isis conspiracy to intimidate and kill u.s. personnel, military personnel. prosecutors claim ar death penalty it ferizi stole sensitive personal information about more than 1,000 federal employees and members of the u.s. mitary. he then allegedly passed it to junaid hussain, a british radical who u.s. officials say was the mastermind behind a isis social media campaign with deadly intentions. >> junaid hussain was recruiting western targs for lone wolf attacks. >> reporter: the hacking division created a kill list posting the e mes of those military personnel and federal we're passing on your personal information to the soldiers who on will strike at your necks in your own lands. the fbi director said the goal was to inspire lone wolves inside the u.s. to attack here at home. >> kill where you are, kill anyone but especially if you could kill people e military uniform or law enforcement uniform and video it, that would be best of all. >> reporter: he was considered so dangerous he became a top target for u.s. intelligence killed in syria by a u.s. air strike in august. today u.s. officials are feeling a bit of satisfaction hoping the man who produced that list is now in handcuffs, george. >> okay, pierre, thanks very much. we turn now to that cable feds for lying about his ties to the cia. he's charged with using those clearance and big government jobs. abc's linsey davis has the story. good morning, lynn say. >> reporter: wayne s smons is expected in court charged with fraud against the u.s. specifically he's accused of lying about having a 27-year career with

>> reporter: wayne simmons claims to have led a life of danger and international intrigue as he recounted at this 2013 citizens commission on benghazi conference. >> nobody knew who i was, nobody was allowed to know who i was. >> reporter: even making numerous television appearances as a guest commentator. >> the president should show some leadership, some spine and let our enemies as well as our allies know that we mean business. >> wayay simmonds, former cia >> reporter: but this morning the fbi is claiming wayne simmons is a liar charging him against the united states, wire fraud and making false statements to the government. indictment, simmons falsely claimed he had worked for the security clearance and lucrative government contract jobs including an overseas deployment as an intelligence adviser to senior military personnel. >> if people like him can penetrate the government security system, then if they had ill intentions just think what they could do. that's the big issue. >> reporter: prosecutors say he even used the cia charade to explain away past felony convictions including one involving violence. according to the indictment he claimed they were related to his intelligence work for the cia. a spokeswoman for fox news says simmons was never more than a guest on the network and that the reference to him on air as a fox news contributor was actually an error adding that he was never a paid commentator. now, if convicted of all three charges simmons faces up to 35 years behind bars and, robin and george, no comment from simmons. >> that's serious time possible. >> that's it. new details this morning on on life support in a las vegas hospital, his children and other loved ones by his side, abc's kayna whitworth is in las vegas for us this morning. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: yeah, robin, good morning to you. so a source close to the kardashians telling me overnight the family is very worried about lamar odom's vital organs mainly his lungs and kidneys and also reports of swelling of the brain this morning. this morning lamar odom's estranged wife khloe kardashian remains by his side as he fights for his life. her sisters and mother on a private jet back to los angeles. "people" magazine reporting the former basketball star breathing with the help of a ventilator still unconscious, his family preparing themselv for the worst. odom's children speaking out for the first time saying thanks for your outpouring of prayers and support for our dad. we ask for your continued prayers. it's been four days since the 6'10" star was found unresponsive and foaming at the mouth by staffers at a nevada brothel. >> they can't get him to wake >> reporter: one of his closest friends saying things have been looking up the last couple of days. >> i talked to him two weeks ago and he was in a great mood, he had just worked out. he was up and positive and happy and i hung up saying he's in a good place right now. >> reporter: a friend of odom's telling abc news he was training to try to make an nba comeback but the father of odom's best friend who died in june from drug complications told "the new york daily news" both men seemed to have a death wish. over night the kardashians posting they will suspend their paid websites as they, quote, continue to support and pray for lamar, thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time. now, we're also hearing that khloe's mom and sister could return to las vegas this weekend, it's possible that khloe might have difficult decisions to make in the days ahead. also the sheriff's department performed an entire search of the brothel where lamar was found and employees told me they searched his personal belongings which wasn't much. he showeith a backpack and pair of gym shoes. they then ordered the warrant for his blood and, robin, this morning we're still awaiting those results. >> all right, kayna, thank you. now, amy has the morning's other top stories and i just came back from austin, texas, overnight and you could see from the plane the smoke billowing into the air. >> yeah, this wildfire just east of austin is so out of control, robin, that a dc-10 air tanker is now joining the firefight. the flames quadrupled in size one day scorching six square miles and destroying nearly three dozen homes. 400 others are in danger. breaking overnight a jewish holy site has been attacked by palestinians in the west bank who threw firebombs at the tomb of joseph. it is further escalating tensions in the region after recent attacks left at least 39 people dead. and new details about the u.s. air strike on a hospital in afghanistan. critics call it a war crime. the associated press reports u.s. special operations believe the facility was being used as a it was a hospital. it is unclear if that was communicated to commanders who then called in that air strike. well, another setback for those daily fantasy sports websites, the state of nevada now says draftkings and fanduel will need a gambling license to operate. the sites claim they should be exempt from gambling laws because they provide game of skill, not of chance. well, imagine seeing this out the window as you're taking off at the airport. a man saw -- look at that -- a part of the plane's engine coming apart and flying off. this happened on a budget airline in chile. the pilot made an emergency landing a few minutes later and reportedly, remarkably everyone on board remained calm. and finally if you're scrolling through facebook and thinyour friends have more in fact, they're probably faking it. people on social media admit their friends jealous, two-thirds admitting to post pictures to make their lives much more adventurous than they are and 6% admit borrowing items like fancy jewelry and passing them off as their own to make their friends jealous. >> just too much work. too much work. >> you should have known that. >> exactly. i like to post pictures of my socks in

life. he had a role in each of the mets' three scores. >> murphy the wildest of the mets base runners. solo home run to put the mets up for good. >> has broken the tie. >> reporter: frustration for the dodgers, the team with the highest payroll in baseball at around $300 million. tv cameras caught andre ethier shouting at don mattttgly in the dugout and turned to chase utley to pinch hit. >> we

take pictures before the ceremony so weould be at the reception ourselves. >> that's smart. >> i hadn't thought about that. >> what did you do in the elevator? itting looked like there was a party in there in yeah, evererne just kininof whipped out theirir phones and started taking pictures. liz, i think you said you wanted to do a sing-along. >> i wasn't sure. i felt like other people wouldn't

reporter: nicole and jonas maines aren't your average siblings. believe it or not they are identical twins, the one is female and the other male. >> i'll go to say something and he'll say it right before i say it. >> reporter: nicole wasn't alwaysnicole. bornrn wyatt she's transgender. >> just knew in my head and heart that i was supposed to be a girl. >> reporter: for her parents kelly and wayne it was all very puzzling. >> all the girl roles. she always wanted to dress as a girl character. so i knew there was something different about her. i just made it point of making sure i could do whahaver i could do for her to get her where she needed to be and also to know me. >> reporter: wayneuggled with the idea of letting go of one of his sons. >> i had to dig deep into my soul and say, hey, what are you afraid of? >> reporter: they let their son grow out his hair, wear girl's clothing and just recently complete the final step of transition, sex reassignment surgery. we met nicole just days before the surgery. >> you're only 17. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: teenagers change their minds a lot. teenagers sort of are here one day and there the next day. are you sure you're ready to make such a commitmentnt >> absolutely. when i think about am i scared about surgy, will i change my mind, this is always been what i needed. this is always been like i said my light at the end of the tunnel. >> reporter: nicole's story raises many questions, how can identicallwins with the same dna travel such different paths? and what do these twins tell us about what it means to be transgender? a fresh look at the old debate of nature versus nurture. for "good morning america," deborah roberts, abc news, maine. >> theheare supportive. thank you, b. joined by abc's dr. richard besser. love to get your thoughts on this, rich. >> i find it absolutely fascinating. we're learning more and more about gender identity and how it forms because you would think you have identical twins, their genes are all the same. thth'll be the same in every way. but it turns out our geneses have little switches on them. they can be turned on and off and so even though they have identical genes, there are studies that show only 39% of the time where one is transgender will the other be as well so it's absolutely fascinating. >> wow, you saw where deb was asking nicole about being a teenager and sometimes parents will say, so and so is just going through a phase. when do you know it's different? >> well, with gender identity, you usually know very early on. yes, you know, teens try on different identities and little kid, preschoolers, boys will want to try on girl's clothes d vice versa. with gender identity it usually forms early by around age 2. nicole knew, she said i knew that i was a girl. and preschool she would introduce her, hi, i'm wyatt, i am i boy but i know i'm a girl. it's different from saying i want to try on a dress. >> nicole's parents, so supportive. how as a parent do you approach this? >> you know, it's hard to imagine what a parent must feel when they have this one idea of what their child is going to be like and they get this fference. you u nt to ask y yr child's doctor and, you know, realize a lot of doctors have no idea how to deal with this. say you have any experience in dealing with issues around gender identity, if not, can you refer me to someone who does. so you can get some support around this. something new but our ability to talk about it is something that is -- reached a whole new level. >> some people think it is. it seems we are talking about it more and more. more? >> i think there's more of an acceptance of difference and that's a terrific thing. >> it is. rich, thanks. have a great weekend. and for more on these twins tune i i to "nightlili" tonight right here on abc. hopepehat you . outside to ginger. >> robin, you have to see thih nebraska. i'm shopping around for baby clothes. look at these cute -- they're so sweet.
