This morning we are learning more about a failed mission to rescue american journalist james foley and other hostages held in syria. Early this summer two dozen u. S. Special Operations Forces were dropped in Northern Syria by heavily armed blackhawk helicopters. Four hostages including foley were thought to be in an oil refinery controlled by isis, but the prisoners were not there. Michelle sigona is in new york. Good morning, annemarie. The secret nighttime mission was authorized by president obama because it was believed the hostages were in danger. On the ground the u. S. Forces exchanged fire with isis militants. One american commando was injured. The rest returned safely. The mission to try to rescue foley and the others was revealed after isis posted a gruesome video of his execution. It was believed foley and the others were being held together based on information from freed hostages who had seen them, but the hostages werent there. We rely on cellular traffic. We dont always pick up those indicators, that kind of information. And so because of that we had to the intelligence wasnt great. They took a risk. Clearly in some ways i think theyll always err on the side of trying to rescue those individuals again with great confidence in their equipment and knowing in the terrain whats going on. Reporter the exact location of the hostages remains unknown. Isis demanded ransom for foleys release, and it was just a week ago that foleys family received a taunting email from isis saying they were going kill him. They knew jim was innocent. Theyre very ruthless. They knew jimmy was a symbol of goodness in america. The best in america. Reporter foleys parents say he was a courageous and fearless journalist. Isis said it killed him in retaliation for u. S. Air strikes. The u. S. Launched a barrage of new airstrikes in iraq yesterday despite isiss threat to kill another american. President obama called foleys beheading an act of violence that shocked the entire world. Isol speaks for no religion. The victims are overwhelmingly muslim and no faith teaches people to massacre innocent. No just god would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day. Reporter fbi director james comey took it a step further call the isis militants savages. They will be brought to justice. The administration said it never intended to disclose the rescue mission but went public because it was about to be reported. For now another rescue attempt appears unlikely. Annemarie . Michelle sigona here in new york. Thank you, michelle. The Obama Administration is not totally ruling out a military operation against the militants who killed james foley, but isis is growing and expanding its reach. Holley williams has more on its goals and tactics. Reporter in the gruesome video showing james foleys murder, his executioner speaks with a british accent. This is james foley, an american citizen of your country. Reporter to recruit more young muslims from the west, isis released this propaganda video in june featuring three british men who encouraged others to join them and sacrifice their lives for islam. Look around you when you sit in comfort and ask yourselves, is this how you want to die. Reporter in a violent rampage beginning two months ago, isis extended its territory from syria into northern iraq. It ruled with brutality and fear publicly executing those who offend its strict version of islamic lore. What makes isis unusual as a terror group is the ambition of its leaders. In the land they control they set up what they call an islamic state, and now theyre busy making the money they need to fund it. This video from syria shows an isis fighter policing a local market. The group levies taxes and even sells gasoline and electricity. U. S. Officials say isis is now selfsustaining and is probably making tens of millions of dollars with criminal activity like extorsion and smuggling. In a kurdish town just across the board from syria, we met a gentleman who fought against the militants in syrias chaotic civil war. They had more money than we do, he told us, and they also have better guns, more tanks, and more missiles. Thats part of the attraction for some young muslims, and theyve found joining isis is simple. We watched in december as Syrian Refugees crossed into turkey by climbing through this wire border fence, then these three men who locals told us were fighters slipped past us and into the war zone. Intelligence officials worry that young european muslims who have been recruited by isis will be ticking time bombs when they return and they could also be a threat to america because those who carry british and some other european passports can enter the u. S. Without a visa. Holley williams, cbs news, istanbul. Overnight the Police Officer in charge of security in ferguson, missouri, said the st. Louis suburb took another step towards healing. The crowds protesting were smaller, fewer incidents, no shots fired and no molotov cocktails thrown. Just six people were arrested. The relatively calm night follows a visit by attorney general eric holder. Susan mcginnis is in ferguson. Susan, good morning. Reporter good morning, annemarie. It was much calmer overnight on the streets of ferguson. Its possible some severe storms, thunder and lightning that rolled through her had something to do with it.

Protesters marched around a single block in ferguson overnight pressing for violence of the kind that claimed the life of Michael Brown to end. Keep moving. Reporter some Police Officers wore regular uniforms but not riot gear as they controlled the smaller crowds, but they did make some arrests. Missouri state Highway Patrol captain ron johnson said overall the situation on the ground is getting better. There were no molotov cocktails tonight, no fires, no shooting. We did not see a single handgun. There were no confrontations. Reporter many people here in ferguson remain angry that officer Darryn Wilson hasnt been charged for fatally shooting Michael Brown. Get him behind bars, and if he doesnt, its probably going to be hectic here. Reporter attorney general eric holder traveled to ferguson yesterday to meet with browns family as well as fbi investigators conducting a federal probe. Im confident that through the ability of these people we will be able to make a determination about whether or not any federal statutes have in fact been violated. Reporter unrest here may be far from over. It could take a grand jury weeks to determine whether or not to charge officer wilson in browns death. Now many here are demanding that the county prosecutor, Bob Mccullough recuse himself or be removed from the case, because of his deep family ties to the police force and because his father, who was a policeman, was shot and killed by an africanamerican suspect. It doesnt look like hes going to be removed. Also on wednesday, an officer was suspended for pointing a semiautomatic Assault Rifle at demonstrators, cursing at them and threatening to kill one of them. Annemarie . Susan mcginnis in ferguson.
