this hour. erin? pamela, you know, not only are there so many questions about them, it s so unusual that they could have been so off the radar. we also know that it looks likely that they were actually preparing additional attacks. is that right? reporter: that s right. in fact, we ve learned that they had what appeared to be an ad hoc bomb lamb in the home. farook s mother, there were 12 explosive devices that were there inside that home, including 4500 rounds of ammunition and remote control cars that they believe they may have intended to use for the explosi explosives. so really a cache of weapons and that s part of the reason that in addition to why farook was in touch with terrorism suspects, although they were not high-prior tea suspects, they are questioning wll he could have been radicalized and whether this could have been a
secondary device there so the police pushed us back about another 150 meters for a while and they continued on going through the debris. wolf? the police chief bangkok announced there s no active bomb threat. but there were fears earlier potentially the could be more explosi explosives. what are you learning about that? was this seen as just an explosion explosive device left there or some sort of suicide bomber. what do they say? at the moment still unclear, we haven t got a lot of information coming out. the secondary devices they found were just plastic bags that had been left at the scene. that scene is very busy. there s a lot of flower sales around there, there s a lot of food sellers around there. there was a lot of debris from that. and the secondary devices, they considered them were just plastic bags left there by the people. mark, has there been any claim of responsibility? not at the moment, we haven t
government helicopter hovering above alepo and then what everyone below fears. it drops a barrel packed full of explosi explosives, crudely made and simply called a barrel bomb. four people were killed during this attack. all civilians the blast so powerful buildings were leveled in this residential neighborhood. the destruction so widespread, we don t know how many were hurt. but many who survived were left clinging to life. amnesty international calls it crimes against humanity, which has created sheer terror and unbearable suffering to the people of alepo. like the terror at this school, flattened by a barrel bomb, as rescuers frantically searched through the rubble for survivors. students and teachers, carried
explosi explosives, potentially. s.w.a.t. teams, explosive exp t experts are now on the scene. going to take hours and hours. they re carefully trying to make sure that it s going to be safe. what are you hearing about that? well, wolf, as you mentioned, they are being very cautious about entering that home because they have reason to believe that it is booby trapped. we know authorities including the atf, the georgia bureau of investigation, as well as the local forsythe county sheriffs office is on the scene there at the suspect s home. as pamela mentioned, this man came to do damage, body armor, flex cuffs, hand grenades. he had a homemade spike strip. every indication he planned to take over the courthouse and take hostages. getting back to the home, local officials tell us it s believed he had not lived in that home for as much as ten days. there s still no motive that they have uncovered. they are continuing to investigate dennis mark, the 48-year-old background. officials say
take this threat very, very seriously. so as far as timing is concerned, you re worried it could happen literally at any moment. well, that s the concern. and we re concerned about techniques. we know that al qaeda has understood and has learned some of our methods, so they re not planning the big attacks and letting a lot of people know. that s what happened with the attempted attacks in the united states. and because of that, we re concerned about different techniques, about putting explosi explosives, plastic explosives in people s bodies, so those explosions will not be detected. they re continuing to move and trying to find ways to attack us and kill americans and our allies. so we have to be vigilant and take every precaution. and we want to make sure that americans are aware and we also want the bad guys we want the people attempting to kill us every day to know that we understand the threat is there and we re doing everything we can to stop it. do you think all this pub
