my conversations with russian security services, they give no comment at all but there's a suggestion perhaps there is more information ticking around on their side of the fence. we do know this extremist militant was attending the same mosque here, an islamist accused of extremism by authorities. we know they attended the same mosque because his mother told me so. the question here is whether the men actually ever met at all or whether there was some other kind of link, perhaps tamerlan tsarnaev had to militancy here. he was here for six months. we don't know what he did for the first few of them. we know his aunt first saw him in march this year when he came here in january and his father turned up in may and he began helping him refurbish apartments around town, anderson. >> nick, the other day when you interviewed the mother, you asked her about the extremist who was killed in dagestan by russian authorities. was i correct, because when i heard it was sort of muffled on my earpiece, she claimed not to know who this guy was? if that's in fact what she said, do you buy that, that so

it is clear in this part of the world, russian security services have a tight grip. sed of tactics, russians appear to have contacted the fbi about tamerlan a couple years ago, suggesting he should be questioned. they of course will have their own inquiries to make. may use this as another example of the war they say they have been fighting against al qaeda militants in the region for years. jake. >> all right, nick paton walsh, let's explore that aspect of the story. the suspects came from a volatile region of russia, they have ethnic routes in chechnya in southern russia. in the caucasus region. as russia clamped down with sometimes brutal force, what began as a separatist movement became a radical movement. horrific attack on a russian school left more than 300 people, many children, dead. joining me from washington, d.c., christopher swift from georgetown university, an expert on chechnya, and constitutional lawyer. christopher, the brothers came from a volatile region. did ethnic ties necessarily influence their alleged actions? >> you know, it is too early to sa

spotlight, dozens of journalists passing past his apartment here, a man also briefly detained by russian security services trying to go to america, presumably hoping he might declare his son's name despite the constant drumbeat of evidence provided by u.s. officials. john? >> all right, nick paton walsh reporting from dagestan thank you so much. >>> we have pamela brown now at beth iz resrael deaconess hospi. pamela? >> reporter: john, we have learned from a doj source on background that even though charges have not been filed yet that they may be coming very soon, even while the suspect is still recovering here at beth israel deaconess. federal prosecutors have been here since last night working on the possible charges and that he will face terrorism charges according to a doj sources. now once those charges are brought forward he will be arraigned from their preliminary hearing will be set and he will be indicted on grand jury. also facing federal charges, right now he's in federal kus i can custody and will face federal charges and could face state charges of murder but from there a deal should be work

much of the tsarnaev family lives in dagestan and they're expected to meet today with russian security services. tamerlan tsarnaev's mother insists her sons are innocent. >> what happened is is a terrible thing, but i know that my kids have nothing to do with this. i know it. >> nbc's andrea hmong joins me from dagestan where the parents live. what is the neighborhood, the relatives, the extended family saying? we know what the mother says, she denies completely. >> good day, andrea, there's divided opinion in the neighborhood. obviously there is one camp that believes that, that finds it hard to believe that any of this could be true. a lot of it is actually based on what they think they know of the father, or the parents rather than the son. the younger son hasn't been here. and tamerlan wasn't seen around the neighborhood where the father keeps an apartment. which is where the interview with the mother was shot. and then there are other people who are very distressed by what's happened. they don't really know how to make sense of it. but they you know, they extend their condolences to the pe

but there are a lot of questions being asked about russian security services, maybe the same way the united states, how this person that was identified and flagged to be the fbi in the u.s. wasn't stopped when he was here. we spoke to a security analyst, somebody who keeps an eye on russian intelligence services who said it was shocking that here is a guy who is already on russian intelligence radar able to come into this country last year, pass right through moscow's airport and go right to this turbulent area of dagestan, right through, again, and back to the united states without ever being stopped or ever being questioned. >> jeff: charlie d'agata in moskow tonight, thank you. across boston today people gathered to pray, sing and to remember those who died. as elaine quijano reports tonight, one service took place outside near the marathon's finish line. ♪ with brotherhood ♪ ♪. >> reporter: just down the street from where the bombing went off, a congregation composed of different faiths came together to pray. >> we marched over here as a sign of solidarity, and as a way to recons

past couple of years from when he was first questioned by the bureau in 2011, when the russian federal security service came to us, why russians didn't provide us additional information and why there was a potential disconnect here but ultimately we may see the information and say post-attack hindsight is obvious. leading up to monday, none of it was clear. >> peter king is doing monday morning quarterbacking on the talk shows appearing on fox sunday say the fbi was aware of this guy and this is the fifth case. they used incidents to cite the fbi letting people slip through their fingers like the al qaeda recruiter, the little rock shooter and the accused ft. hood killer and the alleged american pakistani terrorist so when the congressman who is in charge of the house subcommittee on terrorism is coming out critical of the fbi, doesn't that say there are shoring up opportunities that we need to take very seriously here as the homeland is the battlefield. >> the homeland is a battlefield. there are tens of thousands of people dedicated to keeping us safe. i respect congressman king. he's thoughtful. he

russian security services have told their american counterparts the boston resident was seen meeting and leaving from the mosque with a known chechen terror recruiter, mansur nidal, who was killed in a stand-off with authorities while tsarnaev was in dagestan. the chechen insurgency is part of a larger violent group that has used a reign of terror in its efforts to impose islamic law and values across portions of russia. who moved to dagestan earlier and became part of the chechen terror group. plotnikov was killed by russian authorities in july of last year. tsarnaev last the country two days later for boston. russian authorities asked the u.s. to investigate tsarnaev two years ago, but did not provide specific new details until after the marathon attack. president obama said today he's asked for a full intelligence review of what happened, but defended the performance of american law enforcement. >> based on what i've seen so far, the fbi performed what it's supposed to be doing, but this is hard stuff. >> they're investigating whether friends or relatives knowingly or unknowingly

officials callender that russian security services wiretapped one of the boston bombing suspects as early as two thousand and eleven the conversations reportedly involved one of the top and they have brothers talking about jihad with his mother critics say that information should have been released earlier however new york university professor steven cohen says it was not a lack of integrity vented of the f.b.i. from taking action before tragedy struck but if you warnings were received from the russian intelligence services and not only about. one of the brothers of the older brother who died in boston but about the mother and there seemed to have been at least three or four messages from the f.s.b. that you russian intelligence services not only to the f.b.i. as initially reported but to the cia. one possibility is of course that it was a bureaucratic failure another possibility is that poor relations between moscow and washington devalued the russian report and when i say poor relations i mean particularly we are very anti putin and he crooned atmosphere because once that starts at the

no one within the russian government has commented specifically on just what the russians an their security serviceswhen they were bothered with tamerlan tsarnaev. only the russian president vladimir putin has said to his greatest regret russian security services were not able to provide any information to their american colleagues of operational significance. carol. >> that's phil black. investigators are also concerned about a man who they think may vin fluns vin fluns have inviewsed tamerlan named misha. >> when misha visited us he just kind of opened our eyes really wide about islam. he was really -- he's devoted and he's a verygood man. >> let's bring in our cnn national security analyst julia kichlt kiam to talk about this. talk about strange, new developments frightening new developments. so the russians we finally find out have recorded this secret conversation between the mother and maybe one of the sons and they mention the word jihad but they didn't tell authorities here in the united states until now. >> two take-aways. first, jihad means a lot of things 37 we're sort of curious in what

earlier on friday, anzor tsarnaev told me he was taken into custody by russian security services, questionedrs about his sons, but eventually released. wolf? >> phil black, we'll stay in touch with you. once again, we're trying to connect directly with the father of these two suspects. we'll have that interview here on cnn as soon as we manage to reestablish contact with the father of these two suspects. also we're standing by for a news conference any moment now getting ready to begin with the latest on the investigation, the manhunt under way. you'll see it live here on cnn. and the mother of both suspects is also speaking out insisting her sons couldn't have possibly done what they are suspected of having done. we'll hear from her and a lot more of the breaking news when we come back. ♪ [ female announcer ] from meeting customer needs... to meeting patient needs... ♪ wireless is limitless. ♪ from finding the best way... ♪ to finding the best catch... ♪ wireless is limitless. >>> we're standing by for a news conference the latest on the man hunt, a massive, almost unprecedented man hunt un

>> well, clearly the fsc, the russian internal security service, would have had source information, theybeen doing a lot of things. and that special forces unit just awould have been the action arm to go against them. when the russians come knocking, they mean business. they are covering not just a small number of individuals, they're covering hundreds or thousands of leads in their area. people wondered why, you know, when they sent us a lead, you know, how do they know? why didn't they do more follow up? they didn't do more follow-up because they have hundreds or thousands of their own leads because they're in a serious fight there in the caucasus. >> let's talk about the russian leads, that they provided to the u.s. over the weekend we learned that the russians had intercepted phone calls between tamerlan and dzhokhar tsarnaev's mother and tamerlan and also another person where they were discussing loosely jihad. the russians had that information, did not pass it on to the united states. how useful might that have been? >> well, look, they already provided a lead early on saying that

the number one development obviously is that the cia was notified by the russian fsb, the russian security servicester the russians went to the fbi, the fbi reported back to the russians that they didn't find anything, and then the russians basically took the file to the cia and said, hey, we want you to have a look which suggests that the russians were frustrated that they hadn't found anything. now the fbi will say, look, we went back to the russians, we asked them for more information and they didn't provide it, but it's clear now that the russians were trying to provide information and that our government didn't follow up on it or at least follow up on it as much as they might have. the second, i think, major development today is that we are seeing the consensus shifting on whether there might have been foreign involvement or jihadi training for tamerlan tsarnaev. others have reported there were no foreign ties. officials had basically ruled those out. we were getting that via leaks from the fbi and from others and there seems to be a broad reconsideration of that fact. i think it was reflected

in this way that helped them or led them to identify him as a threat for the moment the russian security service, fsb, nor the russian government are making any comment publicly on just what it was that led them to ask the u.s. for that sort of assistance. all the russian government is saying so far publicly is that it is willing to help the u.s. investigation in any way it possibly can. >> and we know that there was a telephone conversation between president obama and president vladimir putin. it's our understanding at least from crem sources it was initiated by the russians. what understanding is there, what level of cooperation will it give the u.s. going forward as they mount this massive investigation? >> well, the russian government says it stands willing to help in any way it possibly can. russia has been pushing for greater cooperation in areas of fighting terrorism for some time now. particularly when it comes to dealing with its own terror threat here on its own territory, particularly from that northern caucasus region. it has always argued it is part of the same terror threat the uni

this is the russian security service, their internal police, if you like. what did they know about tamerlan tsarnaev. why they were worried enough to look into him. we haven't looked back on this and that isn't a surprise because this is a highly secretive organization. the soviet police, the kbg. from the government we haven't heard a lot either. vladimir putin offers greater information and in reference to what russia a knew at the time back in 2011 it is only fair with great regret that they haven't provided information of operational significance. still important questions about the operation that went on around that 2011 period, but, since the bombings, both american and russian officials are saying they are working very closely together. >> that is the initial message. phil black, thank you for joining us from mascow. thank you. >>> we know that tamerlan tsarnaev and his mother was on a clearing house list for all international terrorist identities. basically, it's a watch list. about half a million names in da database. now, the percent of the people

. >> it is still a very, very firm no comment from the russian security service, the fsb.ot a very leaky organization when it chooses to be so and at the moment is it maintaining a very strict silence on what it knew about tamerlan tsarnaev and why it was worried about him and why it asked the fbi to investigate him in 2011. we know from the fbi they were told by russian officials they believed this man had become a radical follower of islam and he had -- those views had changed dramatically since 2010 as he was planning to visit russia. but we don't know why that is. but that rather vague information supports what we're hearing from tamerlan tsarnaev's own family in dagestan itself where they say, by the time he arrived in dagestan to visit them in early 2012, after the russians asked the fbi to investigate they say at that point they were surprised by how religious, how devout, how conservative he had become how seriously he took islam. far more seriously than the rest of the family. from their own words they say this is something he taught himself while he was still in

that he was of interest to have the russian security services. those are all points that the defense will explore, not unlike the d.c. sniper. you will recall there that the older man received the death penalty but the younger one did not. the defense has plenty to work with here. >> dzhokhar tsarnaev is 19 years old. dzhokhar tsarnaev is an adult. he was going to college. he has some level of intelligence here. so i'm not sure he can make the same kind of case in the sniper case that he was under the sway of an older person, no? >> that will be the question by the government and the defense will look at. the fact that he's 19 and a college student -- i've taught college before and a lot of 19-year-old college students are not very well versed in critical judgment and decertainment. there may be an issue there the defense can use. >> how else do you go about defending a case where you have multiple video images -- the fbi says they have an image of one of these men placing the backpack device? >> well, first the public defender, the federal publi

connection with a man of mixed dagestani and palestinian parentage who is being watched by the russian security services, mahmoud nadal. he was also killed in a shootout with russian security forces. the more we hear about this, the less comfortable, i would imagine, authorities on both sides are feeling about the fact that tamerlan tsarnaev has gone back for six months and not been picked up by almost anybody despite the fact he may have been consorting openly, it seems, with some quite militant jihadists. >> well, also, if this newspaper, russian newspaper report is accurate and a lot of the russian investigative journalists have done very good work in chechnya and dagestan, for those that have been critical of the russian government, it's cost them their lives. coincidence, these two boxers both radicalized. we look forward to learning more about this mohammed mahmoud nadal as well. we need to take these leads very seriously. >> absolutely. congressman, eric holder, the attorney general, has made it clear, we can play the clip, about what he thinks happened in terms of the reading of the miranda righ

the fbi and russian security service fsb involved in this questioning of the parents. i'm sure they're trying to piece together what exactly happened in those six months and perhaps any other visits that may have occurred here by tamerlan tsarnaev. it is apparently clear at this point the russians on two occasions asked american officials for assistance or further information about tamerlan tsarnaev and the americans consider that request to be a bit too vague. there is clearly going to be more of a diplomatic spat emerging out of this but i think, clearly, the thrust of the fbi investigation is going to be trying to find out exactly from the fsb perhaps the russian security services how much more they knew about tamerlan tsarnaev and perhaps any links he may have had to militants here in dagestan, wolf. >> all right. nick, stand by for a moment. i want to drill a little deeper right now in the possible influence or training by militants in dagestan. mick is standing by but i want to bring in our national security analyst peter bergen. what role has overseas training p

they are primarily concerned about russian security obviously. the russian security service. so the fbi when they initially get this report they don't know that the russians want the information because they think somehow tamerlan tsarnaev might be affiliated or have information about underground groups that are a threat to russia as oopposed to underground terrorist groups that might be a threat to the united states. the fbi is getting more information now from the russians including information about this wire tap. definitely some frustration that they didn't get this earlier. there are a number of developments today in the investigation just to bring you up to date. the fbi has just in the last couple of hours been at the home of the parents of the wife of tamerlan tsarnaev in rhode island seeking to question her. i am told she and her lawyer just left a little while ago from the home in rhode island where the fbi had been meeting with her. that is another angle that the fbi is pursuing. the fbi is making clear this investigation is far from over. any idea that this invest

this is a region where russian security services have tried to keep it incredibly tight. something like this is exactly the kind of thing. >> nick, thank you so much. stay safe. right now i have a police presenced in the hospital. it's where dzhokhar tsarnaev is recovering after being seriously injured. elizabeth cohen is outside that hospital. federal prosecutors are inside. could the suspect be charged today? >> you know, that's absolutely possible. well, maybe not today but certainly before he leaves the hospital. pamela brown spoke with the justice department official and they said it is quite possible he could be charged before he leaves the hospital. the big question is how long will he be here? all we know is he's in serious condition. i was there last night and heard all the gunshots. if he has gunshot wounds and possibly needed surgery, that recovery could take awhile. so we do know that federal law enforcement has been in there since last night and that they have been thinking about what kinds of charges they want to bring against him. it seems clear there will

indeed does 11 the same year a suicide bomber killed 37 and moscow international rport the russian security servicesushed the f and cia to investigate the a extremist ties. today the russian president said the boss and bombing should spur closer coordination between the u.s. and russia against a common enemy. confirmations of the bomb's detonator is most likely used parts from a remote-controlled toy car is evidence there were not the work of amateurs. >> these are very effective, small bombs. and i think people, younow, should i use the term, you know, a crude device, something of that nature. >> reporter: the justice department spokean disputed the handling saying that fbi agents were toldd advance of the magistrates appearance. federal law enforcement source who would thus become rords another the attorney-general or just a part of or involved. lou: thank you. fox news chief intelligence correspondent. the obama administration today said the united states has varying degrees of confidence that the syrian regime is now twice used chemical weapons. white house officials say more definitive proof is

that over the past few years, there has not been a whole lot of cooperation between the russian security servicesservices. >> no. and let's be honest about what's going on in chechnya. under mr. putin, there have been horrendous human rights violations in chechnya. the country has been occupied and brutalized by russian forces for the last decade and more. that's not to excuse chechen terrorism. the chechen terrorists have carried out absolutely horrible acts of terror against movie houses, against schools, but what we've seen in chechnya is a growing radicalization of the population under the oppression that they're getting from russia. and it's difficult in that kind of environment for security exchange to not be politicized sooner or later. we know what's going on in check nia. our fbi, our c.i.a. know what's going on in chechnya. when they get information from the russian service, they should look at that information and decide does it actually give them any leads in terms of intelligence inside the united states of america. but they should be reminded where the information is coming from. >>

struggled and was uncomfortable if i asked if russian security services were here and if they had been in contact with him. i also asked him when is the last time you spoke to your son. i couldn't really hear his response and that was when he began to put the automatic weapon up on an outstretched arm holding a microphone. a man uncomfortable in the spotlight. difficult questions for him to answer -- any father to answer about that child. now being asked that question. angry at much of the attention he's getting today. >> you said clearly angry. obviously emotional right now. in a sense of denial some might say. what do you think he makes of what's going on here in the united states? >> reporter: i'm sure in his mind he believes the images that he's been shown may not be entirely the whole truth. he seems entirely convinced of his sons' innocence. many people express disbelief and disregard of evidence that somehow the tsarnaev brothers are to blame. clearly as you saw there, a man deeply uncomfortable and deeply trouble and bear in mind a parent who has lost one son and televisions of

he said that now it looks like they'll have to cooperate much closer with the russian security services that's a good thing surely oh yes indeed and brings us back to where i mean the aftermath of stadium parking spokes instead of the regrettable is it to use it's necessary to have agreed to ring. in the church and political which was an implication that somehow areas should be involved but alas not please let me mention that helping cos have all been use of pain they are present in the presidents did not shelter the united states from a whole series of terrorist plots and actual attacks involving possible and macedonia mowbray needs like a species but as long as you have an immigration policy it makes no correlation between the ability of an individual to not look his new environment and the willingness of the nation of. his passport we will have this problem time and over again sir i just want to get some clarification you mentioned there are but the hate within some of these some of these it is a myth but why is there a correlation between islam and hate it isn't it islam is that fea

connection with a man of mixed dagestani and palestinian parentage who is being watched by the russian security services, mahmoud nidal. he was also killed in a shootout with russian security forces. the more we hear about this, the less comfortable, i would imagine, authorities on both sides are feeling about the fact that tamerlan tsarnaev has gone back for six months and not been picked up by almost anybody despite the fact he may have been consorting openly, it seems, with some quite militant jihadists. >> well, also, if this newspaper, russian newspaper report is accurate and a lot of the russian investigative journalists have done very good work in chechnya and dagestan, for those that have been critical of the russian government, it's cost them their lives. but particularly interesting, if tamerlan went to a russian agency to get a passport to replace his passport, you would think that all kinds of red flags would have gone off if they didn't catch him on the flight in. so you would think that the russians were very much watching what he was doing, but they may not have. they may have missed it a

will be continued high level constant negotiation and cooperation between the american and russian security services as consequences of the boston bombings. i think the real attempt by the kremlin to be out front saying we're continuing to cooperate as much as we can, wolf. >> that could be a really significant development if in fact that cooperation does take place. nick paton walsh on the scene for us in moscow. thanks very much. >>> we're getting new word on the widow of tamerlan tsarnaev, he was the 26-year-old suspect who died. cnn's aaron mcpike is on the scene for us getting some new information. what are you picking up, erin? >> well, wolf, earlier this morning we saw federal investigators leave katy russell's attorney's office in downtown providence and came right here to katy russell's parents house, which is just behind me. about 20 minutes ago we saw five of those federal investigators enter katy russell's house. they've been in the house for about 20 minutes now. one of those investigators came outside the house. and we asked are you with the fbi, they said no comment. we have since see

this didn't come, this transcript didn't come when the fbi was first informed by the russian security services, fsb, about tamerlan and about their concerns about him. this is something come om only in recent days, wolf. >> as far as they're coming over here to the united states, they keep saying they're going to come. the father says he's ill now, he can't come. but the mother keeps saying she'll come if she can see her son. but if she comes, she potentially could be arrested on shoplifting charges because she skipped out, never went to court on those charges that were awaiting her. >> wolf, it's been very difficult to nail down with her what the real facts are in regards of her real intentions to come to the united states. she has said that her lawyers have told her that if she comes, then she wouldn't face any criminal prosecution on those shoplifting charges. she does appear now to be a person of interest. would she be questioned in relation to the specifically further questions in relation to the boston bombing, in relation to the tapping, in relation to the phone conversation we're now a

. >> if the fssb, the russian internal security services told us that someone was involved with the chechensthat would, in my mind, necessitate significant coverage for a period of a sustained period of time. did that happen? this is going to be the question for the bureau. they're going to have to answer these things. >> and the mother of the two suspects told russian television on friday that her son was controlled by the f.b.i. for three to five years, quoting from her, they knew what my son was doing. they knew actions and on what sites the internet he was going, end quote. in a statement that extensively praises the f.b.i.'s handling the case, the house homeland security chairman mike mccall left open this window for further exploration 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

was coming back, saying what he was up to over there, and that would have been up to the russian security service to tell us. what he's sdoog. >> no doubt, tough questions for the russian as well. thank you very much for your views this morning. >>> moments ago, the tsavraev parents held a news conference, father headed to the united states in a few hours. cnn senior correspond respondent nick patton walsh joins us. you spoke to their mother. but nic robertson, let's start with the news conference. what did they say? >> jake, it was about a 45-minute press conference. a lot of journalists, questions being fired in english and russian from all sides, a jumble of economi of questions. at times they seem confused. at times emotional, at times direct and strident in what they were saying. tamerlan's mother in particular, saying they wouldn't be allowed to see dzhokhar in the hospital in the united states. getting very emotional about that at a point. saying she was speaking to dzhokhar's lawyers and saying right now, he is being fed only by a feeding tube. can't take solid food and she also said and

the regions surrounding chechnya now there, is an ongoing conflict with russian soldiers, russian security services, russian police regularly fighting and often dying in armed battles with insurgents who continue to pose a threat to the security of this country. >> all right. phil block in boss cow, thank you so much. >> even though the brothers, now dead. we've begin their names. one on the loose. even though they are from chechnya originally, we have no idea their motivations of now. we can suspect them, but we don't know them. we don't known they have anything to do with chechnya, their religion. we just know one is dead, one on the loose. one other fact before we go to joe johns. is bunker hill community college, one of the things we know for sure about the brothers. one who was killed, the older brother, 26 years old. attended bunk every hill community college, studying injury. all i know is about bunker hill community college, that's where robin williams taught in "good will hunting." tell me about bunker hill community college. >> it's a familiar sight for a lot of people, a lot of prestigio

militants often being chased down by a very aggression russian security services. ion expanded? we have interestingly today heard kind of the first comments really from the russian government since president putin talked in his press conference last week about how they not have been able to get anything of operational significance, an aid to the saying that cooperation over this has reached a high level, continues to be as best as they possibly can in relation to the boston bombing and another suggestion too quoted by state the spokesman for that vladimir putin saying we're doing what we can. unfortunately we haven't been able to help so much because these guys w spending much of theirlight equivocation there, part of this suggesting a lot of cooperation and other parts trying to play down what they might be able to do to help. so clearly there is information being passed over, and because of that, russian apparently official reports suggesting that the mother of tsarnaev -- that nsk was passed over in the past few days. so cooperation ongoing, jake. >> nick paton w

don't know how important, how solid that information was, if it was coming from the russian internal security service>> you add up all the other things. the jihaddist videos on a web page by the older brother. tipped off by the russians that he was a jihaddist, and check him out. he goes over to an area with a lot of radical fundamentalism for a long period of time. those are pretty significant dots that could have been connected. >> well, in this case, again, if all the information put together does add up to that type of background and indicators, i have no doubt for the road ahead it will inform us. i can't see enough we don't have enough in the public realm situation, and really illustrates fighting the foot soldiers, individuals, is one thing, but getting ahead of the violent narrative of what is out there, al qaeda is absolutely crucial for now and the road ahead. >> you have been involved in interviewing suspects. how would you handle this situation? try to develop a rapport with dzhokar? >> that's it right from the beginning. some kind of relationship based approach. and an accord we call it.

you've got the russian security services, the infamous fsb not sharing with the u.s. both the u.s. ies very reluctant to disclose methods. basically the fbi says we went back to them and said we can't find anything on this guy. what is it about his so-called radicalization that has alerted you? and never got a response twice. and the cia then got the same inquiry from the russians with no more details and again went back to them. obviously something is wrong here. as you know, kelly ayotte has been talking about and john mccain, both have written today we have clearly not solved the problems of follow-up or information sharing. what some officials are saying is this means we have to again change the laws. that people have to be put on watch lists for -- with a lower threshold. >> yeah. >> now since those questions were raised by kelly ayotte and john mccain authorities are turning to the suspect's parents for answers. both are said to be cooperating with investigators. the suspect's father anzor tsarnaev is expected to arrive in the u.s. tomorrow for more questioning. so i do think,
