Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. A team of elite u. S. Investigators has s aboard a navy warship in the mediterranean tonight interrogating one of the most wanted terror suspects in the world. Anas allibi, a 49yearold libyan, is charged in the 1998 bombings of the u. S. Embassies in tanzania and kenya that killed 224 people, including 12 americans. U. S. Commandos captured him over the weekend in libya. The government wants face justice, but the slope that he will also information about al qaeda. Justice correspondent bob orr has the latest. Abu anas alibi is being held aboard this navy ship in the mediterranean sea. Sources say allibi, who was part of osama bin ladens inner circumstance until the mid90s is being trained by a specially trained team of c. I. A. And f. B. I. Counterterrorism experts. The socalled High Value Detainee Interrogation Group pressing him for intelligence about the Al Qaeda Network and potential attack plans. Allibi, who spent years as a foreign operative for al qaeda, was captured just after dawn saturday on this street back in his homeland of libya. U. S. Army Delta Force Commandos suddenly converged in three or four vehicles near allibis home in tripoli. His family told reporters the commandos Wearing Masks surrounded allibis car, smashed the windows and whisked him away. Allibi is under indictment in new york, accused of helping to plan the 1998 bombings of u. S. Embassies in africa. Federal prosecutors say allibi did surveillance for al qaeda prior to the attacks, taking pictures of potential targets. Sources say he is also a computer expert and the likely author of this al qaeda training manual which lays out step by step instructions for launching any major terror attack. The guide was discovered in al libis computer files in 2000 when Scotland Yard raided a british safe house where hed stayed. Now, sources say eventually al libi will be brought to new york, read his rights and face charges in federal court there. But investigators are in no particular hurry to make that transfer because, if allibi proves to be a cooperative prisoner at sea, scott, he can be there for white a while. Pelley bob, thank you. The target of another u. S. Raid over the weekend was a kenyan terror suspect wanted in plot to attack the Parliament Building there and u. N. Headquarters in nairobi. But the mission to capture him in somalia had to be aborted. More about that now from National Security correspondent david martin. Reporter his face has never been seen by the public but he goes by the name ikrima and he is a senior planner for the Somali Terrorist Group known as alshabaab. He will now also be known as the one who got away from seal team 6 who failed to capture anymore a predawn raid. The seals came out of the india ocean in small boats but were spotted as they moved toward the seaside come bound where they believe ikrima lived. A fire fight broke out. With the element of surprise gone, the seals had lost their chance to take him alive. The seal commander could have called in an air strike in an attempt to kill ikrima, but they were too many civilians, including children, in the compound. Instead, he ordered his known withdraw back to their boats and to a navy ship offshore. There were no casualties among the seals. One or two ikrimas men are believed to have been killed or wounded. The aborted raid came just two weeks after alshabaab launched the attack on the west gate Shopping Mall in nairobi, kenya. An official said the operation to snatch ikrima had been in the works long before that. Officials briefed on the operation said the seal commander made the right call in deciding to withdraw. The seals had not expected to find so many women and children, in effect human shields, inside the compound. Pelley david martin at the pentagon for us tonight. David, thank you. Remnants of Tropical Storm karen met up today with a huge storm system moving from westtoeast, bringing Severe Weather from the carolinas all the way up to vermont. A school bus overturned this morning on a muddy road in north carolina. Nine students were taken to the hospital but the injuries arent serious. When the Weather Service in anchorage, alaska, put out its forecast last friday, it seemed like any other until you look closely. The first letter of each line spells out please pay us. Turns out, the staff is working without pay during the federal Government Shutdown. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers havent been paid since the partial shutdown one week ago. Theres no movement in the forecast for that, and now there is a second storm coming. Next week the u. S. Wont be able to pay the interest on its debts unless Congress Allows uncle sam to borrow more. The most conservative republicans in the house say they will not pass these bills unless they can make cuts to obamacare and other federal programs. Folks are beginning to wonder why running the government has become impossible so were bringing in our experts, nancy cordes and major garrett. Major, the president made his federal Emergency Management agency. Reporter thats right nearly all federal Emergency Management workers are furloughed, about 200 worked without pay this weekend to monitor Tropical Storm karen. President obama said today House Speaker john boehner can fix this. Just vote. Let every member of Congress Vote their conscience and make them determine whether or not they want to shut the government my suspicion is there are enough vote there is and the reason hadnt called a vote on it is because he doesnt apparently want to see the Government Shutdown end at the moment. Reporter House Republicans have passed a bill to pay federal Emergency Management workers. The white house rejects opening up parts of the government, demanding House Republicans pay for all federal services. Pelley major, stay with us as we go to nancy cordes. Nancy, Speaker Boehner said over the weekend there arent enough votes to pass a bill to Fund Government without cuts. Reporter that claim is an iffy one if you look at the numbers, scott. All 200 democrats have now said they would vote to fund the government no Strings Attached and weve confirmed so far 15 republicans who said they would do the same. So right there youre very close to the 217 votes needed to pass this bill. But Speaker Boehner would face a huge backlash if he tried to do Something Like that, primarily with votes from the other parties. So thats just one of several reasons why hes holding firm for now, scott. Pelley nancy, why did the speaker demand these concessions when the outcomes uncertain . Reporter well, primarily because it has worked so well in the past. Back in 2011 we were working at a similar deadline over raising the debt ceiling. Republicans held out and wrangled 1. 2 trillion worth of spending cuts from democrats. So they see this as one of the best ways and really one of the only ways for them to advance their agenda when they dont control the senate or the white house. Pelley which makes you wonder, major, if this is why the president said he wont even consider negotiating. Thats exactly right, scott. The president considers his decision in 2011 to negotiate with republicans one of the worst of his presidency because it forced him to give up budget concessions simply to avoid a government default and the president s numberone goal now is to end this giveandtake forever to prevent his presidency and future presidencies from having to haggle endlessly over budget items simply to avoid a government default. Pelley major garrett, nancy cordes, thanks very much. Wall street is tired of all of this. It lost ground for ten of the last 13 sessions. The dow fell 136 points today to close at 14,936. Most of the military civilian workers who were furloughed last week were recalled over the weekend. Thats about 350,000 people. But among those federal workers still off the job are thousands who work for head start Early Education programs. We sent Michelle Miller to bridgeport, connecticut. Let me see you go around the side reporter its been a week since Danielle Smith told parents this Learning Center that its Head Start Program was closed. The government shut down before it sent grant money to connecticut. What did your families say . I had parents who told me im going to lose my job. If i dont child care, i cant go to work. They were asking for help but i couldnt help them. Reporter 300 students have been affected here. Its also cost Danielle Smith her job as a family counselor. How long can you last . I dont know. Im struggling. Reporter did you know this was coming . I followed it but i really thought the politicians on both sides would come together and realize that this was going to affect millions of people. Call us back and see if theres anything we can do for you. Reporter a thousand children have been locked out at the 13 programs run by bill bevacqua. We issued 313 layoff notices. They dont have alternatives to turn to, you know . Its going to get cold pretty soon. Theyre going to have heating problems. The lights have to stay on. The landlord wants his rent. Reporter Danielle Smith wants to look for work but cant. Her son was a student here, too. Not only can i not go to work i dont have child care for my son, either. We still have your stuff for when you come back. Reporter how does this make you feel . Sad. Hes missing lessons. Its just sad. Reporter we received word just before the broadcast that the National Head Start Association has received 10 million from finance year and philanthropist john arnold to temporarily reopen some of those programs. But, scott, as many as 87,000 children could be affected across the country if the shutdown drags on to november. Pelley real consequences for real people. Michelle, thanks very much. The government may be running out of money to pay its bills but it can still change a hundred. Have a look. This is the old 100 bill and heres the change that is coming tomorrow. A cnote redesigned to make it harder to counterfeit. Move the bill and the security ribbon liberty bells change to 100s. That big 100 changes color and the liberty bell in the ink well seems to disappear. The new benjamin. Pay with it or play with it. The milliondollar question tonight is how did a nineyear old get on a plane without a ticket . And what were the police doing among the bikers in that new york road rage attack when the cbs evening news continues. My wife takes centrum silver. Ive been on the fence about it.

Pelley Delta Airlines told us today it is reviewing its procedures after a young boy all alone without a ticket somehow managed to board an airliner in minneapolis last thursday and fly to las vegas. Delta is not saying how it happened. We asked Dean Reynolds to look into this breach of airport security. Reporter airport Officials Say the nineyearold made two trips to the terminal. Last wednesday he took the train to the airport, lifted a strangers suitcase from the baggage carousel and took it with him to the hot dish restaurant. There he had lunch, dropped the bag, and skipped the check after telling the waitress he was just going to the restroom. After that, Officials Say he went home. But surveillance cameras picked him up again the next day being screened at president t. S. A. Airport checkpoint. Steps away on concourse g, deal flight 1651 was boarding for an 11 15 departure to las vegas. Airport officials tell us the surveillance tape shows the boy without a boarding pass darting past a distracted agent and on to the plane. Charles slepian, a Security Consultant for several Major Airlines says the situation is not unimaginable. You see a nineyearold child who doesnt look like hes lost, doesnt look like hes upset, you tend to assume that hes with somebody that would be required to put him on board an airplane. Reporter the flight was halfway to las vegas when the crew realized the boy was not on their list of unaccompanied minors they called the Las Vegas Police which met the flight and took him into protective custody. Now the t. S. A. Says the boy was properly screened at this checkpoint here behind me, but it is investigating whether some reconfigured barrier might help prevent future stowaway episodes.
