Among the speakers frances counsel general and former ambassador to france craig stapleton. And the International Manhunt intensifies for the alleged eighth attacker, were hearing new details about the socalled mastermind behind the attacks. It comes as authorities believe one of the attackers posed as a refugee to slip in undetected to europe. Abcs brian ross has the latest. Reporter he is only 27, but hes risen rapidly through the ranks of isis to mastermind some of their biggest terror plots in europe. In this propaganda video, Abdelhamid Abaaoud asks, is there anything better than jihadism, than martyrdom . Officials believe he planned the paris attacks from isis headquarters in syria. Carrying out the direct orders of top isis leaders, who have set up a new unit to launch terror attacks in the west, with recruits separated into brigades by their nationality and language skills. This was planning a complicated operation, infiltrating Trained Personnel to do it and pulling it off across borders. Reporter the isis mastermind sent one of its attackers from syria, posing as a refugee, presenting this forged passport to greek officials just five weeks ago, and then making his way across europe to paris. Other attackers were handpicked in the masterminds hometown in that brussels neighborhood of molenbeek, where he traveled often. Narrowly escaping a police raid just this past january before he returned to syria. The mastermind selects and trains and motivates the suicide bombers, but he never kills himself. Reporter french Authorities Say they have no advance word of the attack, but at least two of the gunmen were known to french intelligence, and one of them had actually been charged with terrorconnected crimes and allowed to go free. Clearly the french government lost track of both of them. Brian ross, abc news, new york. And intelligence Officials Say part of the reason why it was difficult to track all of this is because they used belgium as a staging ground as as opposed to france where they are searching for all of these people. Some live pictures in the meantime from paris, fittingly you would say gray and rainy morning there in the capital. And as the country mourns we know the French Military announcing just a short time ago at least 16 bombs were used in the latest campaign. And targets, command centers and even Training Centers.

Authorities have identified this man Abdelhamid Abaaoud as the mastermind of the massacre.

He says he had no idea both of his brothers were terrorists. Again, one is still on the run and the other died during the attacks. Kendis and reena . Elizabeth, what do we know about the air strikes in syria overnight . Reporter the French Military just confirmed the news overnight, and what weve learned so far is that this latest round involved the command centers and the Training Centers as you noted earlier in the city of raqqah, known as the isis capital in syria. Of course, we should note this is coming on the heels of the french president declaring france is now at war with isis and his words, france will destroy isis. Francois hollande saying they will be pitiless. Thanks for joining us. The attacks in paris sparked a bitter debate over americas Syrian Refugee Program now opposed by half the nations governors. The gop president ial candidates. President obama who just arrived in the philippines for the big apec summit is standing his ground on welcoming the refugees. Heres abc arlette sands. Reporter on capitol hill, a moment of silence for the attacks in paris. In memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks in france. Reporter a somber break from the heated rhetoric on the campaign trail. Is this a trojan horse . Weve got a cub scout for commander in chief. Reporter republican candidates blasting president obama for his plan to admit 10,000 Syrian Refugees to the u. S. Concerns mounting over whether one of the paris attackers entered france as a refugee. At least one and probably more of the killer, the animals that did what they did in paris came out of the migration. Reporter more than two dozen governors are refusing to take in Syrian Refugees and some 2016 candidates want to prioritize allowing christians into the u. S. Our focus ought to be on the christians who have no place in syria anymore. Reporter but president obama says thats unamerican. When i hear political leaders suggesting there would be a religious test for which person who is fleeing from a wartorn country is admitted, thats shameful. Thats not american. Thats not who we are. Reporter across the u. S. , security is on high alert. In washington, d. C. , security heightened on at monuments, k9 teams in the metro system just as a new isis video promises an attack on the Nations Capital. I want you to know that our city is coordinating at the highest levels. Reporter the Intelligence Community says theres no specific imminent threat against the u. S. , but cia director john brennan has warned isis may be preparing attacks following the tragedy in paris. Arlet, were getting rhetoric about this from the politicians. But do the governors actually have a real light to block refugees from entering their states . Reporter well, the answer is essentially no. Its actually the federal government, not the states that determines whether a refugee can be admitted to the country. So those two dozen governors dont have a legal right to keep refugees out of their states but experts say the governors can try to make it difficult for refugees by either cutting funding or denying services to them. Kendis and reena. Arlet sands reporting live from washington. Thank you so much. And as elizabeth mentioned earlier, the French Air Force is conducting a second round of air strikes on the isis stronghold of raqqah, in syria, of course. One of its Aircraft Carriers will soon be positioned off syrias coast. Martha raddatz takes us inside the campaign. Reporter the response from the French Air Force has been strong and swift. French fighter jets pounding targets in the isis stronghold of raqqah, bombing an isis command post, training camp, recruiting center. But this is not a real increase in bombing. These are isis targets that may have already been on a list or strike package for weeks. So, why not strike when they were first on the list . They would wait for them to be populated, to have a class there in training, to have a group there being recruited. Reporter but when paris was attacked, the u. S. Stepped aside and let the french go after the targets as retaliatory strikes. Its not known whether there were isis fighters inside. As for the overall military strategy, nothing is changing. The president adamant about not adding combat ground troops. We have the right strategy and were going to see it through. Reporter isis is believed to have between 20,000 to 30,000 fighters and oil fields that generate about 40 million per month. For the first time the u. S. Targeted on isis fuel trucks. More than 100 of them, used to smuggle oil to finance military and terrorists operations. But those, too, have been on the target list for a while. Martha raddatz, abc news, washington.
