that s when police believe he robbed the armageddon gun shop in janesville, wisconsin. he has assault rifles and high-end handguns and believed to have body armor and helmet. he wrote a 161 page manifesto ranting about government and organized religion and sent the manifesto to president trump after posting a video on social media. april 4th, 2017, 5:43. bill: at a press conference they say he had become highly agitated by the state of national politics and told an associate of plans to carry out an unspecified attack after stealing guns. after the guns were stolen from
broad powers in combating terrorism. the military has already been brought into assist police and isis splinter group claimed responsibility for a number of attacks in the sinai region of egypt and only hours ago a rocket was fired from that area into israel damaging a greenhouse but causing no injuries. earlier in the day, israel shut down its border with the egyptian section of the sinai after there were intelligence reports that some type of attack was imminent. and as you may note, this is the start of the passover holiday. many israelis will vacation in the sinai with beautiful beaches. not this year. the government has cautioned it is simply not safe. shannon: holiest week of the year for more than one religious group in the world. bill: whether it s egypt or iraq christians are under assault in that part of the world. shannon: the ones left.
assad. i can still attack and from the same base you attacked. we ve been in contact with some of the people who are still in country, the town that was attack. assad is bombing at a greater pace than before. little respite for them there. shannon: we hear about an attack. isis attack on a coalition base in syria. what can you tell us about that? this happened on saturday. it was rather complex attack at a coalition base in the south of syria. we do know that u.s. forces were present at the time. it happened at the garrison on the syrian/jordan border and a vehicle-born ied. 20 to 30 fighters followed by a ground assault and suicide vests. it failed but a daring assault and a reminder that isis remains on the offensive in some parts of this country. they try again and again. this was the same base that russia bombed last year that the u.s. had to come and defend
