the attacks were carefully planned. >> my name is ali mohamed. >> reporter: this man, ali mohamed, wasl qaeda operative. he married a californian in 1985 and became an american citizen. he joined the u.s. army. >> at the same time that he was a u.s. army sergeant and actually working at special forces headquarters in fort bragg, north carolina he was also intimately involved with al qaeda, training bin laden's bodyguards. >> ali mohammed had done what they call casing of the american embassy in nairobi in december of 1993. a five-year span between casing and operation. >> reporter: and listen to what ali mohammed said in a u.s. court. >> my surveillance files and photographs were reviewed by osama bin laden. bin laden looked at the picture of the american embassy and pointed to where a truck could go as a suicide bomber. >> reporter: shortly after the terrorist attacks on the two u.s. embassies this man, abdul raheem al nashiri, approached bin laden with a new scheme. two years of planning followed. on october 7th, 2000, in the yemeni port of aden, two al qaeda suicide bombers steered

region as is iran, and that is something they are known for throughout the region and the world, ali. >> mohammedthis cleric who was executed along with other what they call terrorists in saudi arabia, saudis view of this, he lived in saudi arabia, he was under saudi authority. what did they accuse him of and why did they execute him? >> they excused him of trying destabilize the monarchy in saudi arabia. the reason for that in 2011 when the arab spring began you did have protests erupting in the predominantly shia province, oil rich province, closer to iran than other parts of the country. the cleric who was executed at times called for even seceding, from the rest of saudi arabia, called for the expansion of rights. he was a very well-known prominent dissident in saudi arabia. and you know that's something that's not receive accepted in i arabia. he crossed numerous lines in saudi arabia in the eastern province and because of that the saudi arabian regime thought he was breaking allegiance with king abdalla the late king and then they charged hip with actually trying to destabilize the country

it's like i said about mohammed ali. he used to say if you can do it, it ain't bragging. and, listen, if he wins the super bowl, it's not bragging. he's a young man who's got a lot of confidence. ernie: he does. russ: like ali, he's a good-looking guy, the whole package. ernie: do you think this will go anywhere or just fade? what do you think is going to happen? russ: i don't think it's going anywhere. today, to me you have to be careful and responsible for what you say. as we know, you can talk about the oscars, you can talk about everyday life, you can talk about ferguson. race talk creates sparks and it can ignite flames. he's a guy now in a position of prominence. he's becoming a bigger and bigger star every day. so when you say something, people listen to you. i'm just saying pick your spots. i'll never criticize somebody for saying how they feel. i get to do it now and then. ernie: that's right. yes. you do. all right. when you get thirsty, do you reach for a class of tap water or a bottle from the store? what do you do? your answers are coming up next. how do you

other thing about "the greatest" and that whole process, was that for four years, he followed mohammed ali everywhere. he interviewed him many times, interacting with his first and second wives. he was there, and he really got to know and really like mohammed ali. was a woman i'm sure people have heard of, toni morrison. ms. morrison said she liked working with durham because he was such a good writer, and she also liked working with ali. he flirted with her first. [laughter] but the only problem she said she had with the whole project m kept promising a manuscript and didn't deliver, because he was traveling the world with ali. at one point, they were talking about maybe getting another writer, but he was so good, and whenever he turned in a copy of chapters,r manuscript they were so great that they just stuck with it. the book came out in 1975, and "the greatest," the film based on the book, came out two years later. >> that's awesome. so he obviously also got a chance to meet malcolm x., too. didn'trobably did, but i find any evidence in my research that they interacted. that given that

probably the biggest event we ever had was mohammed ali. that was just tremendous. there was a line for deep down the corner, around the corner up to the next stratum that lasted for four or five hours. he was kind enough to stay here that whole time and let everybody sit on his lap, take a picture, shake his hand. i think the community very much appreciate and they let us know that. they support us in every possible way. they understand the important impact in the resource of knowledge about them in their community. more and more people are understanding most of the black book stores have shut down and that is due not only because of online shopping at the big box stores, but also because the lack of consciousness in the community searching for knowledge. i was asked to speak at a junior high school, middle-school a couple years ago and decided teenagers and that was for martin luther king's birth day. finally talking on a non-about martin luther king and i'm getting this blank looks and i said you ought to know who mark mr. king is, right? one of the hispanic girl

mohammed ali and joe frazier used to call each other on friday ring -- unflattering names. manning and brady cannot muster the stink -- the strength to say or do anything disrespectful. >> all i can say about tom brady is that he plays the position the way it is supposed he is extremely talented. he is a very hard worker and very competitive. he plays his position the right way. when you do that, there is a reason you play for a long time and you play well for a long time. there have been a lot of players that have played in all 16 of those games, but as the great honor and privilege to compete against him that many times over the course of the past 16-17 years. he and i have been in the league together. especially somebody is gratis him to play against. those peyton manning led teams, , you know you're in for a tough game. of taking care of the football because you don't want to give out too much on the short field.>> reporter: the broncos huddle begins at 6:30 and rod mackey hosts from team headquarters. >>> six is how many times peyton manning has been asked about his he
