Police Lost Track Of NY Bomb Suspect, No-Fly List Came Through

The suspect in Saturday's attempted Times Square car bombing reportedly might have eluded police because media trucks appeared in his Bridgeport, Connecticut neighborhood on Monday afternoon. Law enforcement officials trailing Faisal Shadzad lost him for several hours and no one knew where he was until customs officials scrutinizing passenger lists late Monday night found that Shahzad had just boarded a midnight flight from New York to Dubai. It turns out his airline had not yet checked the no-fly list, to which Shahzad's name had been added only hours before. We speak with New York Times reporter Scott Shane.

The Struggle To Maintain Tibetan Culture

In the isolated Tibetan Buddhist community of Zanskar in northern India, the closest schools that teach the Tibetan language and way of life are miles away and the culture itself is dying out.
