Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Schieffer good evening. Scott is on assignment. Im Bob Schieffer. Well, it is exactly what u. S. Officials have been worried about, what attorney general eric holder said sunday keeps him up nights worrying. The f. B. I. Announced tonight it is arresting an armed isis sympathizer in ohio who told an informant he was headed to washington to blow up the u. S. Capitol and kill members of congress. The story broke this afternoon and jeff pegues has the details. Reporter investigators made the arrest today outside a gun range in cincinnati, ohio. Taken into custody 20yearold Christopher Cornell, who also usethe alias raheel mahrus ubaydah. He was arrested after allegedly purchasing two semiautomatic weapons and approximately 600 rounds of ammunition. Investigators say he had studied how to build pipe bombs and he had researched his targets online. Investigators believe he was plotting an attack on the u. S. Capitol and that he considered members of congress the enemy. According to the criminal complaint, his plan plan was to kill employees and officers workingworking in and around the u. S. Capitol. Cornell first came to the attention of the f. B. I. This past summer when an informant notified authorities that cornell wanted to carry out an attack in the u. S. In support of isis. In a message to the informant in august, Court Documents quote cornell as saying we should just wage jihad under our own orders and plan attacks. The 20yearold was also active to o twitter posting statements and videos in support of isis. The arrest comes just days after an f. B. I. Bulletin warned u. S. Authorities of the potential for homeland attacks carried out by stiezers or followers of radical islamic groups. Investigators believe that Christopher Cornell was working alone. They say he had real intent but that there was never a real threat against the u. S. Capitol. Bob, investigators believe they disrupted this plot in its early stages and they say it never made it to the operational stage. Schieffer okay, thank you, jeff. All of this comes one week after terrorists in paris attacked the offices of the french satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. That left 12 people dead. Today, a claim of responsibility, and bob orr has that. Reporter the claim from this top terrorist leader in yemen is absolute. Charlie hebdo was attacked for lampooning the prophet mohammed. And the murderous rampage was ordered by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. Calling the kouachi brothers who heroes of islam, the speaker said aq. A. P. Chose the target, laid the plan, and financed the operation. In an 11minute video titled the blessed battle of paris, the aqap spokesman praises Osama Bin Laden and current al qaeda boss ayman al zawahiri. And the speaker claims americanborn terrorist Anwar Alawlaki set the paris plot in motion. U. S. Analysts are convinced the tape is authentic and say theres no doubt the kouachis had some linches to aqap. At least one of the brothers traveled to yemen likely trained with awlaki, and was given 20,000 to carry out an attack. But french and u. S. Intelligence sources say aqaps broad claim of responsibility may be inflated. Theres no evidence the terror group coordinated and directed last weeks massacre in paris. And the video offers no proof. In any case, aqap is renching leveraging the attack for maximum propagand and and recruiting benefits and is now warning other cities like washington, new york, or london could be hit next. The video also reveals aqap is schoasly watching the worlds reaction to the recent attacks. On the tape, the leader mocks sundays unit rally in which western leaders marched arm in arm in paris. If its confirmed aqap was responsible for the attack it would be the most successful strike against a western target in a decade. Schieffer terrorist threats did not stop Charlie Hebdo from publishing an edition since last week and it had an image of mohammed on the cover. Elizabeth palmer now in paris. Reporter everybody wanted one, even people who dont normally like Charlie Hebdo lined up fair copy for posterity or in solidarity. Just as a citizen, i wanted to buy this magazine in support for the team who has been murdered last week. Reporter frances Prime Minister showed off his as he left the a cabinet meeting. And only hours after it hit the newsstands todays print run 700,000 copies, sold out, though more are due on the shelves by morning. applause while the police are enjoying widespread support for their handling of the hostage crises, people are starting to ask why they didnt pick up any warning signs of the attacks especially with suspects who had been on the radar for years. These are photographs just out of Ahmedy Coulibaly in the Kosher Grocery store with his hostages. He had a record of armed robbery. Coulibaly and his wife were both beating watched in 2010 but the surveillance was later suspend. Xavier raufer is a security expert who advises the french government. There is a huge difficulty for the french internal intelligence tond that these to understand that these young former prison gangsters can be dangerous. They despise them, you know. Reporter as for the kouachi brothers, paris Police Monitoring them got suspicious this summer when they quietly moved out of their apartment to a smaller town. And no followup. No. That was about in the summer of 2014. Reporter so thats a Massive Police policing failure. Totally. Reporter bob professor raufer underlines that frances recent terrorist attacks have not been committed by jihadi extremists returning from the battlefields of iraq or syria but rather by these kinds of petty criminals radicalized right here in france. Schieffer all right, liz palmer in france. Thank you, liz. It was no surprise when this new edition of Charlie Hebdo drew a different response in muslim countries. Holly williams reports from turker. M. K. Perker is a turkish cartoonist and a personal friend of one of the murdered french cartoonists, georges wolinski. They felt like family, always. Thats why it hurt really, really bad. Reporter coming from a conservative muslim family, perker told us he would never draw cartoons of the prophet mohammed, but he defends the right of others to do so. There is no negotiation on freedom of speech pup cantue know you cant bargain on this. Youre either on this side or not. Reporter his magazine penguen makes its of the same point on its latest cover but the turkish authorities disagree. Last night, the police searched trucks distributing the turkish version of the latest Charlie Hebdo. Though turkey is famous for its moderate form of islam the government only allowed the paper to go on sale today after confirming it did not include images of the prophet mohammed. Violence in the name of islam is all too familiar for many here in the middle east. Far more muslims have been killed by al qaeda and isis than any other group. But many muslims believe that what they hold sacred is more important than free speech. Meryam illayda atlas is a conservative turkish commentator who toad told us the west is partly responsible for what happened in paris. These people are provoking some very high level of anger from all over the world. Reporter the new Charlie Hebdo cover, which depicts the prophet mohammed, has done just that. Its been banned from all web sites here in turkey and bob its been condemned by jords foreign minister and egypts top islamic cleric, amongst others. Schieffer thank you so much holly. These have been hard times for the onceproud secret service drinking escapades on the road security lapses at the white house, even leaving the white house front door unlocked. Well today there was another big shakeup for the agency that guards the present. Our senior White House Correspondent bill plante has that. Reporter four top managers of the secret service all assistant directors, have been told they must resign or retire but may seek reassignment in the department of homeland security. A fifth has announced his retirement. Acting director Joseph Clancy said in a statement change is necessary to gain a fresh perspective on how we conduct business. The House Cleaning comes after a series of embarrassments for the agency. Agents disciplined for hiring prostitutes prior to a president ial trip to colombia, failure to detect gunshots fired at the white house and the fence jumper who made it into the white house last fall. A report by an independent Commission Last month called for new leadership at the agency saying it was too insular and needs to strengthen the culture of accountability. The rank and file and even very senior members do not have confidence that discipline is imposed in a fair and consistent manner. Bob, the secret service is still without a permanent director following the resignation of Julia Pierson in october. So the independent panel recommended that the new director be someone with a Law Enforcement or military background but from outside the agency. Schieffer all right bill plante at the white house.

For 19 days, two climbers had been trying to scale the halfmilehigh rock formation using just their hands and feet. It had never been done before, and a crowd cheered as the two men accomplished a feat many said was impossible. Here is john blackstone. Reporter about 500 feet from the top, although the most difficult parts of the climb were behind them. The sheer granite wall still presented a challenge. Kevin jorgenson and Tommy Caldwell spent seven years planning this adventure, but they spent much of that time surveying the more difficult lower parts of the route. They havent been on the top portion for four years. Oh reporter the crowd watching from the meadow below el capitan, grew as jorgenson and caldwell neared the summit. Through long lenses they followed the climbers slow progress. I am confident that im going to put it down. Reporter at times, the climbers actually had to descend and work their way across the sheer face as they searched for a way to get higher. Yosemite park Ranger Scott Gediman has been watching ascents on el capitan for years. I think its fascinating because just when you think, you know, its all its all done and every route has been done, here are these people doing more and its exciting. Reporter and there was plenty of excitement here in the meadow below el capitan when first Tommy Caldwell and then Kevin Jorgenson made it over the top. There were champagne corks popped, and lots of cheering here. And now these two men bob have earned a place in rock climbing history.
