Their path to jihad. The head of the fbi just saying today, these two were radicalized before they met, before they even started dating online, and at a hearing this morning fbi director james comey also told senators he believes that the wife was radicalized before she came to the United States. He says investigators are looking at the couples marriage license right now. Is there any evidence that this marriage was arranged by a terrorist organization or terrorist operative . Or was it just a meeting on the internet . I dont know the answer to that yet. Do you agree with me that if it was arranged by a terrorist operative or organization that is a gamechanger . It would be a very, very important thing to know. Thats why were working so hard to understand it. Thats the biggest focus i think of how it would change the game, that they could actually arrange a marriage of two likeminded individuals, use the fianc fiancee visa system to get into the country. This as officials tell cnn the male shooter was planning an attack on a different location with someone else, a different partn partner, back in 2012. Cnns ana cabrera joins me in San Bernardino, california. But first evan perez, what stands out to me so much is that no one in Law Enforcement on a local or federal level saw one red flag on this couple. Now, you know, in a weeks time investigators are learned all this information about the path to radicalization, especially since the attack, but with no hard drive to work off, per se, and smashed cell phones. So how do they do that . Reporter there a lot of information the nsa and other organizations are able to collect. The problem is its very difficult to flag this stuff in realtime. You have to go back after Something Like this, after something goes boom, you go back and see what was in the collection that intelligence agencies have. And we know the nsa collects a lot of personal communications overseas. Thats one way that these people would have been able to be flagged at least. But again, you have to know what youre looking for. And its clear now, poppy, from what the fbi director said that going back to at least 2013 when he is online chatting with his future wife that hes talking about jihad according to the fbi director. These are things that obviously would be a big marker, big flag that the fbi would love to follow up on. Again, its free speech. You can talk about jihad. Its when you decide to take action on that. But its certainly something that gives the fbi impetus to take a deeper look. Now you know as you pointed out that in 2012 he was already thinking and plotting a possible attack. Lets talk about that, right . This just came out from your reporting and pamela browns reporting. In 2012 they think he was plotting an attack somewhere with someone else. What do we know about why that was never executed . Reporter just about that time the fbi arrested four people. There were actually five in all but four were arrested who were thinking about trying to travel overseas to fight with terrorist groups. Keep in mind, again, were talking about 2012. Back then it was preisis, right . They were trying to travel overseas to join al qaeda. They were arrested. They were planning to travel across the border to mexico and they were stopped before that happened. Again, this happened right there in the inland empire outside of los angeles, and that apparently is what, from talking to sources, apparently spooked farook and his coplotter. We dont know how far this plot really got, if this was something that they were ruminating on. We also dont know what the possible target was, but it helps give fbi the sense that this radicalization happened much earlier than first thought, poppy. Now it appears even before they met. Evan, thank you. To ana, the investigators are looking at everything, right . But theyre really honing in on the bank account, the male shooters bank account. He got this big loan, more than 28,000, in november, right before the attack. Theyre saying they dont think it appears he used that money in this attack, though, right . Reporter thats correct. Were told from Law Enforcement sources that they have accounted for all of that money. They believe half of it actually was doled out to farooks mother in the weeks before the shooting. Youll recall that the mother lived with farook and his wife in that same town home in the days, weeks, months leading up to the shooting. Theres still Big Questions about what she may have known if anything about this plot. Theyve also said that some of that money went to household items. They dont believe that the money went to finance the terror attack. Its believed that the weapons, the arsenal, ammunition that they had purchased all came before that loan was taken out. Also important to note that, at this point, according to Law Enforcement officials who told cnn it does not appear there are any indications that there is somebody outside, a Terror Network or individual, who intentionally may have given money to farook and malik in order to finance the terror plot. But, as you mentioned, the finances are still something theyre digging into so they havent drawn any conclusions just yet. But they are looking very closely at a former neighbor, right, a former neighbor of the male shooter a man named Enrique Marquez. Why are they still so interested in him . Reporter well, he, again, is the person who theyve now tracked a couple of the weapons to. He purchased two ar15s that were used in the attack. What weve learned about Enrique Marquez is he used to be the nextdoor neighbor to the farook family. In fact, we were out in that neighborhood yesterday talking with neighbors who say that they did see farook and marquez working together on cars in farooks family garage. Now, marquez apparently has been talking to investigators even though he initially checked himself into a Mental Health facility following the attack. What were told is he purchased those two ar15s back in 2011 and 2012. He tells investigators that he apparently gave those weapons or sold those weapons to farook shortly after he purchased them, but he never reported the ownership transfer, which would be against the law here in california. But at this point he is not facing any charges, and Law EnforcementOfficials Say hes been cooperative. They do not believe at this time that he was involved directly in the terror plot here at the facility behind me, poppy. Ana cabrera, thank you so much for the reporting on the ground there, evan perez as well working his Law Enforcement sources. Also to this top story today, the reality is we are at war, a quote, those words from the top man at the pentagon. As he took the hot seat on capitol hill for the First Time Since the San Bernardino rampage. Defense secretary ash carter defending president obamas isis strategy in front of senators, also offerig a new option to help fight that war. For the first time carter says the United States is ready to deploy advisers on the ground and apache gunships to help iraqis retake the key city of ramadi. The reality is were at war. Thats how our troops feel about it because theyre taking the fight to isil every day. Applying the might of the finest fighting force the world has ever known. We want this xe digsary targeting force to make isil and its leaders wonder when they go to bed at night whos going to be coming in the wind dough. Major revelation the defense secretary said this morning, isis is not contained. That directly contradicts what president obama said in an interview last month. From the start, our goal has been first to contain, and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in iraq. And in syria, theyll come in, theyll leave. General dunford, we have not contained isil. Mr. Secretary, do you agree with general dunford . I agree with what general dunford said, yes. Joining me now to discuss cnn military analyst, where is the divide when you have the top man at the pentagon saying one thing, the president saying another. Is it an intelligence divide, or is it an improvement in intelligence in the last three weeks . I think it is a semantics divide, truthfully, poppy. When the president was speaking, i think it was an abc, he was talking about containing isis in syria and iraq. I think his words were parsed in congress and especially on the committee that was investigating. They talk about isis as a generalized body throughout the world as new organizations or old terror organizations are taking on the mantle of isis. I dont want to get into that argument. The fact of the matter is there has been progress in iraq and syria. We see across the bored in Northern Iraq isis supply lines being cut. They can no longer move with the mobility that they had before. They are taking a pounding in raqqah and in and around raqqah. They are changing the amount of money they are paying their fighters. There have been almost 10,000 Iraqi Security forces regenerated that are taking the fight to isis in ramadi. Theyre having some difficulties there. I dont want to paint a rosy picture, but i think youre seeing improvements in the fight in iraq and syria. Certainly were not there yet. We said this is going to take a very long time. But at the same time thats happened, the average american will say, how can you say isis is contained, mr. President , when we see all these other acts going on all over the world . Well, its because isis has adapted their terror tactics. There are some that have been radicalized, as weve seen. They are doing things in other areas so it just is counterintuitive to say the organization is contained when you see so many actions of different accounts around the world. What about what senator john mccain said at that hearing and other lawmakers, really demanding to know when the United States expects that it will be able to retake with the coalition other key cities like raqqah and mosul . Carter and the others couldnt give an answer. When you look at raqqah, how concerned are you about no time line for when that could be accomplished . Ive been under the heat of senator mccains questionings on several occasions both in the field and in congress. I can tell you that a whole new situation occurs when the red light goes on on the floor of the congress. What hes asking for is something that is impossible to give. What is the time line for retaking mosul . We dont know. I mean, the time line for taking ramadi took longer than the u. S. Elements thought because it is the iraqi time line that is retaking. I remember once being told by an iraqi general, you americans have the watch, but we have the time. Meaning they will do it on their own time. The same thing will occur in terms of when they get the force ready to go to mosul. And i think were seeing a gradual impediment of isis in and around raqqah that will continue to improve as targeting improves, which weve keen recently. We are dropping more bombs. The old adage of, hey, were only dropping 25 of our munition, thats false. Its no longer true so we should stop saying that. Isis is being hit hard in the bombing campaign, and we are seeing increasing intelligence and increasing fighters, kurdish, syrian free forces and Iraqi Security forces, going after them. General mark hertling, thank you as always. Appreciate the insight.

Youre looking at live pictures of protesters gathering outside of city hall in chicago as mayor rahm emanuel gets ready to hold a News Conference with the city on edge after a number of videos of policeinvolved shootings have been released in the last few weeks. The mayor apologizing for the police in the 17yearold shooting of Lequan Mcdonaldment well speak to a Task Force Members straight ahead. Also breaking news out of baltimore. The Police OfficerWilliam Porter taking the stand there in his own defense. He is the first of six baltimore Police Officers to go on trial in the april death of freddie gray. Porter faces multiple charges including Involuntary Manslaughter and reckless dane iengerment. He faces 20 years in prison. He testified about why he did not strap freddie gray with a seat belt in the van saying he had never been shown how, also why he didnt call a medic. Lets talk about this with miguel. Lets get to the major question about calling for help and whether he heard freddie gray say that he couldnt breathe. Reporter look, the crossexamination of William Porter has just begun. That is going to be a very tough crossexamination after about a twohour direct questioning by his own lawyers. On the question of whether or not he heard mr. Gray say he couldnt breathe, officer porter explained that to his defense lawyer by saying and to the jury that he only heard that as mr. Gray was yelling at the very first incident, at the very first stop. Some big points he made regarding the seat belting you were talking about, he said, we were trained to use seat belts in the academy. But in all of my time on the streets, in everything i learned while i was on the job, we never seat belted detainees, he said, while they were in the van. Hed do it in his cruiser but not while they were in the van. The other huge question that porter got today was, what happened at that fourth stop . Six stops altogether in this situation. What happened at the fourth stop . Porter insisted that gray was responsive, that he was okay, that it was gray himself who helped himself up onto the bench as porter was trying to support him. The lawyers at one point laying on the ground, the jury standing up watching all of this happen, fairly dramatic moments as the lawyers tried to demonstrate how that happened in the van and how mr. Gray helped in his ownself undermining the prosecution saying the defense expert saying if mr. Gray had broken that part of his neck, he wouldnt have been able to move. He couldnt have moved a finger. He couldnt have moved a toe, their expert said. So the jury taking all of this in now that porter is on the stand. They are taking notes, some copiously, clearly taking all of this in. Poppy . Miguel marquez, thank you for that update. Much more with my legal panel ahead. Coming up next, breaking news.
