but as alison burns reports from washington, d.c., many in washington are extremely skeptical. alison? >> reporter: here at capitol, some members of congress are demanding an immediate review of the billions of dollar in aid that the u.s. provides to pakistan. few here seem to believe that pakistani security forces did not know about this huge compound in a bustling military town that was sheltering osama bin laden. former secretary of state, condoleezza rice, did a few interviews from stanford and she said she, too, was surprised about the compound. but she says pakistan is an important partner with the u.s. with a stake in the fight against terrorism. >> let's remember that al qaeda has carryied out out terrorism on pakistan. it caused them the life of benazir bhutto. >> reporter: dianne feinstein is holding a conference about this. more on that in my next update. alison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, alison. >>> we're now hearing about a warning that cade has hidden a nuclear -- that al qaeda has hidden a nuclear bomb somewhere in europe that they claim could be s

kelly o'donnell is live in washington, d.c. what kinds of questions did the lawmakers have for the head of the cia today? >> reporter: they really have been a couple of big issues. people want to know about pakistan's involvement and we have been told that they have raised those questions. some members have said to us that they felt they had some satisfaction, that some new information was given, it is all classified. we can't share it. they didn't tell us. and a lot of this has been about talking about what the s.e.a.l.s actually did and what the operation from the intelligence community involved. and senators did give their perspectives on that, calling it a riveting story of what actually happened. and so i think what the situation room was like when this all occurred, they have tried to, in a verbal way, re-create that for members of congress to really answer their questions about the training, how the operation was conducted, and what was found at the location. that's the sense that we're getting. they did say they got som
