feel law enforcement on their trail. there s implications because could this have been more easily prevented. lone wolfs, it s easier to fly under the radar. they re not communicating with people. if he had been communicating with people on logistics or weapons, it s more questionable why at those modes of communications, there wasn t an opportunity to figure out what was going on ahead of time. also, as we know, it s where the scope of the investigation takes us. he traveled to germany, libya. investigators are arrested 14 people already. so they ll be questioning the people, looking at iphones, looking at laptops and his events over the previous few days to see who he was in touch with and who he met with during that period. neil: tara, what do you do if you re in a democracy and where very have individual rights and protect people, drag them in, throw them in a cell and you
that he may have been a threat but he didn t think he posed an imminent threat. there could have been red flags because this was not alone wolf. lone wolfs can fly under the radar. he didn t operate by himself. and the making of the bomb had to require some sort of orchestration in terms of purchasing the materials, putting this together. they re going to be looking for where this all was happening. in an apartment in manchester maybe or somewhere close by and how did they get how did he get the bomb in place that day and make it to the site and was anybody helping him. shepard: a lot of work to be done and fast. the islamic state releasing a new propaganda video showing the las vegas strip. officials there say they re treating it as a threat. a group that monitors extremist propaganda released a segment of the video which calls for people to carry out lone wolf terror attacks in the united states using knives or vehicles. the video show landmarks in
