Well talk about that in a bit. A raid in the city of verviers. Belgium Officials Say that was one of several raids. In this raid foiled a major attack. Authorities will not say, they do not confirm any link with the raids in belgium and what happened here last week the attacks in paris. The paris attacks did lead to information that perhaps sped up the timing of the antiterror operation in belgium. I want to get the latest from belgium. Journalist chris burnes joins us. Chris, whats the latest. Reporter john you can see over my shoulder how officials have been reacting to this. They accepted up security measures here. Here is a newspaper that says the jihadists were targeting the police. That is what the police said. They moved in on those men in verviers. They were because of the police wire taps planning to attack police. A newspaper here saying quoting judicial officials that there were terrorists planning to kidnap somebody here and behead them. We hope to get more details at the top of the hour from a press conference from officials. We are seeing in the press a multitude of information about the searches here and searches in berlin. Ten places in berlin with ten arrests there. In paris, ten searches there. The net is cast wide here with the intent to shutdown some of the cells as they try to prevent further attacks. The threat here is twilight palpable palpable. You can see the police step up the Police Commissaries and stations across the country. Jewish schools are closed here today and antwerp. The security measures have been stepped ups as a result of the last 24 hours. John. Chris burns in verviers. On the raid of what experts saul an operational cell. Planning a major attack. That is just one piece of the puzzle. More information about the possibility of terror cells all over europe. This source tells cnn the threat involves up to 20 sleeper cells. A total of 120 to 180 people. The source says agencies believe they are ready to strike france germany and belgium and others. A threat to belgium and possible to the netherlands. The source of information fits with new threats in the reported isis video that just surfaced online. Watch this. A french speaking jihadist saying more terror operations on the way, quote, everywhere in europe and in america. Cnn cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the video. Also breaking news overnight here in paris. Sfn has confirmed that at least 12 people had been detained south of paris, mostly. 12 miles south of paris in connection with last weeks attack here. Men or individuals believed to have provided support to Amedy Coulibaly. The man who attacked that kosher market. 12 people now detained in that situation. I want to bring in isa soares. She is joining us live from the paris bureau with information on france and across the continent. Reporter good morning, john. Europe was arrest on edge. Now it is on high alert. Europeans waking up to the fact there could be up to 20 terror cells active across the continent. A source saying the cells could be up to 120 to 180 people. Ready to strike across the country. Mostly in germany, netherlands, france and belgium. The source telling us that the threat the biggest threat across the countries is within belgium, possibly the netherlands. Who are these people . These are people young men, from europe who have gone to fight jihad. Went to war in isis. We are believed to be 3,000 that left europe in recent years. 500 returning. 250 to the u. K. 200 to belgium and 70 to france. They went to wage war and come back here and fight and create havoc. John what we have seen in paris is on high alert and intensifying their search. Let me bring you breaking news we had in the last hour. The paris prosecutors told cnn that 12 people are being held in custody over reports of what they say are part of coulibaly. They helped coulibaly with logistics. Coulibaly is a terrorist behind the kosher store. Four people died there. 12 people arrested. Now still in custody over some sort of Logistical Support that may have provided coulibaly. We heard according to the newspaper, the woman on the run, hayat boumeddiene. She is believed to be four to five months pregnant. This is according to le monde. If we go to germany, there have been two arrests we heard overnight. One of the people is a french. He is a german fewtunisian man. The other man is a man who was arrested and questioned in berlin for having really led a recruiting network for jihadist. Most of the chechnya. You are starting to see the picture from europe and all of this information and questions and arrests coming as isis releases another video where three french speaking jihadists say they will fight more terror attacks across france. In it they say and ill quote it for you, we are going to come to europe and there will be more operations across europe. Cnn cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the report. It goes to show you how unnerving it is for people waking up in europe here not only because of this video from isis but also as you know from claiming from Aqap Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula saying they were behind the attack in the kosher store. People waking up in a state of high alert and concern of more attacks of the sleeper cells across the continent. John. Isa soares in the paris bureau giving us a sense of the security situation here in france and all across europe. Now just a few minutes ago, right where im standing in front of the offices of Charlie Hebdo behind me. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry came here. He laid a wreath at what is a growing memorial here. The man who guided him through the tour and solemn moment is the mayor. The district of paris. Mr. Mayor, thank you for being with us. Thank you. What was your message with secretary of state john kerry . It was thank you. It is important for us to feel supported. In this time people have been assaulted and some have been murdered. It is very important to have this support from the United States of america. We gathered people of the neighborhood living here on the streets a few days ago. They need to feel home again. For that they have to go beyond this awful attack. Thats why the presence of john kerry has been very important to us. It is such an important location. We see people come here every day with flowers. We see people come here still crying. So much emotion, mr. Mayor. Let me ask you this, as you move forward, do you feel safe in this city . Right now, yes, because police and the army has been summoned. Everywhere in the streets are policemen. We feel quite safe now. We know the threat is still very high and we dont know how long we will be able to withstand this threat. For us its right now its all right. But how will it be in a few weeks or few months when less policemen will be here . Thats what the question that people ask right now. How about this location right now, mr. Mayor . This memorial has been here more than a week. What are the plans for the area . When will the buildings reopen . It depends on justice. Right now, judges are seeking whats permits and going through the building and looking for clues. Yes. Looking for clues. It depends on that. We have to reopen the streets as soon as possible because people are home and they dont feel home again. So it is quite important that we move forward. Now that the terrorists has been killed we must be able to live quite normally in this neighborhood again. Mr. Mayor, thank you so much for being with us. I appreciate it. I know for many people, it feels like it has been a week and a few days. They are focused on other things. People still feels for you. Thank you very much. Merci. All right. That was mayor francois moland. We just saw the secretary of state john kerry come here. He laid a wreath behind me. The secretary is here on a twoday visit. Just before coming here he went to the kosher supermarket where Amedy Coulibaly killed four french jews. The secretary of state also met with Francois Hollande and meeting with the french minister to talk about the major Security Issues facing france and europe and the United States. We do expect some comments from the secretary in a little bit. He will go to the french city hall and make a statement about his visit. He said he has come here to give this nation a big hug. You heard from the mayor that is just what he did. I want to bring in a terrorism expert who knows a great deal of the security situation here in paris and france and all over europe. We have been reporting information that as many as 20 sleeper cells exist across this section of europe with 160 to 180 active members right now. Does that surprise you . No. Thats not surprising me. It is not new for our country. It is not new for westerners. It is not new for authorities. I think maybe we have much more on our ground. Many more. Perhaps even 20 cells . Oh, yes. We can imagine a cell can be between 5 or 15 people. People who want to perform an attack. We are dealing with this for the last ten years. Our police and authorities are doing a great job about this because every year they stop different terrorist attacks in france. Fabrice, the news we received in the last hour the Paris Prosecutors Office confirming to cnn that 12 people have been detained in connection with the attacks here in paris. Specifically believed to be associated of Amedy Coulibaly. Providing some Logistical Support. What do you believe these individuals have done . We have to wait. We have to wait for the rest of the investigation. We speak about logistics. We speak about the place to be when preparing the attack or providing cars or equipment like bullet proof jackets and radio and talkies. Ammunition food whatever. And we know that the investigators here have been in coulibalys apartment. How do you think they discovered or how do you think they traced these an comeccompliceaccomplices . I think dna. It is not new. Dna. Maybe also documents. With the dna, maybe they cross the information and that led to a specific target on some people. They did some following and taping for sure just to understand the network. Quickly understand the network and strike and arrest the guys where they live. 12 around paris. Do you think there will be more arrests and detentions to come specifically with these cases . Yes, i think now we are on. We cannot now avoid that possibility because we have to go quickly. Those guys are already at war. We are not ready to face spreading out in europe. For sure we will have more information and more arrests. More people jailed. Maybe we will have a better understanding of what is going on. It feels very much like this city and cities across europe are the frontlines for terror. Fabrice, thank you. Thanks. A lot going on here christine. Still with the mourning period with the secretary of state as these developments happen in the investigations here across europe. Christine. Remarkable developments. John thanks. We are following the latest on the paris attacks and Terror Threat across europe all morning long. First, new information about the man the fbi says was planning a capital hill attack.

They will send personnel to provide security and other support at training sites. In court later today, the ohio gunman arrested by the fbi on thursday for plotting a violent attack on the u. S. Cap capitol. We know more about 20yearold Christopher Cornell and what brought him to the attention of the authorities. Alexandra field has more from cincinnati. Reporter he was planning to shoot victims as they fled from the buildings. It was known in the community. Local Authorities Say he was the lone demonstrator at the 9 11 event in 2013. He caused a disturbance, but wasnt arrested at the time. He was holding a sign that said 9 11 is an inside job. Today, he is facing serious charges. Accused of attempting to kill a u. S. Government officer. He will appear in court later today for a hearing. His parents are coming to his defense saying their 20yearold son raised here in cincinnati did not have the ability or resources to pull off the attack that he is accused of. Instead, they believe their son was coerced. This has never been out of cincinnati. I believe that the socalled snitch filled his head with a lot of stuff. Reporter investigators had been following cornell for months ever since an informant tipped them off. They did not take action until he walked out of the gun store with 600 rounds of ammunition and guns. Because officials were tracking cornells moves, they say lawmakers were never in danger. Following his detention hearing today, he will be back in court next week. Christine. Alexandra field in cincinnati for us. Thanks. New help this morning in the fight against boko haram. Just who is stepping up to stop the terrorists from gaining more ground . We are live after the break. There is new help coming from the quite against the terror group boko haram. That help is not coming to nigeria where boko haram is trying to carve out an islamic state. The nation of chad will send troops to cameroon trying to fend off incursions from nigeria. The Nigerian Military is on its own and not doing well against insurgent insurgents. We have diana magnay with the latest for us. Reporter hi christine. The fact that chad is sending troops to cameroon is a help. But the Multinational Task force, all of the countries acting together to try to combat boko haram. They are embedded on the borders which all those countries share. They had a base at bagah where the attack happened in january. The International Forces the cameroon and chad forces pulled out of the base back in december. We just heard from the u. N. Special representative for west africa a plea to all of those regional countries to set their differences aside and Work Together to help the nigerians against boko haram. You have the u. S. Secretary of state in europe at the moment. He is talking with the british and other partners, were hearing how they can better better assist nigeria. From the briefing yesterday, we heard nigeria hasnt come up with any specific requests from the international community. That the u. S. Is doing what it can in terms of the support that it does provide nigeria to date. It is clearly a difficult situation if a sovereign countries is not holding out the begging bowl. The president has last visited the borneo state to express his condolences of the displaced people from the attack. Many people will see this as a political move. This is his election campaign. Certainly the mood and feeling is that at least he has gone up there now even if he should have gone up there before. Christine. Diana magnay in johannesburg. Thank you. Terror group across europe.

Live in paris this morning. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and all around the world. Breaking news this morning, every hour we learn more. New information about the Terror Threat spanning at least four european countries. A source tells cnn the threat involves as many as 20 sleeper cells. Police in belgium shattered one in verviers. Authorities captured a suspect. He is now in custody. Belgium Officials Say this raid you are looking at is just one of several across the country. It foiled what they called a major imminent terror attack. As of now, officials in belgium say there is not any apparent link with this cell here and attacks that happened here behind me in paris. The source says the paris attacks perhaps did lead to information that sped up the timing of the belgium operation. I want to get more on this. Lets go to verviers the city where the raid took place and im joined by journalist chris burns. Chris, whats the latest. Reporter john im in brussels in front of the federal police headquarters. This newspaper is among those saying that the jihadists were targeting the police. They planned to attack some kind of police establishment. You can see very high security here. We have two commandos with sub machine guns out in front here. That is part of the threat level raised to three out of four here. They have increased Police Security at not only police stations but other institutions and buildings and what is quite more disturbing is a report this morning, yet to be confirmed. Newspaper quoting jewudicial officials that one of the attacks is aimed at a high profile individual here in belgium. The attackers planned to behead that person. We cannot confirm that. That is what we are seeing quoting officials from a newspaper here. As you were talking about, the net being cast very wide. Reports as many as seven countries involved in searches in the past 24 hours. Including europe. Also in yemen. We saw round ups in paris. Ten people arrested in paris overnight. In berlin ten people arrested. Over there, reports say there is a connection to dagestan and chechens over there linked to syria. These are people coming back from syria fighting for isis and taking the fight here on european soil. This is something that officials are trying to prevent. They have increased their searches. We hope to find more at the top of the hour. Next hour, a press conference by the Prosecutors Office. John. Chris burns in brussels. We await that information. Chris just reported there that there are reports that police were targets there. A threat here as well. Officials say police could be targeted. In this country, three officers were killed last week. More information on the possibility of terror cells. As many as 20 threatening europe. A source tells cnn the threat involves 20 sleeper cells. Between 120 to 180 people in total. Agencies believe these groups are ready to strike in france germany, belgium, perhaps the netherlands. New information pointed to an imminent threat to belgium. That is what we heard from belgium officials overnight. Possibly an imminent threat in the netherlands as well. This information fits with new threats and report ed isis video which surfaced online. French speaking jihadists go on to threaten more terror operations everywhere in europe and also in america. Cnn cannot confirm the authenticity of the video. There has been more breaking news here in france just over the last hour. Cnn confirmed 12 people have been detained. Mostly south of paris. 12 miles in connection with the attacks here. Some providing Logistical Support to Amedy Coulibaly. We are getting information now that many french media web sites have been down. Perhaps have been hacked. The battle against terror on the streets and online as well. I want to bring in isa soares. She is at our paris bureau. A wide investigation at this point, isa. Reporter good morning, john. Europeans waking up to the fact there could be as many as 20 sleeper cells active within europe. They are already on edge and now high alert. Western intelligence source telling cnn there could be 20 sleeper cells active within the continent. Between 120 and 180 people. They are ready to strike from germany to the netherlands, belgium and indeed france. The source saying the imminent threat is in belgium. Men have gone to syria and fight for isis and come back and preparing for any sort of attack across the continent. We heard in the last 12 hours, there are believed to be 3,000 europeans who have left to go to syria and fight there and return. 500 reportedly we have been told have returned. 250 going to the u. K. 200 to belgium. 70 to france. In light of this and everything that has happened in belgium and indeed in paris, authorities chasing any lead possible and chasing links to any of the terror cells. Let me break down what we know in paris in the last few hours. Paris prosecutor telling cnn that 12 people have been detained and are still in custody. They are linked and possibly they say have some sort of Logistical Support to coulibaly. Coulibaly was the terrorist that killed four people at the kosher store. This is what we know. The 12 people were detained across four parts of paris. Mostly the suburbs of paris. We have learned from le monde, hayat boumeddiene, the partner of coulibaly on the run and believed to be in syria, she is believed to be between four to five months pregnant. This is according to le monde. And just breaking here on cnn, we have basically heard that several web sites are actually down. Cnn hand cons confirmed this. Basically web sites for news and also investigative web sites. They crashed and they obviously appear to create a hacking attempt. We are trying to chase that line. This comes off the back of the fact that french Cyber Defense security saying up to 19,000 Cyber Attacks happened in france last week. This is france. Lets turn our attention to germany. Several developments overnight. We have heard that two arrests taking place in germany. 11 raids happening across several apartments in germany. Several people having links to syria. One believed to have been in syria in may and coming back here. No reports of whether there was an attack that was imminent. Authorities taking this seriously. One of those men is alleged to have been involved in a recruitment ring with chechen jihadists. All of this happening, john as we report new isis video published. Three french speaking jihadists saying they will wage more war on france. It says we are going to come to europe and there will be more operations across europe. Cnn cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the video. It is unnerving giving what we have seen in brussels and now paris and berlin. Are you starting to get a picture of the connectivity of the money and weapons, john. Isa soares for news paris. An enormous amount of information and enormous amount of antiterror activity going on not just france but other countries. All of this happening as this country is in mourning. The u. S. Secretary of state john kerry is in paris visiting with the French Foreign minister. They will discuss with the fight against terror. Moments ago, the secretary of state was here behind me. He laid a wreath at the ongoing growing memorial for Charlie Hebdo the satirical magazine where people were killed inside and outside. You can see this happening. The secretary did not take questions. We tried to ask him about his visit here. He will speak in just a little bit which we will take live when that happens. The secretary also visited the kosher market where four french jews were killed. This solemn moment you are seeing hereoe here occurring across europe with the terror raids in belgium. Im joined now by fabrice. He is a terror expert here in france. We have been reporting all morning, an intelligence source tells cnn as many as 20 terror cells across france and belgium with as many as 150 people involved. Does that number seem realistic to snu. That number does seem realistic. It is not a surprise, really. All jihadists are coming back from conflict areas. They spent months over there killing people and beheading people. Children women. Those guys only know violence and terror. They are ready to fight. They want to fight our democracy. They want to fight questions. They want to fight everything they fear against islam. Which is not islam. You know what i mean. We will face more and more spreading out like this in europe. So i think we will be much more networks in the coming months in europe. Fabrice, we are just getting information in the last several minutes this all kinds of french media web sites are down. Apparently some kind of hacking is going on. This morning, there have been Cyber Attacks, as many as thousands of them over the last several days. We spoken about this. You say in this country they have never seen this kind of cyber activity before. Thats true. Its new for us now. I think we have to understand now that everything in the world ongoing, we are all about information and communication. This is a new challenge we have to face. To be much more ready to face this new ongoing war. One more time it is a race against the clock. Our opposition now has to take the measures to strike those guys at the source. That is the battle online. Lets get back to the battle on the streets. The news from the Prosecutors Office they detained 12 people involved or connected to the attacks if ss in paris. 12 people believed to have connections with Amedy Coulibaly. The man behind the kosher supermarket attacks. What do you believe these individuals did to help . When we speak about the network, we think about home bases. Thought guys maybe provided logistics like cars or equipment or like weapons or bulletproof jackets and telephones and explosives. Maybe lets say information about the targets. Maybe just one view of potential targets. It is not just about weapons to facilitate their job. To add them to be ready. A number of 10 or 12 is significant for me and makes sense. Is it a lot . No it is average necessary to be a cell to be effective. That number seems like a cell to you. Fabrice, thank you. We will talk to you in a bit. A lot going on here this morning in paris and, frankly, christine, across europe. We are monitoring the details as the french publications are down. You have that hack attack angle. The Group Anonymous will go after islamic web sites. You have other hackers who are going after french media web sites. We will monitor that. Thank you, john. Happening in hours, the terror suspect accused of plotting an attack on capitol hill heading to court. New information we are learning about the suspect and case against Christopher Cornell. Plus breaking news. U. S. Troops now set to train Syrian Rebels to fight isis. Details next. Breaking news overnight. Pentagon sending 400 troops to train rebels in the fight against isis. Beginning some time this spring they will train from saudi arabia turkey and qatar. In addition to trainers they will send military personnel to provide security and other support at the training sites. In court later today, the ohio gunman arrested by the fbi on thursday for plotting a violent attack on the u. S. Capitol. We know more this morning about 20yearold Christopher Cornell. What brought him to the attention of the authorities and what his parents are saying in his defense. Cnns alexandra field is in cincinnati with the latest. Reporter christine, Christopher Cornell, the plan accused in the plot to bomb the capitol and shoot victims. His name is known across the country, but known in the community. Local authorities are telling us he was the lone demonstrator and only protester in 2011. He was apparently holding a sign that said 9 11 is an inside job. Today, he is facing serious charges. Accused of attempting to kill a u. S. Government officer. He will appear in court for a hearing later today. His parents are saying their 20yearold son raised here in cincinnati did not have the capability or resources to pull off the kind of attack that he is accused of. They believe their son was coerced. Chris has never been out of cincinnati. I believe he was coerced into this stuff. I believe that this socalled snitch filled his head with a lot of stuff. Reporter investigators had been following cornell for months ever since an informant tipped them off to a twitter activity discussing jihad. They did not take action until he walked out of the gun store after buying two assault rifles and 600 rounds of ammunition. Because officials were tracking cornells moves, they say that lawmakers were never in imminent danger. Following the detention hearing he will be back in court next week. Thank you. Happening now, divers examining the wreckage of airasia flight 8501 at the bottom of the java sea. Families of those on board desperate for the return of their loved ones bodies.

Mattress discounters now to the latest in the search for airasia flight 8501. Right now, divers are examining the planes fuselage which was discovered wednesday at the bottom of the java sea. Most of the crew and passengers are still inside the fuselage. We have david molko with more from jakarta. Reporter a delicate operation, christine. Divers in the water for the second day. Officials hoping they will have better luck than thursday. Under water visibility limiting them from getting close to the fuselage. Not a lot of communication coming from the search zone this afternoon. That could be a good sign. That could mean divers are able to get close or get inside. Christine, we have been talking about it for the past two and a half weeks here. The weather deciding the pace of the search. In some sense, it is extraordinary that searchers have been able to find what they have in last 20 days. Two black boxes. The tail section of the plane. Now the fuselage. We know from earlier last week when divers were down with the tail trying to rig up ropes and straps and slings to raise it to the surface, they described conditions down there. They said they were fluttering like flags hanging on to the ropes. I spoke to an official to see if the section is more complicated. They say it is pretty straight forward as long as conditions cooperate. If the under water currents cooperate and if conditions on the surface are good, it could be a days work to rig it up with the straps and slings and giant air bags. Christine, this is a big if. It is still monsoon season. Conditions can change quickly. This may not happen very fast. For familyies who are still waiting, that is not what they want to hear. David molko in jakarta, thank you.

At this point, authorities do not say that there is any connection between the raids in belgium or any connection with the raids in belgium or attacks here in paris last week.
