In eastern paris, it was 2005, the war in iraq was at its height. The world was shocked by pictures of abuse of prisoners in american custody, and the leader of al kade do in iraq was battling u. S. Forces attracting foreign fighters from around the nobody.

The network trained here in this park at the same name. Working out, trying to get in shape to go off to join al quaida in iraq. Cherif kouachi has already bout his plane ticket when he was arrested.

So it is almost like going to school.

John pierre is a professor of middle east history and long time advisor to the french government the principle in al quaida, and isis which is centralization of decentralization of execution. So probably a sign targets and jewish [how did they misthese 31 answer is the size. There are about 6,000 people who pose a risk. And that means a judgements have to be made about who should be watched and who should not. Theres a grown of people of individuals was under civilians for some time. And after a while, the Intelligence Services decided that there was no more risk. They arent up to anything. Yes. And so they decided to first to reduce, and then to lift simply the civilians from them, because they were other priorities at the time. What is the lesson . If someone can be radicalized, commit crimes, be convicted of terror related offense dozen take time, come out, seem to pose new threat, sleep for a while, and then go on to commit every graver offenses. Without notice. Theres no pretty much nothing to do, because again these people have been condemned as you said, we can put better civilians on them or lighter, but it is still means we still need resources to do that. One l. That is puzzling how did gunman from two competing organizations come to collaborate at a time when they are fighting each other on the frowned in the middle east . Competing for recruits financing and press siege. You have an incredibly wide battle between historical al quaida, and extensive to try and get the leadership of global jihad and the operation is now a card in this game. What was essential in this action was the friendship that they had together more than any religions or closeness to a specific terrorist network. A deadly friendship that left families and france mourning 17 people. Journalists, Police Officers and uses. All targeted because of who or what they were. America tonight, sheila mcvickser standing by now in paris. Sheila as french intelligence continues to look at this case, now just over one week since the shootings began, what are they looking for now . They are trying to follow a trail of who was supplying these people. Not just who is supplying them, but who is helping them. Police now know that he went to spain early in january, he went with there with the woman who is now described as the most wanted woman in france, that is his wife who is believed to be in northern syria, but they know he came back with someone whose identity is still unknown to them. They are looking for people that supplied them with cars and weapons, they are trying to figure out how they paid for them. 16,000 on the black market here, we with know that he took out a bank loan, for 6,000 euros in december.

It doesnt change the world but it does influence the way people think. Surprising. No edits exclusive one on one interviews with the most interesting people of our time. Youre taking me to a place in this interview i havent been before. Conversations you wont find anywhere else. Talk to al jazeera. Monday 9 30 eastern. Only on Al Jazeera America. The university of v drive last semester was a grueling one. There were student suicide an abduction and murder, and then just before the holiday explosive allegations of a gang rape inside a popular from tern picture p but enthis the expose say that ignited all the drove came under fire itself, and now as classes start up again, the lessons learn as u. V. A. Tries to recover its reputation on and off campus. America tonight reports from charlottesville. As classes began, the administration lifted the ban it had imposed on social activities. And the house where the rape allegedly took place was reopened. But parties wont look the same. There are new rules. A minimum of three sober brothers at each fraternity function. Beer served in closed containers and for certain events guest lists and security guards at the door. But will it make a difference . Is we reached out to all 47 of the fraternities be uh the only fraternity president willing to speak to us, was ryan duffy. Do you think of the fraternities were unfairly target. I think a lot of people did feel that way. Theres a stereotype that by no means could ever describe every single person, or even a small faction of them. Liian should know. He had a starring role in the version of events made notorious by the Rolling Stone article. He was the first person that he called after the alleged assault. I got a call from jackie, he said hey, something bad happened come meet me outside of the dorm. She was sitting on a picnic table, and it looked like she had been crying, so i walked over, and when i got here, she was sit ryan told us at first he believed her, but after reading the article things didnt add up. There wasnt anything about her appearance that would have indicated she need to go to the hospital, but i did say we should go to the police about this. So that part may be based in truth, the article does talk about a conversation can in which we with discussed the social price of reporting a rape says that alex, kathryn and i decided not to report it because we with thought we with wouldnt get into fraternity parties. That wasnt true at all. Is there a part of you that believes what you read in print, you assume they have gone through enough challenges to make sure it is true since november, he has been covering one of the biggest stories in recent memory. I think the time i first read the version online, words were with happening from the front of the classroom, but nobody was with paying attention, every screen with the image of that girl as the university reacted others were less surprised like third year student. It was kind of a feeling of oh no not again because students were saying things like well i know stories like this, i too have been assaulted or raped at a frat, and while i was glad that all of these things were coming out into the open, so that we can hopefully do something about it, again, it was this thought of how can all of those have happened were we with behind . Was i behind . There were rallies on campus. University president Teresa Sullivan not only suspended all fraternity social activities for the rest of the semester, but listening add new zero tolerance policy, but there were some who felt the administration rushed to judgement. Thomas turnser a junior. His father is a law professor. Would you say theres anything like a rape culture on campus. I dont think theres a rape culture here, this is a really strong thing to say, i have never met anybody that doesnt think rape is a serious thing. The letter saying there would be no social activities until the new semester started, suggests that she has accepted the charges as true just shocked up. It was surprising to see that, almost nobody was with willing to denounce it went it came out. In the weeks that follows jackies story fell apart. On my part there was anger, because there are always people who will say that the culture doesnt exist, and wall of this is being made up, which is of course, not true. But this does add fuel to the fire. I do feel that even if her story is not true, or effort pas of it are not true, that in no way negates the fact that there are so many other stories that have come to light since then. On monday morning the first day, the Police Released the findings of their investigation, there was no basis that the gang rape had occurred. Do you feel the roller stone omac zone has damaged the reputation. I hope there is a jury. I think it will have to come from the fraternity, put at least the fraternity out to sue, both the reporter and the newspaper. It looks like she has been through something. Whatever the facts they are now preoccupied with making sure it can never happen here in the future what are fraternities doing now . I think thats an Awareness Among the greek system, that fraternities are trying to be more active in making sure that everything is running safely. It seems probablematic to me in a lot of ways because a lot of it is selfenforced and fraternities wont always be the best judgements of their own behavior. But i do think that change has to start somebody. I think the semester will be a trial period. But for students like elizabeth, what happens after assaults is still problematic. Moist beam by now have been exposed. Since the sexual misconduct, trying the police are trying but it hasnt been enough. And i am not sure if i know what more should have been done. It clearly has failed people in so many ways. They are asking for advice and input. They are willing to say, they dont know the best policy our policy may not be the best, but they want to figure out that would look like. In an attempt to get a more accurate picture of sexual assault. It has made a big difference for at least one student. You can report it to the police. Last month, elizabeth reported to the administration that she is a victim of sexual assault. Did you hear anybody talk about backlash against the credibility of those that would say they are victims in. Well, the general sense is that everybody wants the focus to be on about doing something about sexual assault, the concern is now if people come forward now, will people believe them, no one with was questioning that sexual assaults happens this is not supposed to be considers proof that hey, people lie about rape. The administration, all the students are real listeriaing to sold a very strong commitment to doing something and figure out somewhat to so going is store sword is. Side so much so is is is is is. But there are two that are holding off, they dont want with to sign the agreement saying hey, we were unfairly targeted. You pushed us off campus, when there was no base toys do so. We were with falsely accused. And now we went wont play along. We with didnt do anything to deserve to have our activities totally with held. So now going is store is is sword is we is is is is havent is is is is is is is is is is is is is sure by is is want is is so spray is is inti is your view s we will see. Thank you very much. Next on america tonight, a meise sells outbreak, and how parents in Southern California contributed to it. So when a doctor says to you these methods are safe, and necessary, what do you say . I think thats their opinion i disagree. America tonights michael ocue on parents just saying no to vaccines that could save lives. And on dr.
