World headquarters from new york. Good evening. As the victims were laid to rest today, what happened in france has clearly become the terrorist attack that has reverberated around the world. New video just out today shows the suspects as they went about their awful task, including a shootout with police. And french authorities still say this group had help. And there are more people out there. Its where we begin tonight with Richard Engel in paris. Reporter from this angle, its even more terrifying. New video showing the kouachi brothers just moments after the charlie massacre. We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad they shout, and calmly reload. Police arrive. The brothers open fire. Sending the squad car into reverse. The brothers drive at the police, and escape. Three Police Officers were killed in last weeks terror spree. Today they were given the countrys highest honors. In pakistan today, very different prayers. At a symbolic funeral for the killers embraced here as heroes. Blas femers are the enemy of all muslims said a local politician. But Charlie Hebdo is sticking to its freedom to defend. The new edition out tomorrow has a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad the press run, and unprecedented 3 million copies. Counterterrorism officials here warn they cant prevent every future attack without becoming a totalitarian society. But france is starting to reconsider some of its traditional freedoms. These attacks could change the way policing is done in france. Theres already talk about introducing a French Version of the patriot act and reforming the prison system in this country to prevent islamists to become further radicalized behind bars. The French Parliament voted to continue to bomb isis in iraq. Then after a moment of silence, first one, then everyone sang the national anthem. France is especially tense ahead of the release of the new edition of Charlie Hebdo. Several Muslim Leaders around the world have encouraged the publishers not to print it. Richard, thanks. The events of this past week involving islamic extremism are only reinforcing what many jews have come to question about france right now. Whether the country is a safe place for them to live and work. The sentiment perhaps summed up best by a pillar of the Jewish Community in france who remarked on this broadcast last night that in world war ii the optimists went to auschwitz and the pessimists went to new york. Our report from bill nealy tonight. Reporter murdered in paris, buried in israel the four jews taken hostage and shot in a kosher supermarket. The son of one said his french father had always wanted to live in israel. He is here now, he said. In paris, where the men were murdered jews debate their future and their security. France has the largest Jewish Population in europe half a million. It also has the largest Muslim Population 5 million. Many jews feel under threat. Some feel radical islamists want to wipe them out. You dont feel safe . I dont feel safe. Reporter Jacqueline Cohen said its a war here. When youre going in the street and see all the police. Reporter they have good reason to worry. A Jewish School was the target of a muslim extremist three years ago, an attack that killed seven people. Another french muslim murdered four people at a Jewish Museum in brussels last year. A year when jews were attacked more in france than anywhere else in europe. The year israel took in more jews from france than from any other country. In paris, theres this feeling they have to be very careful not to draw attention to themselves as a jew. Reporter but not every jew here is afraid. Do you feel safe here . I do. I do. And im a new yorker. So i know what safety in a city is all about. Reporter today french troops and police patrolled synagogues and Jewish Schools, trying to reassure fright bdened children and traumatized people in a france that feels less safe a little less like home. Bill nealy, nbc news paris. In this country, in our nations capital, the evening commute took a very sudden very frightening turn for hundreds of people last night. The metro system train they were all riding on came to a grinding halt. Over the next 45 minutes the cars filled with smoke with everyone trapped inside. We get our report from nbcs tom costello. Reporter inside a d. C. Subway car, fear and panic as smoke filled the tunnel then the train itself. A train operator urged calm but inside hundreds of passengers struggled to breathe.

And people couldnt breathe. No electricity. No visibility or nothing. Reporter firefighters waited before going down to the tracks to be sure the electric rail had been shut off. In all, more than 80 people sent to area hospitals for smoke inhalation. One passenger, a woman, never made it out alive. It was pitch black smoke everywhere. They kicked everybody out. Reporter fire or smoke on a subway is everyones nightmare. Survival is knowing the phones and exits, listening to instructions and never touching an electrified rail. Its been under intense scrutiny after nine people were killed 70 injured six years ago. Several workers have been killed on the job. The ntsb said mondays incident was likely caused by an electrical arc on the third rail. The full ntsb investigation could take months. You know those passengers were told to stay inside the train because that was safer than getting out on the tracks. But part of the investigation will also look at why it took firefighters so long to get down to them as yet again, the d. C. Metro system is under scrutiny. Tom costello in d. C. Tonight. Tom, thanks. Investigators are blaming speed and, quote, Driver Behavior for a deadly pileup on an icy michigan highway a few days back.

Our report tonight from nbcs peter alexander. Reporter already the 2016 race is looking as crowded as it is unpredictable.

Reporter now get ready for romney 3. 0. A Romney Adviser telling nbc news today, i would be surprised if he didnt run. And bush is courting donors. Skeptical Republican Voters are looking for the shiny new car. And they probably dont see it in a third bush or romneys third race. Reporter the republicans believe they need to break away from the old party. Paul ryan tells nbc news hes out. But kentucky senator rand paul and ted cruz look like theyre in. Cruz taking a swipe at more moderate republicans for running to the, quote, mushy middle. Today paul dismissed romney as yesterdays news. I think hes had his chance and its time for fresh blood. Reporter Mike Huckabee is securing the first familys parenting skills.
