Russian intelligence are warning female suicide bombers may already have been dispatched to attack the winter olympic games. A deadly ability to strike. Law enforcement sources tell cbs news counterterrorism officials are searching for this woman, ruzana ibragimova, a black widow, whose husband, an Islamic Militant, was killed by russian law enforcement. Authorities have been canvassing the area, trying to locate her. Intelligence officials worry she may not be the only one. Several widows are known to have ties to the terror group which, on sunday, repeated its threat to attack the games. As part of the National Security team for george w.

Charlie and clarissa, the venue is so spread out. Its a big area to secure. What other targets might they be looking at . Not just the games themselves but transit zones, restaurants. These athletes and visitors will travel great distances. If the militants can hit any of those targets where westerners congress re ga congregate, that would abe big win for them. These soft targets are almost impossible to determine. Thank you very much. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be sworn in for his second term. The possible president ial candidate has canceled tonights Inauguration Party because of the weather. Christie is also under a cloud of scrutiny. A new usa today poll shows 58 of americans do not believe the governor is telling the whole story in the George Washington bridge scandal. Elaine quijano is in new york city with what well hear from christie later today. Reporter good morning, charlie and clarissa and our viewers in the west. Christie was joined by his Lieutenant Governor, latest member of his inner circle to be embroiled in a political controversy. In his inaugural address later today, governor christie will call for unity, saying we have to be willing to play outside the red and blue boxes the media pundits put us in. It comes after hoboken mayor dawn zimmer complained about feeling pressure to support a real estate project in return for receiving sandy aid dollars. This letter definitely makes it very clear that i was the one, you know, on april 21st, sent them a letter and very clearly said, you cant connect the two and its not fair. Reporter but Lieutenant Governor kim guadagno made the administrations position very clear. After she said to me you have to move ahead with the ro rockefeller project, i said does any other town being asked to do development in exchange for help for the flooding . Reporter earlier on monday, during a sandy volunteer event where she declined to take questions, guadagno flatly denied zimmers accusation. Any suggestion, any suggestion that sandy funds were tied to the approval of any project in new jersey is completely false. Reporter christie aides said the funds requested were for future flood projects and not sandy rebuilding efforts and that the city wanted a third of the money available for the entire state. The accusations come at a key time for christie, as he starts his second term as governor and molds a run for the white house. He was going to have essentially one year between winning reelection and the time he needed to start running for president and he needed to use that year to run up the legislative scoreboard in new jersey. I think we can safely say that those plans are all on hold. Reporter governor christie and Lieutenant Governor guadagno will be formally sworn in in a ceremony later today. Charlie . Elaine, thanks. Political crisis. Overnight antigovernment demonstrators waged a new battle with police. Calls for compromise are going unanswered. Mark phillips is in london, amid the growing violence. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. Its been going on a couple of months. While the crowd sizes havent reached the Critical Mass that could lead to upheaval, it could be pushing the ukraine standoff to some sort of tipping point. It may have looked like a time of fourth of july. Demonstrators have used whatever weaponry they can get their hands on. Sometimes the battle had the look and some of the weapons of a medieval siege. At one point, a catapult was moved toward the front line and fired it. Theyve been heaving rocks and firebottom firebombs at police and theyve been fighting back with stun grenades and tear gas. Its not a mass protest with tens of thousands. Its down to a hard core of several hundred protesters, very determined protesters. And theyve been carrying the battle. Police have been firing back with rubber bullets at close range, it seems. What began as a contest between those who want ukraine to establish closer ties with europe and the government with links to moscow and word about russian gas supplies has turned into a tribal battle over basic human rights. The passing of a new Government Law to restrict the protest resulted in some of the street violence spilling over into parliament. The European Union has called on ukraine to suspend its legislation. And everyone is worried this could spin even further out of control. Mark phillips, thank you. This morning, syrian peace conference will go on as planned. Diplomatic slap over an invitation to iran is now settled. But a new report claims the Syrian Government tortured or killed more than 10,000 detainees since the civil war began nearly three years ago. Holly williams recently went down to the Syrian Border and joins us now from istanbul, turkey. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning, clarissa and cha rly. The images in this new report are believed to show the bodies of tortured inmates in syrias government prisons, taken by a defected reporter. It could derail its peace talks and we should warn you, were about to show you some very disturbing pictures. Some of the people in the photographs appear to have been beaten, some starved, others strangled. Cbs news cannot independently verify them and the report was funded by the government which supports the Syrian Opposition. The investigation was carried out by three respective former war crimes prosecutors with the help of other experts. They concluded that theres evidence thousands of people have been systematically tortured and executed in syrian prisons during the countrys civil war. The picture presented by these images is one of utter and unbelievable horror. A picture of 11,000 People Killed in one place, this may well be the tip of the iceberg. Reporter the report favors prospect of a war Crime Investigation into the government of bashar al assad. The Syrian Opposition only agreed to take part in the talks at the last minute and then threatened to boycott the negotiations after the u. N. Secretary general invited iran, a key ally of the syrian regime. After the u. S. Also protested the invitation to iran was withdrawn, but thats angered russia, another ally of the Syrian Government. The Russian Foreign minister said today theyre excluding iran from the negotiations is a mistake. Even before the peace talks have begun, they are mired in argument. After nearly three years of civil war and a death toll of more than 130,000, theres little sense that either side expects these talks to achieve anything, let alone peace. Charlie and clarissa . Holly, thank you. You covered syria more as well as anybody. Tell me what you think about this latest story in the photographs they have. Were talking about war crimes. This recalls images of death camps. The idea that the International Community is not able to put an end to this blood shed and to this sickness is really the photographs are horrendous. Horrendous. We couldnt show our viewers many of them because they were so horrendous. This morning, syrians civil war may be tied to leb novenlt a car bombing killed at least four people. The blast shook a neighborhood where many people support hezbollah. New details about white house efforts to free kenneth bae from north korea.
