CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Straight ahead on DAYBREAK, a car bomb mars a holy day outside of an Iraqi mosque.
Also, efforts to stop illegal immigration shift north. We'll have an update on "Defending America."

Plus, so many tsunami survivors are trying to cope in South Asia. What's the best way to help the youngest victims? We have a report from India straight ahead.

It is Friday, January 21.

This is DAYBREAK.

And good morning to you.

From the Time Warner Center in New York, I'm Carol Costello, along with Chad Myers.

Now in the news, 14 Iraqis killed, 42 wounded three hours ago by a car bomb explosion. The blast was outside of a Shiite mosque four miles south of Baghdad. Many of the casualties were worshipers.

One American soldier was killed and another wounded this morning, as well. They were raiding a bomb making facility in Adularia, 60 miles north of Baghdad. One suspected insurgent was killed, 12 were detained during the raid on eight separate locations.

Police in Tyler, Texas looking for a 19-year-old woman believed to be abducted from the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store where she worked. Megan Holden and her suspected kidnapper are seen on this surveillance tape. This was recorded on Wednesday night. We're going to have a live report for you later this hour to get more details on this story.

And the FBI wants to question 10 more people about a possible terror plot against Boston. That's in addition to four Chinese nationals already being sought. Authorities still won't give details about the threat.

To the forecast center and Chad -- good morning.

CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Good morning, Carol.

(WEATHER REPORT)

MYERS: This snow comes into New York City.

Carol, I know you have company coming to New York City.

COSTELLO: I do.

MYERS: Eight to 10 inches of snow for them to play in.

COSTELLO: My company may be here a lot longer than expected then.

MYERS: Philadelphia gets snow, too; Atlantic City; the Amboys, very heavy snow this weekend.

COSTELLO: Darn. Well, at least it's on the weekend.

MYERS: Yes, I guess.

COSTELLO: We'll look at the glass half full this morning.

MYERS: I'd rather have it on Monday so that they would cancel work.

COSTELLO: Yes, exactly.

Thank you, Chad.

MYERS: All right.

COSTELLO: A night of celebration followed inauguration day's pomp and circumstance. President and Mrs. Bush made the rounds to as many as 10 balls in his honor. Inaugural week ends with this morning's national prayer service, but what comes next?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I'm looking forward to working as hard as I possibly can for the next four years. I'm going to put my heart and soul into seeing to it that America can be the most hopeful place for every single citizen. And I'm going to work as hard as I can to spread freedom around the world so our children and our grandchildren can grow up in peace.

We've got a fabulous country. It's a fantastic land full of great people and it is such an honor to be the president of the United States of America.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COSTELLO: The president began his second term in office looking forward, as you heard. In his inaugural address, there was no specific mention of Iraq, Afghanistan or September 11. Instead, he used his speech to lay out a lofty vision of democracy spreading worldwide.

Here's a wrap-up from CNN's senior White House correspondent John King. (BEGIN VIDEO TAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The constitution of the United States.

BUSH: The constitution of the United States.

JOHN KING, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Left hand on the family bible...

BUSH: So help me god.

KING: ... the second inaugural address shaped by the defining day of the first term, September 11, a day of fire, the president called it.

BUSH: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands.

KING: The self-described war president said his second term mission will be using American power and influence to end tyranny and promote democracy.

BUSH: It is the honorable achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's security and the calling of our time.

KING: No specific mention of Iraq, where critics suggest Mr. Bush's zeal for promoting democracy is failing its first big test. But without singling out any one government, Mr. Bush promised an aggressive second term approach that could, if he follows through, strain relations with governments with whom critics say Mr. Bush has been far too cozy -- Russia, China and Saudi Arabia among them.

BUSH: The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know, to serve your people, you must learn to trust them.

KING: Here at home, Mr. Bush said a freedom agenda would give individuals more power and government less, and promised as he pushed controversial ideas like revamping Social Security to reach across party lines.

BUSH: We have known divisions which must be healed to move forward in great purposes and I will strive in good faith to heal them.

KING: Chief Justice William Rehnquist administered the oath. But his frail condition amid a battle with cancer was a reminder a Supreme Court nomination could soon test any hope of bipartisanship. And even as they joined the ceremonies, Democrats fired a symbolic early warning shot, blocking confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state until next week.

Protests along the parade route were another reminder that Mr. Bush begins his second term as he did the first -- a polarizing figure. The security was unprecedented and only at the very end did the president and first lady leave the limousine to enjoy a bit of the parade route on foot, before joining family members, the vice president and others in the VIP reviewing stand to savor the moment.

(on camera): Though there was no direct mention of Iraq, the president was clearly mindful of wavering support for the war here at home. Speaking of accepting obligations that are "difficult to fulfill and would be dishonorable to abandon."

John King, CNN, the White House.

(END VIDEO TAPE)

COSTELLO: And more on those protesters John mentioned. There were an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 of them. Their jeering anti-war slogans competed with the pomp of the inaugural parade. Some yelled to impeach President Bush. Other demonstrators carried coffin-like cardboard boxes to symbolize the deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq. Police say at least 10 people were arrested during the inaugural ceremonies.

In one area of D.C., protesters threw snowballs. You see that there? That's Dick Cheney's limousine. And as you can see, one of the snowballs hit his limo. It was aimed at police, actually, who were trying to disperse a crowd.

President Bush has painted a picture of what he wants his second term to be about. But what do you think? A CNN/"USA Today"/Gallup poll taken after his inaugural address indicates 43 percent of Americans are more hopeful, a quarter are less hopeful, 28 percent say there is no difference.

And that brings us to our DAYBREAK E-Mail Question of the Morning. What do you think should be the top priority of the Bush administration? We want to hear from you this morning, so e-mail us at daybreak@cnn.com. That's daybreak@cnn.com.

Vice President Cheney says the number one trouble spot around the world is Iran. He cites that country's nuclear program, but he says bringing the troops home from Iraq is also a high priority.

Cheney made his comments in an interview with radio host Don Imus, just hours before being sworn in.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "IMUS IN THE MORNING")

DICK CHENEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: At some point, if the Iranians don't live up to their commitments, the next step would be to take it to the U.N. Security Council and seek the imposition of international sanctions to force them to live up to the commitments and obligations they've signed up to under the Non- Proliferation Treaty. And it's, but it is, you know, when you look around the world at potential trouble spots, Iran's right at the top of the list.

Our goal now is to get the Iraqis in the business of self- governance. And we'll do that with an election here in about 10 days. And then also get them in the business where they can defend themselves. When we've done that, our mission is complete and we're going to bring our boys home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COSTELLO: Back to Iran.

Government officials there have repeatedly said its nuclear program is aimed at producing energy and not weapons.

Near Baghdad, the holiday marking the end of the holy pilgrimage of Hajj has been marred by a car bombing. Iraqi police say at least a dozen people have been killed. It happened right outside of a Shiite mosque.

CNN's Jeff Koinange live in Baghdad with the latest violence.

JEFF KOINANGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol.

And that's right, the carnage continues across the country. The latest, a car bomb attack just as worshipers were leaving special Friday prayers on this holiday, the holiday of Eid. We understand the car bomb went off, killing up to 14 people, and we understand 42 people have been wounded in that incident.

And then in the town of Hit, that's about 70 kilometers west of Ramadi in the Sunni Triangle, 15 gunmen stormed a police station with rocket propelled grenades and machine guns. They chased everybody out of the police station then proceeded to ransack the station, stealing everything from flak jackets to machine guns to countless rounds of ammunition. Then before leaving they just set the police station -- they exploded the police station.

So, again, Carol, barely a day after the second inauguration of George W. Bush and barely nine days to go before the crucial January 30th elections, carnage. And the violence continues across this troubled land -- Carol.

COSTELLO: Jeff Koinange live in Baghdad this morning.

Thank you.

Caught on tape -- a young woman's frightening abduction in Texas. Take a look at this video. Still no word on this woman's whereabouts. You see her running across the parking lot and someone following her. It's been two days since this happened. We'll have a live report for you just ahead.

And a lasting image of the tsunami disaster are the faces of children made orphans. We'll explore their precarious future.

And many inauguration eyes were on Twinkle and Turquoise. Anderson Cooper has the dish on the Bush twins in 35 minutes.

But first, here's a look at what else is making news this Friday morning.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK) (STOCK MARKET REPORT)

COSTELLO: Your news, money, weather and sports.

It's 5:13 Eastern.

Here's what's all new this morning.

Palestinian police took up positions at the northern Gaza Strip as part of a cooperative security deal with Israel. As many as 3,000 Palestinian forces are deploying to prevent rocket attacks against Israel communities.

A Web site has posted a message said to be from terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It urges followers to be patient with their battle in Iraq. CNN cannot confirm that the voice is that of al-Zarqawi's, but the Web site has posted his messages in the past.

In money news, a federal judge has ruled that 82-year-old Stan Lee, the co-creator of "Spider Man," is entitled to 10 percent of the profits from movie and TV deals. The two "Spider Man" movies grossed more than $1.5 billion.

In culture, the all star rendition of the Eric Clapton song "Tears In Heaven" is underway, with proceeds earmarked for tsunami relief. Elton John recorded his part already with singer Andre Bocelli scheduled to lend his voice today. Other voices include Rod Stewart, Ozzie Osbourne and Robert Downey, Jr.

In sports, a tragedy. Eastern Connecticut University basketball player Antwoine Key died after collapsing on the court during a game last night. The cause of his death is believed to be cardiac arrest. Key was 22 years old. The game was postponed.

To the forecast center now and Chad.

MYERS: Good morning, Carol.

(WEATHER REPORT)

COSTELLO: Those are the latest headlines for you this morning.

Tyler, Texas police looking for a missing woman this morning. We'll give you a live update on a kidnapping from a Wal-Mart parking lot. It's all caught on tape.

Also, we'll take you to a very cold frontier where one man has made it his mission to protect and serve. A report just ahead on how vulnerable our neighbors to the north could be to terrorists.

You are watching DAYBREAK for Friday, January 21.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COSTELLO: News across America this morning. Police in Florida are looking for an 11-year-old boy. They believe he was abducted by a convict sex offender. Adam Kirkirt was last seen Tuesday, when he was picked up from his elementary school by 42-year-old Adam Fretz. Fretz, who is a registered sex offender, is friends with the boy's father and often picked him up from school.

Lisa Montgomery, accused of killing a pregnant woman and taking her unborn baby from her womb, has entered a not guilty plea. Her trial has been scheduled for the week of March 14.

And hundreds of designs submitted for a Flight 93 memorial have been put on display by the National Park Service in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. More than 40 people were killed on September 11, 2001 when United Flight 93, hijacked by terrorists, crashed in a field outside of Shanksville.

Police in Tyler, Texas are looking for Wal-Mart cashier Megan Holden. She's been missing since Wednesday night, when she may have been abducted. The 19-year-old woman and a man suspected of kidnapping her are seen in this store surveillance tape. You can see Holden is running in the Wal-Mart parking lot. She's being chased by the suspect. He catches her and then he shoves her into her own truck and then you can see they just speed away.

More on this story now from reporter Julie Tam of our affiliate KLTV in Tyler, Texas -- good morning, Julie.

JULIE TAM, KLTV REPORTER: Good morning, Carol.

COSTELLO: Tell us what happened, what police think happened.

TAM: Well, what they think happened, you know, according to the surveillance video inside and outside the store is, first, the suspect was loitering around, you know, just walking around going into the bathroom and coming back out, getting something from McDonald's, you know, obviously completely not afraid of these surveillance cameras that are everywhere.

And, of course, you know, there's no suspicion right now on whether or not this person knew Megan and was watching her or what, you know, or if he was just looking for, you know, just any target. And, of course, you know, follows her out of the store.

The family has had a chance to watch the video and does not recognize this man, you know, perhaps being an ex-boyfriend or anyone like that. So it's really like they've pretty much exhausted their leads, and, in fact, I just talked to them a couple of hours ago and the last two detectives were getting ready to wrap it up and go home and get some sleep and, you know, perhaps begin again today, this morning.

COSTELLO: When we looked at that surveillance tape, we saw this suspect chasing her.

Was there any sign of a weapon? TAM: You know, that they do not know, but he was carrying a duffel bag and they don't know what's inside that bag. And, you know, that was obviously strange, for him to be carrying a duffel bag standing around Wal-Mart, you know, and not making any purchases. And, you know, just to have a man having a duffel bag, you know, what men carry duffel bags into Wal-Mart. And, you know, so that was definitely suspicious.

But, no, no signs of any weapons, but that's obviously unknown.

COSTELLO: The vehicle itself, it was her pickup truck, right?

TAM: Right.

COSTELLO: And describe it for us.

TAM: Well, it was a 2002 red Ford F150 sport truck and I actually have a license plate number. It's 6ZTZ84.

COSTELLO: And there is no sign of it? Police have gotten no calls from anyone?

TAM: No, not that they've been telling us. In fact, the East Texas Medical Center, as well as the DPS, Department of Public Safety, offices have sent up their helicopters in the area and they have turned up no leads in the surrounding area this afternoon.

COSTELLO: Oh, very frightening. So if anyone out there knows anyone, please call the police in Tyler, Texas.

Julie Tam of KLTV in Tyler, Texas, thank you for that report.

Police have combed that Wal-Mart parking lot for clues, as you might expect. Police helicopters being used in the search for Megan Holden, as you heard Julie Tam just say. We'll have more information, hopefully, for you in the next half hour of DAYBREAK.

Here's what's all new in the next half hour.

Fixing Social Security when many say it's not broken, at least not yet. No one issue could be as touchy in a second Bush term. More on that in five minutes.

And a reminder, our E-Mail Question of the Morning -- what do you think should be the top priority of the Bush administration? E-mail us at daybreak@cnn.com. That's daybreak@cnn.com.

And this is DAYBREAK for Friday, January 21st.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COSTELLO: Good morning.

Welcome to the second half hour of DAYBREAK.

From the Time Warner Center in New York, I'm Carol Costello, along with Chad Myers.

Now in the news, at least 14 people are dead following a car bomb attack at a Shiite mosque south of Baghdad. Iraqi police say another 42 people were injured in that attack. The bombing comes on the Muslim holiday that celebrates the traditional end of the Hajj pilgrimage.

And the Hajj does end today with the traditional stoning of Satan in Mecca. Two hundred fifty-one people were killed last year in the final day of this ritual. Saudi Arabia has stepped up security to prevent a repeat of that disaster.

Palestinian security forces are moving into position in the northern Gaza Strip. They're being deployed in an effort to stop attacks on Israeli targets. Israel had threatened a military offensive if Palestinian leaders took no action.

And the Senate vote on the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be secretary of state is on hold until Wednesday. Democratic senators will get nine hours on Tuesday to debate the nomination.

To the forecast center now and Chad -- good morning.

MYERS: Good morning, Carol.

So it's really like they've pretty much exhausted their leads, and, in fact, I just talked to them a couple of hours ago and the last two detectives were getting ready to wrap it up and go home and get some sleep and, you know, perhaps begin again today, this morning.

COSTELLO: When we looked at that surveillance tape, we saw this suspect chasing her.

Was there any sign of a weapon? TAM: You know, that they do not know, but he was carrying a duffel bag and they don't know what's inside that bag. And, you know, that was obviously strange, for him to be carrying a duffel bag standing around Wal-Mart, you know, and not making any purchases. And, you know, just to have a man having a duffel bag, you know, what men carry duffel bags into Wal-Mart. And, you know, so that was definitely suspicious.

But, no, no signs of any weapons, but that's obviously unknown.

COSTELLO: The vehicle itself, it was her pickup truck, right?

TAM: Right.

COSTELLO: And describe it for us.

TAM: Well, it was a 2002 red Ford F150 sport truck and I actually have a license plate number. It's 6ZTZ84.

COSTELLO: And there is no sign of it? Police have gotten no calls from anyone?

TAM: No, not that they've been telling us. In fact, the East Texas Medical Center, as well as the DPS, Department of Public Safety, offices have sent up their helicopters in the area and they have turned up no leads in the surrounding area this afternoon.

COSTELLO: Oh, very frightening. So if anyone out there knows anyone, please call the police in Tyler, Texas.

Julie Tam of KLTV in Tyler, Texas, thank you for that report.

Police have combed that Wal-Mart parking lot for clues, as you might expect. Police helicopters being used in the search for Megan Holden, as you heard Julie Tam just say. We'll have more information, hopefully, for you in the next half hour of DAYBREAK.

Here's what's all new in the next half hour.

Fixing Social Security when many say it's not broken, at least not yet. No one issue could be as touchy in a second Bush term. More on that in five minutes.

And a reminder, our E-Mail Question of the Morning -- what do you think should be the top priority of the Bush administration? E-mail us at daybreak@cnn.com. That's daybreak@cnn.com.

And this is DAYBREAK for Friday, January 21st.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

COSTELLO: Good morning.

Welcome to the second half hour of DAYBREAK.

From the Time Warner Center in New York, I'm Carol Costello, along with Chad Myers.

Now in the news, at least 14 people are dead following a car bomb attack at a Shiite mosque south of Baghdad. Iraqi police say another 42 people were injured in that attack. The bombing comes on the Muslim holiday that celebrates the traditional end of the Hajj pilgrimage.

And the Hajj does end today with the traditional stoning of Satan in Mecca. Two hundred fifty-one people were killed last year in the final day of this ritual. Saudi Arabia has stepped up security to prevent a repeat of that disaster.

Palestinian security forces are moving into position in the northern Gaza Strip. They're being deployed in an effort to stop attacks on Israeli targets. Israel had threatened a military offensive if Palestinian leaders took no action.

And the Senate vote on the nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be secretary of state is on hold until Wednesday. Democratic senators will get nine hours on Tuesday to debate the nomination.

To the forecast center now and Chad -- good morning.

MYERS: Good morning, Carol.
