Com as we said no group yet taking responsibility for these coordinated terrorists events in paris. Is it isis or is it alqaida. Theres the competition between the two terrorist groups. Jim hoffer has more. Reporter if this is isis launching an attack from the middle east or an isis inspired home grown attack, either way it would mark the Terrorists Group eclipsing of alqaida. It would also confirm Counter Terrorism officials worse fears about outgrowing reach and sophistication of this young terrorist group.

This is not just about attacking Political Institutions or iconic buildings. This is also about attacking civilians where they live and where they enjoy themselves.

This time the attacks are more coordinated, showing terrorist training for weeks if not months. That it went undetected is a huge blow for Counter Terrorism efforts everywhere.

Reporter just weeks ago, they sounded an alarm about the growing influenceover isis in radicalizing terror not only abroad but here at home. The report warning quote the unprecedented speed of which americans are being radicalized by violent extremists is straining federal Law Enforcements ability to monitor and intercept isis.
