idea. it s that idea, right, that has been so prevalent. that s why i ve been asking the question about it, the idea, the ideology that they have and passing it on to so many of our young people and turning those young people into terrorist wannabes and some of them actually carrying it out as we have seen what happened in paris on friday, a lot of attackers were all young. i want to do something quickly. we re getting confirmation from another source, this one coming from the ap, that they are s saying what we re seeing on video right now is a manhunt for the terrorist mastermind. the mastermind of these attacks that took place in paris, which would be abdelhamid abaaoud. and we re withouting for more independent information on the grout here from steve, we will confirm that on our own.
he doesn t pay his fees. if anyone thinks by any figment of their imagination what happened up there last week was just people rallying to somebody that was oppressed, 600 people came in armed. they had practiced, maneuvered, they knew what they were doing. they set up snipers in strategic locations with sniper rifles. they had assault weapons. they had automatic weapons and boasted about the fact they put women and children, in fact, one retired sheriff from arizona posted he put women and children so that they would get hit first. so 600 people, if there were ever an example of people who were domestic violent terrorist wannabes, these are the guys. i think that we should call it that way. we have a situation where i think that it s really not
and the report i m getting about the bomb material recovered being sent on to quantico for the fbi to evaluate there, we do know that the items inside, the nails, the ball bearings, bbs used to create the chaos and the injuries, they ve also been used in previous attacks. so does that help give any insight into who may have initiated this attack? or is that information just so widely accessible via the internet that it really does provide a lot of cover to whoever may have put this together? well, a recipe for creating this kind of bomb was actually published in al qaeda in the arabian peninsula online magazine known as inspire. and a couple terrorist wannabes were inspired by that al qaeda s call for individuals to carry out their own jihad in america and try to detonate these bombs.
incidents. the photograph we just showed you was presumably snapped by an american soldier. a lot of american soldiers have been posting photographs, uploading videos to youtube. this was december of 2010. when you watch it with me, this is incredibly compelling. you re looking at these u.s. troops, fighting off an ambush. this guy has this camera on his helmet. this was shot by a member of the 10th mountain division. take a look. come on, boys, i need you. get down. again, members of the 10th mountain division. this video also posted to youtube. and we wondered if there was any poli policy. can anyone post anything on youtube? could it potentially be harmful to american interests? general, there are a lot of u.s. troops in afghanistan. they re going into combat. they have cameras on their helmets that they purchased themselves. is it problematic and is there a policy in the pentagon saying you can or can t put this footage up on youtube into the public domain? well,
intelligence and is now president and ceo of the woodrow wilson center. it s great to have you on because you are one of the folks who has had access to all the classified information. you know what s going on, and i respect your opinion. i want to find out, president saleh has offered to step down at the end of the year. he offered that to the opposition, will he make it? let me put embassynent yemen in context and threaten that. i think yemen is ground zero of threat to the united states. the christmas bomber was trained there. the parcel bomb plot was hatched there. a u.s.-yemeni cleric who s inspired so many like the ft. hood shooter lives there, and a number of english language magazines called inspire that teach you how to make bombs are produced there. and read on line in the united states by home-grown terrorist wannabes. this is a big problem for us.
