s handling the case, the house homeland security chairman mike mccall left open this window for furtherxploration of this. quote, in the coming weeks, the homeland security committee will ask how this happened and how we can prevent it from happening again. chechnya is an overwhelmingly muslim region noted for its especially ruthless terrorist attack, perhaps the most gruesome were the moscow theater attack where they took 850 hostages while demanding withdrawal of russian forces. it ended after three days when russian forces pumped an unknown gas into the theater, killing all of the terrorists and many of the hostages. then there was that awful massacre in 2004 where chechen separatists took over an elementary. several hundred were killed, many of them children. neil? >> neil: doug, thank you very, very much. much will be said of what these brothers said and wrote electronically to the world, to the world wide web, postings on facebook, twitter. you'll hear a lot of that and in the next two hours, probably more than you care to over the next two days, two weeks, two months, two years,

mike mccall is regularly briefed on the investigation. >> this transmitter that was used out of a toy car, that's a very sophisticated pressure cooker bomb that you don't see every day. and so i personally, my judgment is they had training performed by either an individual or individuals who are still at large. >> reporter: throughout the day in boston where the vice president attended a service for the m.i.t. police officer shot dead during last week's man hunt, the administration struggled to reconcile its case. >> whether it's al qaeda of the fattah or two twisted, perverted cowardly knockoff jihadists here in boston, why do they do what they do? >> reporter: the characterization of the tsarnaev brothers as home grown terrorists with no foreign ties prompted questions. >> that investigation is not complete and we're not going to make any conclusions until we have all the facts. >> reporter: while it's not clear whether the secretary of state kerry's comments were briefed, he said it's key. >> we had a young person who went to russia and chechnya bewe people up in boston. he came ba

mike mccall wants a full investigation of what the f.b.i. did in this matter. i think so. bad enough what happened at the boston marathon. this could have been worse. we can't allow a situation like this to occur in the future. you would think anyone who interviewed someone that the russian government said was a terrorist and you had a file on him, interrogated and pictures of him, somehow it would be in your head if a bomb goes off, one of the first people you think of. i interviewed a guy two years ago. let me check the file out. i don't know why it wasn't done. >> eric: we get janet napolitano testifying that he pinged the system. part of the anger in boston -- look at the "boston herald" editorial entitled "ping this, janet." they warned us the region pinged when he left. but when he returns from chechnya, nobody knows or care. the dead and wound who had are friends and neighbors deserve an answer. what should the answer be? >> it should be we can never allow it to happen again. it should have gone to joint military task force and direction of the f.b.i. in boston. par

i spoke with the congressman mike mccall, chairman of the house homeland security and talked about theatest intelligence he has received. these two men were in fact the suspects in the case. >> i think as you and i have talked over the last several evenings, this videotape and explosive forensics are really the key to this case and now the videotape has come out. i want to first of all commend the joint terrorism and boston police department for making significant progress in this case. remember, this -- these images are going to go viral all over the world to millions of people and this is where they obviously can apprehend them on their own. this is where the american people can really make a difference and i hope that that will happen soon. but as you mentioned, i think a very important point to all of this, this is not a lone wolf case. there are two. and where there are two, there may be more. this is a conspiracy now because you have two actors working together. we probably have a terrorist cell now. other individuals may have worked to prepare for this terrorist attack and so i

chairman mike mccall saying there's rush to judgment and the boston bombings could be part of a bigger conspiracy. they want to know more about how tamerlan tsarnaev name got misspeeld on span airline ticket and they're asking why his trip back to the region did not raise more of a red flag. i want to bring in both of you and let's start with susan. >> when you look at it wob could this wiretap have been a game changer and what do you do about it if you're in the administration or if you're in congress. >> it could have been. white house said the fbi did a serious inquiry clearance on this guy when they got the query from the russians but they didn't know this latest story about the use of the word jihad. so surely that would have prompted a more extensive investigation. you know, the fbi of course is doing this hundreds and thousands of times checking out people that foreign governments raise questions about and the question is at what point is the investigation can complete? at has what point do you need to do more, have continuing surveillance. this is one of the big egs things that

congressman king and homeland security chairman mike mccall are drafting a letter to get a copy of the classified briefing. we also know that next year, 2012, tamerlan travels to dagestan for a period of six months with a couple of brief trips to chechnya. it's not clear if during that six months something happened. did he get some kind of training there? roger is an nbc terrorism analyst and former white house counterterrorism official. don clark is a former fbi special agent. good morning to both of you. >> good morning, chris. >> good morning. >> mike rogers said the fbi did a thorough job but not everyone agrees. i guess for starters, let me ask you. is it possible something was missed here? >> well, you know, it's always possible something was missed. we don't know what information the fbi had when they first started to investigate this and you take an investigation so far and you get to a point that you say, okay, we don't have anything here. doesn't mean they stop at that point but it means they didn't have it there. keep it mind when you're involved with terrorists, they do eve

but i agree with mike mccall. the law enforcement people i have spoken to, these are two unrelated events. it does remind me back to 2001 where we had the 9/11 attacks and shortly after that we had the anthrax arriving on capitol hill. again, i think these off-campus facilities, if you will, that stop the mail and protect not just congressmen and senators, but staff members. dom daschle staff, some of his staff are still sick from the anthrax they inhaled. i do think it's a coincidence. >> back to the terror attack in boston, you were one of the early voices to the that were warning people in fact the crazy back and forth in the media, we have a suspect, he's on his way to the courthouse, all of that that was going on, you were saying, no, hold on a second. how do you interpret what is going on right now and that is the cancelled, for example, briefings by the fbi and now law enforcement, they have been distributing the pictures of these two individuals. your thoughts? >> you know, we don't really know why they ca

is congressman mike mccall chairman of the house homeland security committee.gressman, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> you were briefed on the investigation yesterday by members of the intelligence community. what if anything have you learned that would make you think the fbi did not go far enough when it investigated tamerlan tsarnaev back in 2011? >> you're right. they did have a russian lead saying he is an extremist. going to travel outside the united states to join up with underground extremists. they do put a lead on him for several months. they close the lead. it's a travel issue that has become kind of the big question here in terms of who knew what and when. the fact is the fbi told us several days ago they did not know that he traveled to russia at that time. the department of homeland security secretary napolitano testified that a flag did go up on their data base which is a different data base. you basically have the department of homeland security with the information he's traveling to the chechen region and the fbi not knowing a

chairman mike mccall saying there's rush to judgment and the boston bombings could be part of a bigger want to know more about how tamerlan tsarnaev name got misspeeld on span airline ticket and they're asking why his trip back to the region did not raise more of a red flag. i want to bring in both of you and let's start

two house republicans, jeff duncan and mike mccall, asked for an inquiry into the government's stockpilingon. afraid that the government is trying to seek war on its citizens and just not, you know, trying to save money by buying in bulk. elsewhere in the land beyond reason. senator ted cruz is opposing ratification of the u.s. arms treaty. arguing it's a back-door employ to restrict americans' second-amendment rights. treaty exists to curb international arms trafficking and has nothing to do with the second amendment. it's supported by every country in the united nations except iran, syria and north korea and senator ted cruz of texas. and after saying that the party must make inroads with women, rnc chair raince priebus is back at it attacking planned parenthood and saying that democrats support infancide. what is the cause of all this wackiness? might the gop theory stem from the facts that the tactics they so often use to divide the country are now dividing them? the national journal's ron brownstein writes while wedge issues are mostly a republican weapon's it's now most orrin democra

house homeland security chair, mike mccall insisted that investigators should pay attention to the family's. >> why is chechen important? i think the american people need to understand this. the chechen rebels are some of the fiercest jihadist warriors out there. they're angry with russia, but they've also made an alliance with al qaeda. you have to understand they've worked with al qaeda in pakistan, afghanistan, one of my constituent's sons was killed in iraq by nine chechen rebels, so they're in the fight. >> the younger brother, dzhokhar's russian social media page listed several chechen causes. and when he was assigned by his high school english teacher to write an essay about something that he felt passionate about, he chose the troubled land of his ancestors, chechnya. as evidence of the continued and deep fracture between the two countries, in 2011, the fbi questioned tamerlan tsarnaev after russia expressed concerns about his radicalization, but yesterday the dagestan affiliate denied having any connection to the brothers. in a statement the group announced it was not fighting agai

third development comes from the head of the homeland security committee, republican congressman mike mccall, who has been briefed on the investigation. he told fox earlier today he had an initial reporting there was shrapnel, ball barges, incorporated into the devices. that's more evidence they were designed to cause mass casualties in boston today, greta. >> the saudi national that they were their attention on, you cut out on me a little bit in the beginning, is this the person who is burned in the hospital or is this somebody different? >> this was simply described to me as somebody of interest, not a suspect, and somebody who they were trying to run down the details of their student visa, which did appear to be legitimate, greta. >> as far as our reporting tonight, we have no idea where this person that they are interested in, we have no idea whether he is still on the streets someplace or something has happened to him, is that right? >> this is someone who we believe is being questioned this evening. this is not someone who they have launched a manhunt for. but i want to put it in conte

time ago we heard from the head of the house homeland security committee republican congressman mike mccall who confirmed that he is getting reports that the devices contained ball bearings, so shrapnel. that is a critical marker here. the other thing i would draw your attention to is the fact that the explosions were nearly simultaneous and about 50 to 100 yards apart. what has the intention of at least one source who is following the investigation is that it is a standard practice to have that initial explosion with the idea that you will drive the public towards the secondary site which is, in fact, a larger device so that can maximize the casualties in an event like this. this is why people are discussing this as an act of terrorism first privately and now more publicly with administration officials. a final point, we just had confirmation in the last few minutes that the fbi, as well as the nctc, this is the national counter terrorism center, this is the group that was created after 9/11 to monitor threats against the united states will be briefing members of the house intelligence com

we 130 to congressman mike mccall, who has been briefed on the investigation, and he said he was getting initial reporting that shrapnel had been identified in the devices, and in this case specifically ball bearings. this is more evidence to show that the devices were designed to create a maximum number of casualties and also injuries. the fbi is on the ground in boston. they are taking that marathon route, which has now become a crime scene. they are gather the evidence like the residue from the devices to identify the explosives, the origin of the explosives, whether there is a signature of the bomb maker associated with these devices. every bomb maker makes them in a certain way. this helps them determine if all of the devices were made by the same individual or the same group, and then again this issue of the shrapnel. a final point on the timing of the two explosions. one, and then a second almost maidly after this is a classic hallmark of a terrorist attack. let me explain why. typically what you see is the first explosion that is designed to drive everyone towards the direction o

while we wait for the president, joining me here is mike mccall of texas here in studio. chairman, thank you for being here. the president will be out momentarily. i might interrupt you. your thoughts on this day, this attack, your initial thoughts. >> it's obviously huge tragedy and my hearts go out to the victims and their families today. this, in my judgment, has all the hallmarks of an act of terrorism. you have simultaneous bombings taking place at the finish line of the marathon. they always strive for spectacular mass casualty events. when you look at this, you can't -- i mean, i've been in this counterterrorism business for a while. now as chairman, i will tell that you i think it's very clear and i think the f.b.i. is treating it as such, that this was an act of terrorism. we just don't know who is behind it. >> we've been very careful all afternoon to not jump to conclusions. when you see multiple bombings like this, when you hear reporters and witnesses on the scene describing shotgun pellets or bb's, or metal balls that you've seen in these bombings before bei

representative mike mccall joins me, the chairman of the homeland security committee.d to see you. appreciate you taking the time. chairman, what is the latest you know right now? >> first of all, my heart goes out to the victims and their families. very, very tragic, tragic day. my assessment as chairman and also as a former counter-terrorism prosecutor is this has all the hallmarks of an act of terrorism. the multiple bombs going off simultaneously. mass casualties infliction and a spectacular event. that's what the terrorists always try to accomplish. it has awe the signatures of that. and i think right now i've been briefed by the white house, federal, state and local officials in the boston area. and now it's time to let law enforcement do its job. i can tell you this, we will bring the pierpetrators to justice. and then hopefully move this thing forward. >> and in your briefings, mr. mccaul, is there any sense -- let's start off first with the bombs. the explosive devices i'll say themselves. you know, former fbi assistant director told us that even the quality,

mike mccall is chairman of the full committee., i've been through this many times before, unfortunately. everybody wants the quick answer. the fact is i would rather be safe than sorry. i would rather have the investigators go through all the evidence. it is less than 24 hours and i think there is a lot of evidence there to go through, components of the explosive devices, the whole video cameras and also any information they're picking up. anything -- if someone saw something and are now saying something. i saw mike leiter was on before going back over previous phone conversations, previous intelligence that maybe was not thought to be important but now will have a different light to it. >> are you surprised -- you were talking earlier about how you had gotten a briefing just last week and nobody brought up even -- every once in a while there is chatter that you get briefed about that turns out to be nothing. but there was nothing like this having to do with the boston marathon? >> no, there was absolutely nothing at all involving

republican chairman of committee mike mccall weighed in on an exclusive interview on fox news sunday.e pressure cook ser a signature device that goes back to pakistan, afghanistan leads me to believe, and way they handled these devices, leads me to believe there was a trainer. question is where is the trainer or trainers. are they overseas in chechen region or in united states? that is the big question. >> heather: bill gavin is assistant director of f.b.i. in new york and vice president of a global security. are more people involved and what leads to you reach your conclusion? >> when i look at the bombers, it's not that complex, the pressure comber and timer but i have to believe -- pressure cooker. it's not hard to pick up information online and build a bomb. it's not like following a recipe. it's very difficult to do these things. the possibility of an explosion premature is very high. so i think in my mind that is the big question mark i still believe that perhaps there was some outside influence or help to make this bomb. >> heather: knowing the bomb specifics that were used the

the chairman of the house homeland committee security committee congressman mike mccall, said there'sence whatsoever that these two are linked. >> just a coincidence, you think? >> he's not saying whether it's a coincidence or not. he's just saying right now that the evidence doesn't support any sign at all that these two things are linked together. so he's not speculating. >> all right. shannon travis in washington. thank you so much. let's get straight back to boston now, chris cuomo and john berman are there continuing their conversation. hi, guys. >> thank you, christine. having a little audio problem but we're back. we're going to take a break. when we come back we're going to keep talking to fran and juliette. there's a lot to be learned from these photos. >> we're also take a look right now at what people are doing coming together to help the victims here. there are a lot of charity organizations right now, legitimate ones, but there are also some rip-offs. we're going to tell you how to tell the difference. >>> also you know that we're following other stories from around the g

the chairman of the house homeland committee security committee, whose name is mike mccall, he says no okay. thanks, shannon travis. we'll continue to follow that investigate. let's go back to chris cuomo and john berman in boston. hi, guys. >> thanks so much, christine. again we are on the streets of boston. right behind us is still this very active crime scene. investigators still poring over every inch of that. and it is still closed to the public. we are covering the latest breaks in this investigation this morning. >> the key, the pictures. the pictures of what they believe to be the bomb. we'll take you through them with an expert. what are the clues there? where will they lead? >> you're watching a special edition of "early start." [ female announcer ] life is full of little tests, but bounty basic can handle them. in this lab demo one select-a-size sheet of bounty basic is 50% stronger than one full sheet of the leading bargain brand. bring it. bounty basic. of the leading bargain brand. when ouwe got a subaru.s born, it's where she said her first word. (little girl) no! saw he

the concern that i have and chairman mike mccall has, he and i cosigned the letter together is this informationby russian intelligence. whatever we think of the russians they have an excellent intelligence service. and the fbi when they investigated him in 2011 didn't find anything. we are asking for all the information that was made available to them and what went on during that investigation. then subsequent to that he did go to russia for six months, which is an extended period of time and you would have thought that would have prompted the fbi to look back, to reopen this. then when he started posting youtube videos of anee radical eup eufpl iman, this is the fifth time i am aware of that someone has brought to the attention of the fbi, they investigate him, clear him and they go out and carry outer r*eus issues. martha: is this a matter of saying, you might want to coach an eye on this person? >> that raises the question too, how much cooperation is there on these cases between the fbi and the boston police, for instance? did the fbi advise the boston police of the information they had got

even congressman mike mccall, who chairs the homeland security committee is calling the mother, quoteerson of interest. so what exactly does that mean now? lis wiehl, could she face charges as what? >> first of all, the two phone calls are probably not enough. that's all we have now on the text. >> megyn: she knows he's a jihadi, right ready to die for . >> that's probably not enough. but if she had took a step in the conspiracy, then she would be a co-conspirator looking at the exact same charges as her now living son, exact same thing. or they could be an accomplice or accomplice after the fact. they're different gradations of accomplice, first degree and second degree. >> megyn: you must knowingly assist another in committing a crime, so she would have to know he was committing a crime. >> or knowingly. right. and take that step, again, as a conspirator. accomplice and conspirator, are pretty much the same thing. charged in different ways. but if she took that step, she did something, in other words, did she fund him somehow? did she knowingly fund the terrorism act? did she do som

texas congressman mike mccall says the fbi may have dropped the ball.e he is on "america's newsroom" earlier today. >> i think it's way to early to make that determination. i talked to director mueller yesterday, they are pulling all of their information and tpobgts together. the fbi will have their opportunity to lay all of this information out of the -- before the american people and we can judge. jenna: don bradley is a special agent in charge in new york and chief operating officer of the shaffron group of as well. you've looke worked on task forces before. talk to us about this present argument, as to whether or not the fbi dropped the ball. what are your thoughts on that? >> my thoughts on this are absolutely not. let. me explain why. certainly it would be easy for me to be an fbi apologist having spent 25 years. let's look at the facts. this case was opened as an assessment based on information from the russian government. jenna: an assessment of tamerlan. >> an assessment. it's an official word. there are three levels of investigation in the fbi
