Meet the remarkable 8yearold overcoming incredible odds. The first of its kind surgery giving him new hands and a new life. Wait until you hear the one thing he says he is fighting for right now. My fight song and good morning, america. Lets get right to that breaking news in the war on terror. Mullah omar, chief ally of Osama Bin Laden, forced underground when u. S. Forces invaded afghanistan. A 10 million bounty on his head now confirmed dead. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with the details coming in right now and, brian, this man right at the top of the worlds most wanted list. Reporter thats right, george. Good morning. The reports of the death of the oneeyed taliban leader came in the last few minutes to abc news from officials on the afghanistan government. A report u. S. Officials have been hoping to hear for more than a decade. The government spokesman told us mullah omar was killed in a u. S. Air strike more than two years ago with his death kept secret until this morning by the taliban. Omar, who lost his eye while fighting again the russians in afghanistan was the man who gave Osama Bin Laden and al qaeda a safe haven that allowed the terror group to establish its Training Camps and plot its attacks against the united states. He had been a top target of the u. S. Since American Forces invaded afghanistan in the wake of the 9 11 attacks. But he was able to avoid capture despite that 10 million u. S. Reward on his head. George . Thanks so much. So much of the al qaeda leadership has been killed. We turn to the terror group who poses the biggest threat now, isis. A 23yearold florida man with ties to the Group Arrested by the fbi for plotting to plant a bomb on a florida beach. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has those details. Good morning, pierre. Reporter good morning, george. According to the fbi it was a vicious plan aimed at turning fun in the sun to carnage in the name of isis. Harlem suarez only 23, a recent convert to islam, is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. In this case a backpack bomb full of nails he allegedly planned to bury in the sand and detonate by cell phone but it was all a sting against a man the fbi said was corrupted by an isis social media campaign. Suarez was arrested monday after he allegedly took a fake backpack bomb from the fbi. Were trying to understand where somebody is on the specter between a consumer of this poison on twitter to an actor who is about to try to murder innocent people. Reporter the fbi became aware of suarez when one of his facebook friends told police he was posting statements promoting isis. Fbi agents then sent a confidential informant his way. And suarez allegedly told the informant he wanted to make a Remote Control bomb. Its exactly the type of isis social media inspired attacks that the attorney general warned about in her recent interview with abc news. Isis focuses on getting individuals to commit acts of violence in their name, which they will then take credit for. This is a different model from other terrorist groups. Reporter suarezs original plan, the fbi says, was to carry out a bombing on the fourth of july at south beach in miami or at marathon key. His alleged Facebook Posts chilling saying he wanted to see the black isis flag flying over the white house and that he wanted to behead americans and to burn others alive. The fbi says there are hundreds of terror investigations. Many involving people just like this suspect. Weve been tracking these cases and the arrests of these suspected isis followers this year is already more than double what it was in all of last year, george. Got to be so vigilant. Thanks very much. Turning to those bombshell developments in the deflategate scandal. The nfl upholding tom bradys fourgame suspension revealing the patriots qb destroyed his phone even though investigators requested it as evidence. Abcs ryan smith is at Gillette Stadium with the story. Good morning to you, ryan. Reporter good morning. This morning, tom brady going on the offensive, issuing a debut on his Facebook Page and reiterated he wont become a precedent for players without a fight. This morning, an nfl bombshell. The league upholding a fourgame suspension of new England Patriots superstar tom brady for his role in deflategate. In a 20page ruling goodell slamming the quarterback claiming there was an affirmative effort by mr. Brady to conceal potentially relevant evidence and undermine the investigation. And adding brady had his personal assistant destroy his cell phone on or about the day of a meeting with investigators. Saying the phone contained nearly 10,000 Text Messages, brady exchanged with many people over a fourmonth period while the investigation was ongoing. Brady fighting back in a Statement Released this morning. To suggest that i destroyed a phone to avoid giving the nfl information it requested, is completely wrong. In the Facebook Post he denies being aware of deflategate. I was not aware that would result in any discipline but the nfl said bradys cooperation involving the cell phone crucial to the investigation and the nfl cant subpoena the messages. Those messages on that phone now gone. Bradys Text Messages under scrutiny since the deflategate report which shared texts between two patriot employees suggesting brady knew the balls were deflated. Commissioner Roger Goodell saying the closest parallel to bradys attempt to gain a competitive advantage in a game by using underinflated footballs. This morning the superstars agent calling the appeals process a sham. Saying goodells decision was based on junk science and patriots nation is standing behind its hero. I think its ridiculous. And the players union, telling us they will fight this h decision in federal court. George. This case seems far from over. Thanks ryan. Thanks very much. Let get more from the reporter who broke the story about bradys phone. Espns stephen a. Smith. Goodell had been under some pressure to cut the suspension but once he had this evidence, the destroyed phone, that was it. I think that was it but obviously even coming into that he handed down a fourgame suspension because they deemed tom brady completely uncooperative. It was clear they felt he could have been more forthcoming. He was resistant to that and because of that theyre trying to send a message even the great tom brady is not above the rules. If you dont cooperate with us, were going to attach a level of guilt to you because thats just the way it goes. Now brady going to court which could end up being a mess for everyone. Well, no question about it. He could take it to federal court but the bottom line is this. If you go to federal court people will be deposed. Youll have to give sworn testimony. Under oath. Under oath and the nfl is under the impression thats something that will work to their advantage because it gives them a license to ask additional information, things you may have been reluctant to answer before youre going to have no choice but to answer honestly right now and basically saying to tom brady and the new England Patriots do you really want to go down this aisle . Were not sure you do. Whose legacy will take the bigger hit here, tom brady or Roger Goodell in the end. I think tom brady and whatever tom whatever is going on with Roger Goodell in the past, ray rice, greg hardy, the list goes on and on, hes the commissioner, not an elected official. His boss the 32 owners who handed him 44 million for one year in 2012. The commissioner Roger Goodell will be just fine no matter what. Its tom brady who is the fourtime super bowl champion who has players present and former literally saying as great as he is and no doubt a hall of famer we believe he tried to get an unfair advantage and in their eyes that is cheating and the fact you have your contemporaries past and present feeling that way, that is the ultimate indictment for a player, a professional athlete. Can this keep him out of the hall of fame. I dont think so. It could potentially keep him as a first ballot halloffamer. I dont think thats going to happen. Hes too phenomenal, too great, too accomplished but still when you have your colleague, contemporaries that look at you as if youve been stained and think it is legitimate thats the ultimate indictment against you. Stephen a. Smith, thanks very much. Thank you. George we want to turn to a frightening scene in pasadena, california. A massive tree crashing down right onto a group of children. Abcs Kayna Whitworth is at the scene for us with the very latest. Good morning to you, kayna. Reporter hey, lara, good morning. So look behind me here you can see the roots of the tree.

Most resulting from severe weather. But on this sunny california day, weather seemingly not the case leaving officials and family wondering what brought down the 75yearold tree. That question still remains today. I want to show you something. When you look behind me the grass is very green. Officials say the tree itself seemingly healthy.
