In the weeee following the terrorist atttack in San Bernardino. Federal ents have taken several suspects into custody. National corresondent jeff barnd is tracking what the f b i has been up to. 3 8 days after the terrorist attack in san rnardino california, across the country in minneapolis, minnesota, fbi agents took Abdirizak Mohamed warsame into custody on charges related to terrorism. Was it a knee jerk reaction to tamp americans growing fears of another terrorist strike on u. S. Soil . [katharine gorka, Counter Terrorism expert]if theres pressure now to have arrests to see isis slowdown in this country, i think that is a good thing. [jeff barnd connection to the san bernrndino massacre, but he was the first of a handful of suspected isis sympathizers the fbi arrested in the weeks following the attack. [michael greenberger director, university of Maryland Center for Health Homeland security] post San Bernardino, its been a wakeup call to intensify all measures that can be done to thwart these attacks. Fbi agents have now picked up suspects in places like edgewoog, maryland, and harrisburg, pennsylvania. And if one looks back to november, there have been six arrests in all over the past six weeks. Counter terrorism expert katharare gorka says law enforcment, on average, makes about 3 and a half terrorist related arrests each month so there has been an uptick. [katharine gorka, Counter Terrorism expert]you dont want to be too alarmist, you dont want to get people all nervous about the threat, but at the same time, if you donn present a realistic picture of the threat, one of the outcomes is local police will not be prepared. President obama noted media saturation of terror threats in a recent National Public radio interview [president barack obama]if you have been last month, all you have been seeing, all you have been hearing about, is these guys with masks or black flags who are potentially coming to get ya.

Im jeff barnd reporting. 3 he was once near the top of the republican field. But lately ben carsons support has been free fallingwhat the candidate himself is doing to try and win back voters support. 3 ben carson is spending the holidays with his family in maryland. And earlier today in an exclusive interview today, he sat down with reporter jeff abell from our sister station in baltimore to discuss his recent slide in the polls and possible changes which could be coming to his campaign. 3 audio were still in a reasonable spot. At his maryland home. Republican ben carson says he understands his sudden slide in the president ial polls. I think after the episode in paris and in San Bernardino where terrorism became national issues, the narrative that i didnt know anything about them was harmful. Its not true. I know plenty about numbers have caused carson to take a top to bottom review of his own campaign. Everything is on the table he says. Personnel changes could be next. We are looking at our organization. We are looking at efficiencies. We are making sure all the salaries are in line with the average salaries. I mean we dont ever claim to be perfect and we always have to be in the process of improving. Despite reports that his campaign has recently spent more funds than it received. Carson insists the campaign on sound financial ground. We have several milliuon dollars stored away and we have eveything we need to continue this campaign. Continuing the campaign means the former neurosurgeon must regain voter confidence especially when it comes to foreign policy. They want you to think that only experienced politicans can solve your problems but if you really want to be objective youll politicians whove created most of our problems. For now, carson is taking the reins of his campaign and vowingngo claw his way back. Im jeff abell, reporting. 3 bowl season is underway as boise state and Northern Illinois took the field in the poinsettia bowl. See who put on an offensive display. And the timberwolves welcome tim duncans spurs team that has won 5 championships since 1999. See if they could pull an upset. Chris is next with sports. 3 hello. Im mark hyman. A chainsaw is a valuable tool in cutting down trees. But using it the wrong way could case serious injury. Or death. Misusing any tool can have negative consequences. Profiling is a valuable tool in intelligence and law enforcement. Unfortunately, it has been abused. Some Police Officers have stopped driving while black. This isnt just illegal. Is unconstitutional. But dont end profiling because some have abused it. Emerging evidence suggests antiterrorism officials overlooked or perhaps ignored warning signs regarding the San Bernardino husband and wife terror team. The man brought home from saudi arabia a woman who was essentially an internet bride. Us officials approved her visa in spite of giving a fake address and posting social media comments favorable toward violent islamic jihad. Shshalso had ties to a radical cleric. And a notorious mosque. Saudi arabia and her birth country,. Pakistan,. Have both produced countless islamic jihadists. All of these are clear warning signs. Yet there are suggestions federal authorities avoid any behavior that might be profiling of muslims. So they ignore obvious warning signs of those most likely to engage in violent islamic jihad. Or they go to the other extreme and treat eeryone as if they are this makes the entire terror3 screening process bloated,. Unmanageable. And ineffective. Ofiling might have prevented the San Bernardino terror attack. To comment, go to behind the headlines dot net. Im mark 3 3 3 ever since the San Antonio Spurs drafted big man tim duncan with the number one overall pick in 1997, theyve been the sort of model franchise that the timberwolves would love to be. With five championships to show for it theyre a team thats relevant every year. Well the t wolves have the last two number one picks on their roster.

But the hawkeyes will have a week to prepare for them. After last nights victory head coach Fran Mccaffery talked about playing them as well as number 14 purdue to start off big ten play. 3 we always kind of look at it like this. You gotta play those people at some point. You play em early you play em late it doesnt matter. Youre still playing 18 really tough games. Against really good teams. Those two are particularly talented. If you look at where theyre ranked you enter into conference play you recognize a challenge. And well do anything we can to get everybody ready. 3 the vikings clinch a playoff spot with a victory over the giants sunday night. They could also clinch a playoff spot before kickoff. You see, a loss or tie by atlanta against carolina would get it done. A seattle win or tie at home against saint louis would too. But no matter what this game is huge because a win sets up a battle for the Division Title at Lambeau Field against the packers s next week. And the home playoff game that would come with it. Head coach mike zimmer is crossing his fingers that his running back Adrian Peterson will be ready to go sunday. 3 we want to run the football. And we want to be efficient throwing the ball. I dont particularly see us as a team thats going to be throwing the ball every play. Its just not who we are and built how think you can see when 3 we are effective throwing the football how much better we can be offensively. As a reminder we will have that carolina and atlanta game on our sister station kpth fox 44 at noon sunday. Thats instead of the vikings, giants game that was flexed into nbcs sunday night football game. We were scheduled to have the bears and bucs game but since that one has no playoff implications the switch to the falcons and panthers was made. 3 the vikings wont have to worry about covering giants record setting receiver Odell Beckham junior. Bekchams appeal of a one game suspension following his fracas with panthers corner josh norman has been denied by the league. So he officially wont ay against the vikings. No receiver in nfl history has more yards than beckham through their first full 16 games of their career. 3 siouxland news and notes now dordt Senior Center mycah hulst has been named the gpac huaff mid america sports the week.
