Ullah, originally from bangladesh were learning more about him during the day. Were not sure about the motive or if he meant to do exactly what he did. We have picture taken moments after the what the authorities describe a lowlevel explosive device detonated during tunnel beneath new york city where commuters walk from line from the very Business Port authority terminal from 8th avenue under times square to 7th avenue. So many people near him when device was detonated, he was injured. Burned on his hand and midsection of his body, what we understand. Three people near him were also injured but the injuries were only minor. The mayor of new york had this to say about this latest attack or attempted attack on this city. Watch. New york will always going to be because were beacons of the world and we actually show society of many faiths and background look. We show democracy at work. And our enemies want to undermined that. Terrorists want to undermined that. So they yearn to attack new york city. Reporter all right. So all of the injuries that we described to you have been described to us as minor. I emphasize that point. Only three of them, neil, other than the attacker himself is being treated at bellevue hospital. Were waiting for an update from authorities. We hope to have one later in the day that fills in some of the blanks. Again, what are those blanks . Well, did he mean to do what he did about 7 30 this morning the device went off. We dont know whether he meant to do it then, it went off accidentally or he meant to carry off the attack somewhere else. Did this man, ullah, have contact with a formal terrorist organization, he or overseas possibly online. Other questions are waiting to be answered. To your point, this could have been a lot worse in new york. Neil now you worry about the commute home for a lot of folks lear going underground at this point. Connell, thank you very much. We have a former u. S. Army lieutenant on the signals he got from this, and how this kind of stuff can be prevented. That old expression, darren, that we done ad bullet but there were signs, right . What do you look for . Neil, this is very interesting situation. I was a lieutenant working in the Transit Bureau for nypd for a period of time and we had contingency plans to look towards these lone wolf attacks. We look back at october this year we see gross similarities with these lone wolf attacks. We make mention of see see something, say something, that is optimum of importance when we look at vigilance as new yorkers. These lone wolf attacks seem to be the prevalent way the terrorists embark upon attacks with rudimentary means such as a pipe bomb. I look at this, were citizens of new york. We kept keep our heads buried in our cell phones focused on what were doing. We need to look around, have more universal, i want to say quoteunquote, panoramic view, keep our heads on swivel, to insure, i dont want to say insure, if these things alert the property authorities. Neil youre right about that some times new yorkers like myself are buried in these devices. When you see something, say something, almost on this show almost anything you see in manhattan warns saying something. I dont mean to be flippant about it. What do you see when youre eyeing crowds or outside after major transportation hub, what are you trying to see . I want to look, look for an individual that is paying particular attention to the crowds in general. Are they sizing up the car . Is this somebody walking back and forth in the subway car looking for possible Police Presence . Are they looking for entrances and exits, things to that effect . That is one of the first things that alert me as prior Law Enforcement individual. Im saying why is this person pacing subway car so profusely . That will be one of the indicators. The second thing, where are they sitting. These lone wolf attackers will go out of their way to not to sit next to the conduct tore or motor man. In addition is this person carrying a package . Are they placing a package on the seat . Granted this situation this individual was in possession after pipe bomb that exploded prematurely. By the same token, we use the term quoteunquote casing the joint. He was looking for a place where he can establish the greatest casualties that he possibly could. Neil were getting a few more scant details about him, darren, the the assailant, ullah. One of the things Bangladesh Police is saying he is a new york resident. He last was in bangladesh in september. Nothing to telegraph this activity because he had no criminal record in bangladesh. What do you go on when that is all you have to go on thus far . No there will be two sides to the investigations that take place. One, you will have the bomb scud that comes to the location on the subway car. Whenever an ordnance or device explodes, those particles and pieces will still be in play in that particular area. They dont disintegrate. What the bomb squad will do, they will put the device back together again and conduct another simulated explosion. The reason for that is, they want to determine, quote, unquote, what we refer to as the signature. What is the bombmakers signature . And that signature will be placed into a Computer Bank and that will tell us where this signature has been used in the past that is how we connect this bomb of had bombmaker with any other terrorist organization. That is the optimum importance who this bombmaker is, quote, unquote, extracting the skillset from. In addition to that is something we all know, we as Law Enforcement individuals want to know the digital blueprint of that individual. Who was the social network . Who was the last person they reached out to . These are germane points of a amalgamation of discovery in terming not only who the person is and who they were connected with and do we have any future attacks moving forward . Neil wellsaid, darren, thanks for helping us out with this. Always pleasure, neil. Neil a marine bomb technician, johnny jones. Almost too easy to make one of these devices. It was crudelymade device, johnny, failed to do what this guy wanted to do. Fortunate for intend the victims but reminder how fragile this technology is, huh. Good afternoon. I look at information we have, i only know what you all see at home. Ive seen the picture circulating as well as different reports out there. We can come to two possible conclusions this was high explosive low homemade explosive low order, essentially what you put in blasting cap or initiator went off but the explosive did not. Or two, possibly a low explosive, white powder or smokeless powder the casing it was in malfunctioned or had a weak point that allowed for a small explosion but not all of the black powder or high explosive to explode. Long shore short either chemistry or construct went wrong. That doesnt speak to the timing, but this man was covered in black soot instead of cut and bloody, blown all over the place. Not to get too grabbing, in his instance, best thing that could happen for him and best ink it that happened for us as well he is alive. Well get all the things your previous guest was talking about, if not from reconstructing the bomb, simply intear bating him, looking through his digital history to see who he was communicating with. Sound like we will see enough of the explosive to know how this bomb was contributed and that will tell us a whole lot who uninfluenced this person. Neil do you get a sense this could have been a whole lot worse had it succeeded . But i havent been able to determine how much worse. Obviously if everything would have gone as planned it could be catastrophically worse, right. Depends how the bomb was constructed. Fortunately or unfortunately there is a lot of information out there to construct a bomb and achieve your goal. Do you want to physically disable a train or kill the most people or do you want to cause mass hysteria and not put a lot of effort what is blowing up . In other words it is possible that all the explosives in the bomb blew up and he just didnt make a good suicide vest for that purpose. One thing i saw immediately, there isnt a lot of blood scattered around. There is a lot of torn and shattered clothing which tells me if this was pipe bomb it was contained in plastic or fabric that wouldnt allow for containment. When somebody blows up it is big change reaction. One molecular microscopic piece blows up and sets the next piece off. If you dont contain that that scatters the rest of them. We have to understand truly what happens from a nuts and bolts standpoint to know what his intended foal was and how bad it could have been. Ultimately we have negative effects from stock market to disrupting peoples transit it was an effective attack. Thankfully it was not a deadly attack. Best thing we can learn as much as we can, interrogate the individual as much as public. Make sure that there are not other attacks planned and continue life much as possible in this country. Do you think he had help, john me. It is possible especially when we connect to people all over the world through the computer. We do a tremendous job intercepting and deterring these things. There is good chance based on reports were hearing someone who acted alone and not very wellinformed on making a bomb that would be incredibly effective. Everything you need to make a bomb like everything i have heard so far you can buy at walmart or off amazon. Doesnt mean you can make the biggest, loudest, most effective or out smart every tactic we have to intercept it. But you can make things that blow up easily. Things that blow up easily are not always that effective. That is the fine line we straddle upon, everyday things we use in life like fertilizer deterring people who want to blow us up and do us harm. Neil thank you, johnny jones. So far there does seem to be a good deal of concern how this was all orchestrated, whether this guy acted alone but again if youre looking for any financial fallout from this it would have been very, very different had the results been different. Right now the dow is up. A lot of defenserelated stocks or securityrelated stocks have been moving up but that is about it. There has not been a flight to quality or scared investing. They dodged a bullet and they know it. More after this. Well, its earnings season once again. Yeah. Lot of Tech Companies are reporting today. And, hows it looking . I dont know. Theres so many opinions out there, its hard to make sense of it all. Well, victor, do you have something for him . Check this out. Td ameritrade aggregates thousands of earnings estimates into a single data point. That way you can keep your eyes on the big picture. Huh. Feel better . Much better. Yeah, me too. Wow, you really did a number on this thing. Sorry about that. Thats alright. I got a box of em. Thousands of opinions. One estimate. The earnings tool from td ameritrade. Neil there is a push to try to get a heads up if possible or a signal of attacks might be perpetrated in major metropolitan areas or anywhere in the United States. To a terrorism expert how you go about doing that. Brigitte, you say diligence is one thing but how do you do that . A detective said see something, say something, but there are other things you can be doing like what . Exactly. For starters, dont be looking down on your cell phone. Be aware of your surroundings. If you live in major cities, neil, people walk around looking at cell phones instead of paying attention to their surrounding. Were obviously with somebody trying to detonate a suicide bomb like the example today, or hiding a knife or machete to stab people. Somebody like that will be dressed in oversized jacket. If you see somebody with oversized jacket with wires hanging down that is a warning sign. They stay up right, frigid because of the suicide belt. If you see somebody staying in some area unusual than people sitting around him, that is something to honor. Somebody with clenched fist, along with other signs, he may be holding a detonating device. Be careful surroundings. If you see somebody looking suspicious if somebody is watching, that is someone to report this becomes also important, neil, especially for people who live in warm climate areas like arizona, california, florida. If you see somebody dressed in clothing that is not fitting forethe climate at the time, such as coat in warm place, this is something. For more tips, go to our website, actforamerica. Org.

Neil so much we dont know about akayed ullah behind these attacks. We know wees a u. S. Resident. That he last visited bangladesh in september. He had no criminal record, nothing to telegraph this we did hear prior, prior to the holiday season, talk of a lot of chatter on the part of groups that were planning to do something, particularly in new york city but little else to go on. So what are authorities to do with that . Again, this is where being able to monitor somebodys social media and, this is where also the sitry plays and important role. Firstresponders and fbi are doing everything they can to monitor every tip. That is up for us citizens to report. If your neighbor starts acting suspiciously, saying words of anger or wanting to kill people, on their social media start posting violent videos or giving any reference to jihadists for example, these are things to Pay Attention to, to report. They mentioned in bangladesh doesnt have criminal record. This is bangladesh were talking about not where everything we have is computerized. Your insurance reports to major data system if you have a traffic violation. Doesnt work same thing in bangladesh and lebanon. I was born and raised in lebanon. It is a joke to get background check on people from these countries. Things are changing very much. Internet is new theater of war. You have isis armies worldwide. They do not belong to geographical location. They are spread worldwide. Those people identify with the ideology, whether they are isis card holder or al qaeda holder, they dont hold card. They identify with the ideology. Many of them under different names around the world. In the United States. Us to up as citizens if you see something scale the authorities. Dont say im judging others or being too insensitive or acting like a big got. Get these thoughts out of your time. We need to profiling based on behavior and mannerism, not on background but behavior and mannerism. And you need to start saying something. See something, say something. Neil thank you. Very good words there. Cant be repeated enough. Meantime, we are learning right now that the president is planning to make an address on wednesday regarding taxes. As you know theyre in conference right now, the house and senate ironing out differences on tax plan on the president s desk signed sealed, delivered by christmas. I dont though if its a final push but a speech on the subject. But we dont know the time of day but on the tax cuts, and what he envisions. Keep in mind the president has shown the ability to veer here and alter his earlier plan not to go above 20 corporate rate. He was open to 22 if that might close a deal, and get other extractions that could go ahead and close it and make sure it happens. Again the president to address taxes on wednesday.

Neil all right. Bitcoin futures, you probably been hearing a good deal about it but the fact that now you can trade against it like that gives it some sort of legitimacy or thats the impression. Deirdre bolton with the latest in these wild swings and what a difference this might make. Reporter that is right, neil. If you believe bitcoin is in a bubble you can bet against it which is exactly the point you just made. For some people about it coin futures going live at least legitimatize this version of digital currency. Investors wanted to participate so much in the bitcoin craze that the cboe website crashed for a few hours. So the market opened at 6 00 p. M. Eastern and the contract that expires in january opened at 15,000. It rose to 16,660 within the first six minutes of trading. Right there six minutes and 11 surge. Contracts, about 1000 of them, changed hands in the first three hours of trade alone. They even had to halt trading twice because there was so much volatility. Right now if you look the price of bitcoin is 17,800. So most experts surprised with the amount of volume. That reflects how many more people want to be involved in the future of this digital currency. While this represents a milestone, experts are putting out all kinds of caution saying this new market could be roiled by hacks, by technical issues or manipulation schemes. Outright critics are there. They say the underlying markets for bitcoin are largely unregulated. They have a troubled history. If you go back to 2013, the Largest Bitcoin Exchange collapse ad year later after being robbed of more than 470 million worth of bitcoin. Buyer beware. One thing is certain. Along with that advice volatility clearly the name of the game. Well show you a oneweek chart. You can see basically it rose by about 50 on thursday. If you look at the whole week as a total, it broke the 1000dollar level within four times within a 40hour period but what wouldbe investor have to keep in mind, bitcoin going down too, since it is inception since 2009, it has crashed, lost its value by 80 or more at least five times. And neil, i know you had the cboe chairman on in the 1 00 p. M. Hour. I am looking forward to that conversation. I want to hear, i know you have tons of questions for him, but they do have to treat this product differently. So i want to
