First from the fox news deck what happens if you deal with the terrorists . The terrorists who call themselves a state, the Islamic State. Sounds like jordan is about to do some negotiating and maybe a prisoner swap that would set a notorious al qaeda killer free. Right now theres no comment from any u. S. Official. Today, the major dane january government signalled they are willing to free the terrorist from death row in order to save this hostage, the one over here in a white shirt. Hes is pilot.

When they went into his apartment today they discovered that longer weapon that may be consistent with the weapon that was used in the first part of the attack. Theyve also discovered clothing in his apartment consistent with what they believe the first gunman was wearing. So theres a much higher degree of confidence from the police here now. The deputy Prime Minister has also said the same thing. They believe theyve got the man who was behind both these attacks. What
