This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. This is our western edition. Tonight, the United States and its arab allies are keeping up the aerial assault on isis terrorists in syria for a third night. The u. S. Military reports 12 targets were hit in these latest attacks, five by u. S. Aircraft, seven by arab planes. David martin at the pentagon is telling us that all but one of the targets were oil refineries, in iraq today, as well, and at the united nations, president obama asked the world to join the war. Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett was there. There can be no reasoning, no negotiations with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. So the United States of america will work with a Broad Coalition to dismantle this network of death. His network of death. Reporter two days after launching an air campaign against isis targets in syria, the president warned isis soldiers to leave the battlefield while they can. Those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find theyre increasingly alone, for we will not succumb to threats, and we will demonstrate the future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy. Reporter five arab nations have joined the u. S. In airstrikes against syria, yet mr. Obama pressed them to do more. He scolded countries that have ignored or sometimes even facilitated extremist activities. It is time for a new compact among civilized people of this world to eradicate war at its most fundamental source and that is the corruption of young mind by violent ideology. That means cutting off the funding that fuels this hate. Its time to end the hypocrisy of those who accumulate wealth globally and and then siphon fund to those who teach children to tear it down. Reporter the Treasury Department announced today it would block access to financing for two isis commanders and six other regional terrorists. Will those in favor of the draught resolution please raise their hand. Reporter and the u. N. Security Council Unanimously approved a resolution requiring member nations to stop the flow of foreign fighters and funds to isis. Mr. Obama called for swift followthrough. Promises on paper cannot keep us safe. Lofty rhetoric and good intentions will not stop a single terrorist attack. The words spoken here today must be matched and translated into action. Reporter the president said the world is at a crossroads in its fight not only against isis but all forms of violent islamic extremism. And, scott, the president s top advisers admit the president was at a crossroads, too, and he needed this speech to compensate, they say, for a summer of sometimes failing to project strong u. S. Leadership. Pelley major, thanks very much. Pelley major, thanks very much. You know, we noticed today the president didnt mention khorasan. Yesterday he said the al qaeda offshoot is plotting against the United States. Khorasan targets were hit in syria on monday. The name khorasan is persian and it refers to the glory days of the islamic expansion in the seventh century. We asked bob orr to find out what theyre up to these days. Reporter sources say the threat from the Khorasan Group began building as syrias civil war was expanding in 2012. Thats when u. S. And foreign intelligence first tracked a small number of senior al qaeda terrorists as they moved from afghanistan and pakistan into syria. Khorasan soon imported dozens of additional operatives from wide ranging terror cells in chechnya, iraq, iran, yemen, and north africa. Khorasan found sanctuary with al qaedas syriabased affiliate alnusra. And as nusra battled to carve out operating space, khorasan took advantage of that safe haven to begin plotting external attacks against europe and the United States. Sources say khorasan, with the help of al qaeda bomb makers, is working on developing concealable explosives that could be smuggled aboard airplanes. And khorasans actively recruiting jihadis with western passports as potenial operatives to conduct attacks in their home countries. It was this threat that prompted the t. S. A. In july to tighten security for u. S. Bound flights from foreign airports. Cell phones and laptops with dead batteries were banned for fear the devices could be used to hide bombs. In carrying out this weeks airstrikes, the pentagon claimed it had disrupted imminent attack plotting by khorasan, and Officials Say the group did have all the pieces in place to soon move to an execution phase. But intelligence sources say no attack was on the immediate horizon. Khorasan had not yet selected targets or launched operatives. Now, the u. S. Airstrikes did considerable damage. Pentagon officials said, in fact, the bombs and missiles hit every intended target. Khorasans plotting has clearly been disrupted, but sources say, scott, theres no reason to think the threat has been eliminated. Pelley bob orr in our washington newsroom, bob, thank you. Today, iran ruled out cooperating with the United States in the battle against isis. Cbs this morning cohost charlie rose asked president Hassan Rouhani if he thinks the u. S. Led coalition will be successful. translated it is not clear for us what they are seeking a theater for public consumption, or theyre after a tangible, a real objective in the region . It is not Crystal Clear for us, but what i can tell you unequivocally, no terrorist group can be eradicated and destroyed through aerial bombardment. Reporter but no one believes that. No one believes that. The United States dont believe that, the arab countries dont believe that, that are supporting the United States. They understand that. Thats why theyre focusing on the training of the Free Syrian Army syrians to combat the terrorists in their own country. translated so in other words, they want to put more fuel on the existing fire. Reporter no, they want to destroy the terrorists. translated this is not the way, sir. The way to combat terrorism, sir, is not for us to give birth to another terrorist group in order to stand up against an existing terrorist group. These are the series of mistakes that have composed the rings of the chain that have taken us from where we were to where we are today. We must accept the realities. We cannot organize armed groups of fighters in order to reach our objectives. Pelley charlie rose with the president of iran. There will be more on isis tomorrow on cbs this morning. Norah odonnell will talk to prince turki alfaisal, saudi arabias former ambassador to the United States. Saudi arabia near the Turkish Border and that is where we find Holly Williams. We found leyla today sitting in the dust leaving her home and village, which is now captured by isis. She ran for her life on saturday with all the belongings she could carry, and shes now safe in turkey. But like 150,000 other syrians who have streamed across this border over the last week, she has nowhere to go. And leyla told us she wants the u. S. To help. What do you want america to do . I just want the americans to defeat isis, to push them out, she said, so that we can go back home. The u. S. Was determined to stay out of syrias bloody civil war, already in its fourth year. But now america has been drawn into the conflict by isis militants and their violent form of islamic rule. The u. S. Led strikes against isis, though, are limited and syrians who are suffering at the hands of the islamic extremists want america to do much more. Khalil gazi, a blacksmith from the town of karbani, brought his family to turkey two days ago. Today, with hundreds of other syrian men, he lined up at the border to go back and fight against isis. Theyre not humans. Theyre killers, khalil told us. Come and bomb them, obama, and god bless you. The u. S. Led airstrikes have so far failed to stop the advance of isis. Theyve targeted places like barracks and storage and training facilities, but, scott, actually flushing the isis militants out of the towns and cities theyve occupied might be impossible because the risk of civilian casualties is simply too high. Pelley Holly Williams along syrias northern border with turkey. Holly, thanks very much. From virginia, a man charged with kidnapping in the disappearance of a university of virginia student has been taken into custody. Police say Jesse Leroy Matthew was the last person seen with hanna graham, a sophomore who went missing 11 days ago. Police had questioned matthew last week but he stopped cooperating and the police had been trying to track him down. Award of 100,000. To find hanna. And we are asking every person within the sound of my voice to help us find hanna graham, as i said to many of you today, we made that commitment to mr. And mrs. Graham, and we have made that commitment on behalf of an entire community and we hope that you will continue to work hard on this case, this case is nowhere near over. We have a person in custody but there is a long road ahead of us and that includes finding hanna graham. Graham. Today a prosecutor said nascar superstar tony stewart will not Face Criminal Charges in the death of another driver. Don dahler had a look at the evidence. Reporter the incident happened during a dirt track race in canandaigua, new york, on the evening of august 9, kevin ward jr. And tony stewart were racing closely into a turn when ward spun out. The 20yearold driver got out of his car and angrily pointed towards stewart. One car managed to swerve around ward before stewart hit him. Oh, he hit him reporter Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo says visual evidence was important. While the videos actually did not demonstrate any aberrational driving by tony stewart until the point of impact with kevin ward. Reporter according to the d. A. , ward had enough marijuana in his system to be impaired. The fact that kevin ward was observed running basically down twothirds of the track into a sit track in the middle of other cars that were still racing played a big, big factor in their decision. Reporter the driver of the car that missed ward was called to testify, along with other yeivers, racetrack employees, and accident reconstruction experts. Stewarts reputation for angry outbursts on and off the track helped fuel speculation that the death was no accident. It took nearly three weeks before stewart spoke publicly. This has been one of the toughest tragedies ive ever had to deal with, both professionally and personally, and this is something that will definitely affect my life forever. Tony stewart cheers and applause reporter two days later, the returned to racing. After todays decision, stewart issued a statement saying the attention should not be on him, but on remembering the young man who lost his life. But, scott, kevin wards mother told us on the phone moments ago this matter is not at rest, and they will pursue all remedies in fairness to her son. Pelley don, thank you very vech.

The Social Security administration was then seizing tax refunds from people whose relatives owed the government said it would stop, but did it . We asked Wyatt Andrews to check. Reporter we first met mary grice in april after her tax refund of almost 3,000 had been confiscated, she said, without notice. It turned out Social Security had seized her refund, claiming her family received too much in death benefits after grices father died in 1960. Grice was five years old at the time, says she never got a penny, and calls the loss of her refund an injustice. They feel that were the government. We can do what we want, however we want, whenever we want, and its its its so unfair. Reporter grice was the target of what Social Security calls its treasury offset program, which allows it to seize old debt. Officials believe that debt older than ten years total 714 million and needs to be collected. But when grices story went public, Social Security announced an immediate halt to further referrals on decadesold debt, and said in a statement it would never try to collect the debt of a persons relative. We found several taxpayers who say Social Security is doing just that, taking refunds without evidence the debt is theirs. Heres what happened to diana vonderacht of new jersey i asked them to give me checks with signatures because i could show them that i didnt sign these checks. They dont have any checks. They have no proof. Reporter Social Security said in a statement, we do provide documentation of the alleged overpayments, but john jones of maryland who lost a 3,100 refund saved a voice mail from a Social Security worker warning him not to expect any documents. When mary grice complained last spring, Social Security at first paid her back, but last month, it sent this letter saying she still owes the debt. Well, you havent explained to me why i owe you 2,996. And i have no intentions of paying it until you do. Reporter Social Security tells us the old Debt Collection process remains under review, but, scott, five taxpayers have sued to stop the program all together. Pelley wyatt, thanks very. Uch.

Nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides.
