is only the fourth case ever detected in the united states. normally an animal contracts bse from consuming contaminated feed and this cow tested positive from atypical bse, it s a rare form of the disease and not generally associated with an animal-consuming infected feed and it states, quote, the cow was never presented for slaughter for human consumption so at no time presented a risk to the food supply and milk does not transmit bse. so you can see there the usda trying to say that the food supply is not in jeopardy there. we also have received just a few moments ago of video press release from the usda that they released on to youtube explaining a little more. i think we re having some audio issues there, but additional lab testing and information sharing is being done now with animal health labs in canada and england. a little bit of background. the first case of bse in the united states was detected back in 2003. that was a classical case and it was detected in a
and in bryant neal vinas case he had something of value? some his declarations had an added value for several intelligence and law enforcement services. with his newfound european jihadi friends, bryant talked about terror plots. at one time discussing a plan to attack belgium s metro, the underground rail commuter network here in brussels. but it wasn t the only rail network that bryant discussed targeting. he told investigators he talked with al qaeda about attacking the long island railroad, the terminals here in penn station and new york. they reacted swiftly, within several weeks of his arrest, stepping up security here in time for thanksgiving 2008. i don t doubt for a moment that since 9/11 al qaeda s desire and intention to attack new york city hasn t dropped one iota, that they still, really,
than demonstrate. they re not going to do more than put out extreme statements and those who were serious about the jihad leave these groups. and bryant has already made it clear that he wants to wage jihad, making him feel increasingly out of step with the moderate selden mosque. he needs somewhere else to pray. he comes up this long dirt road to a small nondescript house. a new mosque. the man who was then deputy head of the fbi s national security branch tells me that he sees this pattern all too often. people peeling off in smaller groups because either they don t feel comfortable in one environment or people actively in that environment say, you re not welcome here. that s a pretty common phenomenon. are they more at risk once they ve peeled off? yes. i think they re clearly more at risk because you re going to get a close circle of individuals, where other ideas can t penetrate. we stand up for the truth! some in bryant s group tell me that bryant came to believe that
from a foreign terrorist organization. and conspiracy to murder u.s. nationals. this potential information that he d given to al qaeda, that sort concept had already been used, not only in mumbar, but also, frankly, in madrid. bryant s story isn t over yet. as much as he was a potential benefit to al qaeda, now he s a gold mine to the u.s. so far he s given over a hundred interviews to the fbi. counterterrorism officials say this information has been exceptionally helpful, priceless in targeting al qaeda and the taliban. as good, officials say, as having a u.s. spy penetrate al qaeda. i don t respect your opinion because bryant s former radical hero feels betrayed. for informing on the people that are fighting in afghanistan i call him a coward, absolutely. it s heartening to get somebody like this to learn and to keep evolving and al qaeda s
that he took up bin laden s command to stop paying united states taxes, he also told them that he wanted to go and fight jihad. but his friends never thought he would actually go and do it. i didn t think that he was going to go kill somebody. bryant suggests to alex they come here to this long island gun range just a few weeks before he would leave. alex still doesn t realize how serious his friend is about going to wage jihad. so what were you what were you shooting here? we was just clay shooting and shooting at targets. yeah? the targets up here? yes. yeah? oh, we probably shot a good 200 rounds. did he like it on the range? did he like being here and hearing the guns going off? yeah. he liked it very much. he felt free. but bryant has a problem
