when you look at the people who are making that journey, many of them in the court documents posted in new york with the arrest of those two women, they talked about wanting to be significant, wanting to be part of something larger. that seems to be drawing these people, the chance to be part of this fight that they see as legitimate. when you hear about the fact that among those 20 people arrested on the way in from turkey there was a 2-year-old that 2-year-old wasn t coming in to be a fighter. that meant whoever wanted to be a fighter was bringing their whole family they want to be part of this movement. that is the most disturbing part of that report for me. and with every report like the attack by shabaab in garissa to the reports of military successes on the ground inside syria, which isis has had lately that only increases their popularity. right. and there becomes this issue, how do you fight that not just with military force or wit drone
restore restored. he is talking about syria and iraq where isis has managed with few exceptions to march through and claim control over large parts of both countries. iraqi security forces finally pushed isis out of the city of tick kit where they found buildings and vehicles rigged to explosive to explode as booby traps. the liberation of tikrit comes a year after first attacked by isis looting and violence by some iraqi forces has now been reported within the city. meantime yemen has spun almost out of control. houthi rebels control the capital, puvshed the president out of power and his country, fighting for the port and kroeft is intense. people in yemen are fleeing that country by the tens of thousands. others who remain there are running out of water, food and fuel. nic robertson is a few miles from the yemeni boarder in saudi arabia he joins me on the
training camps. their track record is the underpants bomber tried to bring a plane down over detroit 2009 awlaki the american-born yemeni cleric he was there fermenting attacks on the united states charlie charlie hebdo attackers have been in training in yemen. when yemen gets in a state like this al qaeda takes advantage and the threat to the rest of the world grows, poppy. nic robertson reporting in saudi arabia on the border with yemen. thank you very much. turkey officials have detained 20 people at syrian border over the weekend, all of them trying to cross into syria, allegedly, to join isis. no official word on their nationalities. but add to that nine british citizens who were arrested in turkey a few days ago. also accused of trying to get into syria and join the fight. some children were among them. one of them just 2 years old.
worked out and this is the point between now and june 31st when they re, woing out the technical details that critics like netanyahu can get in there and say, you know this deal isn t good and it better be tough if it goes through. what about the fact that what s not being discuss individual of this is the fact that you ve got iran you know supporting the houthi rebels in yemen? that you have iran sort of fighting against u.s. interests in the battleground of across the middle east right now, and that s just not been talked about in all of this. how much does that complicate things? the u.s. is giving up its lever of sanctions to keep iran from meddling in its words, in the situation in yemen, the situation in syria, but what administration officials will tell you is they ve had those sanctions in place and that has aren t stopped iran from supporting these various, different groups so they re trying this other tact
predates the prophet in many ways cutting off of heads and burning prisoners and the rest of it. why this started we can debate all we like but it is getting stronger and stronger. but what can be done to fight it at the root level, right when you talk about understanding of other religions, it s something that is taught from an ellie age in the country. the university you had muslim students and christian students studying and living together side by side in peace until this happens. what needs to happen at a fundamental level in kenya? you need to crush the islamic state completely. you can have no remnant around. we need the muslim countries to join a coalition to destroy this group. whether it s al qaeda, which is the islamic state in so many ways in yemen, whether it s in syria and the rest of it until there s unity in the middle east we re not going to be able to destroy it.
