Morning. Lets bring in pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr, Senior International correspondent Nick Paton Walsh and National Correspondent Sunlen Serfaty and cnn military analysts retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling and retired Major General james spider marks. Lets start with Barbara Starr, who broke the news this morning, tell us what we know. Good morning, well it was a commando raid overnight, deep into syrian isisheld territory. U. S. Army special Operations Forces and that means delta force, went in by helicopter under orders to try to capture this man. But apparently a firefight broke out, handtohand combat. He resisted. He was killed in the firefight. Along with other isis fighters there. His wife captured and taken back to iraq. The big question why this guy . Why was it worth risking so many u. S. Military lives to go after him . What were being told is he was an isis leader if you will in their oil and gas operations. So thats very key because of the financial impact.
it a bird? i don t think it s a bird. i think it s probably a bullet. i don t know. you think it s a bullet? well i think so. because of the third train. now the first two trains were hit in the windshield. the third train was hit on the side. and with a force that alarmed the passengers. if it was someone throwing the rocks, that s very difficult. and as difficult, it would be difficult to move around in those areas to get close enough to the trains to do that. it doesn t have the classic bullet crazing pattern. that s very distinct and there s a sharp, round hole and it crazes out from that area. you see tracks going out, you know in a radiation form. so it does look like a rock strike. but the third train is kind of significant. that it came in on the side and not from the front. this would be like kind of a thing would be like a rock off of an overpass. we talked with carl edler, the chairman of the washington branch of the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and
