His name was included in the customs and border protection system which is supposed to detect unusual or suspicious travel. it was there because the now dead boston bomber was also included in the fbis enormous terrorism screening data base. 500,000 names of known or suspected terrorists. he was also on the national counterterrorism centers terrorist identitys data mart environment similar to the fbi list and updated several times a day with much more specific information. his departure was comm...

That ping, that notation in the system. so when he went to russia, the database pinged, but when he came back the database did not ping because during that trip to russia apparently that notation that was in the system expired. so all of this is very important because as weve been reporting over the past few days, anderson, lawmakers on capitol hill are very frustrated about all of this. why are there conflicting storying about whether or not tamerlan tsarnaev did appear in the system when he wa...

So a name like john doe could be in there 10,000 times. so tamerlan tsarnaevs name according to our sources was in that database. he also apparently was in a database called t.i.d.e. that is a classified database. and it is very important because these databases are used by the fbi, by law enforcement officials to put together the terror no-fly list. and apparently tamerlan tsarnaevs name was not on that list, but there was a notation in one of these databases that were tamerlan tsarnaev to leav...

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. its 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 ba...

Ideas. >> reporter: he said tamerlan tsarnaev told him hed quit boxing and listening to mainstream music because misha taught him that in islam its not good to do those things. asked if he suspected that misha was connected to any terrorist groups -- >> i didnt suspect either him or tamerlan being connected to terror groups or having terrorist ideas. but i know that they had a lot of conversations about just, you know, islam and how islam is being attacked from the outside from the western count...

Being attacked from the outside, you know, from the western countries and how islam is under pressure. >> asked when tamerlan became a more devout muslim the ex-brother-in-law and uncle both say they noticed it about four years ago. we searched for misha using the internet, search data base and social media cross referencing his name with descriptions of it. one name did come up. we scoured matching addresses in the boston area. phone numbers and e-mails. we couldnt find him so were not mentioni...

If it wasnt, then there may be somebody who dropped the ball. >> reporter: tsarnaevs name had also been misspelled in a u.s. database that looks for suspicious activity. a redundant system picked him up. >> more briefings today up on capitol hill. the house intelligence committee is going to be briefed by authorities. is that true? >> yeah. that was my understanding the last time i checked. all looking into many of these questions. and a lot of them still unresolved as it stands right now. >> jo...

>> let me get in there with bob now. we understand that the suspect was on -- in a data base not on a watch list, is that relevant? and how do you see this? is this a situation where you say, wow, we couldve gotten lucky and known about this man in advance or a situation where we shouldve known more because of a failed coordination? >> this thing was preventable. if the fbi was not informed in a timely manner that he had gone and stayed six months, there is no reason that the fbi should reopen t...

We do better going forward so we can be safe. very fundamental conversation. jim acosta was reporting earlier, has new information. just wrapped up an interview with senator graham. he says the fbi called him to correct some information they gave him after the secretary testified. okay. about the ping on their database. jim acosta reports, the fbi says obviously his trip was not undetected as they told the senator. he is now asking, the senator is, why homeland security didnt alert the fbi, call...

Homeland security to hold up citizenship for one of the brothers. if thats true why did the fbi need public help to find out who tamerlan was when they showed the photographs in the newspapers. shouldnt their data base if indeed their case was not closed, shouldnt that have interacted with the photograph, shouldnt there be some facial recognition with the same agency? >> let me start with the fact that the fbi did close the case in 2011. thats the a point where they asked the host service if the...
