Fearful of police raids carried out in molenbe, a local man says there is growing resentment amongst the large Muslim Community living there as they feel stigmatized. You have 100,000 people, he said, who will live as if they were potential suspects of terrorism. Because of the concern that the policece cradown could backfire as the immunity feels abandoned. They are residents of molenbeek, he said, place in which jihadis and suicide bombers are believed to lurk, so for their own safety.

In our cbs news poll out tonight, 36 of americans approve of president obamas handling of terrorism. That is down from 72 right after u. S. Forces killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. Only 23 of americans believe the president has a clear plan for dealing wit isis. His strategy includes air strikes in iraq and syria, and david martin tells us the latest targets include oil. Reporter two air strikes, the most recent over the weekend, have destroyed almost 500 tanker trucks isis uses to smuggle oil and sell it on the black market. By one estimate, the attacks have destroyed roughly half the trucks isis uses to bring in 1 million a day in revenues. Until now the u. S. Has not gone after the tankers for fear of killing the civilian drivers. In these strikes, u. S. Planes the drivers. And then they conducted runs to scare them away. The u. S. Has also loosened the rules on civilian casualties. Previously a strike would be called off if any civilians were spotted in the area. For these, more than fiviv civilians had totoe in the target area beforerehe strike would be called off. The french have now begun launching strikes against isis from an Aircraft Carrier in the eastern mediterranean. The russians have fired a total of 42 cruise missiles against isis targets in syria. Cutting off oil revenues will degrade isis, but the quickest way to defeat it on the battlefield is to seize its capital of raqqa in syria. The red line o this pentagon map shows how close u. S. Backed fighters are to raqqa, just 30 miles to the north and 100 miles to the east. U. S. Officials say the fighters to the north dont have enough combat power to take raqqa and the fighters to the east must first push south to seize a key road junction before advancing on raqqa. The fighters will be assisted by 50 American Green beret, but they are not expected to get there until next month. Think of it as a race against time, scott. Can. S. Backed fighters seize raqqa before isis can launch anher terrorist attack against the west . Pelley david martin reporting from the pentagon tonight. David, thank you.
