People and injured 300 more. The perpetrators were linked to the group that carried out the november 2015 paris attacks. Last june three suspected isis suicide bombers targeted the International Terminal of istanbuls airport killing at least 36 people. Last July Bastille day, a man driving a truck killed 84 people injuring 434 others in nice, france. Isis claimed responsibility for that. In all, at least 165 People Killed in acts of terror in europe last year. Todays attack highlights concerns about lowtech attacks on soft targets, and there are many in the bay area. The iteams dan noyes interviewed San Franciscos fbi top counterterrorism agent today. Dan joins us now with the latest. Larry and ama, this is the type of attack that keeps counterterrorism officials up at night. Someone driving an suv and wielding a knife is very difficult to detect and very difficult to stop. I spoke with the head of the fbis counterterror efforts here. He didnt want to talk about the soft targets we have, the tourist saufpots, but he tells the threat is real. On some level it must be somewhat frustrating that it doesnt take an elaborate plot, that it can be something as simple as an suv and a knife. And that is the scary part about it. That is why we try to get ahead of that threat. We call it left of boom. Thats why we rely on the community to notify us when there is a potential threat of terror activity. Youve heard the expression see something, say something. A neighbor talking about an attack, strange smells or sounds coming from a house, call the police. While london investigators are trying to nail down the motive and who was behind the attack, craig fair tells me it follows a recent push by isis to wreak havoc by any means necessary. So how do you stop attacks on soft targets here . I pick up that important question with the fbi coming up on abc 7 news at 5 00. It seems like a near Impossible Task because theres so many targets everywhere. Catch it beforehand, thats the key. Well see you at 5 00. Thank you, dan.

The owner of a popular vintage Clothing Store has been charged with selling clothing made from the skins of endangered animals. Cecily hanson appeared in court today and vic lee is in the newsroom with the story. Larry, Cecily Hanson was charged with nine counts of intent to sell parts of endangered animals. The d. A. Says she did normal business in the main section of her store, but he says she had a back room operation where she sold the illegal items to discreet highend clients. The raid happened in february of last year after an undercover operation here at the popular vintage Clothing Store, decades of fashion. Federal and state game wardens seized 150 items which they determined were from endangered animals. Leopard, jaguar, oselot. Endangered turtles. Reporter hanson today appeared in court for arraignment. She told me she had no attorney and planned to defend herself and that she was innocent. Hanson showed me a photograph of her mother wearing a leopard skin coat, the kind of item which she said was part of her collection and which she presumed was legal. Anything that was done before 1972 was considered vintage. In court, the judge advised her to get an attorney. She said she wochuld. The arraignment was postponed. The possession of a body part or endangered species for sale with the intent to sell is against the law. He says it would have been okay for hanson to own the confiscated items, but adds they were for sale. The warden was actually able to try a leopard coat that was offered for sale for 4500. Hansons defense . I was totally unaware of that and so this is not intentional. Now, if hanson is convicted, she faces four years and six months jail time and a 45,000 fine. She comes back to Court Next Month to be arraigned, presumably this time with a lawyer. Vic lee, abc 7 news. She is charged only with misdemeanors, no felonies. You would think for this kind of a crime and given the number of items that were seized, were talking 150 items, these would be felonies. Thats right, but what she go was the absolute maximum charge prosecutors can give. At least thats what d. A. George gascon tells us, there are no felonies for the sale of endangered animals, only misdemeanors. Strange, right, but that is the law. Tuition is on the rise for some college students.

Wayne freedman has the story from novato. Reporter the novato unified School District, another call to class, another day of mostly unspoken concerns for certain students who come from the figurative shadows. Theyre really scared. Reporter third grade teacher libby has at least one child of undocumented immigrants in their class. Theyre worried that their moms are going to be sent back or their dads are going to be sent back. Reporter hence this joint memorandum from both the School District and the Police Department. Its going home to all families in the statement. A restatement of immigration policies signed by the superintendent and police chief. Immigration only offenses are not the role of the local police. So basically if theyre in schools, theyre going to be safe. Reporter the memorandum is an unprecedented move. It would be very unexpected in most School Districts, but this one is a little different. Almost half the students in the novato unified School District come from homes where english is a second language. I think the police and the School People have more things to do than that. Reporter in a county that cast only 16 of its vote for donald trump, no one who disagreed with the policy cared to talk about it on camera anyway. Freddie did talk, however. Hes an undocumented immigrant supporting a family and three children in guatemala. Does he trust the Novato Police . I trust more here than san jose or richmond police. Reporter police say trust is the issue. Without trust, they say, the undocumented would not report crimes against them and truly be victimized. In schools, its more simple than that. They call it a mantra. I dont want to know. I dont care. Any kid comes to our school, were going to educate them. Reporter every day they can. In novato, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. The battle over the proliferation of Rideshare Services has now reached an elite San Francisco school. Abc 7 news anchor kristen sze is here with what the urban school is doing to try to ensure safety as more students use those services. Well, the urban school is an elite private high school in San Francisco. On any given morning, some Students Walk to school, others take the bus, but more and more rely on Rideshare Services like uber and lyft. So much so the school put your signs this morning saying no rideshare on this block. No pickup or drop off on page street between masonic and ashbury. Now heres a view of that blocking question using google earth. Now, urban is down here and below that, that street, that is where they dont want Rideshare Services. Urban did not want to go on camera but did issue this statement. These services tend to stop right in the middle of the block, often on the very busy crosswalk that connects our two campuses, creating major safety issues. Now, San Francisco police tell us traffic and parking rules need to be applied evenly to all. It doesnt matter who the driver is. So this is more of an internal ask as opposed to something the city or police can enforce. The urban school clarifies to abc 7 news rideshare cars are welcome to use an established dropoff zone in front of the school just like private vehicles as long as they follow the rules and dont stop in random places.

Reporter one airline is already enforcing this. The other airlines are said to be working on their compliance plans, as we learn more about the alarming intelligence that led to this order. The restrictions on electronics on u. S. Bound flights from eight middle eastern and northern african countries are based on new intelligence about isis.
