the other link is to a man named mahmoud al sunidal.t of this war lord and islamic extremist who was killed back in may of 2012. so what we see happening here is the creation of the timeline where russian counterterrorism forces are really going after these rebels who are in the mountains. so you have first the death of mahmoud and whether those two deaths influenced tsarnaev to get out of dagestan is what they're looking at right now. there's been no confirmation that he midwest met specifically with these people, but they are were in the right place at the right time, trying to link him there. >> that could be another crucial link. and another one is this. the mysterious misha. you heard the name by now. he is said to have influenced tamerlan tsarnaev and reportedly has come forward saying he had no role in the blood shed. his denial comes at the same time the cnn has learned the fbi has interviewed the man, misha, from rhode island about his ties to the tsarnaev family.

live so of course this left a lot of palestinians incredibly angry and of course there is you can see their sentiments were best expressed by the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. we have sent a letter of complaint to the israeli government and to all the international institutions regarding this unfair action that israel calls the death of my sorrow . in prison we will continue our struggle to free prisoners and i ask you to read a funeral prayer for the minister for prisoner affairs of palestinian authority has also has also called on the international community for ford in. internationally led investigation into the death of the palestinian prisoner of course still people are outraged you have to understand this is the second palestinian prisoner to die in an israeli jail in two months in february a thirty year old man died in israeli jails from a heart attack that has also spurned a lot of protest so we're really at this very uneasy period in the in the in the middle eastern conflict situation and we're watching it very closely because we can expect more clashes to be happening in the west in the west bank in palestinian territories as well as on the

may have had, tamerlan, some connection with a man of mixed dagestani and palestinian parentage who is being watched by the russian security services, mahmoud nadal. he was also killed in a shootout with russian security forces. the more we hear about this, the less comfortable, i would imagine, authorities on both sides are feeling about the fact that tamerlan tsarnaev has gone back for six months and not been picked up by almost anybody despite the fact he may have been consorting openly, it seems, with some quite militant jihadists. >> well, also, if this newspaper, russian newspaper report is accurate and a lot of the russian investigative journalists have done very good work in chechnya and dagestan, for those that have been critical of the russian government, it's cost them their lives. but particularly interesting, if tamerlan went to a russian agency to get a passport to replace his passport, you would think that all kinds of red flags would have gone off if they didn't catch him on the flight in. so you would think that the russians were very much watching what he was doing, but they may not have. they may have missed it and i susp
