now, to be clear, you look at these pictures you don t know where isis shot this. there are a lot of stock images out there of locations and targets and buildings in new york city. and it appears possible that that image you see there of herald square is a stock image. so this could be not necessarily substantial, but we do know isis has an enormous aspiration to attack the u.s. i ve gotten that warning repeatedly from french security officials here this week. and certainly from u.s. officials. of course the question becomes capability. they don t have the same capability that they have in europe. it s just closer, frankly, easier to get from syria, don t have an ocean to cross or plane to hop on. but we know that s their desire. the u.s. takes it seriously. whether this is substantial, we doept know yet but certainly threatening. certainly does. jim sciutto in paris, thanks very much. we re back with republican congressman adam kinzinger of illinois, served both in iraq
i mean, in a new era, you know, people are understanding terrorists especially how to make more powerful explosives, how to sneak them through security. and even if it s not necessarily through the, you know, production line of putting it in your bag and going through security, how can you throw a can of soda over the fence at the airport and have the guy driving the truck around come and take it to the guy who s going to plant it on the airplane? any of these are all possible. again, i mean, you have to give terrorists credit. they re smart in an evil way. they re smart at figuring out how to get undetected, how to kill the most innocent people they can. and so may very well be possible. there s new video that isis has just released showing what they say is a suicide bomber with a vest in new york city getting ready to attack new york city. they showed pictures of manhattan, if you will. we re showing our viewers some still photos of that. they re clearly suggesting new york is thei
new york city. it shows an explosive device being put together and a bomber zipping his jacket over a suicide belt. crowded manhattan street scenes show the intent to sew fear. let s go to our chief international security correspondent jim sciutto. he s in paris for us. jim, what s the latest you re hearing on this very disturbing new isis video? wolf, this is the second u.s. city for isis to threaten in just the last couple of days in videos. this one shows alarming footage. and we know that this is what isis is very good at, creating alarmist propaganda videos. this one specific to new york. you see and we are only using still images from that video, but you see there what appears to be or resembles an explosive device wrapped in tape. then you see a man in a video zipping it up under his jacket. that is followed by an image of herald square in new york city, the implication clear that their next target is new york city. this just after a couple of days ago they threatened washingt
block users using inappropriate behavior and religious hate speech. unbelievable. reporter: tonight, donald trump piled on tweeting, how does ben carson survive this problem? really big. and a new poll out by bloomberg tonight shows that terrorism in the threat of isis is specifically the top concern on the voters minds. so clearly, wolf, this will continue to shape the race going forward. out on the campaign trail, sunlen, you re in south carolina, one of the early primary states, i guess what happened in paris, the national security debate, that s now dominating, right? reporter: it absolutely is. jeb bush was down here talking at the citadel and to the cadets about his plan for isis going forwards. this speech was preplanned before the paris attack but jeb bush adding in many lines referencing what he would do with isis going forward and also how he feels about the syrian refugees coming in to this country.
as you referenced, wolf, on monday a video threatened washington d.c., isis calling it the stronghold of america and said they would attack here after they carried out the stronghold in france. now a threat to new york. to be clear, we reached out to the new york police department. they say there is no credible or specific threat. they note as we noted ourselves when we looked at this video that not all images are now. some are repurposed from a rap video published several months ago but updated with resent comments from the french president. they know u.s. terror officials told me this, as well, counter terror officials that new york is certainly an aspiration target of isis. i ll tell you speaking to french security officials here this week, i ve asked them that same question. as you look at their capabilities here in france, what is your assessment of their
