7:03 am
reserve. >> a suspect from bangladesh is being held without bail. he's accused of trying use a of weapons of mass destruction and providing material to support al qaeda. john mill ear former fbi deputy director is with us. >> good morning, norah. this was a dark and bold plot to target a crowded street in the heart of the financial district to unleash a massive explosion to kill hundreds and strike at the symbol of the u.s. economy but from almost the start the co-conspiratorsing worked spotted. quazi mohammad nafis arrived to study cyber security. yesterday he placed what he believed to be a 1,000 pound truck bomb in front of the federal reserve bank in new york city three blocks from ground zero. >> he came here in january of this year. he got a student visa under the pretext of being a student at a
7:04 am
college in missouri. he comes here with the purpose of committing some sort of jihad here in the united states. >> according to the fbi, on wednesday morning, nafis drove the van. he recorded a video to claim responsibility for the attack. he was arrested in the hotel with a cellular phone that he believed to be a detonator. in court documents the fbi said nafis told the undercover agent i just want something big, something very big that will shake the whole country, that will make us one step closer to run the whole world. on wednesday night federal agents were seen carrying out boxes of evidence from his apartment, where his neighbors were stunned by the news. >> i'm just horrified about this news. i had no idea that whoever this
7:05 am
guy is would do that. >> in conversations recorded by the fbi, nafis allegedly said he admired the american born cleric anwar al awlaki, the man who inspired the underwear bomber and the fort hood shooter and even after anwar al awlaki was killed in a u.s. drone strike his magazine called "inspired" supplied nafis with the outlines for his plot. >> there are still individuals and groups, indeed, around the world who have bought into the al qaeda narrative, who have some kind of vague blueprint in their mind which involves new york and the united states and explosives and to wish to do harm. >> now this investigation is ongoing. the fbi is still talking to at least five friends and associates of the suspect. one man who voiced his support during the plotting of a violent act for nafis's plans to engaging terrorism was picked up in san diego late yesterday afternoon. he faces deportation proceedings. this is still unfolding.
7:06 am
>> he may or may not have been acting alone? >> that's a big question because his own statements are that he was already in contact with an al qaeda network before he arrived in the united states. so it opens the question and they will delve into this now, was he by himself or was he part of a met work? did somebody send him or did he just show up? >> what do we know about the bomb he wanted to use? >> this is a 1,000-pound bomb. through the tapes you hear him saying i want something big, big. compare that to the 1993 world trade center bomb about the same size, in the sub basement, tore three three levels of concrete garages up to the level of the lobby. this would have been a massive amount. >> it would never work. >> right. >> john miller thank. now to the race for the white house. governor mitt romney's reference to binders full of well have democrats on athe tack and
7:07 am
republicans push back. they are fighting for female voters in the important swing states. jan crawford is in washington this morning. >> reporter: good morning. romney meant to say binders of women resumes but that was a pretty important word that he left out and let me tell you it took off like wildfire yesterday. we heard about it all day on the campaign trail and if at times it seemed romney and the president were only talking to half of their audiences maybe that's because they were. from president obama in iowa -- >> when young women graduate they should get equal pay for equal work. >> reporter: to mitt romney in virginia. >> there's 3.6 million more women in poverty today. >> reporter: they spent wednesday trying to connect with women, reacting to a moment from tuesday's debate that went viral. during a conversation on equal pay romney recalled his search as massachusetts governor for qualified women advisers. >> i went to a number of women's
7:08 am
groups and asked them to help us find them. they broke us binders of women. >> reporter: that hit some the wrong way and overnight his binders of women comment caught fire. much as another image, big bird did in the last debate. the binders now have a facebook page, a twitter account, thousands of google images and even inspired spirit airlines to launch an online promotion. it also gave the obama campaign ammunition. >> we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified talented driven young women. >> the idea here to go ahead and ask where a qualified woman was, he should have come to my house. >> reporter: the binder buzz comes as recent polls shows romney closing the gender gap against president obama. romney fought back yesterday by attacking the president's record on the economy. >> this is a presidency that has not helped america's women. as i go across the country in a
7:09 am
ask women what can i do to help, what they speak about day in and day out help me find a good job. >> reporter: romney's push for women's voters includes a new ad that is intended to counter criticism and create misconceptions on his views on social issues. >> romney doesn't oppose contraception at all. he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape or incest or to save a mother's life. >> reporter: in addition to that outreach to women voters, it was almost like hostility we saw in the debate and last night romney's oldest sonntag wei tag in. >> i'll ask something i want to know a lot of people want to know. what is it like for you to hear the president of the united states call your dad a liar. how do you react to that? >> jump out of your seat and you want to rush down the debate
7:10 am
stage and take a swing at him. but you know you can't do that because well first because there's a lot of secret service between you and him. >> reporter: some thought the secret service was going to have to jump up on stage and brake it up. >> president obama is ready to play chicken on the edge of the government's fiscal cliff. >> "the washington post" reports he plans to veto any bill to head off automatic tax cuts and spending cuts unless republicans agree to raise tax rates for families make being more than $250,000 a year. bill plante is at the white house. what your hearing? >> reporter: good morning. our sources says the white house has sent word to capitol hill that the president is determined to get rid of those bush tax cuts for families make being over $250,000 a year. and that is something he's been promising for four years and he's willing to use his veto power to do it. i mean look whether or not he wins in november the president is in the driver's seat after the election. if he wins he'll have a strong
7:11 am
negotiating hand with congress to get higher revenues. if he loses, he could assure the tax rates go up for everyone before mitt romney takes office. now house speaker john boehner told members on a call yesterday he hasn't even talked to the president about the fiscal cliff since july. but he reportedly also told him nothing is going to happen until after they see the outcome of the election and don't look for a quick sweeping overhaul, it's likely to be an incremental temporary measure. norah, charlie. >> as we saw in tuesday's debate the killing of chris stevens has become part of the presidential race. his father said he hates the idea his son's death has become a political football. stevens mother talks to ben tracey about her son's legacy and what the government is telling her about his death. >> my name is chris stevens and i'm the new ambassador to libya.
7:12 am
>> reporter: the world knows chris stevens as a fearless ambassador. >> i was thrilled to watch the libyan people to stand up and demand their reits. >> reporter: mary commanday knew chris stevens as her son. >> and he was cheerful, positive thinking person. and he was intelligent enough to know how to balance that with doing good work. >> how much did you worry about his safety? >> i asked him about it. i said it seems pretty dangerous over there, chris. he said -- well, he said he had body guards and trusted his body guards. >> did he ever express any concerns about his own personal safety? >> no. >> never. >> they go running with me. they are always around. >> reporter: but that security she felt was enough is now in question. even in three other americans were killed when terrorists attacked the consulate in benghazi on september 11th. >> you don't turn national security into a political issue. >> reporter: during tuesday's presidential debate the killings
7:13 am
in libya became a heated argument. mitt romney said the obama administration misled the american people by saying first the attacks was part of a spontaneous demonstration. >> it's very clear this was not a demonstration, this was an attack by terrorists and this calls into question the president's whole policy in the middle east. >> the suggestion that anybody in my team, the secretary of state, or u.n. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. >> reporter: the mother of sean smith who was also killed in the attack added fuel to fire when she told cnn's anderson cooper she doesn't trust what little the administration is telling her. >> look at tv and i see bloody hand prints on walls thinking my god is that my son's? i don't know if he was shot. i don't know -- i don't know. they haven't told me anything. they are still studying it.
7:14 am
and the things that they are telling me are just outright lies. >> i don't think it's productive to lay blame on people. >> reporter: mary commanday doesn't want to talk about the politics surrounding her son's death. the family held a memorial service in san francisco this week to remember ambassador stevens, even though they don't yet fully understand exactly how he died. >> my big brother, my best friend, i'll see you next time. >> are you getting any sort of update or communication from the white house? >> no. >> nothing? >> no? >> do you feel your questions have been answered? >> you have to know something in order to have questions about it. i don't know enough really to ask questions. >> how much does it matter to you to know? >> well, it doesn't bring him back, does it? >> reporter: for her this is not about politics it's about a mother losing her son. for cbs "this morning," ben

7:17 am
marketing. in 2010 any kae signed a five year deal to pour at least $7.5 million in profits from its iconic livestrong brand into the foundation. nike said it would continue to support foundation initiatives, but due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that lance armstrong participated in doping and mislid nike for more than a decade, it had no choice but to terminate the contract. two others said they were out as well. souring the mood around lance armstrong multimillion headquarters set to celebra their 15th anniversary this weekend. armstrong said he and his family plan to continue their service to the foundation and cancer community but there's no question in the short term livestrong's motto unity is strength will be tested. >> thank you. new economic protests in athens,

7:44 am
not that that was really a moment year thing but it's sort of like how are you hair gets too long in one day. it takes a long time for it happen but you only notice it at it was that moment when derek jeter went down with an ankle injury. once the captain was gone it showed everybody what had been going on with this team over time. they had invested in some high priced free agents. and really kind of put all of their eggs in these big baskets, and when they all came up empty at once, it just kind of showed the rogression of this team and where they are at. >> a-rod is a great player. hats happened to his game, his hitting? >> well, that's a $30 million a year question, really. everybody would love to know. >> i mean you pay that kind of money for people to perform, to be the boys of october. >> clearly. in 2009 he was the boy of october. it's kind of the one season he's hanging his hat on.

military that's bigger than all the rest of the military budgets of the world put together, 15 times as much as the budget of china or russia. i think that's wrong and it's wasteful. and i think it's time that people started getting along with one another and treating each other with dignity, respect and friendliness the way you and i do with everybody. and try even make the world work and pull together rather than all this conflict. and the conflict even goes to the debates. i think congressmen and senators and certainly presidents deserve our respect and they deserve to be treated respectfully. >> what happened? that's not the atmosphere in washington. >> well, that's why -- it upsets me. i would like to see us go back to where the republicans and democrats put americans first and members of their party
