because we understand march manchester investigation led us back to libya a cell there meeting took place tag into germany. have you seen anything like that with these three that are now dead? as the president has already tweet, we are giving our british cousins as much support as they request from us. but we are not going to second guess them. i think it is important, however, to note the method of attack in this last case. the vehicular attack and then the knifing. this is classic. it goes right back to lee rigby the british soldier who was almost beheaded on the streets. we have seen the knife this is the classic tactics of the global jihadi threat. that tells you a lot already, brian. ainsley: i know dr. gorka, many thoughts are i m not going to go to london for a while. this is not the first attack. we have seen several last two weeks.
sheinelle. any further word on how he managed to get to italy? he had to go through two countries borders, right? oh, yeah. a lot of tough questions. knifing through borders from germany to france. through the town. and 9:00 p.m. on thursday, he apparently crossed yet another border, arriving in italy. and then milan four hours later. all with authorities on high alert. so sheinelle, a lot of tough questions being asked right now about how he was able to get away so easily. especially since that high alert was in place. still more questions than answers at this point. nbc s lucy cavanaugh thank you. now to politics. president obama sharing his christmas address. take a listen. the idea that we are our brothers keeper and our sisters keeper. that we should treat others as we would want to be treated. that we care for the sick, feed
