>> reporter: well, not very much, fred. they're not telling us what prompted them to go back to that apartment to have another look. of course they've been using search warrants. they're saying that much obviously. as they go back there to look for potentially more evidence to use in their investigation in this bombing case. as you indicated earlier sources have told us they did find explosive bomb residue in at least three spots in that apartment. a kitchen table, a kitchen sink and a bathtub. what prompted them to go back there today we don't know nor do we know what they may have retrieved. fred? >> talk about the conversation you had with the father of one of the suspects who happens to be a friend of dzhokhar tsarnaev. what was said? >> reporter: this is very interesting because we spoke with the father and he speaks only russian so through an interpreter this is the first time he has gone into great detail about his visit with his son in jail on friday. the first time he's spoken about this in detail. he said that his son denied any role in the bombing. his son is azamat tazhayakov. he said that his son said that he was simply afraid that his friend dzhokhar might have something to do with the bombing after he saw his photograph on television and that's what prompted he and another friend to go over to the dorm room and take out things from his dorm room and then finally as you know the fbi raided his apartment and he said his son cooperated fully. i asked him why did he hide that evidence allegedly. >> translator: i asked my son did you want to help dzhokhar? he said, dad, if we wanted to help him, we would have thrown the laptop out too. we didn't want to throw anything out. it's just that kadyrbayev got scared and threw the bag out. when he brought the bag over from dzhokhar, he took the laptop out and put it on the table. they didn't want to help him. they said if we wanted to help him, we would have thrown out the laptop too and we would bury the bag in the ground somewhere. >> reporter: the father of tazhayakov said his son is a 19 year old who was simply afraid and did not intentionally, he said, do anything wrong, fred. >> all right. susan candiotti there in boston. thank you. a youth soccer referee was allegedly punched in the head by a player. the injury later put him in a coma and now the ref is dead. ricardo portillo passed away last night in utah. police say a 17-year-old player punched the ref at a game last weekend. portillo had just given the teen a yellow card, which is a warning for breaking the rules. police say portillo appeared okay at first but then got much worse. the player is in juvenile detention. authorities say he was charged with aggravated assault but he's expected to face even more charges this week. in california, a fun night out with friends turned into a nightmare for a group of women. a fire broke out in their stretch limo and many of them were trapped in the burning car. cnn is following the story. nick, what more can you tell us? you mentioned this may have been a wedding party. >> that's what local media out lets a outlets are reporting. girls night out turned fatal. we believe among the deceased was the bride to be. cnn cannot independently verify these reports. in a conversation with california highway patrol they read similar reports. earlier chp said the fire started outside of the passenger area of the limousine. they're looking at pictures that witnesses took last night. those flames flaming from the back of the limousine. they believe the fire started underneath the limousine or even in the trunk. about 10:00 p.m. last night as the car was crossing a bridge. the driver pulled over and was able to get out unharmed. those that were seated in the back were not able to get out as fast. the fire spread too quickly and corone coroner's office said they were so badly burned it could take days. >> those sitting closer to the front may have climbed into the driver's area and exited those doors opposed to the door in the rear. >> we also understand according to chp that there were good samaritans on hand pulling some from the vehicle. it's important to note we reached out to this limousine company. they have not answered our calls but they did release a statement to the media. i'll read part of that statement. they say that limostop will do everything possible to investigate and assist authorities in determining the cause of this fire in order to help bring forth answers and provide closure to victims and their families. such a tragic situation. a bachelorette party out for a good night of fun. i'm sure they could not have expected this to happen. >> this is so unusual. i don't think too many folks have heard about a limo fire to that degree. all right. thanks so much. appreciate it. firefighters now have the upper hand on the huge wildfire burning through the los angeles hills. calmer winds, cooler temperatures and rain in the forecast are all helping. the fire is now 60% contained and fire crews say they'll have it fully under control by monday but there's a threat of thunderstorms and with that often comes lightning which could spark more fires. 28,000 acres are burning and thousands of homes are still threatened. let's turn to meteorologist alexandra steele for precisely how the weather is working in the firefighters' favor. >> the one thing this area of low pressure, the catalyst for the big weather pattern change and thus the change in fighting this fire. almost 60% contained. tomorrow the expectation to be contained. there it is. it's changing it on so many fronts. we're seeing much calmer winds. temperatures dropping 20 to 30 degrees. a big cooldown and now to a return to this normal damp pattern off the pacific. this westerly wind we're seeing now bringing in all of the moisture. we have the clouds. temperatures out of the 90s down to the 60s. rain coming in today, tomorrow and even into tuesday. so a big-time pattern change is really affecting wildfires and containment. they needed rain in the west finally getting it. to the east, it's just a deluge. a slow, sluggish system bringing record rain to places like atlanta, georgia. almost 3.5 inches. back since 1917 topping records and with that today a flood threat from st. louis down to atlanta. there are records we've seen in terms of rain for the two-day event. three inches, two inches in some areas and even one inch breaking the record. tomorrow stubborn area of low pressure doesn't move much. the weather bringing it all of the way into washington and virginia. more rain coming there for you as we head toward the beginning of the week. fred? >> all right. alexandra steele, thank you so much. syrian officials are blaming israel for attacking the military's research facility. this report comes after israel allegedly carried out an air strike against syria last week. frederik pleitgen has details. >> gigantic explosions lit up the skies over damascus. it went on for more than an hour rocking a large military area in the suburbs of syria's capital and prompting terrified nearby residents to run for cover. this family lives a little over a mile away. daughter, anna, tells me what happened. >> after the first two bombs we kept hearing explosions. there was nine of them because everything kept exploding over and over again. you can hear gun shots. you can hear people screaming. basically we didn't know what to do and there was a problem with breathing because the smoke was too much. >> reporter: in the second alleged israeli air strike in three days, the latest target was a military research facility. the opposition says it was an ammunition depot. in an exclusive interview with cnn, syria's deputy foreign minister said syria would retaliate in its own time and way. >> this is an alliance between al qaeda and israel and syria and shows common interests and what israel and its allies have tried to hide for a long time is more clear. when they attack, this is a declaration of war. >> reporter: israel has neither confirmed nor denied the attack but as violent uprising against the regime of bashar al assad drags on, israel has become increasingly worried about syria's chemical weapon stockpiles and believes the regime is trying to ship conventional weapons to hezbollah. a group that other countries declared a terrorist organization. >> until now the information is not very clear on what happened. did they fire missiles or planes? it's not clear for me because i am not aware how it happened but of course it's worrying but israel will suffer. >> the family is still shaken by the event. >> very scary. there's nothing we can do. we are going to die right now. stay scared. sorry. >> reporter: they say they hope they never have to witness anything similar again. in madrid, spain, spectators watched in horror at an air show as a small plane finished what should have been a routine maneuver. no one knows exactly what happened or what caused that crash. the pilot died hours later at the hospital. more than a dozen people were injured on the ground. the pilot was a commander in the spanish air force and a trainer. back in this country, were lessons learned from the 9/11 attacks forgotten when it came to the boston marathon bombings? the chairman of the 9/11 commission weighs in next.

>> i don't think we know yet. it looks on the surface like there may have been some problems. communication is better now we know between the agencies than it was after 9/11. was it sufficient? was there still things that one agency knew and didn't pass onto another? my hope is we'll find out in congressional hearings and we'll go on to correct whatever the problem is. >> congressman hamilton, what does your gut say? >> i don't think it's clear there was a failure of intelligence or intelligence sharing at least not at this point. obviously a very, very serious failure to prevent the attack in the boston marathon and therefore as tom suggests we have to sharpen our inquiry and learn all we possibly can about the event and make corrections. i have been impressed, however, so far. i was impressed by the way the event was handled, the emergency response in boston. i was impressed by the investigation. i was kind of surprised that the two brothers didn't get out of town and get out of the area very quickly. but from the standpoint of intelligence and intelligence sharing, i don't think it's been shown at this point that there is a failure and no one has come forward with a suggestion of major restructuring or additions to the infrastructure of our counterterrorism organizations. >> governor, are you surprise d at all that post-your commission report that even with the russian government saying we're suspicion of this individual, tamerlan tsarnaev, you should look into him, he's been to make a trip to chechnya and russia and you should keep an eye on him and there was no follow-up upon his return, does it seem as though protocol or even recommendations from the commission's report were followed? >> you have to remember first there are millions of bits of information that they are getting every day like that report from the russians and every one of them has to be followed through. this is a new threat, this idea of people who are native born americans who can travel around and do whatever they want to under our laws of freedom and yet who are terrorists and have been learned over the internet to be terrorists. this is a threat that we wrote a report on about a year ago and then another report in december in which we said this is what the government ought to be doing about this. i don't think the government is doing what we recommend as of yet but my hope is the learning we get from this particular incident is going to make us more alert. >> what is not happening you wish was happening per your report? >> as far as i'm concerned, first of all, we suggested that the white house itself get involved and that we monitor what's going on over the internet. these people were radicalized by radical islamic websites. and chat rooms and that. we should train our agents to get on that business and listen to what's going on to try to intervene where possible and teach in the schools what to be aware of and what to watch out for. we think there ought to be people tracking these things all of the time and we think there should be people involved in some of these groups that are listening and maybe trying to intervene at some point between somebody becoming just a radical and someone who wants to blow up somebody. there's a period where you can intervene in that period and we have to intervene better than we did in this case. >> congressman, what do you hope may come from the hearings this week? >> look, i think the big lesson that emerges from boston is c e complacency. our record has been pretty good. we've had no bombings since 9/11 until the boston marathon. and that's a good record. but it's also apparent if you look back over our recent political debates that homeland security dropped off the board. i cannot remember frankly homeland security being discussed in the 2012 presidential campaign. i can't remember politicians talking about it. i have been saying for years that you must not become complacent. you must not relax. you have to strengthen all of your defenses and you have to maintain them and by that i mean being prepared for emergency response where you are fortunate in boston because many of the first responders were already on the scene. you have to make sure your surveillance is as good as it can be within the laws of the states which obviously put restraints on law enforcement. you have to be sure that law enforcement officers are not constrained within the bounds of the constitution and privacy. you have to do all you can to have effective community policing. this maybe is the most important defense against the kind of radicalization that tom was talking about a moment ago. they have to keep sources open in every community so there are all kinds of things that have to be done but the key thing is you must not become complacent as i think we have until the boston marathon attack on homeland security. it takes an ongoing ever vigilant effort. >> congressmstay with me. we'll take a short commercial break but we'll talk about whether you think washington given that it is so polarized whether this issue in and of itself will become politicized as well. plus, to the question for everybody out there. do you know where your clothes are made and how and by whom?
