You felt like people were staying home but today im sensing a different mood. This is different this time and not about the number of dead and injured and always significant but not driving the emotions or the intensity here. That was specific. They knew it was under attack and here there is a disbelief about what the future hold. Not that this was the past of what happened but it may be a signal of the present and future. Chris, what is interesting it was a way of life in paris targeted by these terrorists. Paris is known for its cafes and restaurants and having a glass of wine with friends and listening to music. In the case of that concert hall that was so viciously attacked and that way of life is under assault here. Many of those feelings by investigators too. They know for sure they know there were more people involved in planning and launching these attacks than we know so far than those who were taken by their own vests and by the efforts of police and security forces.

All of this as intelligence points to isis getting ready for more attacks and soon. Senior International Correspondent joins me with more. Lots of activity overnight european time. Does that suggest there are more plots in the planning . Reporter it certainly suggests that theyre trying to root out this Extensive Network an yes absolutely the fear is that there might be multiple plots that are in the works. Lets get to the arrests first of all here in brussels. Actually it was across the country there was six arrests in total. Quite a few of them happened right in front of the federal prosecutors office, which is very unusual. We had another two arrests in the city and one in yetta, another part just outside of brussels.

Enjoy going to a night out or restaurant or football soccer game et cetera all those targets were carefully chosen by fanatics to say we do not agree with the way you live and we want to divide you. If i know one thing about parisian parisians, you dont tell them what to do. Theyll still be out and enjoying what makes them intrinsically parisian. While this is a painful reminder of what happened with Charlie Hebdo, it is against terrorism. The first suicide bomber a man who exploded himself at the first soccer stadium outside paris, he came to europe as part of an organized group smuggled with refugees.
