And now to the new terror warning weve heard about tonight. Abc news has learned of signs that terrorists in syria and yemen are trying to create explosives that can be smuggled onto a plane as everyday items. They hope passengers with u. S. Passports will be carrying them. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tells us what he is learning now. Reporter intelligence sources tell abc news that in lawless parts of wartorn syria, Al Qaedaaffiliated terrorists from around the world are now joining forces, trying to build bombs that are virtually undetectable by airport security. One official now calls syria the new university for terrorism training and bombmaking. Sources say the radicals are trying to create nonmetallic bombs that could be hidden in everyday objects, molded into toothpaste, woven into clothing or placed in cosmetics. The fear among intelligence officials is that one of the thousands of foreign fighters in syria, many of them from western countries, could try to smuggle one of these new generation bombs onto a plane headed for europe or the u. S. This is exactly the kind of threat that keeps me up at night. Reporter for instruction, some of the most ruthless elements in syria have turned to al qaeda in yemen proven innovative bombmakers. Thats the group that designed the infamous underwear bomb which slipped on to a u. S. Bound airliner on christmas day, 2009, but failed to fully detonate. Since then, the Intelligence Community fears the bombmakers have become even more sophisticated. This collection, this Relationship Building you see around the world, thats why those of us who do this for a living are so concerned about the Security Threat to the united states. Still very concerned, as we talked before about syria as a breeding ground and a staging ground for terrorist groups. Reporter while no specific plot has been identified, tonight the Intelligence Community is redoubling its efforts to track any foreign fighters moving in and out of syria. I wondered, how confident are american intelligence officials that they know how many u. S. Passports are out there . Its an intensive campaign to track the 70 to 100 americans who have gone into syria, those who come home are on various levels of investigation and surveillance. But the fbi director this week expressed concern that some americans may be slipping into syria undetected and thats a real worry. All right, Pierre Thomas with what hes learning tonight.

S. Secretary of state john kerry telling abcs Alex Marquardt that america will no longer fight iraqs war. So you have to look to iraq, to its government, its military, to be able to make the decisive difference here. Reporter theyll need to do it quickly. At least 1,000 iraqis have already been killed in a month. And this fight promises only more bloodshed. Hamish macdonald, baghdad.
