finally, the newest addition of al-qaeda in yemen inspire magazine eulogizes usama bin laden. the cover story claims bin laden fought back with weapons in a vicious battle with the u.s. navy seals. abc news notes that contradicts the white house version of events where bin laden resisted the seals but was unarmed when he was killed. >>> for years, the pakistani spy agency directed millions of dollars to a washington non-profit with hopes of influencing congress and the white house. this afternoon, a high profile pakistani man who lives and works in washington appeared in court. on charges of being an unregistered foreign agent. national correspondent steve centanni has details. >> reporter: there is no shortage of lobbyists in washington and nabifi was visible and energetic, promoting pakistan's views on kashmir. >> two million people reflect the true nature. >> but fai is under arrest accuse of of being unregistered foreign agent and made his first appearance in court. the f.b.i. carted evidence full of evidence away from the home in alexandria, virginia, and the office. fai t

usama bin laden even said, himself, he didn't want to have a similar operation undertaken for 9/11 whereroad as essentially he wants to look for people who might be already in place and do not have to pass through security portals, such as immigration or customs and they can undertake these sorts of attacks like fort hood, texas a few years ago. so, this is something... and you have to remember, anwar al-awlaki has a lot of understanding of the american psyche and american mindset and he speaks english well and can propagandize well and is considered to be particularly dangerous and usama bin laden perhaps didn't understand us as well as anwar al-awlaki does. >> we appreciate your expertise in the area. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. bill: we are getting word on breaking news, about the another potential terror plot, fort hood, texas. now, we have heard about this for an hour and 15 minutes and working through details trying to nail it down. exclusive information in a moment with jennifer griffin live at the pentagon, we will have that for you, in moments, right after this. are you

all right, brian. >> the rest of the world celebrated usama bin laden's death, our next guest was busyrk feverishly updating his thriller so the story line would be more relevant today. the author of the book "portrait of a spy" daniel silver joins us now in the studio. how dare they get him when they did? but almost fortuitous, you'd rather not release the book. >> i'm not one of these writers that has two or three finished books in the drawer that are waiting to go into production. i push a book, i write a book. i write very close to my publication date and in "portrait of a spy," usama bin laden was not a character but certainly a force within the book that was referenced several times during the book. he was alive in that book. that night, it was may 1st. while the rest of america was celebrating and i live in washington, half the city streamed towards the white house, i was sitting in bed with my manuscript which is not finished yet and i was able to quickly rewrite the book and bring it completely up to date. >> so "the portrait of a spy" is a novel but you had to talk to real li

bin laden unit and the author of "usama bin laden" joins us from d.c. >> the back story is the associated press after the bin laden kill did a story about this particular unit and they identified that, perhaps, the guy behind it was in this white house photograph and "the gawker" this lousy web site out there did the math, figured out, hoe, that's the guy and then outted a c.i.a. agent! >> well, you know, it's typical of most of the american media, steve, that they're very anti-agency. the idea that the agency was at that center of killing bin laden probably stuck in a lot of their throats. and now we see people like gawker and a.p. who have previously published stories about agency officers who are still serving and/or undercover. it's just an amazing situation in america where people are rewarded for in essence aiding and abetting the enemy. >> the problem for this person and we're not going to identify who he is in that picture. we've all seen that picture. we have no idea who most of the people are. but his well being is now in peril, i would imagin

that was announced by usama bin ladin now dead and by someone here and at that time in the middle we've been asking ourselves what a good norway but there is another one and the fact is that inside norway they wear homegrown or actually locally grown jihadi groups who have been battling politically with the government one of whom is or. a car who has been you know in the process of being deported but there is something else as well last week there was the publication of a book by the cultural editor of the danish newspaper that published the cartoons in norwegian language and there were threats so i want to put it in the framework of a struggle between the jihadist movement inside norway and the government and this is a you know very harsh warning to the government by those yard as well picking on what you're picking up on what you're saying there than terrorism it is thought is said to be spreading to northern europe has been traditionally the considered. there is a very safe air in the world i guess that's going to change after tonight well look there have been attacks before i can't

now learning more about an assassination attempt on a top terrorist in yemen, just daying after usama binen was killed. u.s. jets on may 5 set out to kill anwar al-awlaki, the american born cleric and al-qaeda leader now considered to be a big threat to america, one of the biggest, actually. officials say a missile struck the back of al-awlaki's truck. but he survived. switched vehicles and escaped. as other terrorists drove to trals.ea to confuse those >>> there were no shaving cream attacks today but the "news of the world" phone hacking scandal is continuing to cause dust-ups in britain. news corp, the parent company of the now defunked tabloid as well as fox news. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is in london with the latest. >> reporter: embattled prime minister david cameron cut short trip to africa to appear at the british parliament house of commons and it turned in raucous exchange where cameron had to defend his role in the growing phone hacking scandal here. that involved allegations of wrongdoing at the now close "news of the world" newspaper. owned by rupert m

when president obama had the seal team to have them kill usama bin laden, i was on tv for the next weekpeople asking me so does this mean he will get re-elected? no. while it was courageous and good, this election is about jobs and growth and a choice as to we grow or decline. this is going to last about eight minutes. >> bob: i agree with that. but the other piece is this mandates, the deal mandates that 12 members of congress get together and come up by the end of the year with a plan that has to be voted on up or down no, amendments. i'm giving you -- i'm trying to give you something you don't quite understand up hire in new york. >> eric: the stock market turned down, the real estate market turned down. gold is $1602 an ounce today for one reason. record high. people out there, traders out there, the world realizes whatever plan they have in store, trillion-and-a-half ain't going to cut it. >> bob: it's all barack obama's fault. price of toilet paper went up. that is obama's fault. what else, your car is not working well? get off of it. >> andrea: you can thank the republicans for n

perhaps the most wanted al qaeda terrorist after usama bin laden and his deputy ayman al zawahiri.s first reported by abc news. but now senior u.s. defense and intelligence officials tell fox that on may 5th, just four days after the bin laden raid, intelligence provided by the yemenese in an effort to gain u.s. help to keep yemeni president in power that intelligence allowed u.s. officials to attempt a dangerous raid to assassinate al awlaki in yemen. he is the terrorist as you mentioned wanted for dispatching the christmas underwear bomber among orioles. problems with the jet sent on the mission, they were running low on fuel i'm told by two defense sources with knowledge of the mission and problems with the new missiles being used, griffin missiles which are essentially new and improved hell fire missiles that were attached to a special operations fixed wing plane caused the mission to fail. in fact, those griffin missiles struck the vehicle in which awlaki was traveling, i'm told. because they didn't detonate properly, he had time to get out, change vehicles, and he managed to

officials are now saying the death of usama bin laden has raised the risk of attacks on u.s.other targets around the world. president obama's choice to head the nation's cop counter terror agency says that the united states has managed to weaken al qaeda since the attacks of 9/11. he warns the terror network is still a threat to the united states and to americans, one that's expanding to new locations. catherine herridge works intelligence for us live in d.c. tonight. as you have been reporting, one of those locations is yemen, right? >> well, that's right, shep. the president's nominee to head the national counter terrorism center or ntc told congress today that al qaeda is more diverse and is no more like fortune 500 company with al qaeda leader like bin laden as the ceo. >> recent events would suggest that the regional affiliates, particularly al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and its presence in yemen have shown a willingness and a level of capability to strike in the united states. >> and as we have reported extensively on your show al qaeda and yemen was behind the two

you will recall the fbi once put jeffs on 10 most wanted fugitives list alongside usama bin laden. he raped a 12-year-old girl in 2006 a year after impregnantating a 15-year-old. all while leading the fundamental church of latter day church saints. he was silent yesterday. now is he making threats in court. >> after he gave his 55 minute objection sermon, harris, he said he wanted to read a message from god: the judge immediately dismissed the jury. warren jeffs went on to say if the trial was not halted immediately, all those involved will face sickness and death. she admonished jeff if he threatened the jury he would be removed from the courtroom. so far outburst and objections. no sure how long she would tolerate that. when the prosecution did get a word in edge wise. the courts have consistently ruled against polygamy and practice of sex with children. remember, the prosecutors plan to play an audiotape of jeffs sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl and if at some point jeffs cannot continue to defend himself, his former attorneys are observing in court. listen. >> the judge a

he once graced the fbi's most wanted list alongside usama bin laden after a woman claimed jeffs forced her to marry and have sex with her 19-year-old cousin when she was a 14-year-old child. now he can face life in prison if convicted on these charges that he sexually assaulted two underaged girls. trace gallagher with the news in our news hub this afternoon opening statements i guess today. what went down? >> >> on the part of warren jeffs, shep, it was dead silence. he did not say a word in court. he just sat there at the defense table staring down. so the judge allowed the prosecutors to begin calling their first witnesses and still jeffs remained silent. even though he is representing himself, his lawyers are still in court watching in case they are needed. during a break they finally pulled him aside and told him that silence in this case when you are your own lawyer is a very bad strategy, shep. >> shepard: trace, what did the prosecution have to say through this? >> well, the prosecution's opening statements lasted about 35 minutes and they stunned the courtroom when they said t

meantime, the state department warning the killing of usama bin laden could increase the terror threat to americans around the world. that's why officials are reiterating the warning today. the initial alert was set to expire next week. the warning describes ongoing attacks by al-qaida including suicide attacks, assassinations, kidnappings and hijackings. a law me want to help september 11th first responders with health coverage will not apply to people with cancer? a new government study says there's an insufficient link between toxins at ground zero and documented cancer cases. but that is not sitting well with many. >> i've been to 53 funerals. 51 are because the person died of cancer. >> the government will do another study on cancer cases next year. an update on the mother convicted of killing her 4-year-old son because she was jaywalking with him when he was hit by a car. a judge in georgia gave her a choice yesterday, 12 months probation or a new trial. the driver who killed her son not only admitted to drinking, he was convicted of two hit-and-runs before. so what fate raquel n

daddy of them all when it comes to islamic terrorist groups, they spawned hamas and al qaeda, bill, usama binlid sheikh mohammed, all of these al qaeda kingpins before they formed al qaeda, they belonged to the muslim brotherhood. bill: much of that came out of egypt but the report today is done by a group out of florida, citizens for national security. are you familiar with this group? >> you know, i don't know too much about the group, bill... bill: apparently they'll name names. >> okay. i'm looking forward to it. yes, look, number one, the islamic society of north america, an alphabet soup of these islamic groups and the islamic society of north america is named in those muslim brotherhood documents, that i mentioned. yet, bill, this is a group that has an open door, to our white house. this is a big problem, because the muslim brotherhood's goals, yes, they differ in tactics from al qaeda but the goals are the same as al qaeda. bill: what do you mean? what do you mean they have a front door pass to the white house? >> well, look, this is a group that is in meetings with the obama white h

the interrogators operated within the parameters of the system and they point to the killing of usama binre they say the foundational piece of intelligence came from that cia interrogation program, julie. julie: interesting. catherine herridge in washington, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. julie: jon. jon: the stalemate in washington over america's financial future. president obama sz it's time for wealthy americans to pay more in taxes. but republicans say they won't raise taxes on anyone. so how might this latest show down affect reaching a deal on the debt ceiling? jon: fox news alert and one of the world's most eligible bachelors is officially off the market. prince albert of monaco married south africa charlene w whittstock. there will be an elaborate ceremony this weekend. she is an olympic swimmer from south africa. she essentially replaces grace kelly who married prince ranier in 1956. prince albert marrying. julie: the president wants new taxes on the wealthiest. republicans say they will not sign on for any new taxes. to tax or not to tax, that is the question, right. >>

jon: startling report on al qaeda, new evidence that the war on terror could be pushing usama bin laden'se brink of collapse. plus how norway plans to fight back against terror as that country remains on high alert after the tragedy. rick folbaum is over at our web wall for us. rick? >> that's right. these are three top stories you like them all. you decide what we report a little later on in the show. here are the choices if you go to "happening now" homepage at foxnews.com and scroll down. choose here between the butter sculpture. we'll tell you more about that. or perhaps you'd like to learn how to catch a glimpse of a humpback whale. or and that, we're showing these out of order here, but this is the humpback whale. this is, we showed you. this is very interesting animal. a little bit like a zebra, a little bit like a giraffe. we'll tell you more about that if you choose. there is still time to decide. so far the butter has it. i will tell you that. but you can weigh in. we'll have the results and the story coming up. we'll be back with "happening now" after a quick break. don't go aw

hear it at home among american politicians, you hear representative michelle bachmann after the usama bind get out now. and then walking that back a little bit. why does there seem to be this confusion about our progress there? >> well, i think there's confusion because in part, we know that the job isn't done yet. the job is not finished. they've trained a military and security force out there that is incredibly good by the comparisons of that part of the world. they still face adversaries in their country. they face external adversaries to the east with pakistan, to the west with iran and you can't simply just pull the rug out from under them like we did with vietnam in 1975. and i think what americans are looking at is we do not want to squander the blood and treasure that's been put into this. i did an interview with one young marine who has been decorated for his heroism, asked him the question as to what he -- i think you've got that up there. >> we do. take a listen. >> the president has said it's time to start phasing marines out of here. do you have an opinion about that? >> no,
