Kenyan massacre
As CBS News correspondent Debora Patta arrived in the eastern Kenyan town of Garissa today, she passed makeshift tents that had been set up at the local airport.

They tell a terrifying story.

Two New York City women, Noelle Velentzas and Asia Siddiqui, are in federal custody, accused of plotting a terrorist attack.
