months later, alexander says she was in the bathroom at their home here in jacksonville, florida, when her husband started pounding on the door. she says he was in a jealous rage over text messages on her cell phone. he managed to get the door open. that s when he strangled me. he put his hands around my neck. reporter: alexander got away from her husband and then made a fate full decision. she could have run out the front door and escaped. instead she ran into the garage but said she did not have her car keys so the garage door was stuck. instead she grabbed her gun she kept in this garage. what did you think you were going to do with it? i thought they was going to have to protect myself. were you thinking you might have to shoot him? yeah, i did. if it came to that. he saw my weapon at my side. and when he saw it he was even more upset. and that s when he threatened to kill me. but how is he going to kill you if you re the one with the gun? i agree. i thought it was
some other way. but it is quite it would be very unusual. steve, you supervised the last investigation into the u.s. embassy attack in nairobi. this team of eight agents on the ground in kenya right now, we re talking to them but we understand their focus right now is solely forensics. exactly what does that entail? is eight agents enough? well, eight agents isn t enough. i supervised the attack on the u.s. embassy attack on karachi, pakistan just to be clear. but eight agents is not enough. you saw the size of that hole in the ground. you couldn t excavate it and get the information you need. you would need dozens and dozens of agents to go through that. you re going call out the entire evidence response team. i mean, looking at that crime scene plus the rest of the mall, i d need over 100 agents to effectively work that. if you want to work that for a year, fine. but you re going to lose a lot of evidence on the way. 100 agents. it seems like a lot of the forensic evidence is
the debt ceiling limit. so congress hasn t figured out how to avoid next week s government shutdown, but already gearing up for the next showdown with the white house? is that right? reporter: it is right, absolutely. house republicans met this morning. they huddled about the kind of package they want to put together that includes raising the debt ceiling. and it does seem odd though it s not that far away. one of the main reasons is because republicans consider these things very much connected. for a couple of reasons, but primarily just in terms of controlling the restive caucus john boehner has. he s learned some lessons about this. he wants to try to tell them, look, hopefully from their perspective they will pass a bill to fund the government. it might not have the spending cuts on it. might not have the other things, obamacare defunding on it. but they shouldn t worry so much because the next fight is just around the corner. and they have a laundry list of things. one republica
that women shouldn t be involved in operations that men are doing. we ve seen female suicide attackers carry a bomb. but if what nima is describing where a woman was actually firing automatic weapons and playing a leading role in this operation, that would be i think quite unusual. the reports though from eyewitnesses of multiple women. but didn t chechnyan terrorists use women in attacks even in i m thinking back in sri lanka were there a lot of suicide attacks by women as well? that s a good point. there was a huge attack on a theater in moscow where women were amongst the operatives. i haven t seen it with al shabaab, the group that s responsible for the kenya attack. i haven t really seen it with groups that are affiliated with al qaeda. they re happy to send women as suicide bombers. but it s very unusual for them to actually be playing an operational role. now, that doesn t mean that they can t be involved in financing the group or supporting it in
how do you do? we ve been trying to reach you and talk to you about the widespread fraud that s in the medi-cal drug rehab business. but we re told that neither you north program director or anybody in the state of california will talk to us about it. in an uncomfortable moment, the secretary at first refused to speak. secretary? do you know alex ferdman, a convicted felon, who apparently runs one of these clinics and has been billing the state of california for several years? despite the fact that there have been complaints registered with the department about him? he s convicted of a major insurance fraud in the state of texas but for somehow was able to get certified and has been billing. i m just wondering if there s anybody in the state of california that s concerned about this fraud. then finally answer add question. the state of takes fraud very seriously. and there are many investigations that are under way. the allegations, all allegations are given full and fair
