david wright is supposed to be in federal court right now. we may also learn at this upcoming hearing how wrooigight who was arrested tuesday, knew the man who was killed at this scene here earlier that month. his brother says is police shot 26-year-old usaama rahim in the back but today leaders of both the black and the muslim communities are in boston and seem to support much of the version of events as told to us by police and fbi. the police commissioner boston says rahim came at officers with a large knife. a boston officer and fbi agent fired, killing rahim. in a show of transparency 24 hours later basically, authorities showed this video of this confrontation from this sort of distant surveillance video to these leaders in boston. one of those boston area leaders spoke with me just last hour. >> i think today was a terrific step. here's what we saw. number one, it was not at a bus stop. number two, the -- mr. rahim was advancing at one point towards the officer. number three, he was not shot in the back. the video is from a distance so

and it's based on the wiretapped phone calls the day he was killed where he's calling david wright tellst now and do it. and based on that that's why two hours later the agent and police officers were confronting him before he could get on a bus and do something terrible. that's when he pulls out the knife. that's when they have the confrontation, and that's when he gets shot and kill. >> the suspect apparently thought that the fbi had contacted him in 2012 and i'm wondering, is this something that fits into the type of investigation that they've been conducting? >> there are some investigations where they might contact an individual not many of them. his claim about he heard clicking, i can assure you after a long career involved with wiretaps you won't hear clicking if your phone is being wiretapped by the fbi. i won't tell you how it's done but i can tell you you won't hear clicking. but, you know, in the recent days before his death, they were on his phone, and they do intercept the calls with david wright the morning that he's shot and killed. and in addition in the charging documen

according to the authorities, rahim changed his mind on tuesday morning and called his friend david wright and said he did not want to wait to go to new york. he wanted to do something in boston and kill police officers. it is unclear exactly how he planned to attack. according to the documents, he said he wanted to target and go after the boys in blue. he said i'm going to be on vacation here in massachusetts. i'm just going to go after those boys in blue. according to the court documents. again, he was killed after he was approached in a parking lot by police officials and he allegedly had a military-style knife on him. officials say he lunged at him and they opened fire. we know the other suspect appeared in court and facing conspiracy charges for attempting to destroy rahim's

suspect killed yesterday, usaama rahim, had talked about with another person arrested by the fbi, david wright who appeared in court today, and a third person in rhode island. according to the fbi, usaama rahim, wright and another person met on a beach in rhode island in late may and talked about plans to behead another victim in a separate state.

today in court, 25-year-old david wright rahim's nephew charged with conspiracy. the fbi says wright aided rahim, who was killed by officers yesterday in this boston parking lot. rahim allegedly lunging at members of anti-terror task force with this military-style knife when they tried questioning him. according to the criminal complaint, rahim told wright about the knife in a cell phone conversation allegedly saying, "i just got myself a nice little tool, good for carving." wright later telling rahim something was "like thinking with your head on your chest," as both men laughed. a reference the fbi believes to terrorist propaganda videos, like the ones made by isis. the fbi tracking the men 24/7. they say yesterday, just two hours before he died rahim called wright telling him he was about to go after the boys in blue calling them "the easiest target." agents listening in on the wiretaps felt the threat was imminent and confronted rahim in the parking lot. is there anything you want people to know about your brother? one of rahim's brothers did not want to comme

terrorism suspect killed in boston on tuesday morning, usaama rahim, a second suspect arrested david wright and a third individual allegedly met on a beach in rhode island this sunday to talk about the plan to go to new york and behead pamela geller. she is the figure who organized the contest to draw the prophet muhammad. they wanted to go and behead her and allegedly, according to authorities, rahim changed his mind and called his friend david wright and said he did not want to wait to go to new york and he wanted to do something in boston and kill police officers. it is unclear how he planned to attack him. according to the documents, he said he wanted to target and go after the boys in blue. he said yes, i'm going to be on vacation right here in massachusetts. i'm just going to go after the boys in blue. according to the court documents. again, he was killed after he was approached in a parking lot by police officials and he allegedly had a military-style knife on him. officials say he lunged at them and they opened fire. we know the other suspect appeared in court. he is facing conspir

>> this individual was on the radar along with usaamah rahim and david wright. usaamah rahim was under surveillance for 12 months but had recently been put under 24-hour surveillance because the level of threats were getting much more aggressive. he had bought these three large military knives. we're talking 15 inches long. those had arrived last week. then he had this sort of impromptu meeting and was on the phone with his friends, texting about the fact he was going to behead somebody. so clearly, when he was shot and killed fbi agents and police officers from the jttf were dispatched very quickly not only to pick up david wright but also to this third individual. >> okay. deborah, thank you so much. more on this now. because of what's happening now, usaamah rahim's family plans to speak at this news conference at 4:00 eastern. no doubt they're wanting to know all of the details as far as how law enforcement began watching him. remember he was under 24-hour surveillance. it's clear from that affidavit rahim's phone and e-mail were being monitored. for more on

authorities arrested this man, david wright, in connection to the case. he appeared in court this afternoon. neighbors describe him as a cold and eerie person. >> the months that we have been here every time we would say hi, he just would look at you. he wouldn't say anything to you. very eerie. >> reporter: law enforcement officials said wright associated with osama raheem who was killed yesterday in a confrontation with law enforcement. a late-night raid on a home in rhode island now connects a third person believed to be associated with wright and raheem. officials say he has not been arrested. raheem has been monitored for over two years and believed to have been radicalized by isis believing he was an imminent threat fbi put him under 24/7 surveillance. >> 24/7 coverage typically means we are very very concerned about this threat. we have to determine with immediacy whether it's real or whether it's not. >> reporter: a recent change in raheem's behavior which included social media threats against police prompted fbi agents to confront him. officials

david wright, another suspect, was arraigned today. he's captured. now looking for a third individual. but how big, how broad is this plot? are more individuals out there part of this terror conspiracy? >> well right now we think it's really the three. and mr. wright obviously was tampering, obstructing justice by destroying cell phone records, laptop information. they erased a lot of the laptop information as i understand it. i hope we can retrieve some of that information. because that would be very valuable. they were under surveillance as i mentioned before both physical and technical. law enforcement usually waits and gets as much intelligence as they can. until they see a more immediate threat. and at that time move in to stop whatever that threat may be. and in this case they did it very successfully. >> is he talking, david wright this suspect, to law enforcement and the fbi? >> i don't know the answer to that at this point in time. i do know that we have gathered a lot of the electronic communication and they're trying to retrieve that infor

>> so, this afternoon david wright appeared in a u.s. district court here in boston.e nephew of usama rahim who was shot and

you arrested david wright. why isn't he in custody? will come out later why he isn't at the moment. it's possible that if he was the conduit to communication overseas with isis, that maybe he's still in a position to do that kind of communication and it would be easier to leave him under the supervision of agents outside of the jail to do it as opposed to take him into custody and kick in the whole criminal justice system. but much of what's come out about this case, first of all, the fbi had a wiretap on rahim. it wasn't speculation that he was going to do anything. he placed a call that was recorded at 5:00 a.m. tuesday morning to david wright saying, i can't wait any longer. they were going to go out of state to behead somebody. they don't indicate right in that phone call who. but they say that i can't wait. the boys in blue are out here. i'm going to do it now. i'm going to act today or tomorrow. and that's why they approached him on the street before he could get on a bus, before he could stick that knife into somebody. and, you

these were plots rahim and a second suspect arrested yesterday, david wright were planning. an fbi recorded phone call between rahim and wright lays out their plan to kill police officers using code words. you're attempting to go on a vacation i see. yeah, i'm going to be on vacation right here in massachusetts. the fbi says wright confirmed the attack was to take place yesterday or today. last wednesday rahim allegedly had a large black knife delivered to his home. he brags to wright he got himself a nice little tool good for carving wood and like. they also separately planned to behead a victim in another state using words such as like thinking with your head on your chest. law enforcement officials believe that is a direct reference to terrorist beheading videos. authorities have monitored rahim for over two years and believe he was radicalized by isis. the fbi recently put him under 24/7 surveillance. >> this guy required 24/7 surveillance so we thought the threat was severe enough that we had to approach him. we never expected what happened. >> reporter: with this inform

david wright is being alleged to conspire with rahim to destroy an electronic voice. the documents show they shifted from the plan to killing officers on tuesday morning. phone calls intercepted between wright and rahim rahim declared the new plan to go after the boys in blue saying it is the best target. then wright advised him to destroy the phone after that. the police are also in rhode island and there is a third person noted repeatedly to met with rahim and wright on a beach where they discussed beheading plans. but it is worth noting there is no third arrest in the investigation. >> to the battle to defeat isis overseas as the united states and coalitions launch two dozen new airstrikes. there are reports that isis fighters who control the adam are reducing the flow of water in the anbar province. conner powell is reporting live. >> reporter: yeah, using the river as a weapon to control parts of anbar province. in some parts it is down several meters as isis closed 23-26 gates at the key and important dam. they are limited the water to government areas sunni vill

what you're looking at right now is new video of david wright's arrest in the nearby town of everett. >> this comes hours after police shot and killed rahim who authorities said he was the center of the investigation. rahim had been under 24-hour surveillance joint terrorism task force. >> yeah we have a gentleman, black male 6 feet coming out now with armed with a knife. >> reporter: an fbi agent and boston police officer approached rahim in a cvs parking lot to question him within he came at the officers with a large, military-style knife. >> he kept retreating verbally commands to drop the weapon drop the weapon and at some point the individual approximateproximity came close. >> reporter: the act and officer opened fire hitting him twice. the suspect died with the knife left lying on the ground next to him. the investigation then widen. a police arresting the man nearby everett. rahim had been under surveillance for at least the past 18 months. law enforcement officials tell abc news they're investigating whether the 26-year-old had been inspired by isis through it's social media
