular reason for having them on the show. except if ted is watching, maybe one for the suggestion box, maybe the capitals aught to do something like this. i'm just speaking out of turn. we are live in tampa. >> thank you for your candor. >> lift people's spirits.

>> go team. we'll see you later tonight. up next, though, a workout in a flash. the first lady takes a different approach to her let's move campaign. and coming up new at 6:00. >> officially they do not exist. but coming up at 6:00, we will take you inside the virginia based navy seal team that took out bin laden. i'm peggy fox with momslikeme.com. did you see the 60 minutes interview with lara logan? in her first television interview since being sexually assaulted, she reveals what happened to her. she wanted to break the silence about what many women experience and don't report. what do you think about her decision to share the story? join the discussion on momslikeme.com.

noise for our first lady? mrs. michelle obama. >> i know all of you love beyonce, right? pop star beyonce remixed this stong and made a special video to support the first lady's let's move campaign against childhood obesity. the 6, 7th, and 8th greeders have been practicing the moves in their physical education classes getting ready for this big day. but music in general transformed the whole concept of gym class. >> we change the way we do things with exercise and making sure our kids are moving. so we use music as part of the get up and moving, regardless of what activities we are doing. >> this is way more fun than sitting in front of the tv, am i right? >> with lyrics like mission one, let me see you run, and a little sweat ain't never hurt nobody to move your body supports the kind of vigorous heart pumping exercise that is

needed to help kids stay fit or shed extra pounds. >> we can't just sit around in our houses all day and that starts with everybody helping out as a community to get our kids more active. >> and these students were certainly inspired by seeing the first lady herself in motion. >> watching her dance and stuff, what do you think of her? >> she's great. she is an excellent role model. >> she was moving, i tell you. the national association of broadcasters is helping distribute move your body and an instruction video. if you want to learn the video, we have a link on the health page of our website. thanks for joining us for 9news now at 5:00. 9news now at 6:00 starts right now. we provided a great deal of information with great haste in order to inform you and through you, the american public. some of the information is being reviewed. >> tonight, new and
