pounds, does that mean you are a bad parent? some experts now arguing the state should actually remove obese kids from their families. tonight, the custody controversy. first, from fox this wednesday night, another day of terror in mumbai. i'm trace gallagher in for shepard smith. three bombings killing at least 21 people and wounding more than 140. officials calling it a terror attack, though so far no one has claimed responsibility. and some of the images too graphic for tv. bodies lying in the streets. survivors dragging bloodied victims to trucks and taxis. police say the blast went off in three different neighborhoods just minutes apart during the evening rush. president obama condemning the, quote, outrageous attacks: it is the deadliest assault on india's financial capital since november of 2008. that's when militants killed more than 166 people in a three day rampage. the national correspondent catherine herridge works intelligence for us. she is live in our d.c. newsroom. what else do we know about today's bombings? >> u.s. officials are watching and waiting tonight for claim of responsibility but none has materialized. these officials describe the attack as, quote, coordinated and hall marks of sophisticated operation. senator with intelligence background says the mujahideen is suspect but tells fox the group is poorly organized and probably had outside help, probably from pakistani intelligence. >> but with the dramatic attack like, this obviously coordinated over three locations, it took money and it took planning. that always raises the spector of the isi in pakistan. >> still photos seem to confirm early reports that the plot relied on improvised explosive devices or ied's plabilitied in parked cars. an attack often associated with afghanistan, iraq and pakistan. but, again tonight there is still no immediate claim of responsibility. that's the same pattern we saw back in 2008, trace. >> trace: catherine, this could effect the united states as well, right? >> as soon as the story broke, the focus was on these similarities with the attack in 2008. that was a rampage that was surprisingly low tech. it relied on 10 pakistani militants armed with cell phones, handguns and backpacks filled with explosives. the group with links to pakistani intelligence was ultimately blamed. leading analysts warn to jumping to any conclusions. >> if the attack were caused to try to provoke a crisis between india and pakistan that would have major complications for the united states. we don't want to see those two countries go into another crisis and fight another war which they have done three times in the past. >> secretary of state clinton is going ahead with travel to india that was previously scheduled for next week, trace. >> trace: catherine herridge live for us in watt. catherine, thank you. fox urgent now, latest white house meeting on raising the nation's debt ceiling with president obama abruptly walking out. that's the word from house majority leader eric cantor, and the stakes in the standoff just got higher. the credit agency moody's putting america's aaa rating on review for a possible downgrade. that could raise interest rates on things like mortgages and car loans. officials at other credit rating agencies, standard and poor's and fitch say they may make similar moves. moody's official say a deal is looking less and less likely. the top senate republican says he agrees. minority leader mitch mcconnell coming up with a plan he calls the last resort to let the president raise the debt ceiling on his own. >> the president began to insist in recent weeks that he would only consider spending cuts later if republicans agreed now to one of the biggest tax hikes in history. republicans refuse to be drawn into this legislative trap. >> mcconnell plan shows what the other party, the other side of the aisle really cares about. preserving tax breaks for the rich, preserving corporate loopholes, much more than reducing our deficit and bringing down our debt. >> but senator schumer and other democrats are praising senator mcconnell for at least coming up with a plan. in fact, it's some of his fellow republicans who say they don't like it. mike emanuel is live for us at the white house. mike, what do we know about how this latest meeting went? >> well, trace, sources inside the room say it was the most tense meeting of the week. as you mentioned, the president walking out after almost two hours. congressman eric cantor telling reporters that any progress that was made seems to have been erased. frustration appears to be running high. here is one description. house speaker john boehner telling reporters earlier today's dealing with therges the white house, the last couple of months has been like dealing with jell-o. some days it is firmer than others. sometimes it's like they have left it out overnight. both sides will get back to the negotiating table tomorrow, late afternoon for day five in a row. trace? >> trace: mike, what about the mcconnell backup plan? it sounds like republicans dislike it more than democrats do. >> no question about that. a lot of republicans have been highly critical. trying to be critical not to be critical of senator mcconnell but saying they do not like the plan. the white house even sound like they liked it more than some of the republicans. here's a sample of the reaction. take a listen. >> i don't like the idea of relinquishing our power to raise the debt just for the president. i view that we have a responsibility as members of congress to bring the accountability back to this country. >> while we think it's important that senator mcconnell has acknowledged that under no circumstances should we default on our obligations, that would not be a satisfying outcome to us. >> but it sounds like these consecutive meetings day after day have not provided any kind of satisfying outcome. and so you wonder if the mcconnell plan may become necessity, trace? >> trace: you wonder. mike emanuel live for us at the white house. mike, thank you. the evidence was manufactured. that from defense attorneys for the former pitching great roger clemens whose federal perjury trial began today in washington. as you may know, the rocket faces up to 30 years in prison if found guilty of lying under oath to congress about his suspected use of performance-enhancing drugs. prosecutors say they have needles and cotton balls that contain clemens' d.n.a. as well as traces of steroids that proves clemens was lying back in 2008 when he said. this i have been accused of something i'm not guilty of. how do you prove a negative? no matter what we discuss here, i'm never going to have my name restored, but i have got to try to set the record straight. let me be clear, i have never taken steroids or hgh. >> trace: the defense claims that statement was true and that clemens former personal trainer brian mcnamee my manufactured the evidence found on the needles and the cotton balls. jonathan hunt live in new york with more. jonathan, what else did the prosecution say today to bolster their case? >> well, first of all, trace, they said that that evidence, the needles and the cotton balls was kept by brian mcnamee my because he was always kept particular call that roger clemens was defend him if there were ever any allegations over steroids. and when he realized that he was in the prosecution's words, being thrown under the bus, the trainer, he decided to keep that material. prosecution attorneys also said they will call 45 witnesses, including some of clemens' former teammates who will prove that clemens did, indeed, take steroids and human growth hormone, trace. >> trace: jonathan, the defense attacking the credibility of this former trainer. >> yeah. it seems that that will be the basis of the defense. they are going to go after this former trainer, brian mcnamee me. they said today in court that he has told a series of lies and, quote, he is still lying. they also say there has been a rush to judgment against roger clemens. and u by the way, if you are wondering what a baseball legend does after his first day in court, take a look at this. there he is roger clemens going to the dry cleaners, straight from the court. snapped by our producer mike lavigne. he was apparently picking up a shirt and some other clothes. so there you go, trace, celebrities are just like us. although you never pick up your own dry cleaning i hear. >> trace: got to have clean clothes. jonathan, thank you. the new legal hake for casey anthony as she gets hit with a brand new lawsuit while she is still behind bars. >> i will see if the system is going to work and just hope we don't get the same jury. i mean, that's a fact. >> trace: we'll see what this case is all about and what defense lawyers say about the plan for when she walks free this weekend. plus, if your children are overweight, should the state take them away?

>> trace: the search for a missing 8-year-old boy in brooklyn, new york ending today after police say they found his severed limbs inside a freezer. and in a suitcase. he went missing in a tightly knit jewish neighborhood monday while on the way to meet his mother after day camp. it was the first time his parents had allowed him to walk alone. police commissioner raymond kelly says investigators tracked down a 35-year-old suspect spotted on surveillance video with the boy. on his refrigerator and inside his home they discovered blood. >> inside the refrigerator was a cutting board with three carving knives with blood on them. some of the remains were in the freezer. and others in the dumpster two and a half miles away. >> trace: police say the little boy apparently got lost on the seven block walk home and asked for directions. on tuesday night thousands of neighbors, friends, and family searched for the boy. >> just a straight up citgo -- sicko. the guy is crazy. and anybody who -- doesn't matter jewish, puerto rico,en anywhere. anybody who does such a thing is a sicko. >> trace: authorities say the suspect has no major criminal record. the police commissioner says statements made by the suspect indicate he panicked when he saw the extensive search for the boy and that is why he killed him. casey anthony's lawyers are now responding to reports that she is going to change her looks when she gets out of jail. a jury cleared casey of killing her daughter and she is due to walk free this sunday. and the "chicago sun times" had reported talk that casey was considering changing her name or even getting plastic surgery. but a member of casey's defense team says don't bet on it. those comments are coming up. meantime, it looks like casey has some more court appearances in her future. the texas search group equusearch has now filed a lawsuit against casey to get back all the money it spent looking for caylee. equusearch reports it spent more than $100,000 on the effort and 4200 volunteers contributed their time. the group served casey with the lawsuit this morning in jail. >> there was really no reaction. she just asked if i had got a copy to her attorney. >> did she look surprised or anything like that? >> not really. she was actually -- i think she had just woke up. >> trace: equusearch also reports that while teams were looking for casey's not really missing daughter, it turned down 15 requests from other families to look for their missing loved ones. phil keating covered the trial and is he live in our south florida newsroom. casey isn't planning on plastic surgery, apparently? >> very unlikely, trace. a blunt response, one of the defense team members of casey anthony tells us any report about her living life like a former mobster in witness protection is, quote, a crock just b.s., adding her biggest concern right now is getting out of jail and safely. we will keep her safe and give her options. and about an hour ago, a 10:00 a.m. court hearing has been scheduled for friday on behalf of the real gonzalez. she is suing casey anthony for defamation for using her name as the nanny who kidnapped cale lee. her attorney tops depose her in prison for fear she will change her name and look and go into hiding. trace? >> trace: phil, you have heard any more why they are not charging casey's mom for perjury? >> later this afternoon we did. it comes down to trying and trying cindy anthony for perjury is not worth it she was, of course, the mother of casey anthony and said she was the one who searched for chloroform on the home computers which was later disproven on the trial. according to a spokesman for the state attorney's office quote it would be a tremendous effort for the state to prove it and tremendous cost to the state. we would look vindictive like sour grapes. the prosecutor is saying he doesn't want to seem eager to win a perjury conviction against the mom just because he failed to get the murder conviction against the daughter. trace? >> trace: phil keating live for us in south florida. phil, thank you. our own greta van susteren is continuing her conversation with the casey anthony jury foreman. here is a preview of tonight's interview. >> did she look at you at all?

any idea? >> i have no clue. it's -- as far as, you know, i know from what i have seen in evidence, i know from the videos that i have seen from her when she was in prison, the pictures that were taken that were admitted in evidence, anything about her personality, i do think that she has issues that she will battle forever. >> trace: the full interview airs "on the record" tonight 10:00 p.m. eastern time. again, "on the record." kids' meals could look a whole lot different the next time you walk into a fast food restaurant. the big name chains that claim they are making those meals healthier. that's next. plus, the minnesota government shut down now affecting the beer industry. and forcing one of the nation's biggest brewers to take its product out of stores. and another unbelievable finish at the women's world cup. the u.s. team doing something it has not been able to do in 12 years. and that is still ahead.
