Suspects in Aruba Disappearance to be Held Longer; Fans Gather to Wait for Jackson Verdict
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Missing student mystery. Suspects in Natalee Holloway's disappearance go to court. We're live from Aruba with the new developments.</s>CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm Chris Lawrence, live in Lodi, where federal agents say they have broken up an alleged terrorist cell, right here in northern California.</s>PHILLIPS: He was carrying a bloody chain saw, a knife and a sword. But U.S. border agents let him in. Now he's in jail after a gruesome discovery.</s>TOM STEFANELLI, PIZZA DELIVERY MAN: He pointed the gun to my face, took my right hand, caught his wrist. One shot was fired then.</s>PHILLIPS: Dedicated deliveryman. This pizza guy gets hit by a bullet and still makes his next three deliveries. From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Kyra Phillips. CNN's LIVE FROM starts right now. Immigrant father, ambitious son, specialized training abroad. Polygraphs, arrests and alleged confessions. It's the lowdown in Lodi, not the American dream but allegedly a post-9/11 American nightmare. Feds in California say the sons studied terror at an al Qaeda training camp and both men lied about it. Now both, along with two local men, imams rather, are front and center in the "CNN Security Watch." Chris Lawrence has all the details -- Chris.</s>LAWRENCE: Kyra, right now, federal agents have arrested two U.S. citizens. They say Umer Hayat and his son, Hamid Hayat, lied to federal agents about involvement with terroristic activity. Now, this also follows several raids in this area around Lodi, California, including mosques and two private homes. Now federal court documents show that this investigation began more than a week ago being when Hamid Hayat popped up on a no-fly list coming into the country from a flight from Pakistan. He was allowed to come into the United States, where FBI agents questioned him. They say Hayat at first denied, then admitted, that he had attended a terrorist training camp in Pakistan, which he described as a place where people learn how to kill Americans, receiving instruction on explosives and weapons, including sessions where photos of President Bush were pasted onto targets that the trainees were then instructed to shoot at. Officials also accuse Hamid of potentially targeting hospitals and grocery stores right here in the United States -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: Chris, what more can you tell us about the other two suspects? I believe one of them is the imam at this Lodi mosque, right?</s>LAWRENCE: That's right. Both actually are imams or spiritual leaders of local mosques here in Lodi, California. And law enforcement sources are telling CNN that they were both taken into custody on possible visa violations, after meeting separately with the Hayats over the weekend. But when the family of one of the imams came back here to this house early this morning...</s>PHILLIPS: Got you.</s>LAWRENCE: ... we saw the wife of one of the imams go back into the house, and a family friend said there's just no way he can believe that they could be involved with anything having to do with terrorism.</s>RAMZAN ALI, SUSPECT'S NEIGHBOR: We are very, very confident that they will be cleared because we know Mr. Adil Khan here for a few years, three or four years. And since he's been here, he's very involved with the community, not only Muslim community -- he had a relationship with the temple that we went to, Christian, Jews, and all the neighbors. He had a very good relationship.</s>LAWRENCE: Now, law enforcement sources are telling CNN that they are investigating others in this case. They say there is the possibility of more arrests to come as they investigate the possibility of a terrorist cell right here in northern California -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Chris Lawrence, thanks so much. We're going to talk more about that possible terrorist cell with our Nic Robertson and also Peter Bergen, our analyst, of course, on terror. Well, CNN is committed to providing the most reliable coverage of news that affects your security. Stay tuned to CNN for the latest information day and night. Now a ruling in Aruba, two actually. A judge says both suspects in the disappearance of an Alabama teen can stay locked up awhile longer while investigators look for more evidence. We still don't know what evidence they've got already. And the arrests notwithstanding, investigators still don't know whether Natalee Holloway is a runaway, an accident victim or a victim of something worse. We do know, now, the suspect's names, Nick John and Abraham Jones. CNN's Karl Penhaul joins me on the phone with more on these two individuals. Karl, what can you tell us?</s>KARL PENHAUL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: In morning hearings, Kyra, the judge has said that the two suspects will have to remain an eight further days in custody while investigations continue. And that will also give prosecutors a chance for them to gather further evidence. We've talked to the defense attorneys for Abraham Jones, a 28- year-old, and Nicky John, a 30-year-old, both of them security guards. The defense attorneys say that, so far, evidence gathered by prosecutors is merely circumstantial evidence from witnesses. But none of these witnesses in their statements, according to defense attorneys, ever report having seen the two security guards in the company of Natalee Holloway. We have talked also to family members of Abraham Jones. The mother turned up at the courtroom this morning, although the hearing was not eventually held there. This is what she had to say about her son.</s>CYNTHIA JONES, ABRAHAM JONES' MOTHER: But God is above! God is above! God knows my son is innocent! And I will go down for it! My son is innocent!</s>PENHAUL: Now, Abraham Jones' mother...</s>PHILLIPS: All right, I apologize. Obviously, we're talking to Karl Penhaul via satellite phone, and we lost that connection there. We'll try to get him back on the phone to find out more about these two men now that are being held, locked up actually, while investigators look at the evidence existing, possibly against them. Well, the fate of Michael Jackson is still being figured out in a tightly guarded room in California. Ten counts concerning Jackson's alleged abuse of a 13-year-old cancer patient have so far occupied four men and eight women for a little under 16 hours now. We get an update from CNN's Ted Rowlands in Santa Maria -- Ted.</s>TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Kyra, the wait continues here. Jurors arrived a little early for their deliberations this morning, coming at 8:22. And that's when they started their deliberation process. They had been at it awhile. So everybody outside covering it. The fans and surely, the interested parties are on edge, waiting for that word a verdict may come in. As you mentioned, the jury is made up of eight women and four men. The foreman is a male, who is a retired high school counselor, a person that has worked with kids for years and may provide some insight as to children's behavior and may possibly -- believability. This is a juror that took a lot of notes. He was seated in the corner with another gentleman that took a lot of notes. He's the one with the mustache there, on the -- on the sketch. Now, Michael Jackson -- we've not heard an update as to the latest on him. According to his spokesperson, he has remained at Neverland Ranch throughout this deliberation process. Jesse Jackson has been coming to the courthouse on a daily basis. He is here right now. And he has been giving updates on the Jackson family. But at this point, we have not heard anything new, if you will, about this. Clearly, it is a wait. And as more time goes on, the tension level inside and outside this courthouse increases. Fans have kept a vigil outside the courthouse constantly throughout this deliberation process. There are dozens of fans out here again this morning. And the judge has said that he's going to allow just one hour. So these fans are not taking any chance. They are camped out here. The crowd a little bit thinner than we have seen in days past. But there are majority security concerns with this crowd, especially if the verdict does not go their way. Sheriff deputies will be on patrol in force, when the jury verdict is read. It will be read -- we will be able to hear it live. The judge has allowed an audio-only feed from the courtroom, when this verdict is read, and presumably, these fans will hear it when it is read live -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Ted if, indeed, a verdict is announced today, who exactly contacts Michael Jackson and what happens from there? Is he brought back to the courthouse? Give us the rundown.</s>ROWLANDS: When word of a verdict comes down, the attorneys will be immediately notified and, presumably, the attorneys will then notify Michael Jackson. Thomas Mesereau's team will notify Jackson. He has an hour to get to the court. Clearly, they'll give him some leeway. But the idea is to leave as soon as possible. If he is at Neverland, which a spokesperson says he is, it takes about 40 minutes to drive. And then once everybody is in place, the verdict will be read. If it is not guilty, Jackson walks out of the courthouse a free man. If it is guilty, he most likely will never go back to Neverland, or at least not for some time. Because he will be, it is presumed, remanded into custody. His bail will be revoked, because he would be considered a major flight risk. A lot at stake here when that verdict is read, obviously.</s>PHILLIPS: All right. It's going to be a busy day, I can just feel it. Ted Rowlands, live from Santa Maria, California, thank you so much. Well, if you got shot on the job, your boss would probably understand if you went home for the day, right? Well, this pizza guy decided to keep the pepperonis coming after he took a bullet. He tells his story straight ahead on</s>LIVE FROM. ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Also straight ahead, doctors are calling it a miracle, a medical first, an ovarian transplant resulting in a bouncing baby girl. We'll tell you how they did it when they come back.</s>ANNOUNCER: You're watching LIVE FROM on CNN, the most trusted name in news.
