What we saw after bin laden was killed and the outpouring of love and unity that we saw in the United States. I remember going to the white house that night and covering it and the cheering the organic spontaneous appearance of these crowds and the cheering was quite something to behold. I beheld it again in much larger numbers in paris, france on sunday. I now turn you over to wolf blitzer. Hes in the situation room. Happening now, isis cyberattack. Hackers seize the u. S. Militarys Central Command twitter account, warning troops that isis is coming and releasing names of personnel. The new chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Standing by to join us live in his first tv interview. Sleeper cells. New fears they will be activated in the United States and sources say they have already been awakened in france reeling from bloody terror attacks. Radical girlfriend. She is now believed to have escaped to isis territory as we learn new details about her background and romance with one of the gunmen. And deadly roommates. New information that another of the paris terrorists may have lived with the socalled underwear bomber shortly before that failed attack on a u. S. Bound airliner. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Lets get right to the breaking news. Cyberattackers hitting the u. S. Militarys Central Command, hijacking its twitter account and posting a chilling message to u. S. Troops. It reads, and im quoting now, american soldiers we are coming watch your back isis. The cyberattack on the command follows the reissuing of an earlier isis threat urging followers to Kill Police Officers soldiers and civilians, their words. It adds to fears that sleeper cells are ready to carry out those orders. Sources say cells already have been activated in france. Now on high alert after the slaughter of 17 people by jihadi terrorists. Three gunmen in those attacks were killed a female suspect is believed to have escaped to syria. France has deployed 10,000 soldiers who will join thousands of police guarding socalled vulnerable areas, including hundreds of Jewish Schools and institutions across france. The new House Armed Services Committee Chairman is standing by live along with our correspondents our analysts and our guests. But lets go to the pentagon first. Our correspondent Barbara Starr is getting new information. Barbara, what are you learning . Reporter not entirely clear yet who conducted the cyberattack. The claim is by a group called the cybercaliphate and they hacked into the Central Commands twitter account and also their youtube account. Central command of course being the part of the military thats overseeing the air campaign in iraq and syria right now. Lets go back to one of the threatening messages against u. S. Troops that the group posted. I want to quote from it a little more extensively. It says american soldiers we are coming watch your back we know everything about you, your wives, your children. Thats just one of the messages that they posted. They posted also a number of documents. Now, the initial read by the pentagon is that none of the documents are classified and they have seen some of these messages before. Thankfully no proven attacks against u. S. Troops so how worried are they . Well the fbi at this hour is coordinating with the military trying to figure out whos responsible for the hacking. You know the military is always warning the troops nowadays be careful about what you post on social media, dont give away personal information, dont give away information about your family. This may prove to be something other than an isis attack but it doesnt lessen the concern that isis is really on a social media war against the u. S. Military. Wolf . Did they hack the Central Commands youtube account as well . Reporter there are reports they did hack the Central Commands youtube account. That has now been taken down. But i think the pentagon would tell you that these accounts twitter, youtube, their social media accounts have a certain level of protection but as we all know, those are not all that difficult to hack into those types of accounts. The pentagon is insistent that no classified information was divulged and isis and other groups have not, they insist cannot get into classified military systems. Although one item that was tweeted had the top of it marked for official use only and included names and addresses of u. S. Military officers. Thats worrisome. Reporter its terribly worr worrisome because its the type of information a junior person might use on their twitter account. Anything that goes out into the cyberworld that can identify military personnel is definitelyworrisome. Still, somebody got into the Central Commands twitter and youtube accounts. At a minimum, it is so, so awkward and embarrassing to the United States military. Thanks very much, barbara, for that. In france there are fears tonight of new terror attacks following the killing of 17 people. While three gunmen died the hunt is on for other possible accomplices who might be at large including a female suspect who is believed to have escaped already to syria. Lets go to our Global Affairs correspondent, who is working her sources. Reporter the worry is there are even more accomplices as part of what french leaders believe is a Terror Network with cell thass that have now been activated throughout france. Investigators are now trying to connect the dots between the islamic militants responsible for last weeks attacks and groups like al qaeda and isis raising troubling questions about whether they could team up as a driving force for more terror against the west. Tonight, france is on high alert. More than 10,000 french soldiers and 8,000 police on patrol. Heavily Armed Security forces on guard at paris landmarks and Jewish Schools, as authorities hunt for more suspected accomplices in last weeks terror attacks. Amid new fears terror cells have be activated across the country. Translator we are doing everything we can to dismantle what appears to be a network, larger group beyond these three terrorists. Reporter the search is intensifying for the one known living suspect, the girlfriend of Kosher Grocery attacker Amedy Coulibaly. New Surveillance Video captures Hayat Boumeddiene with an unknown man at turkish passport control. After arriving in istanbuls airport from madrid just five days before the paris siege. Turkish Authorities Say phone logs show her staying at a hotel in istanbul before slipping into syria a day before the attacks. An unconfirmed tweet from jihadist groups say boumeddiene is now in isis controlled territory. Obviously the Intelligence Community right now is running down every lead to see if they can provide any information to the french on her and her whereabouts and how she might have gone places. Reporter the investigation now centers around links between terror groups and the gunmen who were friends for years before the attacks. The kouachi brothers who began wednesdays reign of terror with the attack on Charlie Hebdos offices are believed to have trained with al qaeda in yemen. And video on jihadist web sites shows coulibaly, who took hostages at the kosher market, pledging allegiance to al baghdadi. Are these two terror groups at odds with one another . Finding common cause to attack the enemy . It shows to some degree this has become a social movement while the leadership are caught up in rivalry, many foot soldiers dont have such big differences and are able to Work Together to put together plots against the west. Reporter now, there is the concern this is not over which is why the heavy military presence across france. Not only is Amedy Coulibaly believed to have activated his contacts before he was killed by police the attacks on Charlie Hebdo cartoonists are said to have electrified the Global Jihadist Movement and authorities are worried that militants inspired by what they saw last week will carry out attacks in the days ahead. Wolf . Very worrisome. Thank you very much. We have seen the photos of her covered from head to toe in a burqa, we have seen her in a bikini as well, the girlfriend of the dead paris gunman coulibaly, most recently was seen entering turkey after leaving france. We are learning new details about the suspected accomplice in last weeks killings. Lets bring in jake tapper live from paris. What are you picking up over there, jake . Reporter well we had a conversation earlier today with Amedy Coulibalys former defense attorney. They havent spoken in some time but he represented him and he had a lot of light to shed on how coulibaly got radicalized. First of all, one of the things that this attorney told us was that Hayat Boumeddiene was actually more radical, more extremist in her beliefs, than her boyfriend, coulibaly, who was killed on friday after going into that kosher supermarket and killing four jews and taking others hostage. She was the one who was more radical than him. In fact its very interesting, theres this whole other plot having to do with somebody who might have been a mentor of sorts to coulibaly and to the kouachi brothers or at least one of the kouachi brothers in prison. His name was djamel beghal. He was in a french prison for trying to blow up the embassy in france in 2001 and now is in prison i believe for trying to stage a prison break, conspiring to do a prison break, along with kouachi and coulibaly. But in any case he had a cell phone, beghal and he had it in prison and the authorities knew about it and they let him have it because they were wiretapping it they were listening to it the whole time. There are all these tapes of conversations that he had. In some of those conversations, boumeddiene, this young woman, actually talked to him and complained about coulibaly, about how he wasnt serious enough. All he wanted to do was have fun. In another conversation according to intelligence that this lawyer told us she said that she wanted to go live in an arab country so as the pieces are coming together and were finding out how it came to be that the kouachi brothers and Amedy Coulibaly became radicalized, it turns out that this woman wasnt just some bit player. She actually played a prominent role and may have even in her way, encouraged coulibaly to become more serious as a jihadist more serious as a terrorist, wolf. Thats shocking information. We will get back to you. Stand by. Thank you very much. Jake tapper reporting from paris. Lets get back to the breaking news. A cyberattack on the u. S. Military Central Command by isis supporters or sympathizers. Joining us now for his first nationally televised interview as new chairman of the House Armed Services committee, texas republican congressman mack thornberry. Thanks very much for joining us. Thanks for having me wolf. Its very disturbing, at a main mum minimum very embarrassing that the u. S. Military Central Command twitter account, youtube account, have been hijacked they have been hacked, if you will by at least sympathizers of isis. What can you tell us about this . Well i think it tells us all, at least several things. One is this is a flexible adaptable enemy that is looking for weak spots and they are looking to instill fear into our military, into our society in general. Secondly it tells us that this is an idealogical struggle and other than the egyptian president , not many other people are pushing back against the ideology that social media and other things are a part of. Finally, it tells us that cyberis the new domain of warfare. We have seen the north koreans, now we have seen some sort of terrorist group reportedly we are going to have to deal with cyber as a domain. We know the fbi is now investigating this attack on the u. S. Militarys Central Command. Should we anticipate more of these attacks on the u. S. Military, the u. S. Government down the road . Well, sure. They will attack us where they think we are vulnerable and that includes cyber. Now, as i understand it it was not the military website military net works themselves that were attacked it was the twitter and youtube accounts so certainly, it threw out the private sector wherever they can work their way in and again, instill fear cause doubt and uncertainty, they are going to do that because they are attacking our society. They are not just about blowing people up. They are about attacking our society as well. The Central Command just released a statement from their headquarters down at Mcdill Air Force base in tampa saying that they dont believe a sensitive classified information was necessarily compromised but they are saying they are notifying appropriate department of defense and Law Enforcement authorities about the potential release of personally identifiable information and they are also saying they will take appropriate steps to ensure that any individuals potentially affected are notified as quickly as possible. They apparently released information about names of military officers addresses. This is very worrisome. It is and remember the reason they did it was to instill fear. So if you put out on the internet the names of family members, addresses and so forth, it is designed to make the military folks worry about themselves and their families safety. Thats why i say this is in part an idealogical struggle. They are trying to attack our society so seeds of dissension and fear and bombings assassinations social media are all part of the tools they use to attack us. Its worrisome they could hack the youtube and twitter account of u. S. Military Central Command which is responsible largely for this war on terrorism throughout the middle east whether in syria or iraq or yemen or any of these other countries. Thats the domain of centcom, the u. S. Military Central Command. Stand by mr. Chairman. I have a lot more to discuss about whats going on in this war on terror.

A massive hunt under way for a female suspect, possible accomplices as well, in the paris terrorist attack. We are back with congressman Mac Thornberry of texas, new chairman of the House Armed Services committee. What can you tell us about this woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, because there is a lot of sense from what were hearing she is not just a girlfriend she was very very directly involved in these terror operations. Yeah as we get more information about her, we are learning more about her role particularly in goading the others on. I think whats key is that these three or four people are just the tip of the iceberg, because thousands of people from western europe and even some from the United States have gone into iraq syria, some to yemen as we know for training and now they have come back and all of those with western european passports of course can come to the United States without a visa. So thats part of the reason i think so many people are so concerned that we may just be seeing the first of these folks who have gone to those safe havens, trained and are now coming to launch their attacks against us. Because in france they are saying these terror cells have been activated, some sleeper cells, and that there are accomplices of these three terrorists who were killed as part of the rescue operations there are accomplices at large right now. Is that what youre hearing . Well im sure the french are trying to scramble to get back on top of this situation, but unfortunately, wolf i think we know we the west know less today about terrorists and what theyre planning than we did just a few years ago because there have been so many leaks, books, movies and the like the terrorists have learned what we do and how we do it and in addition to that we have tied our own hands for some crucial intelligence collection. So the point is we have less information about these folks, where they have gone what they have planned, than we did a few years ago. Thats part of the reason i think the danger is higher today than its been before. The Associated Press is reporting from france quoting two French Police officials speaking on condition of anonymity, they are saying French Police now believe as many as six terror suspects this report suspects remain on the loose right now. Six terror suspects apparently connected to this terror plot against the magazine against that jewish kosher supermarket. Have you heard anything along those lines, that six accomplices may be at large some place right now . No. I dont know the numbers. I think again, whats clear is that hundreds if not thousands of people from france thousands from western europe and the United States have gone to be trained and then many of them have come back to western europe. Some even to the United States to launch attacks. Thats part of the problem. The way to stop attacks is not to carry signs and have demonstrations. Its through intelligence Law Enforcement and Strong Military action. Thats going to be the key Going Forward to deal with this situation or any situation we may have here at home. I guess the question is in connection with this terror plot that developed in paris over the past few days we know theres one person this woman, Hayat Boumeddiene, who may be in syria with isis right now, but are there any others at least as far as we know that were involved in this plot at large . Well i think the authorities in france and elsewhere are still scrambling to try to figure out who was involved in this plot and are there other plots, because as your report indicated, there is some information that there may be other plots that would be separate. And again, remember the terrorists are an adaptable group. They learn from their mistakes they change and they look for how to attack us where we are weak. And these sort of targets, you know the grocery store, and a newspaper, for example, are examples of those softer targets that they have gone after. Has the u. S. Concluded yet there whether this was an isis operation or aqap operation . I think we are still gathering information. We know from reports that two of these guys have traveled to yemen, then theres the report of this lady going back to iraq and syria. Again, part of what concerns so many people is that you get al qaeda and isis in competition with each other and maybe in some places even collaborating. So thats part of the reason i think the dangers going up. One final question mr. Chairman. These terrorists have kalashnikov assault rifles ammunition molotov cocktails, rocket launchers. They had a lot of weapons over there. In france its pretty hard to get this kind of weaponry. Where do they get this kind of stuff . Well they obviously buy it on the black market. They sneak it in. They dont have these weapons legally. They get them illegally. If you are going to go kill a bunch of people you dont mind breaking the law to get a bunch of weapons illegally. It is part of this trend, im afraid we are beginning to see, where they may still go after airplanes and some of their traditional targets of the past but they are looking for these softer targets with grenades with rifles and so forth, to kill a bunch of people. They still get the media effect and remember this is in substantial measure an idealogical struggle where they are trying to instill fear in our society. And whether you shoot people or blow them up it contributes to that goal. Congressman thornberry thanks very much for joining us. We will stay in close touch with you. He is the new chairman of the House Armed Services committee. We are learning new details about the french terrorists. For a time one of them was a roommate of the men who eventually tried to bring down an airliner flying over detroit by setting off a bomb in his underwear.

Cnns john berman is in paris and is joining us live. You are getting new information. What are you learning . Reporter the Security Officials that i have spoken to here in paris, wolf they tell me what sticks out to them is the video that we saw of the kosher supermarket attacker Amedy Coulibaly. The video that was posted over the weekend that included clips of him talking about the attack on the policewoman and then a video that was posted after his death. Who shot that video . Who posted that video . It makes them ask questions about whether there was someone directly involved with him. As for the kouachi brothers there is this question. They had that rocketpropelled grenade launcher. What did they intend to do with that . They didnt use it here at Charlie Hebdo, the office which is just a block away right here. They had it with them the whole time including when they got awfully close to the airport at the end for them. Were they intending to take a shot with that grenade launcher at some planes . Its an open question and it raises the bigger questions about whether there were other people involved and the french Prime Minister today told our Christiane Amanpour that he does believe there were accomplices or at least an accomplice at a minimum dealing with finance and at the operational level. Thats very worrisome. I understand that the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has just defiantly published a new issue. They want to distribute a million copies and it has another rather provocative cover. Reporter thats right. The issue comes out wednesday. The normal circulation for Charlie Hebdo has been 60,000. For this they are expecting to publish one million copies. The french press reporting on what that cover will be. It is of the prophet muhammed wearing a shirt that says je suis charlie. At the top it says in french all is forgiven. The prophet muhammed is shedding a tear. There is satire pointed satire continuing even after the horrific attacks. I should say there is this memorial behind me i have been here for more than 12 hours today. There arent many people here now, its late at night, but it is never empty. A steady stream of people coming by here and its not because its a tourist attraction. People are bringing flowers even at these late hours and many of them leaving with tears in their eyes. Yeah. Totally understandable. Given what has happened in paris. John berman thank you very much. We are also watching a rather unusual scramble to do political damage control after president obama skipped that huge unity rally in paris on sunday that attracted millions of people including the leaders of france germany, great britain, israel. But the highest ranking u. S. Official was the ambassador of the United States to france. Lets bring in our senior white house correspondent, jim acosta. Jim, we saw something rather extraordinary, unusual, happen at the white house today. Reporter thats right. Today the white house did something amazing. Aides to the president conceded they screwed up in not sending a Top Administration official to paris for the march. After watching World Leaders march together in solidarity with the people of france following those deadly terrorist attacks, the white house admitted it made a mistake. I think its fair to say that we should have sent someone with a higher profile to be there. That said there is no doubt that the American People and this administration stand foursquare behind our allies in france as they face down this threat. Reporter white house officials wont say who got it so wrong, only that the decision on which officials to send to the rally was not made by the president. Press secretary josh earnest refused to explain why the u. S. Ambassador to france was the highest ranking american official at the march. Im not going to sort of unpack all of the planning and discussions that went into this. Reporter still, the white house had ample options with the secretary of state in india and attorney general eric holder already in paris on the sunday talk shows and for meetings with french leaders. Add to that the president was at the white house and Vice President biden at his home in wilmington both with no public schedule. The Vice President was sitting at home all weekend. Presumably he could have gone. So was the president. Reporter the white house admission of regret came as some big names were rushing to the president s defense. I really think this is sort of quibbling a little bit. Reporter to former White House Press secretary jay carney. You dont want this story to be about the american leader. You want it to be about the french people. Reporter but criticism was mounting. I thought this is why god invented Vice President s. Reporter potential 2016 gop contenders are jumping in. How sad was it in the streets of paris as 40 World Leaders walked down the street absent was the United States of america. Where was the president . Reporter the white house notes the president did pay his respects during his trip to the french embassy. The white house suggested the security needs of the president made a trip to paris difficult, but press secretary josh earnest acknowledged that the secret service could have pulled it off. Still, a secret Service Official said the agency was not asked or notified about a potential president ial trip. A spokesman said it would have been a challenge but he did not say it was impossible and we should mention, secret Service Officials said they had agents on the ground in paris just in case. Thanks very much. Not every day the white house admits they made a mistake. Among the critics of the president s decision to skip the paris unity march is republican senator marco rubio of florida. I spoke with him earlier today. Anyone i mean the important thing, some highranking official from the administration should have been there, would have been good if they had been there, would have shown a strong level of solidarity. I think in hindsight i would hope they would say maybe we should have done it differently. The more important issue is the terrorism that happened and how we can prevent that moving forward. We had an extensive interview i will air tomorrow here in the situation room. You can learn more details about what senator rubio says are the most urgent threats to the United States right now, how the nation should combat them. Hes a key member of the intelligence and Foreign Relations committee. The interview with senator rubio in the situation room tomorrow. Coming up new information that one of the paris terrorists may have actually roomed with the socalled underwear bomber shortly before that failed attack on a u. S. Bound airliner.

We are learning now one of the gunmen may have known the notorious underwear bomber who tried to bring down a u. S. Bound airliner. Brian todd is looking into this story for us. What are you learning . Reporter there is new information tonight that the kouachi brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo magazine were both in yemen at the same time in 2011. But there was another visit by the older brother, said kouachi, in 2009 which has the Intelligence Community buzzing tonight. The reason . A new account that said kouachi may have moved in the same circles as a terrorist from another wellknown plot. They are behind two of the worlds most notorious terror attacks. Tonight, a chilling new account that they may have crossed paths, may have even been friends. Said kouachi, the older of the two brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo magazine was in yemen in 2009 according to a Yemeni Journalist and was in the same orbit with abdu mutallab now serving a life sentence for trying and failing to bring down a passenger plane bound for the u. S. On christmas day, 2009. A journalist tells cnn he spoke to said kouachi in yemen a few years ago. Just how well did the future paris gunman know the future underwear bomber . He lived with him in the same residence. Reporter he says said kouachi told him he had roomed with mutallab for a week or two at an apartment in yemens capital a few months before mutallab got on that flight with a bomb. Kouachi told the journalist they would pray. He was a nice guy and he was silent most of the time and doesnt like to talk to people. Reporter at that time mutallab was being trained and directed by al awlaki a charismatic leader of al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Could kouachi have known about the underwear bomb plot then . It would have been kept compartmentalize because of the security protocols that even aqap was undergoing where you actually see mutallab move very slowly into Senior Leadership. Reporter cnn cannot independently confirm the journalists account and Officials Say they cant confirm that said kouachi and the underwear bomber knew each other but the accounts link two of the most high profile attacks on the west with al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, whose master bomb maker also designed bombs that were discovered on cargo planes bound for the u. S. The threat to the United States from aqap is extremely serious. Hitting the United States is priority one. Priority two and priority three for aqap. Reporter but there is still a huge question tonight regarding the paris attackers real connections to the al qaeda affiliate in yemen. A senior yemeni intelligence source tells cnn the kouachi brothers were both in yemen for a period of about three months starting in april of 2011 right before Anwar Al Awlaki was killed by a u. S. Drone. Its not clear if either brother ever met with al awlaki or any other Senior Leaders of that group. Wolf . I suspect we will learn a lot more in the coming days. Thanks very much. Lets get some analysis of whats going on. Joining us guillaume is a French Television analyst. Peter bergen and tom fuentes, a former assistant director of the fbi. Guys stand by for a moment. I want to take a quick break. We have a lot to dissect, to digest. Stay with us. Please no.

Ok, whys that . No hidden fees from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Nice grreat a shot like that. Calls for a postgame celebration. Share what you love with who you love. Kelloggs frosted flakes. Theyre grrreat unprecedented security in france as police hunt for possible accomplices of the terrorists. Lets bring in our panelists. What are you hearing about reports that there may be other suspects accomplices at large right now, people who were involved in the terror attacks against the magazine and the kosher supermarket . The authorities are looking for at least one possible accomplice someone who has shot this famous video released sunday and who has put together after the massacre at this jewish grocery store. So someone was helping Amedy Coulibaly. There was a jogger shot. The cops couldnt understand what happened. The gun that was used to shoot this jogger has been found in this jewish grocery. What the cops dont know is whether Amedy Coulibaly shop this jogger or someone else used the same gun. Theres a lot of interrogation, a lot of possibilities. Of course, they are the members of the socell who funneled french people to iraq in 2005 and 2006 to which the kouachi brothers and coulibaly belonged to. There are people the french authorities are looking for. The jogger in Critical Condition but still alive. What was the motive in going after a jogger . We dont know. The cops are they dont really understand exactly why it was done. And they again, they know the gun, you know was used in both killings not the killing for the jogger because hes still alive. Theyre not quite sure that its coulibaly that did it. Theres another instance thats worrisome is that in the videotape, coulibaly talked about a car with explosives. Theres a car that exploded in a suburb of paris killing nobody but it exploded. Theres a lot of unknown pieces that the french investigators have to piece together. So yeah they dont understand the whole picture yet. Very unclear. Intriguing. Clearly, peter, this amedy cool be a coulibaly said the attacks, he says they were led by isis and al qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula. Is there a possibility the two terror groups have alined . I dont think theres evidence for that at all right now. Coulibaly shot the video in his bedroom in prance it looks like. Theres no evidence so far that he ever went to syria or trained with isis. He simply seems to have selfidentified with isis. It seems more likely this plot was directed by al qaeda at the Arabian Peninsula, they knew each other from the network and sort of coming and going in and out of prison. He has merely selfidentified with isis. It doesnt suggest an Isis Al Qaeda linkage in a formal sense, wolf. You believe, tom, that the deployment of 10,000 addition am french troops is going to get the job done . The job is to guard every Jewish School synagogue, Community Center police station, Government Office every place where Police Military or jewish people congregate. That will take more people than they have on the Police Forces to do it. At the same time continuing the intelligence gathering investigation of the cells. So that frees up the police to investigate rather than stand guard at all these locations. Is it just jewish institutions schools that are at risk right now . No. All the institutions jewish and muslims are being protected. Theyre very worried about the socalled copycat or other associate of the killers doing attempts in paris. So theres a huge Security Force that have been deployed. Also in mass transit, television, theres a lot of cops now. Stand by. Were going to have more breaking news at the top of the hour.

Military Central Command and threaten american troops posting ominous new video and twitter messages. Are terrorist sleeper cells being activated in the United States . I will ask the state departments deputy spokeswoman. Police hunt for accomplices in the paris terror attacks. Possible suspects who may be at large. On the trail of the terrorists. What the u. S. Knew about the terrorist attackers and when. Were early warnings of their plans for a massacre missed . We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer. You are in the situation room. The breaking news tonight, chilling threats against americans claiming to come from isis only days after the terror in paris. Cyber attackers brazenly break into social media sites of the u. S. Military elite command. They are warning u. S. Troops to watch their backs posting their personal information and suggesting their families may be in danger. Republican senator lendsy gra syLindsey Graham is standing by along with our analysts and correspondents are covering the breaking news. First lets go to Barbara Starr. Good evening. The bfbi stepped into the matter investigating, was a proisis Group Responsible for the hacks into the u. S. Central command social media accounts . The Central Command account read s s s, but is it really isis . It doesnt matter that it was isis. It does matter a Group Calling itself isis is taking credit. The goal is to cause fear and overreaction. We need to react appropriately to it but not overreact to it. The tweets threaten u. S. Troops and their families including posting the document with names and addresses of u. S. Military officials and documents related to north korea and china. American soldiers, we are coming watch your back we know everything about you, your wives, your children the hackers warn. The cyber attack comes as isis has rereleased a video calling for attacks on u. S. Targets, including the military. The pentagon says so far, it does not appear anything classified was posted and one u. S. Military official said some of the information has already appeared online elsewhere. I can tell you this is something that were looking into and something that we take seriously. However, i just a note of caution to folks as they are covering the story. Theres a significant difference between what is a large data breach and the hacking of a twitter account. The fbi is assisting the military with the investigation of the hacking of both its twitter and youtube accounts. Its the latest in hacks by people claiming to be isis. Last week several media organizations had their accounts hacked and similar threats were posted. All of this comes as isis in the wake of the paris attacks is also finding itself targeted online. The Hacker Group Anonymous says it is targeting isis. Whats more concerning is what they stole and posted its what they might have stolen and what they might be able to steal in the future. The attack came as the president took to the stage to push for greater cyber security. As the hackers with posting the threats, the white house was sending out a message from the president on its own twitter account. If were going to be connected, then we need to be protected. Now, the pentagon is pointing out that its twitter and youtube accounts are hosted on commercial servers. It insists that its classified Computer Systems, the classified Information Online still remains entirely safe at least they hope so. Wolf . But they are worried about the fact that the names of senior military officers and their families were posted online. Well they are very worried about this whole trend right now in social media of what you are mentioning as well as even young troops posting Information Online on their Facebook Accounts their twitter that may be identifying information about where they live what they do where their families are, how to contact them. This is a big concern. They have been warning troops to be very careful about what they post online. Today you saw another example when whoever hacked into this posted some information about senior more senior military officers. Wolf . Barbara, thank you. Lets get to the paris terror attacks. 18,000 french soldiers and police fanning out across france. They are hunting for possible accomplices and guarding against any new threats. The french Prime Minister has no doubt theres one accomplice still at large. What else you got jim . Reporter theres been a linkering question since the gunmen stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo. Were there others involved who are still at large . The Prime Minister confirming yes, very likely as you say there were a come mriss. Perhaps six tide to the plot at large. Today we found very hard proof that at least one of those tide managed to escape the country before the attacks. This is Surveillance Video showing a companion of the kosher shop attacker entering turkey five days before the attacks. She hands her passport to an immigration officer and continues on her way. From telephone logs Authorities Say she stayed in a hotel then crossed into syria january 8, one day before the siege. Today french authorities made clear she is not the only suspected acome mris still at large. Translator no doubt, there was complicity and networks and maybe finance also. I dont really believe in the idea of a lone wolf. Reporter which terror group if any ordered these attacks remains a mystery. Kosher shop attacker Amedy Coulibaly pledges allegiance to isis. Translator you attack isis we attack you. Reporter u. S. Officials believe one of the againmen ingunmen, said kouachi kouachi, trained with aqap and may have met with a leader a radical american cleric before he was assassinated in a u. S. Drone strike in 2011. Today, france remains on its highest alert level with officials concerned that additional terror sleeper cells may have been activated. Translator the president of france asked the armed forces to secure france due to the scale of the threats which exist for our country. Reporter police now investigating a group of young men who met in paris under the guise of jogging. They were being radicalized. That includes the Charlie Hebdo attackers, Amedy Coulibaly. They are looking at others radicalized while in prison. These are some of the networks police are scouring to make sure that they can get all those involved in the attack. The assumption among please is that there are others that they are at large and thats one of the reasons for the enormous police and military presence around the country tonight. A manhunt continues, enormous. Thank you. We are learning about the girlfriend of the attacker at the supermarket and her relation relationship with her dead boyfriend. Is it possible she convinced him to embrace radical islam . Our anchor jack tapper is in paris. He is digging into this part of the story. Tell our viewers what you have learned. Earlier today, we spoke at length with the former defense attorney for Amedy Coulibaly. This man represented coulibaly through many years of criminal charges. Coulibaly had been embracing islam in prison having been there, sent there for five Armed Robbery convictions as well as a drug conviction. He came to know an algerian terrorist who was in prison for trying to destroy or trying to blow up the u. S. Embassy in 2001. It is this other terrorist, this other mentor who brought him together with one of the kouachi brothers in prison. Whats interesting is this man was being his name if i can say, is jamel gbagel. He snuck a cell phone into prison or had one snuck in. Authorities knew about it. French authorities knew about it and they let him keep it because they wanted to listen to his calls. At one point, they were listening and they heard Hayat Boumeddiene complaining about coulibaly and he was only interested in having fun. She said she unfortunately, we lost our connection with jake. We will try to reconnect. You get the point that the authorities, at least some of the authorities now suspect she was more involved in recruiting him, Amedy Coulibaly, we are talking about Hayat Boumeddiene, the girlfriend of the terrorist killed at the kosher supermarket. We will get more. Stand by for that. Lets bring in the state departments deputy spokeswoman. Shes joining us from the state department right now. Thanks very much for joining us. Is it the working assumption there are other accomplices in the terror cell at large right now . Thats certainly something were working very closely with the french on. We are looking at every possible lead to see who may have helped them, who may have helped radicalize them but also who may have helped them with the attack. That investigation is ongoing. As the french have said we should assume there are. We are returning down all those leads right now. Is this an isis operation or was it an al qaeda, the Arabian Peninsula operation. Some of the terrorists are inspired by different groups. Its not just one or the other. We have talked about if it turns out they had gone to yemen and met with aqap and gotten training there, thats very concerning. But we also know that they have spoke been isis and looking to them. Its not as clearcut as that anymore. All of the groups have the ability to radicalize people. Theres a report now that you heard jake starting to talk about it a little bit. Al qaedas chief reporter in europe that he played a role in recruiting these guys. What do you know about that . The Intelligence Community is looking all of that right now. We had had information about these brothers and about their travel that we have been sharing with the french. But were going to continue looking at it. I think, wolf, the longerterm question here, beyond what was responsible for this attack this horrific attack is how people become radicalized. How did these two brothers end up going on such a horrific killing spree . Thats part of the longerterm challenge with we talk about countering this extremism. But were working with the french and others. We will have a summit at the white house soon on it. You heard Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Intelligence Committee Say there could be sleeper cells here in the United States right now as well. What can you tell us about that . Well my Law Enforcement colleagues put out a statement saying we have no specific and credible threat information, casing theres a threat in the homeland. But they are vigilant because we know its hard to detect sleeper cells. Were committed to seeing if there are other possible threats, but nothing to indicate it at this point. Here is something that worries me. I will let you reaction. You saw the video. Hayat boumeddiene, she was in turkey. Theres a turkish video. She got into turkey and then from turkey she supposedly went on to syria to connect with isis. Turkey is a nato ally. She was wellknown to International Counter terror authorities. How does this happen . It under scores how tough the challenge is of closing the borders to syria. We have worked with the turkish government to improve their ability to do so. I think it shows the problem with foreign fighters not just coming in but also coming out. Its something we continue to work with the turks on. But other countries in the region as well because these are very porous borders. Theres questions about what kind of documents she was traveling on. This is something were concerned about. Are you leaning toward this being al qaeda operation or an isis operation . Clearly, not simply a couple or three guys who were as they say lone wolves inspired by some terror magazine. This was a sophisticated, highlyplanned operation. There may be other accomplices still at large. They clearly had significant training. All you have to do is look at the video of how they used weapons to know they had some. Were looking into that. It may turn out that they had training from a certain tear are terrorist group. Those are all unknowns. I think thats the longerterm challenge. Looking at this group of people who may have gone to train. What caused them to pick this time as when they would undertake this attack . There are a lot of unknowns. A lot of things are difficult to know in advance of the attacks when you are talking about such a small cell. Were working with the french on it. Were working with our Law Enforcement intelligence counterparts to do better. I want you to stand by. We have more to discuss including your boss john kerry. Why didnt he go to paris to participate in that rally with all of the french leaders and World Leaders who were there . We know the president didnt go. The secret service didnt want him to go. We will talk about that. Stay with us. Well be right back. Narrator these are the tennis shoes skater kid whoa narrator that got torture tested by teenagers and cried out for help.

A man identified as al qaedas chief recruiter in europe has been connected to two of the terror suspects. We are back talking about the terror attacks, the hunt under way for possible accomplices. Do you have any clue at all where this chief recruiter might be . He is on the loose some place. I know my Intelligence Community colleagues are working with theirs in france and elsewhere to see what we know. Obviously, theres ongoing investigations right now. The white house today did something extraordinary. They admitted they made a mistake when they didnt send a highlevel u. S. Official to represent the United States at that french rally in paris on sunday. We know the president didnt go. We know the Vice President didnt go. I was surprised that john kerry, who speaks french loves france studied in france why he didnt go. Tell the indians he was in india meeting with leadership let me take a few hours, let me represent the United States on the streets of paris. Was that a mistake . The white house has spoken to the fact we should have sent a higher ranking official. When it copmes to secretary kerry, he asked if he could be there. We had committed to doing this economic summit with Prime Minister minister modi an event planned for a long time. Setting up the president s trip to india. Because of how far it is away from france he wasnt able to be there. He is looking forward to going on thursday. He spoke directly in french to the french people the day of the attack. Has very much stood in solidarity with the french people. If there were a way for him to be there, he would have been. Even the white house acknowledges it was a mistake that only the u. S. Ambassador to france was there. It was awkward, right . We agree. We should have had higher level representation. Unfortunately, there was no way for secretary kerry to be there. I think you and everyone else knows as well as anyone if theres a way for him to get to paris, usually under better circumstances, he would have been there, looking forward to going thursday. We have stood in solidarity with the french people. Its not defined by one march no matter how important and this was a important one. Speaking of awkward, lets talk about the u. S. Military Central Command. Their youtube page twitter account were compromised today. Supposedly by some isis sympathy iedz izer. The elite military Central Command, responsible for fighting terror in iraq in syria, in yemen all over the middle east and south area, the central xhancommand was hacked. How do you how can this happen . Well, upnfortunately there are hackers who may work for one cause or another who can unfortunately get into social media sites. Obviously, this is very concerning. The fbi is looking at it. None of the classified information was compromised. This is a serious breach. Were looking at how it happened and how we can prevent it in the future. Sensitive information was compromised. Addresses of senior military personnel. As i think they have said they have spoken to no classified information was these are social media sites which may have some personal information on them. This is was not a good thing that happened. But were looking into how it happened. In social media, the more you are out there, the more that you are engaging with the public around the world, sometimes it opens you up to risk. What we try do is mitigate this risk. All right. Thanks very much for joining us. The deputy spokesperson or woman at the state department. Thanks very much. Up next details of the paris terror attack. Well be back live in the french capital. Stay with us. Also what u. S. Intelligence knew about the three terrorists who waged the deadly terror attacks.

Mattress discounters were following breaking news in the paris terror attacks. A man identified as al qaedas recruiter in europe has been connected to the paris terrorists. A source familiar with the investigation says its unclear where that man is right now. Lets go back to paris. Jim shoe doe is joining us. Whats the latest you are hearing about this . This man, al qaedas top recruiter in europe this substantiates the link between attacks last week and al qaeda. We heard from the Charlie Hebdo gunmen. They claimed a tie to al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. This draws a line in core al qaeda in pakistan. He was not just a recruiter. He was in prison in france for a plot to blow up the u. S. Embassy in france. Not sure where he is right now. That raises questions about who was allowed to operate in france despite ties to terrorism, which has been a problem. They had histories the kouachi brothers had been under surveillance. They were taken off surveillance. Why was that . There is going to be an investigation as to why that was allowed to happen. You have another hard link to terrorism, a missed warning thats going to raise additional questions about how the french handled the threats. A lot of questions that have been raised. A lot of lessons that have to be learned. Stand by. Lets get more. Lets bring in jane harmon. She leads the Wilson Center in washington. Also our National Security analyst, our counterterrorism correspondent and our Law Enforcement analyst. Phil this woman, Hayat Boumeddiene may have been more involved than her boyfriend, according to the late breaking reports. She got to turkey in recent days. We believe shes with isis in syria some place. This is extremely disturbing information. Theres a couple things you need to think about. First is the complexity of this investigation is more significant than most of the investigations i witnessed in the United States. Were talking about links to iraq and yemen going back five ten years. I talked about a recruiter who has been around in europe for years. You are talking about two simultaneous operations in paris. The possibility that theres someone else out there at the periphery of this cell who is still out there thinking the noose is tightening i better do something now, thats pretty significant. However, wolf this lady herself, i dont think we will see her again. Theres a chance she will show up on a propaganda video. Now that shes in syria and iraq. I think she will never come home again. She might be killed by Syrian Military operations. She might be killed by fighting among fangs among among among factions. I done thinkt think she will come home alive. Let me follow up. She goes to turkey a nato ally. Shes wellknown to International Counterterrorism authorities. They have video of her going through passport control. She goes into turkey and disappears into syria. Whats going on in turkey . I think, wolf she wasnt wanted at the time she showed up there. The fact that they know about her doesnt mean that they put her in the Computer System and so some officer at passport control would have known about it to stop her. If i could add to what phil said the complexity the plot for the u. S. Embassy, seven countries in europe had al qaeda cells that were part of that plot and later prosecutions were done in belgium, the netherlands and in paris. Most of the subjects got ten years or less. But had that plot not been unfoiled and had the intelligence and Police Services not been working with the u. S. With the fbi, we would have had our embassy bombed the same week as the 9 11 attack here in the United States. He was convicted of a plot to blow up the United States embassy in paris. He spent four years in jail. Then they released him to house arrest in 2009 which is when you think about it pretty shocking. Lets bring in phillip, french tv france 24. Phillip, whats the latest you are hearing about accomplices, a broader cell being hunted for in france right now . Theres talk of all sorts of sleeper cells or some single suspects who might have been part of sleeper cells or might be part of them right now. The problem with the sleeper cells is of course they are asleep. Theyre not visible. Thats why we see an enormous amount of u. S. French military personnel on the streets. Not only of paris. Up to 10,000 soldiers on the streets of paris and other cities of france by tuesday morning. That is of course to protect institutions. According to it the defense minister these are sensitive areas. He is not saying exactly what kind of places these are. But they include Jewish Schools and synagogues. If sleeper cells do become awake, thats the kind of place they might be going. These are the french Authorities Saying what possible targets could be in the future if there are any. Thats what the French Police and the military are doing. This sun precedented by the way, this large amount of camouflaged military personnel on the streets of french cities. The french people dont necessarily like uniforms all that much. But they are ready to see them. This is a country that is nervous and afraid of any possible copycat attacks or the sleeper cells making an appearance. Were told 700 Jewish Schools and institution across france are being protected right now with special security. Peter, if officials are looking for terrorist cells right now that have been truly activated, what do they look for . How do they deal with this . I think the main person they must be looking for is the person who shot the video of coulibaly who pledged allegiance to isis. Somebody shot that video. Somebody edited that video. Somebody put it online. Clearly is deeply involved in the conspiracy. The first order of business is to find who this person is. How difficult will that be . I dont know. I mean its hard to tell. Presumably they would have the information about which site it was uploaded to. They might be some digital fingerprints that could put them to a particular internet cafe or particular house that might be lead them to the person. The person may have hid behind a proxy when he uploaded the video. It might be very difficult. It might be easy. I have no idea. Jane senator feinstein suggested yesterday that there may be sleeper cells here in the United States right now. That is extremely worrisome. Thats the assumption for years. Complexity is the new normal. Its not just going to take Police Action to figure this out. Although i commend the French Police for doing what they are doing. I commend the fbi and the Homeland Security department for keeping us safe here. We also have to build trust with muslim communities, because theyre going to figure out people are going to figure out that their own children or their own neighbors are involved in something weird. If they trust Law Enforcement, they will reveal some of this. In addition to that we have to use social media as aggressively as the bad guys are using it to recruit. We have to have counter narrative that sells the fact that what they doing is bad, its not consistent with islam. And that what the west offers is really a value set that should be embraced by the muslim community. We have to do a better job of that. I dont just see this as having people in camouflage walking on every street. Then were going to build the police state that we are obviously trying to protect against. I see that as a piece of whats necessary but more necessary building trust. Thats a major challenge but an important one. Everyone else stand by. Up next what u. S.

The department of Homeland Security is expanding tougher security measures at government buildings. U. S. Law enforcement officials are now on alert for the possibility of similar attacks here in the United States as they pour over every detail about the slaughter that occurred in france. Lets bring in our justice correspondent pamela brown. What are you learning . In the wake of the paris attacks and the fact that isis is trying to capitalize on the momentum dhs is asking Law Enforcement in the u. S. To stay on a heightened state of vigilance. Dhs is boosting security at buildings in more cities. With an isis flag behind him and a rifle at his side the alleged killer at the supermarket, pledges allegiance to isis. A senior u. S. Law enforcement official tells cnn Amedy Coulibaly was in the u. S. Government terrorist database for a while. Its not certain if he was on the no fly list. The coulibaly video surfaced as isis tweeted out a video encouraging jihad did iis attack. Law enforcement Officials Say the terrorist group is trying to galvanize supporters in the wake of the paris attacks. This is the nature of the new threat that we must confront. In response the fbi and dhs sent out a warning urging to stay on a heightened state of alert. The nypd sent out a warning. What you see with the threat is a call for a wider audience through their twitter capabilities through their internet reach, through the videos to say, we want more people to engage in low tech low cost high yield attacks with whatever they can put together. Law enforcement Officials Say its not yet clear if the paris suspects were directed or just influenced by isis or al qaeda to carry out the low tech low cost attacks. Whether or not there could be similar type attacks in the u. S. , u. S. Senator dianene feinstein raised alarm bells when she said this. I think there are sleeper cells not only in france but certainly in other countries and, yes, even in our own. A senior u. S. Law enforcement source i spoke with said theres no evidence of sleeper cells in the u. S. Of course its possible there are people that they are not aware of who are plotting an attack. Thats the big concern in Law Enforcement. The department of Homeland Security saying that it has no specific credible intelligence of an attack of the kind in paris last week being planned by terrorist organizations in this country. Wolf . Pamela brown, thank you. Lets get more. Joining us Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is a key member of the senate Armed Services committee. I know you are extremely worried. You have said expect more attacks. U. S. Intelligence at least in part is eroding. Do you believe there are sleeper cells in the United States plotting against america right now . I would assume that there are. If we knew where they were at we would do something about it. A sleeper cell is a group of people who have had training that have migrated here looking for some orders to attack. A lone wolf is a selfradicalized person thats kind of always there to be worried about. But mi5 said it better than i could. The cheap of mi5 said that major casualty events can be expected throughout the western world, including the United States. I take him at his word. When you call a sleeper cell is what happened had paris, even the 19 hijackers on 9 11. 9 11 was a sleeper cell as well. Absolutely. We didnt know about those guys. This fortress france and america is not going to work. We have to go after them. Were on defense. We need to take the fight to these guys. President obamas strategy to eradicate and destroy isil is never going to work without a ground component. I dont see this happening during the next two years, unless you get a ground component to complement the air component. If the french government is really serious about being at war with the terrorists lets form an international coalition, lets go help the iraqis in iraq and help the Free Syrian Army and take it to the guys on the ground. I dont since thats going to happen. Do you . Then were not at war with them. I dont either. I think its all talk. Its heartbreaking but you are never going to protect america france or any other nation as long as you have this kind of passive policy. You have to take the fight to these guys. You have to dig them out in syria. You have to dig them out in iraq. You have to hold the ground once you take it. You dont believe air strikes, drone strikes, f16 air strikes, that could get the job done . Not in the least. The iraqi army is trying to reconstitute. You have good fighters in the kurds. To make mosul back, when we liberated fallujah back in 2007 08 and 09, we had 8,000 marines and the army helping. Theres no way on gods green earth you take mosul back with the iraqi army and kurds without some international help. When you look over the border to syria, theres no ground component. If you trained the Free Syrian Army and you send them into syria without dealing with assads air power, they will get slaughters. The president is trying to run out the clock and pass this problem on to the next person. Thats very bad news for us. Cnn is reporting, senator, that a man identifiedy edied as al qaedas chief recruiter in europe he is connected to two of the paris terrorists. Here is the question. If that is true does that suggest al qaeda is stronger right now than a lot of people thought it would be . Absolutely. This narrative that bin laden is dead, al qaeda is decimated is false. Look there are more terrorist organizations that exist today with more safe havens with more capabilities with more weapons, more people with more money to attack the American Homeland 9 11 pulling out of iraq against sound military advice not going, not providing air cover to the Free Syrian Army and help train them three or four years ago when it would matter and leaving shambles after gaddafi fee failed the operative word when it comes to terrorism is more. There are more of them then capability. The other news today, its so shocking the elite Central Command, youve been in the military for a long time and served in the airrir force. The Central Command for south asia, north africa they deal with iraq and syria and yemen and al qaeda, thats their responsibility. Their twitter account was hacked. Their youtube account was hacked. Sensitive information about senior military officers and their families. That information was leaked maybe not classified information but how awkward, how awful is this . Lets say propaganda coup for them is more embarrassing for them than a Security Threat but it should be a wakeup call. America doesnt have a sound cybersecurity defense. Congress failed. I beat on the president. I think he deserves a lot of criticism for letting terrorism rise and letting al qaeda come back so strong but congress is cutting the budget and we cant agree on cybersecurity and we share a lot of the blame making america weaker against Cyber Threats and reducing intelligence capability to detect the next attack by allowing our budgets to be cut at a time when we need more capability not less. You dont want the department of Homeland Security budget to be held hostage to the president s executive order on immigration, right . You got that right. I dont mind fighting the part of the budget that implements the executive order, but to my republican colleagues were playing with fire and need a robust home Security Budget now but between 2016 and 2020 well cut the dod budget to have the Smallest Navy since 1915 and the Smallest Army since 1940 and gutting the fbi, all of the intelligence eyes and ears are beginning to be deaf and blind because of see quest trags. More breaking news coming up. The latest on the paris terror attacks, the isis cyber attack supposedly on the u. S. Military. So ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts . Thats right. Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Latte or au lait . Cozy or cool . Exactly the way you want it. Until boom, its bedtime your mattress is a battleground of thwarted desire. Enter the sleep number bed. Save 300 on the final closeout of the c3 Queen Mattress set.

Right now find the lowest prices of the season with the c3 Queen Mattress set only 1199. 98. Know better sleep with sleep number. Were following the breaking news in the paris terror attacks. A man identified as al qaedas recruit recruiter, a source familiar with the investigation says its unclear where the man is right now. A manhunt is underway. Might isis be coordinating efforts in these attacks . Do you believe . Weve got to separate out what isis and what aqap think at the leadership level. There is rivalry between them. Thats confused the situation about what happened in paris a. Couple people get trained and come home and conduct attack. The leadership talks about the conflict they have at the leadership level. I think the operators weve seen in france they dont care. They come home. They say we have simple threatenympathetic views and operated together without having coordinated guidance from their leadership. What do you think . I agree with phil. The dispute between the isis leadership and al qaeda leadership is what would be characterized as minor differences. These groups are very similar. They are in a power struggle for control of a global jihad movement. What we saw in france is not an example of isis and al qaeda coordinate income a formal sense. Its a sympathizer with isis and al qaeda as far as we know with information we have right now. Tom fuentes. What might the fbi doing . They will be looking at every possible record. When the threat warnings go out and say we know of no credible threat they wouldnt tell you if they do know. They would go arrest them but the idea is the warnings have gone out and the attempt to activate the cells has gone out months before now and not just recent ones and so that effort is underway and been underway for a long time. Has that effort been undermined by more restrictions that have gone into surveillance right now . I dont think so. I think were going to be learning a lot about this attack and for example, the avenues of travel these attackers took to places like yemen to determine if weve seen the same patterns in the United States. The frustrating thing i see is people saying how do we stop this. Weve seen attacks. We saw an attempt against Police Officers in new york. Weve seen attacks against transportation and london madrid. Now were having a conversation in the post snowden era about how to increase security. We got to step back and say the world is difficult. We got to leave it there, guys. Thanks for watching.
