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...

You would have to say yes. he interviewed him and he went on to commit an act. but i dont think we have the full answer here yet. what was the process that they followed? the fbi interviews a ton of folks every year. only a fraction of which are actually dangerous. they interview me when i go to aroon and north korea and come back. but obviously either they -- he fell through the cracks or at the time that they were interviewing him they werent giving him anything actionable to continue his case...

>> we have to determine whether -- some of the things that they did, at least in some of the activities that were reported by friends and neighbors, they were very, very good at staying covert, and they picked an area they knew well. they were certainly home grown. they had lived in the area for ten years. >> if someone gets investigated by the fbi for radicalization or suspension of that, does their name enter some data base, stay on a bdatabase that would stir p some kind of an alert? if they ...

That what motivated his brother? because most people who know both brothers believe that he was following in his brothers footsteps. it was his brother who went outside the country for since months last year. and there are going to be questions about the fbi. because they spoke to him both before and significantly, weve learned, after he returned. and why didnt they pick up whatever terrorist motivation was going on? why didnt -- why werent they tracking him? why wasnt he in the data base? becau...

These -- this particular suspect has come from? >> that technology does exist. the bureau does have access to it, but the catch here is they would have to have somebody in the database that matches up to that image. >> could they say this person is of middle east origin or -- >> i think it would be very early to even try to draw that conclusion. >> i dont think you can draw that from these pictures, even the latest one. its hard to say if its an american, someone from the middle east. its not ob...

Its going to be difficult. just running this picture into the data base, again, might turn up some kind of result or no result at all because of the ang youllation of the face. we have a suspect we think this is the guy. that face turn up in the data base? just using that one? the answer is probably not. but we can do something with this face to make that face appear in data base so let me take you to a tool that we call forensica. it is this tool taking images and creates a 3 d. >> remind our v...

>> can you run it through a data base to try to identify who this person is? >> absolutely. im not going do that now because im not hooked up into the data base but now wed take this photograph here and submit the original and wed get back that result in a very large data base. >> and straight head the fbi trying to determine if at tack was foreign terror or domestic terror, tonight news the information is seeking information from pakistan chbl the latest part that have part of the investigation...

To the white board here, each potential match is given a score. so, out of all the data base. they give you a score when they come up with several matches, the higher the score, the closer the match, and thats how they begin to process of elimination. almost always using 3-d software now megyn sometimes theyre using skin texture as well to come up with a match on this the technology has come leaps a bounds in recent years. if they decide to release these surveillance pictures to the public, then...

The facial features. for example, the eye socket depth, cheekbone shape, the distance between the eyes, the nose width and the jaw line length. they take all these numbers and come up with numerical code or facial print. not the size of a fingerprint but still very very close. e tter of picture, clearly the better chance they hav matching it now, what happens is in mo cases, in fact we use an intern, lets show this video if you are just trying to identify the person is who they say they are that...

Hope they have photographs like this. but they have to then photograph and actually put it in the data base. the other situation we have -- >> go ahead. >> the other situation is the cell phone. now, the cell phone is if they are sophisticated enough to have four becomes and do what they did and work in concert with two people. i would find it pretty shocking that they had a cell phone that comes back to their name. and they didnt just buy a prepaid cell phone and use that as a detonating tool o...
