. >> and in this particular case, nadir soofi did spend a few years ins islamabad and pakistan. but he nor elton simpson never spent time in iraq or syria getting training with isis. >> you don't fesly have to spend time overseas but the counterterrorism officials are seeing greater numbers, new figures i got from the director of national intelligence they're up to 22,500 estimated foreign fighters in syria, about 180 of those in iraq and syria are thought to be american citizens at least 40 have come back the fbi is trying to track all of those, but they know they can't track down every single one. >> 40 doesn't seem like a huge number they could easily be monitoring 40 americans who may have received training in iraq and syria, right? >> 40 is not a huge number but one of the things they look for is social media, things like these tweets the more popular isis becomes through attacks like this the more you've got this kind of social electronic footprint to comb through, to try to figure out who's real who's a threat and just expressing their constitutionally protected right to

in islamabad, 2:00 a.m. in pyongyang, nouk.rever you're watching from around the world thanks for joining us. we begin with the largest release of osama bin laden documents ever. the correspondence was confiscated by u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s. the night bin laden was killed. they paint a complex picture of the leader revealing the human side of bin laden and reminding us of his terrorist side. among the 103 documents just released, there is extensive cooperation with other leaders of al qaeda andl

he went to an elite school in islamabad. then he and his brother decided to leave the country. we know from his mosque that soofi had a pizza shop here. he had a son. we also know more about elton simpson. the other gunman. he has a criminal record. in 2011 he has a criminal record of lying to authorities. at the time the authorities tried to stick him with an international terrorism charge. that did not come to fruition. his family is not muselim. we hear he converted around high school age. although he had a conviction in 2011 the president of the mosque said he did not have any displays of violence. no warning signs. investigators have combed through the apartment and walking out with box upon box of evidence. they are trying to make the connection of the men and how they turned into lone wolves. >> thank you, kyung. before we move on let me update you. isis in a report on their official radio channel has now claimed responsibility for that attack in garland, texas. the announcer on the radio station says two of their soldiers attacked the event in garland. that is how isis

our correspondent is in islamabad to explain why the tour would be important for contribute in pakistan. >> it will be the first test-playing nation to come to pakistan in six years after a deadly attack on the sri lankan team in 2009, which brought international cricket to a grinding halt. it was also important because pakistan recently has performed very poorly, particularly the match against bangladesh, which they lost 3-0, and that means that pakistan's ranking slid to number nine. that is two above zimbabwe, what pakistan was hoping and is hoping is if the match goes ahead, the pakistanis might recover some of their lost ground and particularly because they are playing in front of the home ground. there's a lot of anticipation excitement but at the back of their minds people are concerned that all this could be called off. >>> cricket australia announced an independent review into the batsman philip hughes who died after being struck by a ball during a match last year. cricket australia says it will not be about blame, but preventing an accident of this nature happening again >>> a

he went to a prestigious private school in islamabad. while in school he was a popular kid. he even had the lead in the music amp-- musical. then his parents divorced, and he came to the united states in 1998 with his mother. the divorce was not pretty. he struggled with it for some time according to the family friend. while here, as he started to mature he opened a pizza shop according to his mosque. that he attended mosque quite regularly, and that he had a son. from that point, it becomes very very hazy. how a guy who has tie to the community suddenly would take the step to violence. >> this is the elusive one. tell me about this second gunman, the roommate. >> reporter: the reason we know more about him is because he has a criminal record. elton simpson was known to the feds. he had been arrested in 2011 for lying to federal agents. we have heard from his family. his family said they knew nothing about this. to them, he was a boy who grew up in this community. he was athletic. he played on his high school basketball team. he was the captain and seemed to do well. he did

embassy in islamabad to tip off american officials about bin laden's whereabouts? that's a very interesting report and i think we need to dig into it the deputy director of the cia has a new book out and he's going to be on cnn, he's the operational guy in charge of this operation. and i think it's a good opportunity to ask him about this. i mean the fact that there was a walk in -- the possibility, you know that's an interesting new dimension of the story, i think it needs to be dug into. who that walk in was, what he said how it fits into the larger picture, it's not clear yet. >> what hersh is also basing this article is that essentially the saudis were supporting bin laden for years while he was in hiding which i mean bin laden was a sworn enemy of the saudis. >> right, if there's one person the saudis would want to kill in fact according to al qaeda itself there were multiple assassination attempts before 9/11 by the saudis the idea that they were financing him, it doesn't pass any common sense test. and pakistan and saudi are very close allies. what -- if the

he went to a prestigious private school in islamabad but in phoenix he was a pizza shop owner and had a son. one of our local affiliates in texas spoke with his grandmother who says she doesn't think that her grandson was the instigator of this. here's what she told kprc. >> did he have a problem with how things were going in the united states? did he feel like muslim people were persecuted? >> i don't think so. he wasn't persecuted. whoever he was with talked him into it. >> that's how you feel about it? >> no other way it would have happened. >> reporter: we spoke with the mosque president where the two attended and he says through the years he spent with these two men, he didn't see any outward signs of radicalization. carol? >> all right. kyung lah reporting live from phoenix. >>> the gunmen didn't come close to entering the building in garland, texas. they were taken down by a lone police officer. ed lavandera has that side of the story. good morning, ed. >> reporter: fbi investigators finished up their investigation on the street. this is where everything unfolded yesterday. thi

joining me now from islamabad is camille hyder. what are you hearing about the tour?to an official of the pan stan cricket board who said that he was very optimistic that the zimbabwean team will go backon with the plan with it and an aannouncement was likely within the next few hours from the cricket board to that effect. so room for optimism as far as the series with zimbabwe is concerned. >> how important is it for both pakistan, cricket and for the fans there if this tour does go ahead? >> it is crucial because, as you mentioned earlier after the deadly attack on the sri lankan team and given the security situation in pakistan many teams were reluctant to come to pakistan. pakistan has seen deadly attacks, terrorist attacks, bomb blasts. and so it was going to be very difficult to the try to convince somebody to come to pakistan. so, it's a major step. it is hoped that it will revive international cricket and, of course, the fans across this country who wereare mad about the game will be excited to see the zimbabweans playing in lahor. >> i know you will bring us

a guy walks into our station chief in islamabad. a guy named jonathan bank, and blabs. he wants the $25 million. he got a lot of it in various chunks. and out of that begins a project. we're going to go take a look at what's going on. is he really there? the president is very skeptical. so on begins -- >> can i ask you, there's one item which has been raised about that treasure trove of documents, right? i mean, there's a number of things in your piece you say are essentially fabricated post facto as a means of trying to sort of create a story other than the actual story, whether that's out of concern for the politics of how it went down or protecting the source. one of them is that those documents that were found were essentially invented. but we do have, as someone at carnegie pointed out, zawahiri himself essentially vouching for the documents found, quoting them as legitimate. which makes it seem a lot more difficult to think those are forgeries. >> the issue is, did the s.e.a.l.s on that mission who were on the mission, take out what the government said initially.

he went to a prestigious elite private school in islamabad and then suddenly he left pakistan.re's a gap of knowledge in what we know. in his mid-30s, though he came here to this apartment complex to be roommates with the other would be gunman. it is through this busted doorway the would be gunmen lived and hatched a plan. na deer nadir sufi grew up in pakistan and still has family there. elton simpson, no other history of violence. neighbors in their apartment complex saw nothing outwardly alarming from the two roommates. ariel whitlock had been texting simpson who put his car up for sale. >> i'm getting goose bumps thinking about it because i wanted to buy that car. knowing that it's on the news i see it and it's just blown up. i was going to purchase that car. >> you don't think like maybe he's going to go plot something and you're giving the money to help him go plot something is how i feel now. but that's crazy. >> reporter: neighbor tim raines never suspected. in fact he saw nadir sufi as a good samaritan who helped him in a medical emergency. >> you had contact with one

pakistan in the 1990s after his parents divorced that he went to a prestigious private school in islamabad, and he spent many of his formative years in pakistan. as far as a man who does have a criminal record elton simpson, he of much more known to people here in the phoenix area. and we spoke to the head of the mosque where he has known him for some ten years, and he says still even knowing the 2011 arrest that he had for lying to the fbi, he says he never saw this coming here is what he told us. >> he was always jovial nice to talk to. a lot of kids around the mosque liked him because he played basketball and he used to help teach them basketball. overall, he was a nice person. i don't know what happened to him. it's a shock to the community that he would be involved in such an act. >> and we also did speak with elton simpson's attorney and she says that she has had a number of contacts with him over the years, but even that even by defending him in 2011 she wasn't all that alarmed. she was frankly surprised when all of this happened. jim? >> this is one of the enormous difficulties wit
