this investigation that was made all the more difficult because the killer covered herself or in a burkace say the suspect has confessed and targeted the victim simply because she was an american. in an overnight raid, they stormed a house and captured what they describe as a 38-year-old united arab emirates citizen of yemeni origin. police in abu dhabi believe she had help but believe the house that they raided was the base of operations. police believe the suspect also planted a relatively crude bomb outside the home of an american doctor that was defused before it could hurt anyone. this woman they've arrested is allegedly the woman seen in the mall surveillance tape in the killing of an american schoolteacher who was 47 years old, originally from hungary, an american citizen. she was a kindergarten teacher and mother of twin 11-year-old boys. their father has flown to abu dhabi to pick up his sons. the u.s. embassy had noted calls on social media for attacks against teachers in the region, and the leader of isis has made continued calls for lone wolf attacks. they are inherently unco

because he was a republican there were many african-americans of a more radical ilk who thought of burkas moderate and so when the kerner commission was formed after the urban riots of 1967 a lot of people said hey wait the people said hey wait the only two african-americans on the commission are -- and brook but the irony was the conclusion they came to as damning of white america as damning as white institution is any radical would have offered himself or herself. the kerner commission said the responsibility for the urban riots lies at the foot of white america, white american leaders. it said america is moving towards two separate societies, white and black separate and unequal. and so you know broke actually burnished his credentials on civil rights throughout his career in the senate. at the same time he had to perform this balance where he had to keep white voters voting for him while he worked in the senate. he worked hard for school desegregation was dear to him. open housing was dear to him and of course his work on the kerner commission. >> host: this was the same ed burke they
