Power of our ideas is far more powerful than what the terrorists seek to destroy. The second terror group targeted in syria is one you might not have heard of, khorasan. We also heard strikes to disrupt plotting against the United States and allies by seasoned al qaeda operatives in syria who are known as the Khorasan Group. Once again, it must be clear to anyone who would plot against america and try to do americans harm that we will not tolerate safehavens for terrorists who threaten our people. Intelligence reports indicate that the Khorasan Group is in the final stages of plans to execute major attacks against western targets and potentially the u. S. Homeland. The United States took action to protect their interests and to remove their capability to act. In a minute,ly turn it over to the joint staffs director of operations Lieutenant General bill mayville to provide information about the operation.

Military attacks on their tribal areas along the border. The good news and its very little good news it may be over. The taliban said they sent six attackers in. An hour ago we got word that six had been killed. Katy tur is tracking this for us from london. Richard engel has lived in the region for nearly two decades. Hes our chief Foreign Correspondent. Katy, lets start with you. Can you give us the latest details on the attack . Well heres what we know as of now. The attack on pakistani officials is what theyre saying now six terrorists are dead. That could be all of them. But they are going room to room to clear the situation. Its a slow and meticulous operation. There are reports that the rooms have been booby trapped. As for the dead its a staggering number. 135. Most of them are children. Another 150 injured. But again this is a fluid situation. The numbers have been changing all day. The gunman went in wearing suicide vests and went classroom to classroom, shooting some students
States where republicans can pick up the seats to get a majority or even more comfortable majority are places like iowa, colorado, places traditionally politically competitive. None of these are really reaches for republicans in the way states they have won senate races for in the last few years. Massachusetts, wisconsin, somewhat more democratleaning states theyve won in the past. Basically, republicans have a Home Field Advantage here. And if they win, it will be in part a reflection of that Home Field Advantage. Chuck, same question to you. We think republicans will make significant gains tomorrow. But its not a wave election, you say. Why is that . It doesnt look like a wave election right now. Doesnt mean it doesnt end up that way. If New Hampshire and North Carolina are both going to republicans and scott walker rick, scott, all the close governors races tip to the republicans, then you have to say, thats a wave. Thats going to happen. The problem is when you look at our final nb
In the leg. Hes under arrest and is being questioned right now. Elise labott is joining us from jerusalem. Whats been the response to this attack both from the Israeli Government and from the Palestinian Authority . Reporter wolf the israeli authorities captured this man right after the attack happened and they were interrogating him trying to see if he was working with anybody. It doesnt seem he was. Seems it was more one of those socalled lone wolf attacks. But what the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said is that its palestinian incitement against the israelis antisemitism weve seen around the world that inspires palestinians to make attacks against israelis and thus after hamas praised the attack. There was no implication that hamas was involved. But hamas praising the attack and saying the israelis deserved it because of their treatment of the palestinians. Has there been any official reaction from the Palestinian Authority leadership . Reporter no, there hasnt. This 23y
5,000 new York Police Officers specially trained. Just a couple of quick notes. They will start cleaning up in the next couple of hours. There will be 158 people on hand for the cleanup. 22 sanitation trucks and one other little point, kate, 32 tons of debris is what they picked up last year so im guessing it will be the same this year. As you say about security, so many threats in the air, none Credible Threats but a lot of chatter and talk. As you say its the new normal as we head into the holiday season. Reporter im having a hard time hearing you. I think you said something about the security. We saw no problems. It is probably because of the enormous Police Presence we saw.
