critics say the fbi set them up. they are serving 25 years in prison. the spokesman says the department's policies are legal. it is not a matter of having a specific set of rules for a particular ethnic group. plots also come about without the u.s. government's involvement. like the 2013 boston marathon bombing and the 2010 attempted car bombing in new york city's time square. observers say it's hard to strike a balance between the government's need to prevent attacks like these and to protect people's basic rights. >> they use different strategies and different tactics to get after various threats. some of them are a little bit over the top. but if you ask them on a daily basis if they were affected they will probably tell you yes. >> the justice department also pointed out a case earlier this month? when it tried to discourage a denver woman from flying to the middle east to fight in the syrian war. 25 cases they focused on were a few of the many cases, what they found was troubling. >> roxana, appreciate it. roxana saberi. >>> death toll in gaza rose

the fbi and department of justice will do a separate civil rights investigation to see if there were, if there was perhaps a racial motive behind them or just plain excessive police force. in my time with the bureau i've been involved in a few dozen civil rights investigations involving excessive force allegation against police. the fbi is very good at this and the department of justice has a section that does nothing but civil rights investigations. we don't know the details, but allegedly there was a struggle between mr. brown and the police officer for control of the police officer's weapon. if that's the case the fact that the police officer used deadly force would have been justified. the fact that mr. brown was shot six times, police are trained to oh when they use deadly force, their weapon, to fire until the situation is no longer in their danger or the public's danger. six rounds for a police officer is not excessive. that could go in just a matter of two or three seconds. again, six rounds, that is not considered excessive violence from the law enforcement perspective. >> we

>> the fbi and other law enforcement is investigating the crew and the passengers. if anything that comes up that points up to some sort of conspiracy on the part of one or more people to do something to the plane and those conspirators were on the plane, that would lend credence to a sabotage or hijacking scenario. if nothing comes up, if records turn up clean, if there's nothing that points to a financial or a political reason for doing this. then perhaps, a multiple system failure, without having the physical structure of the aircraft it's hard to determine which of those theories carries more water. >> it's -- what a mystery. thank you todd for joining us. and for more on what investigators are looking for we are joined by richard marquis, chief of the terrorist and analytical center for the fbi, he was the lead criminal investigator on pan am flight number 103 that exploded over lockerbie , scotland. what are investigators doing, where do you start, if now the wisdom seems to be there may play? >> good evening, antonio, it's good to be back. the first thing tha

now the fib and other law -- fbi and other law enforcement focussed on it. national conference where i made a preparation of the risk of this kind of action, particularly from lone wolves. they are the hardest to deter. and we see them across the spectrum, from animal liberation, to religious extremists to anti-government extremists, and this was a guy that wrote about how he wanted to start a christian army, have a declaration of war, and did it. i think he did it more as a swan song. he laughed and whimmered to make himself relevant and rehabilitate in a most that once embraced but then abandoned him. >> according to the southern poverty law center that tracks the groups. there are over 900 american hate groups, including neo-nazis, white nationalists, neoconfreed rates, skin heads, black separatists. how dangerous are the groups? >> well, they are dangerous, but we have to remember, you know, during the 1920s, one in seven members of the electorate were members of the klu klux klan and african-americans were burnt alive in the streets of st. louis. there

it comes as nearly 100 fbi agents arriving in ferguson to assist the police. john terrett is there. do we have any idea how much closer jurors are to making the announcement? >> you know, officially no. unofficially it seems as it we are moving to a decision to hand down tomorrow's sunday. it's unofficial. let me tell you why. people in ferguson belief the decision is coming tom because it's a church day. people have to go to church on monday. there's a big snow storm coming in on monday, and the feeling is that it will quell any protests, as it runs to thanksgiving. the local school district cancelled classes on monday ands tuesday, giving the grand jury leeway. that means there'll be no school in the area for the whole of next week. it doesn't necessarily mean the decision is coming tomorrow and sunday, but the people thing it is in the morning, early afternoon or the evening. it's unofficial. we'll have to wait and see. nobody knows with certainty, we know that the grand jury - it reported for the last time on friday. it seems as if a decision is imminent. >> president obama stay
