Federal Law Enforcement frcials investigating a troubling new video tonight released by the Al Qaedalinked militant group alshabaab. It appears to call for teeks american shopping malls. Charlie dagata has more from london tonight. Charlie. Reporter jim, the video appears to call on for lone wolf attacks on Shopping Centers and malls in the United States and canada and here in great britain. The video specifically names the mall of america in minneapolis. It begins with the focus on the groups 2013 terror attack at the Westgate Mall in nairobi. It is a documentarystyle video more than an hour long, focusing really on kenyan forces and their intervention into somalia and essentially what theyre saying is if militants can attack a mall in nairobi others can attack targets elsewhere. Elshabab in the past has been considered a local or regional threat. This is thought the first time there has been a direct threat against the United States. U. S. Law officials have told cbs news their posture has not change with the release of the video.

The new secretary of state Ashton Carter, said today the u. S. May slow down the withdrawal of american troops from afghanistan. Carter made the announcement during his first trip to afghanistan as defense secretary. On the flight there, carter also discussed an impending battle against isis in iraq, the battle for mosul. Heres Juliana Goldman. Reporter the mosul offensive is expected to be the u. S. Led campaigns most difficult and strategically important battle yet. Its the largest city held by isis, with a population of 1 million occupied by an estimated 1,000 to 2000 militant fighters. A big question is how involved American Military advisers will get, like weather theyll accompany iraqi troops on the ground to call in air strikes. On his way to afghanistan on fridays, defense secretary Ashton Carter left open that possibility. Im always open to advice from our military commanders about what the best way to achieve success is. Reporter but unlike another pentagon official who early this week told reporters that u. S. And iraqi forces will try to retake mosul in april or may, carter refused to say when it would be. I think the important thing is that it will get done when is it can be done successfully. And i even if i knew exactly when that was going to be, i wouldnt tell you. Reporter a Senior Administration official tells cbs news that neither carter nor the white house knew about that briefing where a military official also said the assault would include between 20,000 and 25,000 iraqi troops backed by u. S. Air power. While the u. S. And iraqis have been telegraphing a mosul at all assault at some point detailing war plans is rare and the disclosure drew strong criticisms from republicans including senators john mccain and lindsey graham. The two sent a letter to the president demanding to know if the white house had approved the briefing writing, those responsible have jeopardizized our National Security interests and must be held accountable. U. S. Officials expect retaking mosul will be a tough potentially bloody battle. Jim, this seems to be a form of psychological warfare possibly trying to convince isis fighters to leave mosul before any assault, on on the other hand, forcing isis to bring in fighters to distract from other battle fronts.
