obviously the tevlins primary concern at this point is their other three children who are heartbrokenof their mother. and, but as this goes forward and the more we learn bit, the more it raises questions whether or not there is an act of terrorism or whether it's a hate crime. lis what do you think? >> i think when you look at federal level there definitely could be a terrorism crime here associated. a murder, of course. we've seen that, i think the escalated, his own words, i did this because of this, that can escalate it either to a hate crime or terrorism crime. get into the federal level. for that there could be the death penalty. martha: doug, obviously they have to find out if he did have any ties to overseas terrorists. >> yes. martha: there are two kind of terrorist acts that could happen, nadal hasan, fort hood shooter, he began to praise allah according to witnesses in the room. he was following writings of anwar al-awlaki. he said he wanted to kill these people, three in washington state and brendan tevlin as well, he was outraged by military killings in afghanistan and syr

he was among the first to draw attention to the case of murder victim brendan tevlin.ght is his confessed killer, mohamed brown. according to court documents brown says he murdered the innocent college freshman for "vengeance." bob sexton national security editor of theblaze.com. bob, good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> this guy's a confessed murderer of four people, three in washington state, one in new jersey who was brendan tevlin who you need to google because he is the poster child for what you want your child to grow up to be from everything i've read. and he was gunned down like an animal in the street while just driving his car because mr. brown believed he deserved it thanks to the u.s. actions against muslims. this is what brown told the cops. so i ask you whether this is the future that we're going to need to deal with when it comes to isis, al qaeda or anybody else, this type of lone wolf terrorism that pops up and doesn't get called what it is? >> it's absolutely the future. and it's something we've been dealing with for years now. but the situati

now show me the picture of branden tevlin. i know this family personally, my son goes to school with his younger brother. here is a kid who was murdered a couple months ago. everyone thought it was a drug deal gone bad, but this kid is a straight-a sawed student, then they thought this was gangland-style murder, because he was shot six, eight times, left to die. ben show this guy, mr.ali muhammad brown, it turns out he lived in north carolina for a while, traveled around the country and has decided to take up arms for jihad. he believes that his goal in life is to pay back -- a life for a life. i'm going to bring it around, michelle. we don't necessarily have to wow irabout our border, they're home ground right in our backward. >> yeah, there are thousands who have actually from the west who have gone to fight with isis. that is a problem, which is why it's important we revoke that are passports immediately, yet the state department doesn't want to confirm what they're doing. they shouldn't be allowed to come back to america.

we saw the case of tevlin recently shot down, we talked about him, in his jeep by a man claiming to have done it in the name of radical islam and had connections to it. now we see this. we don't know what this man's full story is, but there's an awful lot -- if you look at his facebook page, there's ed of an actual beheading. it's too graphic to describe on tv. in addition to all the stuff trace told us about, twin towers burning, islam will dominate the world, on and on it went. pictures of bin laden. here's some of it. some is too graphic to put on television. twice now. >> right. >> not terrorism. >> in the new jersey case it's very problematic because the new jersey officials, tevlin victim, the defendant cannot be exposed to the death penalty. if the feds stay out, there's no death penalty. >> but here they can. you commit first-degree murder in oklahoma. >> and you are convicted, you are more likely than not to be executed. >> maybe the feds are staying out because it's a simple murder case without adding the terrorism charge. >> i have to tell you this is the government's greatest

brendon tevlin, who was is the years old, weighs shot in cold blood in new jersey.hmed sa jeed, 27 years old. dewan anderson young, 23 years young. and leroy henderson, 30 years old. they were in the seattle area. if this suspect says he was doing this out of vengeance for the killing that's going on in iraq, syria, and afghanistan, why aren't prosecutors charging him with terrorism? >> hi, alisyn. well, i think the important thing here is whether the prosecutors could prove that that was his intent at the time he did the killings. had he expressed that kind of attitude and desire to kill people on behalf of jihad before he killed them, whether it was to co-workers or friends, neighbors, family members, social media, e-mails, telephone calls, is this an idea that he had already put out and was pretty clear that that would be his intent? or is he a garden variety psychopath and he said all this after he was arrested just to get attention or just to cloud the issue? >> well, apparently when he was arrested in new jersey he was pretty forthcoming with investigators. he

brent can tevlin, murdered in new jersey. we have the moss -- mosque in boston. we even find a radical that he mentioned in hisup speech, the state department tweeted it, and he had to pull it back. they're not independent of each other. whether they work together or work in concert in the same kind of activities, they support each other x that's in the cause of terrorism. and we have another problem in this country not being discussed. we have a lack of communication between the fbi and boston pd, we have a lack of communication between the feds and local pd -- >> that's a problem. >> i've been talking to sources that they -- that say they don't know what's going on. >> you would have think they would have learned lessons from the marathon bombing. the mosque was directly tied to an individual they believe may have been or is involve inside heading up the social internet aspect of isis. >> right. and a graduate. we're educating these people in this country who are taking their skills and putting them to use overseas. only 12. >> i but we have to have some faith

brown is accused of gunning down 19-year-old brendan tevlin in june while stopped at an intersection in new jersey. brown claims he's a devout muslim angry at the u.s. government's role in afghanistan, iraq and iran, saying, "all these lives are taken every single day by america, by this government. so, a life for a life." >>> the united states has a plan to deal with isis, and now it must execute. president obama authorizing air strikes on isis leadership as we learn the true size of the terror group's forces. for the latest, leland vittert is live in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, ainsl ainsley. the latest cia estimates shocked folks. 20,000 to 30,000 or even more is the latest number from the agency and it certainly has a lot of folks in washington saying how did this change? the agency cites better intelligence on their part. they initially said it was 10,000 there who had sworn allegiance to isis. in large part, they say new battlefield successes is gleaning a lot more folks there, trying to join up in the fight against isis. and also, the fight against isi

he is accused of gunning down 19-year-old brendan tevlin in new jersey.gle day by america by this government, so a life for a life. the young man who was murdered was a member of the national honor society, eucharistic minister and finished college. >>> the brother of reporter james foley says that he was threatened not just by the terrorists, but by our own government? listen to this. >> we're appalled by the situation. it we want past not doing everything they could, they got in our way. and that's what really bothers me to the core, you know. i was specifically threatened by the department of state about raising funds towards ransom demands for my brother. >> he added having european nations pay ransoms while the united states does not sends an inconsistent message to the terrorists. >>> back here at home, there are a whole lot of ways to get out the vote and congressman james cliburn has a pretty unusual way to suggest doing it. he was speak to go a caller on c-span in a south carolina democrat, mentioned all the ways that one can get out the word to

in the case of brendan tevlin maybe we're adding to the list in new jersey killed by a man who professedbe jihadist as well. what is being done about those people might be a more immediate question? >> that is the real issue because when i brought forth that, that last bit about, if they had the command-and-control, i don't believe they do. this is a cultural issue. it is a idealogical issue and these people are self-starters. they're self-motivated. they read the stuff on these websites and in these magazines that chairman mccaul put up. then they act out on that themselves. so there is no real command-and-control network that you can get into that we're used to dealing with from a military perspective. this is all bottom-up, self-motivated, put this stuff out there and then show people how to actually make the explosives an encourage them to act on their own. martha: well, we have to be on top of it as you well know and i think perhaps it is a good sign this man in rochester was arrested. apparently they had been watching him for some type. maybe some of the surveillance, things we've

at this point it's about remembering brendan tevlin.d for being an american. >> what are his parents saying? >> they are devastated. clearly. three other kids in the family. they really wanted it known and that's where i felt compelled to say something that he was a good kid. he was the kind of kid you hope your kid will grow up to be. >> did the white house send two emissaries to his funeral. >> i don't believe so. >> they didn't. >> i don't believe so, no. >> sad. >> thanks for coming on. >> coming up the parents of james folly reveal their frustrations with the government's efforts to bring him home. >> we were told that we might be prosecuted. big deal. i would rather be in a prison here than my son being in prison over there. >> so the obama administration threatened to rest them if they tried to free their son. you have got to hear more. we have it and, how much does it cost to raise a baby in america? we break down the least and most expensive cities to be a patient. so think -- a parent. think before you procreate. we have the t

i mean, it matches some of the reports when you look at the murder of brendan tevlin.er issues here across america that could be home grown. >> yeah, linked -- i'm sorry, linked to the web who is somebody else who has a habit of radicalizing the congregation. >> yeah, and that's happening. inside the country. and we don't hear a lot about it, until something gruesome happens. >> steve, you actually spoke to one of the witnesses of fort hood in 2009 on the shooting there -- >> saved nine people's lives. >> true hero, and he said look, it can be workplace violence, but it can also be terrorism, it can be both, take a listen. >> i think the more and more that you look into the suspect's facebook page and his ideology, i think you can really find the underpinning of why this happened. you know, an angry coworkers doesn't just, people typically run into that situation, you'll see a shooting or something like that, but you won't necessarily see someone get their head severed from their body. >> yeah. well put. you know, so we'll hold our breath to see if the administration r

. >>> a fox news exclusive now for the first time we are hearing from the parents of brandon tevlin,pay back for u.s. military involvement in the middle east. >> in our opinion, he is a murderer and in this case, they don't think he acted alone. >> definitely he was looking to kill somebody. he changed his clothes. he was there to do what he did and what he accomplished. in some ways i think why was it our son? if it wasn't him, it would be somebody else. >> brandon was a member of the national honor society, a eucharistic minister and fund his first year at university of richmond. >>> some e-mailed us about this story. american flags confiscated on september 11. the flags were on students' cars. the school removed them. a rule determines they were a distraction. we tracked down one mom who was so disgusted by what happened, she is fighting back. >> our american flag is our symbol. it's different than any other flag that's out there. it was taken those children's rights away and i felt like they needed a voice. >> the school now taking a look at that policy to see if it should be cha
