the f.b.i. to come in and look at for us. we oftentimes rely on the f.b.i. for their technical expertise in such areas and they will be there tonight looking at this particular damage to the amtrak locomotive. win shield. of course when the engine went through the impact, the wind shield was shattered but there's particular damage there that we want them to look at for us. we've secured the track image recorded from -- recorder from the cept a a train to see what we can learn from that. moving forward, right after she recalled hearing this conversation between the engineer and -- her engineer and cepta engineer, she said that she felt a rumbling and her train leaned over and her car went over on its side. she said they were not able to self-evacuate and they waited for the emergency responders to get them out. she said she had about 15 passengers in her car. we asked what her relationship, working relationship was with the -- with her locomotive engineer. she said she'd worked with hymn a good b

now, oddly the f.b.i. doesn't have that power. the f.b.i. is the agency charged with the responsibility of investigating and stopping terrorist attacks. but they've never been given this power. they have to issue their subpoenas simply by calling the federal prosecutor, the u.s. attorney's office -- i was united states attorney 12 years assistant united states attorney for 2 1/2. i approved hundreds and hundreds and thousands of subpoenas. in almost every major investigation, you want telephone toll records so you're investigating a drug dealer and you capture somebody, and he starts providing evidence. he said i talked to the main drug dealer. how many times? hundreds. did you use a phone? yes. so you immediately subpoena the telephone records. and they come right in, and it says he can prove that he's telling you the truth. he's made 50, 100 phone calls to the main drug dealer. that corroborates his testimony and builds truth and power in the prosecution's case that this person is indeed a drug dealer and this witness is telling the truth.

the f.b.i. says it sent a photograph of simpson to garland, texas where a contest on drawings of the frofet muhammad was held. they believed he might be interested in the controversial event but the f.b.i. did not know simpson and his accomplice, nadir soofi were en route from phoenix armed with aconclude-47s. at around 7:00 p.m., two meb opened fire on police before being killed by a traffic officer. simpson had apparently received guidance and inspiration online from his american jihadist fighting in somalia. today in an off-camera session with reporters f.b.i. director james comey described isis' siren song. he said the terrorist group reaches out through twitter identifies followers and sends them to encrypted web sites that are difficult track. comey says the message is, "go kill people," sometimes supplying them with hit lists, sometimes suggesting particular targets. today a spokesperson for the garland police department said they had no information at all that simpson and soofi were head

scott, the f.b.i. had reopened an investigation into simpson in march but he was not being watched around the clock. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom tonight, jeff, thank you. today, a federal appeals court said that a controversial government surveillance program is illegal. it is the formerly top secret program that gathers massive amounts of data on phone calls. not the conversations themselves, but the information on who's calling whom. jan crawford is our chief legal correspondent and joins us tonight. jan, what does this decision mean? >> reporter: well, i mean, as a legal matter, i think it's largely symbolic. the appeals court said the telephone data collections program was not authorized by congress under the patriot act but that law is going to expire in three weeks anyway. i mean, the court did not decide the bigger questions of whether the program violated the fourth amendment, and it said it could continue for the next few weeks. so what this decision does is put the respo

the f.b.i.told the police that elton simpson might be interested in the event, but bureau did not know simpson and his accomplice nadir soofi were planning an attack. f.b.i director james comey says there could be thousands of people in the u.s. following isis propaganda online. the f.b.i. prioritizes which to monitor most closely. today, comey held a conference call with representatives from about 500 police departments urging them to share information. ron hosko is a former assistant director of the f.b.i. does the f.b.i. have the resources to keep up with these threats? >> no. the f.b.i. is evolving, but the speed of change and opportunity has been one that's been difficult for law enforcement and the intelligence community to keep pace with. >> reporter: the growing threat means there could be more surveillance of potential suspects. scott, today, director comey asked state and local officials to take another look at closed investigations, as well as cases that had been categorized as low pr

. >>> our top story, a former f.b.i. agent heads to federal court here in alexandria on charges that she assaulted a c.i.a. officer and made several threats. we poured through the court documents all morning long and they really describe some strange behavior by 30-year-old tunisia davis a former f.b.i. agent, worked for the f.b.i. from 2004 to 2010. here's the strange behavior. last thursday she drove up to the c.i.a. headquarters in mclean, virginia. the a little there -- the agent there spotted her car from an earlier lookout from the national security agency when she approached them to, quote, test their security. that's all cord to the court -- according to the court records here. she had some strange behavior and refused to cooperate with the officers, at one point turning up her radio and dancing. she had to be stopped physically with another officer standing in front of her car. she tried reaching for another officer's gun, all of this raising alarms by those agents. so they took her into custody. according to th

also tonight the f.b.i. is looking at if a projectile hit the train before the crash in pittsburgh. the wreck ac of a u.s. marine helicopter that crashed in nepal has been found. and steve hartman on the road with a young man who just made his mother's day. >> i told her i love you. >> i told my husband, i said, "i love you, but you know what, i think your son just outdid you." captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: this is our western edition. >> pelley: in a surprising revelation this evening, the national transportation safety board says it has asked the f.b.i. to investigate whether a projectile shattered the windshield of that amtrak passenger train before it derailed derailed on tuesday night. there were reports of two other trains in the same area being hit by something -- perhaps rocks or even bullets. chris van cleve has the breaking story. >> reporter: scott, the national transportation safety board is asking the f.b.i. to investigate damage to the engine of the derailed train 188. take a close look at this picture. if you

now the f.b.i. has been brought in. chris van cleave has the breaking story for us tonight. >> reporter: scott the national transportation safety board is asking the f.b.i. to examine damage to the engine of train 188. take a close look at this picture. if you look at the windshield there, you can see it is cracked, looks shattered. that's the damage the f.b.i. is going to be taking a close look at. now, the n.t.s.b.'s robert sumwalt explained late this afternoon, a philadelphia computer train reported being struck by something shortly before the amtrak train derailed. in addition to the engineer, the n.t.s.b. interviewed two assistant conductors from train 188. one said that shortly after leaving the philadelphia train station, she heard a septa engineer report his train being hit. >> she recalled that the septa engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock or shot at and that the septa engineer said that he had a broken windshield, and he placed his train into engineer stop. >> re

roberts told the f.b.i. that from 2011 to 2014 he compromised the systems approximately 15 to 20 times by hacking into networkig connections on in-flight entertainment units under passenger seats. in march he told fox news he's been talking with the federal aviation administration. >> you basically have to understand how computer networks work, how avionics systems work and be able to translate and communicate between those systems. >> reporter: the f.b.i. hasn't said that roberts successfully hacked into the controls, but agents did warn him that unauthorized access to those networks is a violation of federal statutes and that he could be prosecuted. in april roberts was on a united flight from denver to chicago and tweeted what airline officials said could have been reference to tampering with the passenger oxygen masks. united contacted the f.b.i. agents inspected the plane when it landed in chicago and founder that the boxes under and in front of roberts' seat showed signs of tampering. >> it does open u

hastert told the f.b.i. in 2014 he was storing cash because he did not feel safe with the banking system. prosecutors believe that was a lie. ron hosko was a former assistant director of the f.b.i. it seems like there is so much more to this story than what's in those documents. why is that? >> it does feel today like this is a bit of an iceberg where we see 10% on top of the water and we want to know what's underwater. >> reporter: the indictment dynamite has stubbed hastert's friends and colleagues. >> i was shocked completely shocked. >> reporter: the charges against hastert are not related to the allegations of sexual misconduct. charlie, we tried numerous times to reach the former house speaker for commencement. ee still have not heard pack. >> rose: thanks, jeff. there is late word tonight the pentagon has ordered a review of all military laboratories after learning live anthrax samples were mistakenly shipped to more labs than first thought. they were supposed to get inactive anthrax for testing. toda

this comes as the f.b.i. checks out the possibility that some sort of object hit train's windshield just before the crash. here's kris van cleave. >> reporter: new video from a security camera showed the speeding train as it careened off the tracks. the accident prompted federal regulators to order amtrak to immediately complete installation of automatic train control that could remotely stop a speeding train, assess speeds approaching curves and add speed limit signs. the national transportation safety board asked the f.b.i. to investigate damage to the windshield of train 188's engine to determine if an object struck the train. board member robert sumwalt. >> what damage patterns to that windshield are we having the f.b.i. look at? there is a circular pattern that emanates out just a bit. >> reporter: in an interview with the n.t.s.b., an assistant conductor recalled hearing a radio conversation between engineer brandon bostian, and another train operator about objects striking their trains. two other train

you have the f.b.i. involved in criminal indictments of people who participate in cyber security incidents. are there additional actions we can take? director comey: there are a variety that private folks often raise. thank goodness i'm able to avoid the conversation because it is not the f.b.i.'s thing. oftentimes, i have private companies say maybe we should go up the pipe and smakcck people. i say that would be a crime. don't do that. there is frustration that is palpable. there isn't an easy answer to that. >> you're talking about the private sector taking action against those seeking to steal their data. you're saying that is not something you recommend. director comey: for a variety of reasons. i was not being facetious. your access to someone else's system without authorization would violate our laws. it also would potentially have all kinds of unforeseen consequences. it is hard enough for government actors to act in cyberspace in a way where you can predict knock on effects. if we had self-help

scott: f.b.i. official tells me there is no credible information to suggest an airplane flight control system can be access or manipulated from the in-flight system. so a recent g.a.o. report to congress mentions the potential and it has some on capitol hill worried. >> this is real. this is what cyber security and cyber attacks are all about. we have systems to protect against that. but welcome to the real world of cyber attacks. scott: you heard the f.b.i. cast doubt on the potential danger. the request for the warrant says there was tampering to the wiring wh the flight. they have since grabbed some of his computers and thumb drives. leon: thank you scott. amtrak service resumed today on northeast corridor as the new questions emerged on what happened before train 177878 derailed in philadelphia last week. eight people died. dozens were hurt. investigators are looking at whether something struck the plane before it accelerated and crashed. they ruled out the possibility it was a bullet. also tod

a short time later in miami f.b.i. agents arrived with a search warrant at the miami hears of the federation of north central america and caribbean football association. meanwhile, the swiss federal office of justice has announced it has opened a criminal case into how the 2018 and 2012 world cups were awarded to russia and qatar. we have this report. >> a dawn raid at a luxury hotel in did your rick, swiss police at the request of the united states department of justice arresting officials from football's world good morning body. they are suspected of bribery worth $100 million and face extradition to the u.s. the case is linked to commercial deals dating back to the 1990s for major football tournaments in the americas. 14 have been indicted, including the fifa vice president jeffery webb former fifa executive jack warner. former south american football heads and the chief of brazilian football who oversaw last year's world cup in brazil. swiss authorities launched proceedings do the awarding was 2018 and 2012 world c

the f.b.i.e background of the two dead suspects. >> the two suspects lived together in arizona. investigators say they traveled all the way to texas to come to this event. they are now looking into a motive. and if they have lynches -- links to terrorism. >> two gun men were killed in an attack in garland, texas. the f.b.i. identified one as elton simpson. he tweeted before the shooting with # texasattack. there were messages sympathetic to isis in the same account. the f.b.i. said the two tried to storm a controversial cartoon contest which encourages people to drop pictures of the prophet mohammed. a group called american freedom against initiative held the event. the suspects drove up and opened fire. >> both had assault rifles. they came around the back of the car and started shooting at the police car. >> a traffic cop fired back and shot them dead. >> under the fire that he was put under he did a very good job. probably saved lives. >> 200 frightened people were evacuated. >> we heard a bu

the f.b.i. was also aware of soofi, because he was living with simpson. in an audio posting online isis claimed responsibility for the failed attack. but investigators are still trying to determine whether the two men were directed by isis or just inspired by its message to attack western targets. simpson had multiple twitter and facebook accounts. just before the attack here pledged allegiance to the terror group and wrote, "may allah accept us as mujahideen." this is another case where online activity appears to have played a role in inspiring an attack. scott, social media is the common thread running through many of these investigations. >> pelley: jeff thanks very much. so, who were these two men? ben tracy's been digging in phoenix. >> i don't know how i'm going to live with it. >> reporter: sharon soofi says finding out that her son nadir was one of the two shooters was a punch in the gut. >> when your child dies under these kind of circumstances, you just-- you it just leaves you numb and empty. >> reporter: nadir soofi was 34 and born in dallas.

the director of the f.b.i. says

the director of the f.b.i. says they use information to build criminal cases against u.s. persons. this is an end run around the fourth amendment and it has to stop. now, this bill did not create those problems. however, this bill doesn't correct those problems. chairman goodlatte stated during the markup of the bill that these issues would be next, but we can't afford to wait until the final hour of expiration to take action like we did with this bill. to do so would mean at least another two years of mass surveillance of americans, which is unconscionable. last year the house voted 293-123 to close these back door loopholes, but the rules committee would not allow the house to vote today to put these fixes into this bill. now, i voted in committee to advance this bill for a couple of reasons. first -- and i do want to thank all the members who worked on this but single out congressman

katty: and the f.b.i. or authorities would have been within their rights because that's the other side of this equation that's raised right? how far does the constitution allow people to be followed? daveed: this was very easy because this was open on their twitter feed. the f.b.i. can look at a twitter feed just like they look at a newspaper. they had to get a warrant to look at direct messages he was sending or other electronic messages. a good case can be made, an overwhelming case could be made that they could have probable cause to seek more surveillance based upon his own actions that were out on the open based on twitter. coy coip thanks so much for come -- katty: thanks so much for coming in. just as the nap please government said more people died from last month'sth quake they finally got to the remote town. a huge mudslide smothered the town burying almost everything. 3,000 villagers is expectsed to have died there. there is a report. there is warning, it is disturbing. reporter: this is reckoned

as roger said, the f.b.i.e in chicago, the hope is that you turn the smaller fry and it ends up going to the big kahuna. on top of that, fifa's power depends on money that comes from the sponsorship that goes to the world cup and comes from people participating in the world cup, and there is going to be a lot of noise about major fed ranges withdrawing from fifa withdrawings from the world cup -- >> woodruff: which is what the u.s. and some europeans are talking about -- or not from the world cup, but withdrawing from fifa. >> exactly, which would entail withdrawing from the world cup, which is a major commitment that would remake the global game. >> woodruff: well, let me come back to you, roger bennett. what do we look forward to in this coming term? we know the investigations continue. can international soccer continue in any seem semblance of a normal operation given what's taken place this week? >> the only one in fifa land. the next steps will take place in the real world. we see what kind of cards the f

former house speaker denny hastert is indicted on federal criminal charges including lying to the f.b.i. and hiding big cash withdrawals. where did the money go? also tonight was james holmes insane as he claims when he opened fire on a colorado movie theater? what an expert told jurors today. drones joined the hunt forked from victims. >> we may be getting into areas we can't get people into. >> rose: and a contest naming for hemingway helps write a new chapter in u.s.-cuba relations. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> reporter: good evening. scott is on assignment. i'm charlie rose. we begin with late-breaking news, denny hastert the former speaker of the u.s. house of representatives, has been indicted on federal criminal charges according to court documents. hastert is accused of covering up big cash withdrawals he was making allegedly to be used as hush money the pay off someone he had wronged. congressional correspondent nancy cordes has the latest. >> reporter: hastert served as speaker for eight years from 1999 to 2007, but it's what

mary: hastert has been charged with bank fraud and lying to the f.b.i. the indictment alleges he tried to skirt the currency reporting requirements taking out just under $10,000 each time in 100 separate transactions. when asked about it, he told the f.b.i. yeah, i kept the cash. that is what i'm doing. hastert hasn't commented or been seen publicly. he hasn't been arrested because authorities don't believe he poses a flight risk. if convicted he faces up to ten years in prison. reporting in northwest, mary bruce, abc7 news. alison: this sunday is the last time that veteran anchor bob schieffer asks the guests to "face the nation." he has hosted the sunday morning talk show for 24 years. he started reporting 58 years ago getting his big break by accidentally walking in on someone else's interview. now at 78 he says he is ready to retire. he says he is looking forward to having the summer off. leon: he has earned more than a summer off. he has had one of the most incredible and admiral careers. we will miss him. alison: class act. legend. leon: coming up

what you've heard from the f.b.i. director and others is that the loss of these tools will impact their work tremendously. >> woodruff: so has the president agreed to scale back the mass collection of american phone data in order that there be some restrictions on when that collection is done? >> well, what's interesting about this judy, is that some very legitimate questions have been raised over the last year or so about the n.s.a.'s program to collect telephone metadata, information ability telephone calls and telephone call numbers but not the content. nevertheless legitimate questions have been raised about the government holding on to thatda at that. what the president did a year and a half ago is ask his national security team come up with forms to ensure that the operational capabilities and benefits that we get from these programs continue to be used for the safety and security of the american people but that we address the very real concerns that people have about their privacy when government holds this dat

the f.b.i. is analyzing the lower left windshield of the train at the request of the ntsb. also there appears to be a circular break in the glass there could could have been the recall of some sort of flying object did could have also happened during impact, we just don't know yet. an assistance conductor on board tells the ntsb she overherd heard the engineer talking do a local train engineer before the crash, acknowledging they had both been hit by something before the derailment. the local train engineer said he thought his windshield had been hit by a rock or that he was shot at. if. >> she also believed she heard her engineer say something about his train being struck by something. this is her correction we're going -- recollection and we're going to be conducting further investigation of this comment. >> reporter: you that a train stalled in emergency stop in an other where they say they're used to things being thrown at trainsist trains. this is rare for an emergency stop to happen. a pas

it's a special form of police the f.b.i., but they are domestic police. the f.b.i. is allowed to write their own warrants. these are called national security letters and they don't have to be signed by a judge. there is no probable cause. if they come into your house there is no ability for you to complain. in fact sometimes they are now coming into our houses without us knowing about it. this is called a sneak and peek warrant. and like everything else the government says we'll be run run -- overrun with terrorists if we don't let the government quietly sneak into your house when urine -- when you are gone and put listening devices, search through your papers and read all your stuff while you're gone. you don't have to have probable cause necessarily for these. it's a lower standard. but we're letting the f.b.i. write this without a judge reviewing it. i have a friend who is an f.b.i. apartment. i play government -- golf with him. he's like don't you trust him? i do, i trust him, but i don't trust everybody. madison said if government were comprised of angels, we w

i would say that we need more money spent on f.b.i. agents analyzing data and trying to find out who we have suspicion for so we can investigate their records. i think we spend so much money on people for whom there is no suspicion that we don't have enough time and money left to go after the people who would actually harm us. the people who argue that the world will end at midnight tonight -- the presiding officer: will the senator please suspend. order in the chamber please. please take your conversations off the floor. thank you senator. mr. paul: the people who argue that the world will end and we will be overrun by jihadists tonight are trying to use fear. they want to take just a little bit of your liberty but they get it by making you afraid. they want you to fear and give up your liberty. they tell you if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. that's a far cry from the standard we were founded upon -- innocent until proven guilty. one of the objections that i tried to bring forward earlier but was interrupted repea

in afghanistan there's no f.b.i. in war zones you don't have the f.b.i. what you have is the department of defense and different intelligence agencies, tracking the networks, know the networks, know who the bad guys are, know where the hostages may be and then in case we actually get good intelligence, the department of defense and our intelligence communities, those are the people that would act on the intelligence. not the f.b.i. if there's a hostage situation here at the capitol, the f.b.i. would take care of it. if there's a hostage situation in san diego or new york, the f.b.i. would take care of it. but again, not if it's isis or al qaeda or in somalia, yemen, iraq syria or any other war zone-type country. what my amendment does is makes sure that there's now a joint interagency coordinator under the president who works directly with the president and anybody else that they need to. we have to date five people five american citizens, that have been killed by radical islamic terrorists. we haven't freed one of them. not a single american citizen has

with the f.b.i. involved we spoke with the ntsb initial who was leading the investigation. >> sir has the f.b.i. determined whether a rock or bullet struck the windshield of the engine and if it played any role in the derailment? >> we are going to meet with the f.b.i. tomorrow and have them examine the locomotive. >> you will not know for some period of time. >> that is right. >> reportedly it is not unusual for trains -- i didn't realize this -- to be struck by objects. obviously, not usually a bullet but rocks boulders and things like that. in fact, engineers call it "getting rocked." and it happened about two or three times a month on the stretch north of fill. given how office then this happens, what is the likelihood if something struck the windshield it has anything to do with the train speeding up and going off the tracks. >> we are looking at everything at this point we have not ruled anything out or have we rued anything in. >> i take it this happens where project isles hit and engines do n

. >> hastert has been charged with bank fraud and lying to the f.b.i. the indictment alleges he tried to mask his cash withdrawals taking out just under $10,000 in 100 separate transactions to avoid the reporting requirement. when asked about it, hester told the f.b.i. i kept the cash, that is what i'm doing. no word yet from custard -- dennis hastert or his legal team. he has stepped down from his position at a lobbying firm. if convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison. kellye: a scare in the air for several flights leaving j.f.k. airport in new york. four commercial planes were targeted by lasers last night. investigators say someone intentionally pointed the green lasers into the cockpits. no one was hurt that investigators are determined to find the people responsible. so far, there have been no arrests. the future of some key programs lie in the hand of congress. they could come to an end sunday unless congress reauthorizes the expiring patriot act provisions. that includes the program that allows the n.s.a. to collect and score -- store phone

simpson has been on the f.b.i. radar for 10 years. but the chairman of the homeland committee says a direct link to the group may be premature. >> there is no specific evidence this was directed overseas by isis. rather this is one of these radicalized over the internet type individuals. this is the kind of attack that we are most concerned about. bill: have the fed verified this claim from isis and what are we learning about the links to this group? >> reporter: the u.s. intelligence committee is still assessing this claim by isis. a counter-terrorism source tells fox news twitter traffic reveals connections between one of the gunmen and established handles overseas suggesting isis operatives had contact with the gunmen before the attack. within hours of the attack established isis twitter handles had established contact using phrases up as we tried to reach him but just missed him. sources say the social media appeared to show commitment and encouragement. we are also trying to get information about the facebook account of nadir soo
