many of them in plain clothes as well. so certainly there would be a lot of eyewitnesss. there would be a lot of tape that the police says they are going through. and clearly there s video of that white car that police believe might be the one that was used. it isn t confirmed yet, but clearly it was caught on surveillance cameras as well. victor. fred explain for us his role in the opposition movement and what is planned tomorrow to memorialize him? reporter: he was very important here in russia but we have to keep in mind that the opposition movement here for a long time has been marginalized. you can read that. when you look at the approval ratings vladimir putin has in this country, the recent approval rating came out a couple days ago at 86% approval. think about that. if you look at the western politicians and the approval ratings they regularly get. and one of the things we have to say is that the approval is

we heard that eyewitnesss had seen a white car stop in front of boris office. and a friend he was with from ukraine here opened fire and then sped off. and so certainly there was a manhunt underway. also specifically they are looking for a white car. it was interesting as we drove around moscow late last night and there were white cars being stopped frequently as police were clearly looking for the suspects. now, still it is unclear who was driving that car. it s still very much unclear who is behind this. however, throughout the day the russian authorities have said they have been making they believe headway on the investigation. they have questioned several witnesses. of course first and foremost the female friend who was with boris walking on this bridge late last night. also one of the things we have to keep in mind is that the area we re in right now, the area around the kremlin, has a lot of surveillance technology. there s a lot of cameras here and a lot of police officers here
equipment, everything was there and intact. but so sorry that you missed your qualifying. so you know how happy or relieved or also disappointed are you? well mixed feelings for sure. it s a big plus that we found the race car, and i think some of the equipment and actually the truck and trailer is still missing, i believe. but the biggest thing is we found the race car. it s a small team, and this is a big set back for us if that was missing. so it was enough of a setback as it was, not being able to qualify and run the race atlanta motor speedway this weekend. but, you know we can with this race car, we can move forward, and we can go to las vegas next week and just really thankful. and happy for all the guys that worked so hard on this car. we ve put a lot of hours into it and it would have been a real shame if it was just gone. so do you think this you know alleged thief knew what he or she was taking?
