suspected locations where it doesn t appear the attacks were nearly as effective as they were in these three. erin? tom foreman, thank you very much. i want to bring in our panel, former cia operative bob baer, paul cruickshank and along with republican congressman ed royce, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee who has been getting briefed this evening. let me start with you first, paul. what are you hearing? deputy mayor of paris saying they don t know whether this will continue, whether they will have more of these attacks happening over the next hour, over the next days. what are you hearing from your sources? well, there is a significant concern that there could be more concerns in the hours ahead, that this is not over yet through the night or even tomorrow or in the weeks ahead. no terrorist group has yet claimed responsibility for this. i think we can expect a major claim from a terrorist group. a lot of people are going to be looking at isis, given the number of
that club and is now speaking out saying they will fight and they will be ruthless. there will be a remorseless response here not saying who against in this point but remarks he just made, there will be a remorseless response from france against those responsible for this. clearly, if this is linked to isis in syria and iraq in some kind of way, i think we can expect a massively stepped up french response. they are sending an aircraft carrier to the mediterranean to beef up presence there. they have been hitting isis in syria and iraq. could this change the syrian war as 9/11 did for the united states during the war and afghanistan, could this change the syria war. if this is linked to syria and not isis, i think there is a wakeup call for the west were world, that the western world cannot allow this safe haven
here and as authorities in paris are emphasizing to us, they are not confident that this is over. they are not confident that this is over. and the coordination of it, it will happen in very quickly and i think all of that pointing towards this being an attack by an established terrorist group, by a group that would have planned this, would have trained the people involved at several places in the middle east where the training could take place but all eyes will be on syria and iraq which has emerged over the past few years as a major terrorist safe haven. i think if it is linked to syria in any way, there s going to be a lot of pressure on the international community, on all of our leaders to act, to rid this terrorist safe haven in syria and iraq now. president obama saying that isis has been contained in syria and
