Has ended. Overnight French Police and special forces raided an apartment in a planned operation in connection with last weeks attacks in paris. This is the scene earlier. [ gunshots ] shortly after multiple explosions. Nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent and his team were able to capture this video, as police with weapons drawn searched cars. Two suspects are dead. Including a woman who debt nato a suicide vest in the apartment. Officials say the target was ab del hamid abboud, the alegend master mind behind last weeks attacks. This all happened after two air france flights had to be diverted after both received bomb threats. More on that in a moment. And first or correspondent in the area. What is the latest . Reporter the raid is over. The operation is over. However there is still activity ongoing. Special services now securing the area. Just in the past few minutes weve heard from the french prosecutor and the interior minister who talked a little more about this raid. They said they had intel on abboud and thought they might find him inside this Apartment Building and that is why they launched this raid in the dark of night 4 30 a. M. Paris time. There was gunfire, explosions, no time to evacuate the neighbo. We understand that one of the suspects or one person inside did blow herself up with a suicide vest. One other person apparently killed in the operation. Five arrested inside that building. Two others arrested outside. The french Prosecutor Says it is too soon to say whether abboud is among those who were arrested. Now all of this it is french media are now reporting yet another planned attack. Another attack was planned that is, for the defoncses area. The red cross has a Counseling Center nearby. There are about thirty people who have already gone in for counseling. People in this neighborhood clearly traumatized by what they have seen and heard overnight. It happened in a very crowded area in the middle of the night. Thank you so much for that report. And a fierce political battle at home over allowing Syrian Refugees to enter the u. S. More than half are now protesting. And now president obama is lashing out. I cannot think of a more more potent recruitment tool for isil than some of the rhetoric thats been coming out of here during the course of this debate. Nbcs ron allen is in the philippines for the apec summit. Ron, who is the president calling out here . Reporter the president has spoken out very passionately about this. Hes calling out anybody who is basically saying that the United States should close its door to the Syrian Refugees. Republican governors, there are more than thirty who said they would op up in the states. And other candidates on the. Governor christie said he would not let children in. And governor cruz said there should be a test. And only christians not muslims should be allowed in. And he said its playing to peoples fears and to peoples panic. The administration has been pointing out at this moment there are only about 2200 Syrian Refugees into the United States. They intend to let as many as 10,000 in next year. Half of the refugees here are children. And they also point out that before anyone is admitted into this country there is a very stringent vetting process that takes 1824 months before anyone is let in, especially from syria because of what is going on where there are enhanced security measures. So while that debate goes on the administration has also been pointing out some of the voices are people who are saying that to defeat the russians or get them to cooperate and defeat isis only takes a little more tough talk. On that front the United States has been getting help in the war. The french have really ramped up their game. The russians have also been involved now that they have determined that commercial airliner was brought down by a bomb. The question is whether the russians are actually attacking isis or trying to prop up bashar al assad. Back to you. Lots of controversy there. Thank you so much. Late last night, two air france from the u. S. To france were forced to make emergency landings after receiving phon phonedin bomb threats after takeoff. One was diverted to Halifax Nova Scotia and the other was dive diverted to salt lake city. Both flights landed safely and there were no reports of injuries or arrests. The planes were safely inspected and cleared to resume their flights. And attacks against the raqqah stronghold in syria. This after russia announce they had a bomb brought down plane earlier this month killing all 224 people on board. Russian president putin has vowed to find them wherever they are hiding. Saying we will find them any place on earth and punish them. Russia has offered a 50 million reward for information leading to those responsible. And in his announcement yesterday he said running is an honor but this is not my time. There are 14 left. And ben carson is defending his Foreign Policy credentials in the meantime. And last night carson fired back to say one of them isnt really an advisor but he admitted he is on the learning curve. I know a lot more than i know a year from now. And in medicine we have continuing medical education. You have to get those credits in order to be recertified. I think that applies to every aspect of our lives, particularly in a rapidly changing world. When it comes to dealing with terrorism aft the paris attacks, voters rank carson outside the top five. The answer none was the top selection but donald trump and Hillary Clinton finished tied, way ahead of the other candidates. And a Service EmployeesInternational Union which represents two million workers is endorsing Hillary Clinton. It is a blow to Bernie Sanders who needs the support of organized labor. And parts of the country have been getting hit hard by powerfully storms. In denver severe know and wind are making for white out conditions. And in he was strong wind caused trees to come down, causing damage to homes and some without power. One storm, and another in the northwest and this huge wind storm in the northwest and Northern Rockies overnight and yesterday. Why so windy . For the most part there are two huge areas of high pressure. And then this storm in the middle coming up to the north emerging with a storm that went through southern canada. These three systems have combined for very windy times. Almost like springtime. Some of the winds in the mountains were 70 and even close to a hundred Miles Per Hour at the highest peaks. Bismarck. This is just a wind storm literally going through. And we start the day with anywhere around 50 Miles Per Hour winds. And that storm system will be on the move across southern canada and the pressure filling in is what will be causing the winds especially in the dakotas and eventually minneapolis and chicago. Not quite as extreme as it was in the mountains. So were notf las vegas. New york city has been warmer than las vegas so far in the month of november. So it continues to be cool in the west but were not looking at the rain anymore. And more bad weather coming. Bill, thank you so much for that.
