officials are trying to determine whether ibrahim al series was one of the top militants killed. our correspondents are covering this from around the world at this hour. let's begin with barbara starr. she has details about the strike in yemen against al qaeda. barbara, what are you hearing? >> wolf, it was a covert and so secret that an official tells me it's like it never happened. cnn has learned u.s. personnel used russian-made helicopters with night vision gear to secretly fly many troops into the remote southern mountains of yemen, a further sign of how much the u.s. would risk to help let me men launch this week's unprecedented raid on the al qaeda strong hold. u.s. officials say the american personnel did not engage on combat on the ground. it was just part of the u.s. assistance in the attacks. >> we continue to work with them on their counterterror capabilities inside their own country. but i'm not going to speak to specific operations. >> reporter: even before the ground assault, the cia used drones to attack al qaeda in the arabian peninsula aqap. fighters, weapon sit

ibrahim goes to prison for years because of allegations which he's always denied.ourt cases. you're watching malaysia's dirty linen being washed. when he says that, you ask the question is it incompetence or do they know more? they no, he says. >> he said first i thought it was incompetence and now i am suspicious. they know more. >> that is a fairly -- even for a political rival to say that. ibrahim is a very bright man and very respected in many quarters. >> what he's saying is echoing what sarah bajac, partner of filip wood passengerer on the plane said earlier. >> he's been on the inside. he was the defense minister. he was the deputy prime minister. he did spend the money on the radar system. he knows how system works. he'll also be aware of the political cost to him or gain of making this accusation. >> the accusation and being wrong. you've been following this for four weeks. you love planes, you know everything about planes. what do you think when you consider all the evidence? >> all right. i did the first major plane crash, if you like, i did was lockerbi

they are clearly hopeful that this was, in fact, ibrahim al asiri.ave been times in the past they've been premature announcing the death of a high valued target. yemenis are saying there's very credible evidence they did kill him. they know they got a saudi, believe it was a high value target. the intel led to this area and they believe there's a chance now that they got him. if they did, that is a huge victory for them, but the yemenis are also saying it's not enough to take out the high valued targets. they need to continue the massive operations they've been under going with the americans, and they need to really try to degrade the capabilities and go after the training camps and those recruitment camps. >> peter, remind our viewers who al asiri, the master bombmaker, is. >> this is somebody that's pretty cold-blooded, sent his own brother to kill then-minister of the interior in saudi arabia. that was the first time he came to public notice. that attack didn't succeed, but killed his brother. somebody who would send their own brother on a suicide

now, from the start, it appears ibrahim had no intention of complying with the j1 visa. indeed, shortly after he arrived, the council withdrew their sponsorship of him because he failed to provide the required documentation with respect to employment. that very day, the council in maine instructed him to make immediate plans to leave the country, recorded the information on the federal database that is used, and yet, despite this agency doing and despiteorrect the fact that ibrahim was out of compliance with the requirements of his visa, he was later granted asylum and even a green card. this shocked the entity in maine that reported him from being out of the lions of the visa -- compliance of the visa. i find this very troubling. how is it that a young man from chechnya comes to the united states to participate in a cultural exchange program. immediately violates the conditions of his visa, is told to leave the country, and then is granted asylum? that to me shows there is a real problem with sharing of information. and with the system. now on the other side, we have th

and she wrote, hello, my name is ibrahim, and i'm from afghanistan and part of al qaeda and on june 1sterican airlines responded, sarah, we take these seriously and the ip address and details will be forwarded to the security and fbi and then the reality set in for the teenager who tried to promptly take it back with a series of tweets like, i was kidding. i am so sorry, and i'm scared now, but after the series of apologies, she seemed to enjoy the newfound celebrity. quote. wow, because of this, i gained 1,000 followers. she actually ended up with 30,000 followers before twitter shutdown her account. and the incident sparked a rash of copycats and reports today, that at least a dozen others tweeted similar bomb threats to american airlines. and let's bring in a psychologist and senior researcher at the children's digital center in l.a., and also the director of common sense media which is a nonprofit that helps navigators monitor teenagers. and we know that teenagers do a number of dumb things, but now they have social media to magnify it socially. >> well, it is developmentally normal

we know that they have a very creative bomber in yemen, ibrahim al siri. one of the concerns that maybe some of these guys who are western heers who are helping them out? >> it certainly could be. there has been a clear record of foreigners coming any to join this fight in northern syria against at a time assad regime and the fight against hezbollah and the fight against the shia inside of iraq. there is this centrifugal force where these fighters coming from around the world because they know that this is where the action is. >> it's frightening to see all of those al-qaeda people all together in one place and seemingly trying to say -- send some message to the united states. brigadier general mark kimmett, good to have you on the show to talk about this. >>> turning to the crisis in ukraine where what the government called an anti-terrorist organization by ukrainian troops in the eastern part of the country has resulted in a trail of demoralized fighters meant to show strength against pro-russian forces but some ended up defecting to the russian side and

her account is suspended, but according to the associated press she wrote, quote, my name is ibrahim,tan and i'm part of al qaeda, and on june 1st, i'm going to do something really g big, bye. and not surprising, american airlines is not amused. sarah, we take these threats seriously, and your ip address and details will be forwarded to the security and fbi. and that got her attention and then she tweeted back she was joking. and she said that no charges have been filed, and officials are waiting for american airlines to be pressing charges. but nevertheless, it is an important lesson on the world. you said she is a teenager, and i said, where? >> the tough streets of new york. >> and she would tweet out on social immediamedia and not rea that she could be found. >> sometimes the trouble with social media is social media, right? and while it facilitates amazing things like arab spring and people sharing the photos on facebook, there is a dark side to it, and the yen and theian of social media, and what some teenagers and kids don't realize is that there is not a volume adjuster on the

there's been a lot of speculation these last few days that, perhaps al qaeda's top bomb-maker in yemen, ibrahimsiri may have been killed, but that's all rumor and speculation at this point. it will be several days before they figure out who exactly was killed. yemeni officials are happy with how the operation is going thus far, but there needs to be a lot of work to be done. time and again, even after so many years of drone strikes and other counterterror operations that have gone on between the u.s. and yemeni government there in yemen to try to vanquish this organization, the fact of the matter is, the ranks of this organization are still swelled with new recruits every day, it is resurgent, still very strong, and this group has been able to continue to plot attacks against not just yemen, other countries in the region and the u.s. from that area, their hub there in yemen. alison? >> knowing that this organization has been around so long, what about the timing of this operation? why now? >> the timing is very specific. the reason for that, according to my sources in yemen, is because of this

ibrahim juma used to get ten customers a day at his bicycle repair shop, now he's lucky to get two. >> ( translated ): there's sadness everywhere, a bad feeling, a sense of loss because we used to see our neighbors in the morning but now we don't. it's sad, we don't know where they are. our neighbors were like our brothers and i miss them. >> reporter: the government believes it's won in homs and must fight not negotiate to win elsewhere. this then is the face of victory in syria. ruined cities, ruined lives, and the prospect of many more years of conflict to come. >> ifill: online, we have a report on the latest numbers of the death toll from syria's civil war. a british monitoring group found despite official counts, the actual toll was likely closer to 220,000 people killed in the last three years. that's on our rundown. >> woodruff: the fate of u.s. led peace negotiations between israel and the palestinians hit new hurdles today, and the very future of the talks might be in jeopardy. >> woodruff: secretary of state john kerry had been all set to resume his middle east shuttle dipl

and on a separate issue, is the president going to meet anwar ibrahim in malaysia, or will anybody else from the delegation? >> on the question of territorial disputes, i mean, i think you will hear the president say what has been consistently u.s. policy, which is that these disputes need to be resolved, ought to be resolved through peaceful means, not through coercion, not through threats, not through anything other than peaceful diplomatic means based on the rule of law -- and in this instance, the international law, and particularly the law of the sea. and that will continue to be our strong view, and we have shared that in all of our engagements with concerned parties, including when the president had the opportunity to meet with president xi jinping most recently in the hague. with respect to your second question, i think that the president is not likely to have that meeting, although there may be other engagements at other levels. >> ambassador rice, you mentioned that the u.s. has demonstrated to its asian allies that we've been there when they needed it the most. does the admin

part of the issue was there was an opposition leader anwar ibrahim, arrested twice. many observers believe the charges were trumped up. president obama declined to meet with the individual and president obama was asked about that. he said he doesn't meet with opposition leaders. he's sending national security advisor susan rice to meet with mr anwar on monday. >> mike viqueira, live from kuala lumpur. thank you for joining us. >>> pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine are holding owners hostage. they are hoping to secure the release and the leader of the rebels said he would consider a prisoner swap meaning he would let them go if they release observers they are holding, we have the latest on the prisoners of war. >> it is becoming complicated. the mayor is feeling very emboldened and empowered by it, declaring that the o.s.c.e. team was considered as prisoners of war, even though it wasn't clear whether they decided that europe was an enemy. they were not allowed in his territory and accused them of being spies, here to give information to the enemies of his to

have more to share with you about high-rampging groups on the target list, believed to be with them ibrahimtmas day underwear bomb and more recently suspected of refining shoe bombs to get them past airport security. no identity hes of those killed have yet to be confirmed. >> they inspired the boston bombers. the fact that the administration now is going aggressively against these terrorists, i think it's a very positive sign given the prior narrative that al qaeda is on the run and this was all over. >> reporter: the drone strikes come a week after cnn aired this video, showing a large and bold gathering of aqap in broad daylight near to where the current operations are under way. u.s. intelligence considers the group a direct and growing group. >> this is the one al qaeda affiliate which has time and again been interested, willing, and able to strike the u.s. homeland. drone strikes may disrupt the group's ability to conduct attacks both in yemen and overseas but if you don't control this territory, nor does the u.s., the group will still pose a major, major threat. >> yemen central gove

democracy nature of malaysia, there is an opposition and this opposition party led, of course, by anwar ibrahimthe opportunity to boot the boot into the government. so there is a political debate that does take place in this country, and i've no doubt, wolf, none whatsoever, that what the failure of the military to deal with it on the night is going to become a political issue in domestic malaysia. >> on the eve of the president, president obama's visit there as well. richard quest doing outstanding work for us. thank you. >>> let's bring in our panel of experts. cnn aviation analyst, peter goelz. cnn afteruation analyst, michael kay. aviation consultant, ken christianson. geoffrey thomas, editor in chief of airlineratings.com joining us from pauaustralia. peter goelz, they're going to move this underwater search a little further north based on what, the second ping as opposed to the strongest ping? is that what they're going to do? >> that's exactly right. i think they're obligated to do that. the australians made a big deal about the pings. they've said this is the right spot, the investigato

nor the bomb-maker, ibrahim who was behind the failed underwear bombing plot in 2009. travel with large groups of recruits and two to great lengths to avoid training camps with are target for terrorist strikes. the yemeni government official says it was designed to break support network for aqap. and recruitment network. they had intelligence they were preparing a attack on oil facility where foreign nationals works. jenna: catherine thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. jon: there is a case in front of the supreme court that could change the way you watch television in the future. peter barnes from the fox business network is outside of the supreme court with a look at that. >>> plus what we're learning about why some people can tolerate pain much better than others. the role genetics might play in how you feel. i do a lot oresearch on angie's list before i do any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can t

have some ability to target the united states because they do have this very skilled bob becamer, ibrahimdy inhiding who is heavily protected in the group and skilled at making explosives which you can get on airlines. so a lot of concern about this. back in february the department of homeland security issued a bulletin after u.s. intelligence discovered that al siri was developing a new generation of shoe bombs. >> this gathering supposedly took place somewhere in yep men, right? is it possible that the united states actually knew about the meeting but we're not hearing about it? if the united states can target an al qaeda leader in the middle of a busy city in pakistan and then kill that person with a drone, why wouldn't it be able to detect this large gathersing? >> if they had known about it, it would have been a huge opportunity to decimate this group and land a huge blow against al qaeda globally. nasir al wuhayshi is expected to take over from the current leader. you have over 100 fighters there. their thought may be they didn't know about this either because they didn't have this
