authorities to losing him? according to an administration official, shahzad was added to the no fly list 12:30 monday afternoon. nine minutes later a message went out to air carriers advising them there was a special add to the list, but shahzad s name was not caught by emirates airlines at 6:30 when he made his reservation while driving to the airport or at 7:35 when he showed up at the counter and bought his ticket with cash because the airline had not yet updated its no fly list. to close that loophole, the tsa is now requiring that airlines update no fly lists within two hours of getting a special notification from tsa. jeanne meserve is with us now live. you received new information about a possible motive for shahzad. give us your sense of what you re hearing? this is something that will sound familiar to everyone. i just talked to someone who s familiar with this investigation who says that shahzad felt that
islam was under attack and that was his motivation, campbell. you are also learning, i know, there was a specific reason that the tsa didn t call the airlines to alert them about shahzad. what was it? well, an administration official tells me that this is something they ve done in the past, that in addition to putting out an alert saying we have an addition to the no fly list, they have picked up the phone and said be on the lookout for this person. the tsa did not notify all airlines at the request of the fbi for investigative reasons. i did reach out to the fbi for a response. richard cole co says we do not comment on specific investigations or techniques. one can surmise this was tightly held information. they did not want this name leaking out so they were being quite careful about who they distributed it to. in the end there was another trap in the system that did catch this individual. all right, jeanne meserve for
shahzad nearly slipped through the cracks and escaped to the middle east. first senior homelands security correspondent jeanne meserve brings us up to speed on the investigation. i understand you ve a photograph from dawn news shows he went through immigration in july 2009. according to an official, on july 7th, he was driven to peshawar and on to waziristan where he is believed to meet with one or more taliban leaders. mohammed rehan, the militant group has strong ties to the taliban and child. rehan was taken into custody on tuesday. officials say at this point, there is nothing definitive
