a man was arrested near gibraltar on the spanish border in the south. that has led to reports that the target could have been the british military presence there. two others were arrested as they tried to cross into france which is near a u.s. military base leading to speculation they may have been targeting the olympics or another military site the can you cross the bodier in europe but going into britain it is another matter because you need the right documents. these three individuals appear to be part of what we recorded on al qaeda 2.0. they do not look like the typical recruit and could be converts and of european descent. >>shepard: thank you, catherine. there was all kinds of weirdness on wall street yesterday morning. it sent chaos through the place. now they tell us it was a computer glitch. an example of technology's power to turn the markets upside down. here is what happened: millions of computer generated trades sent dozens of stocks shooting way up and other stocks tanked in a matter of a few seconds yesterday at the open. the trading vol

plot perhaps to target an american naval base in southern spain or perhaps british interests in gibraltar. that's the working hypothesis of national security sources right now. but also concerns that this group, this alleged terrorist cell may have been plotting against targets in france, maybe elsewhere in europe as well. this was a group which had obtained explosives, and the spanish were very concerned they were about to go operational, and that's why these arrests were made, brooke. >> these men, we know, one believed to be turkish, one believed to be russian, chechnyan. do we know which cells specifically the police believe they had ties to? >> the spanish are saying this group may have been had ties to a pakistani militant group called lashkar-e-tayyiba. this is the group responsible for the 2008 mumbai attacks when almost 200 people were killed. it is not a group that has launched a plot yet against the west, and this may be the first instance of that. it's a very powerful jihadist group based in pakistan. so if that link is concerned with, it will be of deep concern to u.s. counte
