Near the stadium. And it was impossible to get near the cafe. It was protected by heavy Police Presence, and of course, security, Police Presence. But this time around, it was a beefedup security operation. What could they tell you about what was happening . G . Well, police would not speak totous. We trieded to gather information, but considering the emergency of the situation, it was not a priority to talk to us. But people that attended the game said they noticed right away, it was clearly not fireworks. In children were attending the games, soccer fans. Some of them were stuck on the pitch. They had just left about ten minutes ago, t ty had to wait way afterrhe end of the game to be a ae to evacuate and hopefully make it home safely. And there is beefedup Police Presence all around the capital. And i want to go back to matt olsen. The french newspaper is reporting that the alpha red plan which is in place in case of a multiattack, all places have been set on a high alert. Well, as brian mentioned, thth has the hallmarks of what we saw after 11, how seriously the french are taking it. And the situation at the bataclan concert hall, who is in control tactically in this situation . The french police, and they will coordinate with the military, to figure out the best way both to gather intelligence inside the theater, and how theyll go in. The key is a dynamic entry, where you get t side and surprise the bad guys. Thats going to be tricky inside a theater. But its key to know what theyre dealing with. But how can they possibly get that intelligence right now . Two ways. I suspect the Intelligence Community has already picked up some information, through wires and sources. And also, there are microcameras about the size of your finger, you drill in, and get a 360 view of thaha area. That technology. And i guarantee theyve already tried that. And they can do that without the hostage takers realizing its happening . They can do it. And you can feed it into the ventilation system, and listening devices, theyll also try to place those. Thats the real key, what do we have, and how can we neutralize it . . And all of paris in a state of alert. What kind of alerts will be triggered here at home as well . I think the fbi, Law Enforcement personnel, will be on alert. Certainly not on the scale of whats happening in but the real concern, will there be some sort of followon attack in this country . Certainly, theres a capability of groups like isis for small attacks. But the question, can they do it on that level in this country . Well be on alert over the next few days. And pierre thomas, youre spoken with the fbi head about this situation. Yes, and officials are in contact withheir french counterparts, trying to get additional information. And just in recent weeks, i had the chance to talk to a senior French National police official, and he talked about the fact that in france, there were dozens upon dozens of suspected islamic radicals they had to monitor. And he talked about the intense prprsure they were underervery day toe on alert for this kind of scenario. And its horrible to see it unfold tonight. And we saw in the Charlie Hebdo tragedy, some of them had been in the system and let out. Exactly. He talked about the difficulty to try to monitor all these people. And clearly, tonight, there was an intelligence failure. And this comes on the heels of the drone strike against jihadi john. True, but this was clearly months. Does the plan include other attacks in other locations and countries . This is a devastating attack on france. The country is shut down. A state of emergency, and they dont have a full handle yet on just how bad it is. And the french president saying, we must be united. Declared a state of emergency. And jon karl at the white house, the president doesnt have full information yet eieier . He made it very clear, we dont know exactly what was behind this. He said he didnt want to speculate. But also said, u. S. Authorities have been in touch with french authorities to offer whatever assistance we can. He has not called the french president yet, in the wake of the attack, because hes probably got much too much on his hands. But the United States stands by to offer whatever assistance. And the president told you, about the threat from isis, its largely been contained, the white house talking about a series of good developments in including the attack that apparently took out jihadi john. But the attack on the russian plane leaveingeing egypt, the attack on the plane leaving lebanon, and three attacks in france coming in short order. And the president said nsensus inside t t Intelligence Community is that isis is in some way responsible for the russian plane attack . They do believe the growing attack. If this also proves to be the same situation, it will confirm that isis has surpassed al qaeda as a threat around the world. Not necessarily because they can direct all of these attacks, they certainly have throrohout, as with the charlie hebdbd attack just ten months ago. And there are ongoing operations. This is not over by any means. An talk a little bit about where isis is most active. A base of operations in syria, in iraq. But they recruit heavily from the united kingdom, france, belgium, italy, have gone, heard the call, and gone to join, or have stayed back to fight in their home country. And Martha Raddatz now joininin us. U were recently in a ahan tanistan afghanistan. Isis on the rise there, too. And they talk about the vast areas, but still, people want to join isis. In afghanistan, theyre not sure theyre core isis, but theyre definitely being recruited, and definitely carrying out attacks there. This tonight, the thing that is most striking, is the clear coordination. A lot of people involved. You had the paris police, all of france on the lookout for these types of terrorist attacks. And t, these people, somehow, slipped throughghhe cracks. There are so many of them, you just cant stop them all. That is the real fear. And the president announcing the first coordinated attacks against isis, he said the goal was to destroy isis. Now, it apparently is containing them. Yes, and the strategy for destroying isis so far is largely military. The attacks in iraq, the attacks in syria, some in afghanistan as well. But these kinds of recrcrts, peoplele who will gout intnt a majojo city in the world and carry out these attacks, these are hard to stop. This is the real challenge, its not people who were in one place in iraq, in one place in syria. We had lots of people talking to us about iraq and syria today, saying theyre killing mid and highlevel isis leaders. One every couple of days. 75 since may. But that does not stop this kind of attack. Its a real Law Enforcement problem. And we s s the scene in papas, it appeared to see officials taking some bodies away. What can you tell us about the attack and who may be behind it . This is a major, sophisticate sophisticated attack. Bombings, shootings, hostage we havent seen anything like this, with the possible exception of the mumbai attack. And this is not sosothing that came in reaction too any eventnt this week. This was planned for weeks if not months in advance, and it comes after the russian airplane was downed in egypt, after a major bombing in beirut. The first in a long time, which appears to be an isis attack. So, this organization that weve heard about, the isis external branch, created to stage attacks outside of the area of iraq and syria, has now, this week, in the last week, staged its first three major attacks. We dont know that yet. But thats a r rl possibility. Brad garrett, the Police Outside that bataclan concert hall, how long will they let this go on . I think, once theyre able to figure out exactly what they do have, they may try to communicate with them. I would, to see if they can get some sort of dialogue going. But thats just to buy time. I think in the next two to three hours, you need to see an entry. Were going to wrap up for now. Right now, the situation in paris, dozensead after multiple shootings and explosions inn the f fnch capital. Some 60 people being held hostage, and the french president has spoken to them.
