All right, breaking news this morning. The FBI has made 3 arrests in a terror probe right here on US soil, being a father and a son in Aurora, Colorado also a man in Queens, New York under arrest, all for making false statements.

Yeah, that's the charge right now. More charges could come. All expected to be in court on Monday. Homeland Security correspondent Jeanne Meserve has been following this story for us from Denver and again, the part we're trying to understand, maybe some more charges could come, because right now not necessarily terror charges that they're facing.

That's right. But this allows the authorities to hold them, question them as the investigation continues. The 3 men in custody, Najibullah Zazi, he is the man here in Denver, his father in Denver, also arrested in New York an acquaintance of theirs, Akmad Afzali, all are charged with lying to the FBI during a terror investigation. In Najibullah Zazi's case, it has to do with a jpeg on his computer which included 10 pages of hand written notes detailing how to build a bomb. According to court documents, he told the FBI he didn't write them, he didn't put them there. But according to the document, FBI forensics indicate that he did write them and did put them there. Also in these documents, we learned that Najibullah Zazi has admitted to authorities that he attended an Al-Qaeda training camp in Pakistan where he got weapons and explosives training, this despite the fact that Zazi and his attorney said just yesterday that they had made no such admission to authorities. As for the father and for the acquaintance in New York, they allegedly lied to authorities about a series of telephone calls in which they alerted Najibullah Zazi to the fact that he was under investigation. No specifics of any alleged plot are laid out in these documents and a justice department official says he still does not have the details on the targeting, the timing or the location of any attacks, but this investigation certainly still continuing here and around the world.

A killer is on the loose in Washington state, a legally insane killer. Police say Phillip Paul, there he is, he escaped Thursday during a mental hospital field trip to a county fair. Police say he took a backpack of clothes to the fair with him on this trip. That suggested that maybe he was planning this escape. The state is now reviewing hospital policy that allows patients to take these types of trips. Paul was committed to this mental hospital after killing a community activist in 1987. He said he believed that community activist was a witch.
