Thats done in an effort to identify forensics and connect in bomber who we have known have worked in the past. the other thing that theyre doing is they are scrubbing all of their intelligence sources. they are looking at cellular sources occurring in the area to see if there was a telephone used here back and forth between the bomber and his accomplices. and then the most important thing they are doing today is running down the video. they know what this guy looked like. i have seen these -- th...

One guy put this together, a young guy in his 20s given his background or could that be a bomb-maker out there, or could that be a sellout there, jake? >> what are we learning about the sophistication of the bomb and possibly how much training that this terrorist had? >> well, this is the quintessential question at this stage because its not that easy to learn how to make a bomb and get the materials and practice and in most cases you want to practice alone, and without being detected, so all fi...

On cnns reporting, based on what we heard from pamela brown and evan perez, where do you see this -- the focus of this investigation? if they have learned the -- if they have identified the attacker, i dont know if that means they have identified the person by name or just found enough to begin to get close to identifying this person by name. where does it go from here? >> well, anderson, as we have been discussing, they will be reviewing all the cctv, trying to figure out this individuals route...

About their work and even after the explosion you are able to find out who the bomb maker may have been or who they may have been associated with. >> there will be a lot of clues as to who influenced the attack or directed it. this was more sophisticated than some of the other attacks we have seen recently, involving knives and cars. those were sort of low sophistication, you dont need a lot of training and you dont really need any weapons training, you are just taking items and automobiles and ...

On the ground trying to figure out who this guy is looking at forensics and then some deelg looking at parents? >> no question. a hole team put together in the city of boston to deal with the victims and the victims families. that started very early in the process. and the outreach to them is critical. for two reasons. one is its the right thing to do. put the families together as quickly as possible. the other reason is the individuals close to this incident have information that we need. so ge...

Welcome. >> the early forensics work, explain to us how important it is and how much you can learn from it. >> within minutes of the blast, we had to reconstruct the device. it was important, what was used in the methodology and construction of the bomb. we were picking up the detonator within a few minutes of arrival at the scene. we had rebuilt the device just from picking up small pieces of evidence and understanding the explosive that we used. in our case, it was gunpowder. a very powerful e...

Involved and in very close contact with our friends in great britain. >> we have a large office in london with special agents that are stationed there full-time. our london office has been working with them along with our joint terrorism task force. >> shepard: tonight, after they removed and were able to get the forensics together, what is job number one and what is the beginning of a terror investigation? >> there are several job number ones and these all happen simultaneously, you dont take a...

The type of bomb yet, but a suicide bomber was probably trained in some capacity either online through contact with a terrorist group or direct training. we dont know that yet though we have some sense of who this individual was, we dont know his context to isis or other groups. isis has issued a claim, so they are claiming the attack. but again, it wasnt a highly coordinated attack with a larger cell or doesnt so many like there were multiple parts to this. but it is more sophisticated than som...

Forensics as you can from the -- from that point of the attack on out. and once you have the identity, and it could be that the british have the identity either through a fingerprint, dna samples or some other identifier, that you then -- youre then able to expand those concentric circles and then able to identify social tworks, faly networks, work history, travel history, communication patterns all the digital dust that surrounds an individual then becomes part of the investigation. and so i wo...
