Preparing to attack Police Officers here in massachusetts, calling them an easy target. They say he discarded the idea of beheading a woman in new york investigators say that when Boston Police and the fbi shot 26yearold usaama rahim tuesday they feared he was about to board a bus carrying a knife preparing to attack Police Officers. Officials say the fbi, concerned about his jihadist social media postings, already had him under surveillance. Newly filed Court Documents reveal the fbi was watching when he went on amazon twice last week and bought three militarystyle fives with long blades. Four days ago, Court Documents say, rahim told two other people he planned to behead a victim in another state. Law enforcement Officials Say it was pamela geller, the activist and commentator who organized last months draw mohammed contest in garland, texas. In a written statement she says they targeted me for violating sharia blasphemy laws. But on dawn tuesday police say they overheard rahim say that he changed his mind and decided to attack massachusetts Police Officers later this very day or the next. The fbi says he told a friend im just going go after them those boys in blue because its the easiest target. The man investigators say rahim was talking to on the phone, 25yearold david wright appeared wednesday in federal court charged with encourage rag hemoto get rid of evidence by destroying the smart phone. Congressional leaders briefed on the plot say isis social media played a role. This is a growing trend, its a growing problem in terms of our counterterrorism atmosphere and its really terrorism gone viral. Reporter also wednesday, Boston Police and the fbi took the unusual step of showing Community Leaders a Surveillance Video of the rahim shooting saying it proves officers were backing away as he advanced on them with a knife. A third man in rhode island who investigators say was in on some of the conversations with rahim has been questioned by the fbi but no charges have been filed and as for the idea of attacking that woman in new york one official calls that strictly talk, a fantasy. Jose . Pete williams thank you very much. I want to bring in assistant metro editor of the boston globe, mike bello. Mike, good morning. Good morning, sir. Have you learned anything new or more about the connection between usaama rahim and isis or isis propaganda . We have a front page story in the globe today about his Facebook Postings and in those postings he talks about a city in flames theres some spelling of the word rage in these ruins. There are some kind of links to isisfavored web sites, talks about certain jihadist things. Theres no mention of syria and whats going on in iraq. But we know the web site did Facebook Page did belong to him and there was a lot of intense fundamentalist belief postings and talk of violence stuff. So definitely there was an interest there. What do we know about him his past . Anything . He lived in roslindale. He attended brookline high school. Apparently thanked his Guidance Counselors after he graduated. Ended up coming back here in the last couple years after living in florida and worked at a best buy. His last job was at a cvs pharmacy. Took the bus to work everyday. We talked to people who would talk to him on the bus, said he was a nice guy. In fact one woman had showed him a one of these jihad executions or tape of one of them that was online and he turned his face from it. Didnt want to look at it. So people could not believe one woman described him as sweet. So it was very shocking and stunning to these folks when this happened. I want to ask you a decision about police showing the video to community and can Community Leaders. Were you surprised at how quickly that occurred . No Boston Police commissioner evans and other leaders want to be transparent about what happened. They wanted these muslim clerics and africanamerican Community Leaders to see what happened on that street in that shooting. The police say they were justified. They say rahim was coming at them this w this militarystyle knife, violated a safety perimeter between 15 and 20 feet, felt they had to act immediately to protect themselves and thats why three shots were fired. They wanted them to see what happened. A number of leaders said definitely he was shot in the front. There was some talk that he was shot in the back. Everyone acknowledges he was shot in the front, in the torso area. Some of the Muslim Leaders said it was still inconclusive in terms of did he have a knife, did the police v weapons, they couldnt see these things because it was fuzzy, it is grainy. I assume the police will expand the photos and film to make it more visible as they conduct their investigation. The Suffolk CountyDistrict Attorney is conducting the investigation. But it cleared up rumors he had been shot in the back. Absolutely. Everyone acknowledged he was shot in the torso, shot in the chest in the front two to three times. Mike bello, always a pleasure, thank you for being with me. Next hour well have much more on what the video of the shooting does and doesnt show when we talk to Ibrahim Hooper with the council of American Islamic relations. Now to the pentagon where were following developments in the anthrax goofup. Two words you dont want to hear in the same sentence. Anthrax and goofup not good. Were learning the number of live anthrax samples possibly sent out by military labs more than double the number they originally thought. Lets get the latest from the pentagon and nbcs jim mig la miklaszewski miklaszewski. Jim, good morning. Good morning, not only has the pentagon said theres more shipments of live anthrax than previously reported but defense officials are warning it can only get worse. By the pentagons own count, the number of potentially deadly shipments of live anthrax has more than doubled. 51 Research Labs in 17 states District Of Columbia and three Foreign Countries received the shamts s shipments over the past ten years and still counting. We expect the number may rise because the scope of the investigation is going on. Reporter anthrax shipments from military labs like dugway proving ground in utah are irradiated. Thats supposed to kill any live anthrax spores before theyre shipped to other labs for research. We issue a death certificate that says this organism is now dead. Reporter but in at least two shipments, the labs in maryland and canada the system failed and the anthrax was very much alive. This vial reporter despite the potential threat, the pentagon sent out to assure the wary public, how anthrax is shipped in small vials by fedex in small containers and packed in dry ice. As of this point we see no danger to the broader american public. Reporter experts in biochemical warfare agree. The chances of getting anthrax from the dilution of these samples in the form in which they were in is virtually nil. Reporter heres why officials at the pentagon are so confident the public is not at risk. This is the size of each shipment. Kind of hard to see on camera. Its one milliliter. For those not familiar with met metric metrics, thats onefifth of a teaspoon. And they say the shipment of anthrax either alive or dead is so small and diluted it doesnt pose a Serious Health risk. The good news is that over the past ten years while some of these shipments apparently were live nobody came down with any symptoms. The bad news here is jose that it took ten years to discover the mistake. Right. And jim im worried. Who gave you that sample and said there was nothing in there . Well, you know, thats confidential i cant tell you. And this in here by the way is not anthrax. Its fruit juice. Just to put a give it some color. I just want to make sure because ten years later we dont want there to be some kind of mistake. Jim, thank you very much at the pentagon. Good to see you. Now developing news on the west coast. Were keeping a close eye on a powerful hurricane churning off the pooh Pacific Coast of mexico. Blanca. The National Hurricane center says it expects blanca to gain strength in the next day or so. Meteorologist bail karins is tracking the storm. What are you looking for, bill . This is a rare event to have a storm this strong, this early the season. This is the second or third one weve had in areas of the west pacific. The storm looks impressive on satellite imagery. It peaked early last night, overnight it weakened slightly. The storm will start moving and heading towards the baja ben nins peninsula. It will goo up to category four tomorrow. Thats a serious storm. By the time it gets up near la paz and Cabo San Lucas, it should weaken significantly. Colder waters and upper level winds wont be as favorable and thats why we think it will be a Tropical Storm but its possible if you have plans down the Cabo San Lucas as you go throughout the weekend, you could deal with a Tropical Storm. Not a hurricane most likely but gusty winds and large waves. Computer models take it somewhere near baja california. The other is the cool chilly weather. Rainy weather hasnt been good beach weather in days in areas of the carolinas and virginia. So that area is struggling a bit but overall calm in the lower 48 today. It is. And those storms have been affecting us down in south florida. Youre in your rainy season now, right . Thats right. And Hurricane Season first of june. We have to remember that.

Developing right now in our nations capital, look at this foggy live picture, you can barely make out the Washington Monument there. See it . I want to show it to you because the landmark reopened for the First Time Since it was shut down on monday after a power failure. Everything has been fixed and its back to business as usual with a lot of fog. But its texas thats front and center today in the race for president. Hillary clinton is on day two of her Texas Campaign swing and shes not going to be the lone star there today. In just a couple of hours, the state will play host to another campaign announcement. This time its former Texas Governor rick perry joining the fray becoming candidate number ten in the republican race. Hes already out with his first Online Campaign video. You see, a lot of candidates will say the right things. Whether its about the border whether its about taxes, whether its about spending but we need a president who has done the right thing. We need a president who bridges the partisan divide rather than widen it. Who brings people together. We must do right and risk the consequences. Consequences. Msnbcs casey shunt in addison, texas, north of dallas for todays announcement. Kasie, is this state big enough for two texans . Thats the question today. Rick perry is going to announce in front of a c130 in front of the letters perry for president. Last time when she jumped in he shot to the top of polls. We know thats not going to happen this time. The question for him is whether or not hes going to be able to make a second First Impression. If you want to find out everything about yourself i mean, like everything some of which is even true run for president. Reporter rick perry learned that the hard way. The longestserving governor in Texas History starting out on top in the 2012 president ial race. I was a frontrunner. Three of the most glorious hours of my life. Reporter the hours before oops. The third agency of government i would i would do away education, um the um [ laughter ] commerce. Commerce. And, lets see i cant. The third one i cant. Sorry. Oops. Speaking of oops im glad ahad my boots on. I stepped in it out there. Reporter perry stumbled saying that the children of undocumented immigrants to pay instate tuition. If you say we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than that theyve been brought there by no fault of their own, i dont think you have a heart. Reporter perry came in fifth in iowa and dropped out before the South Carolina primary. I have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path forward for me in this 2012 campaign. Reporter now hes seeking redemption, planning a texas announcement highlighting his military experience. Im proud to have worn the uniform of the United States air force. Im proud of the young men and women who travel to far flung regions of the world today to fight for all thats right in the world. Reporter hes been studying up on energy and Foreign Policy working to correct his past mistakes. This time around perry will be vying for support with ted cruz and jeb bush who both have deep ties to texas and still looming . A state indictment for abuse of power that his team dismisses as politically motivated . This indictment amounts to nothing more than abuse of power. Reporter perry has already been campaigning hard in early states, doing event after event, no matter how small, trying to show voters this time hes for real. I think over the course of the last two years people realize that what they saw in 2012 is certainly not the person theyre looking at in 2013 2014, 2015. Reporter jose one early test for perry is going to be fundraising. Thats where the texas ties come in whether or not since hes no longer governor he can compete with ted cruz and jeb bush who have deep ties to the state and raise enough money. Jeb bush now is expected to announce on june 15 hell finally put an end to this will he or wont he is he actually a candidate, not a candidate back and forth. He, of course slipped up and said im running for president at an event in nevada a few weeks ago and hes been taking some heat for potentially skirting Campaign Finance laws. Were expecting that will come to an end finally here on june 15. Jose . Kaseiekasie, theyre cranking up the tunes behind you, right . I dont know if you like Country Music but if you cover republican president ial candidates you have to get used to it pretty quick. Reporter kasie hunt in texas, thanks so much. Were also following Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in texas today. The democratic frontrunner will be in houston where shell be speaking on Voting Rights. But its clintons newest primary challenger, Lincoln Chafee grabbing headlines after his 2016 announcement. He wasted no time attacking Hillary Clinton on iraq her judgment and ethics. Msnbcs Alex Seitzwald spoke the newest democratic candidate. Alex good morning. Reporter good morning, jose. Lincoln chafee went after clinton hard on her ethics, calling her opportunistic, saying donations to the Clinton Foundation colored her judgment as secretary of state and he when i asked him if he would vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election if shes the democratic nominee he wouldnt say. Take a look. Ill cross that bridge if we get to it. Im just not convinced shes going to be the democratic nominee. I think that the democrats have to use this republican war against the republicans in 2016. Its their war. They started it. So. So he knows his quickest path to relevancy is going after Hill
