Obviously the investigators are still trying to figure out what was behind this, who the bomber is. Im told theyve identified a male as the bomber but theyre still trying to learn more about him. What is most striking to you . What was the bomb made out of . Because that leads you to oo lot of conclusions. This is the deadliest Terror Attack since july 7th, 2000 fiv 2005. And almost certainly a Hydrogen Puraukside bomb. Because the signature of al qaeda and isis are these kinds of bombs. So where was it made . Because you need a commercial refrigerator often the store the chemicals. Theyre very toxic if youre making these kinds of bombs, youre oftenb wearing a gas mask. Theres a whole apparatus i would be looking for. We dont know if its a hydrogen
peroxide bomb. Would it be a loan wolf scenario . Or how likely would that be . Im skeptical. Weve had people in this country build those bombs and kill themselves. Its difficult. You need training. Ive been in Bomb Making Courses where it t
there s a possibility of a loan actor. one of the possibilities we saw in paris and brussels was that in those neighborhoods almost no contact with people very isolated. so they had a difficult time getting operation and you could argue one way or another whose fault that may be. but they had isolated communities that had been there for a couple of generations and not really assimulated. so the question now is is manchester in a similar situation. do we have an isolated neighborhood where people don t feel assimilated, they feel like foreigners. so we haven t heard that part of this yet of the police relationships in those neighborhoods. you have the profile of the folks who were the average local teen. you have that uk, you have that here. who were assimulated and and isis attacks in europe
check up a while ago. i think he s still very much alive. we don t know how it s going to land. good way to keep fear in the west wing as well. one of the other star witness before committees coming up will be general michael flynn. today we learned he s going to take and the question is what s ne next? both of them areopen on the idea of trying to hold him in contempt of congress or doing something to try to get access to these documents. we know going through the contempt procedures is a long process, very difficult to enforce but the idea for burr and warner is to scare the other witnesses into complying with the request for other records, particularly in communication with russian officials, anything they ve talked about with
brits have been pretty lucky so far. certainly you have both heard from british officials that they have hundreds of these guys that have come back and as isis gets pressured in iraq and syria, more of them are coming back and they re very particularly worried about them in places and concentrating in places like manchester and midlands and london because that s where there s a support network. and no one is off limits. scle clearly the target was womenen and children. it s pam s reporting that they have an idea on who they believe to be the suicide bomber. they re now i imagine looking at his connections. walk us through what the law enforcement process is now. you ve guatemala enforcement intelligence. the first tear is are there co consphe conspirators. the question is are there
tell them of suspicious persons and electronic capability and of course then we have the other argument in a free society about civil liberties. do we want metta data being stored, nsa wire tapping international calls. all of that type of thing kicks back in. so it s very concerning. and we don t know because it s early. a question that s going to be addressed is was this inspired or directed? was this someone who became self radicalized, maybe found some of the recipes in effect for the bombing online? or if they had some sort of contact at home. the truth is both of those is unsettling and alarming in its own way because the self radicalized are harder to track and the directed ones means there s a line back to the organizations in syria. they ve directed all of their followers all over the world so they don t have to micromanage each individual case or have this person saying are you
