CNNW Around The World October 7, 2013

Workers and republican john boehner is saying now. Welcome to around the world. Im suzanne malveaux. And iams michael holmes. Snatching a most wanted terrorist abroad in daylight. Right now, anas al libi is being held on a navy ship. There are a team of terrorist experts who want to question him. They want to find out what does he know about al qaeda. Of course, that could be a lot. Well get details about how this top secret operation played out from nic robertson. Reporter its a big deal, 15 years on the run, a 5 million bounty on his head. Anas al libi captured in less than a minute. The senior operative picked up in a predawn raid by authorities in his native libya. Believed to be a mastermind of the al qaeda attacks on the u. S. Embassies in kenya and tanzania in 1998, he is accused of conspiracy to commit murder, destruction of national buildings, and government, destruction of National Defense facilities in the United States. According to al libis wife who saw the takedown at their house in tripoli. He was on his way back from prayers Early Saturday Morning when ten men rushed his car. And before he could snatch his pistol from the glove box, he was overpowered. It was all over in seconds driven away in three cars. The United States says its a lawful arrest. The United States of america will not stop for those who conduct acts of terror. For those membered of al qaeda literally run and hide. Reporter but it may not be so simple, the Libyan Government is demanding answers calling al libis capture a kidnapping. Questions also about al libis current al qaeda credentials, believed by this former colleague to be retired from terrorism. I dont its a valuable source of confirmation. I still believe he was a very low reporter he said al libi returned to tripoli two years ago living in plain sight of the weak libyan authorities, at the time when al qaeda was setting up training camps, ramping up operations in the aftermath of the overthrow of libyan dictator moammar gadhafi. According to him, there is no known ties between al libi and the 2012 u. S. Consulate attack in benghazi that killed four u. S. Officials including u. S. Ambassador chris stevens. Nevertheless, he says a warning for al qaeda, the us now in the offensive in libya. They tried to convince people america is soft, america wont go to war, americans are coward. Thats exactly what they keep teaching from western years. I want to bring in nic from london. Tell us about the interrogation process here. He is in u. S. Custody. What is legallial allowed in terms of trying to get information that this guy . Well, from what we understand, hell be in the hands of this navy vessel very likely in the mediterranean sea. They will be able to sit him down, ask him questions, without torture, to try and find out what he knows. His wife has said he doesnt know very much. She indicates he left al qaeda in the 1980, but hes not been involved in the organization. This may be a man who will be living in plain sight in libya who is actually prepared to sit down and open up. We dont know that. We dont know how readily he will be trusted but thats what we expect to happen. He said hes been close to osama bin laden. I mean, he certainly played a role in the past. There seems to be little doubt. Is there any suggestion or rumblings that al qaeda may retaliate for this sort of action . Al qaeda has been digging into libya specifically since gadhafi was overthrown. Talk men al zawahiri, the head of al qaeda has sent operate of us to training camps, theyve been able to do that absolutely, their praft operatives are goin take this very baldly. There are other strong islamist elements that will want to take advantage of this. They will want to push this in the governments face to show they dont have control of the country. There are many that may want to try to attack u. S. Targets and try to weaken this current Libyan Government. Were going to see in next days or perhaps weeks what theyre going to try to pull off. Thanks very much. Nic robertson with the latest on that. We told you sources grabbed al libi and only one person outside of their home who witnessed, his wife. He had an exclusive interview. She defends her husband, she said he used to be in al qaeda, but isnt any more. Translator hes my husband and i know him. He was not in contact with anybody before he got back to libya. I came back before he did, in a year and a month or two, he had no contact with smith. It is true my husband was a member of al qaeda. He left al qaeda in 1996, two years before the bombings. He did not take part in any bombings anywhere in the world. He participated in the jihad in afghanistan. He was a member of al qaeda and he was personal security for osama bin laden. Thats the truth. He did not take pat of any operation. She says she doesnt know who actually took her husband but she describes them as men who looked like they were libyans. They spoke arabic with libyan accents. You have to wonder whether or not this makes any difference at all, whether he was involved with the bombing or an extra treasure trove of information that he was involved with bin laden back in the bombing days. Its interesting what it says about the state of the Libyan Government. That the government who ostensibly was a friend of the u. S. Wasnt involved in this. Libya is a country that still is having a lot of problems in terms of governance. Nic was saying it faces implications how is that going to turn out . All sort of legal implications, questioning this guy without his legal. Were going to talk to clark howard coming up. Ahead on the partial shutdown, no end in sight. Still an even bigger crisis, of course, the october 17th deadline. The government is no longer able to pay its bills if congress does not raise the limit on the socalled debt ceiling. The u. S. Could default. That is a big deal. Ted cruz wants to tie any increase to obama care. He talked to Candy Crowley on state of the union hes dead set on killing the president S Health Care law by tying it to any vote on the budget. Debt ceiling historically has been amongst best leverage that congress has to rein in the executives. So, yes . Yes. And what else . My point is theres great historical precedence. Since 1978, weve raised the debt ceiling 55 times. A majority of those tyimes, 28 times, congress has attached very specific and stringent requirements. Spoker john boehner appears to be siding with ted cruz and the caucus. Heres what he said on abc just this weekend. The American People expect in washington, when they have a crisis like this that the leaders will sit down and have a conversation. Were interested in having a conversation about how we open the government and how they begin to pay our bills. But it begins with a simple conversation. The vote, not in the house to pass a clean debt limit. And the president is risking default by not having a conversation with us. The debt limit is right around the corner. The president saying i wont negotiate. I wont have a conversation. Even though president reagan negotiated over democrats who controlled the congress back then. Gave president George Herbert walker bush had a conversation about raising the debt limit. During the Clinton Administration there were three conversations over the debt limit. You and i participated in three of those. And now hes say i am not going to do this. Im going to tell you this, george, the nations credit is at risk because of the governments refusal to sit down and have a conversation. Speaker couldnt be more clear there. He doesnt have the votes on the floor to get a socalled clean budget passed that would reopen the government and relieve the tension about the debt ceiling but new york governor Charles Schumer said thats not the case. Listen what he said on new day. Id reissue my friendly challenge to Speaker Boehner. Just put it on the floor. Lets see if we have votes. I have very little doubt if Speaker Boehner put it on the floor would pass, i think the real reason he doesnt put it on the floor it would enrage the tea party. Lets bring in jim acosta at the white house. Jim, im sure we can take a tally and figure out what the real vote is do they have enough votes to pass a clean resolution . Thats what theyve been saying after john boehner made those comments on the sunday talk shows, jay carney, on twitter yesterday saying lets prove it, lets have a vote at the house of representatives and see if the votes are there. Suzanne, i want to give you a little bit of news on this debt ceiling front because as you heard the last couple weeks theres been no movement on either side, either House Republicans or the president when it comes to raising the debt ceiling. Perhaps some conciliatory language coming out of the white house this morning, suzanne and michael. I want to bring those to you because according to the white house official that spoke to cnn. The white house is now negotiable when it comes to the length of the increase. I talked to an official who said, quote, its up to them to pass the debt ceiling increase. Why is that important . If the president and congress could agree on, lets say, a shortterm debt limit increase, perhaps until the end of the year, that would give both sides some breathing room to work out perhaps a larger compromise that gets the country maybe a year down on the road on the debt ceiling. A year down the road on a budget. And sort of takes away the specter on the debt default on act 17th. Maybe just a Little Movement there, maybe perhaps just a millimeter, but perhaps at least a sign of some conciliatory but, jim in terms of the insecurity that all of this has created, i mean, that is the classic kicking the can down the road, isnt it . That is kicking the can down the road, michael. But theyve been doing that in washington for some time. But it does raise the possibility that perhaps they can kick the can a lot farther down the road if they can get the shortterm debt increase in the short term. If they can do it sooner than later and not go into got on october 17th, that might give everybody some breathing room. I want to point out that gene sperling, one of the president s top economic advisers, he was at a breakfast hosted by politico, white house officials want to stress that theyre not offering any kind of concessions, toying with obama care, budget concessions, that sort of thing in exchange for raising the debt ceiling but they are perhaps willing to accept a shortterm increase in the debt ceiling to get this crisis done with now. Thank you, jim acosta. You know, the thinking the political thinking is theyre going to move it forward until after the election. Just keep it short term, short term. By the way, were going to hear what arizona senator john mccain think about the shutdown showdown. Hes going to be on piers morgan live tonight. Heres more of what were working on for around the world hear why billionaire investor Warren Buffett thinks that messing with the debt ceiling is like playing with a nuclear bomb. Thats right.

Theres still 5,032 planes in the sky. We call this ants on candy. The good news is, the airplanes arent that big or we would never see the sunshine. Oh, boy, that looks busy. Im not sure i ever want to the see that map ever again. Thank you, chad. Thats a little intimidating. It is. Sad news, horrible crash at the grand prix of houston leading a threetime indy 500 winner injured. And a lot of fans hurt as well. Well have that after the break. Now to houston, incredible pictures, here they come. Right there, that violent crash at the grand prix in houston. A threetime indy winner, Dario Franchitti was seriously injured in this wreck. He did get a concussion, a fractured spine, broken ankle but is listed in good condition. Thank goodness. Good lord, when you see that, its unbelievable. Its unbelievable that he survived just flew into the fencing there and the debris came down on so many people. Like snap nell. Listen to one iwitness. They were working on the last lap. I knew to start filming there because i thought this would be the most intently fought lap of the race. When they were coming out of the corner, the last turn, i noticed one of the drivers was actually attempting to pass. His left rear tire actually went up on the driver. The car started coming in the air. This all happened less than a second. There was for time to move. There was no time to run away. The thought in my mind was that these were going to be the last moments i was going to be experiencing on earth. It was truly shocking. The car struck the fence and literally people say they heard a bomb. It sounded like there was a bomb that went off. And the car turned into debris. It was once an entire car. And then nothing but particles rained upon us. The fence exploded in on us. It was truly shocking. That guy is just lucky, absolutely lucky. Unbelievable. Small bits of dibbry. Debris. Its amazing. Were looking at the markets here. You see the dow at 14,000, down 81 points or so. Analysts say the markets are slipping because there are concerns, of course, that the u. S. Is getting too low to breaching the debt ceiling. How big of a deal is this all of . One of the most respected in the world Warren Buffett said its now being used as a political tool. It makes absolutely no sense to let it be used as a leverage. For abortion, whatever, tax falls, whatever, let that being a piece of legislation, but to tie it to something whether or not you make the promises of the United States government to people all over the world, as well as its own citizens just makes no sense. So it ought to be banned as a weapon. It should be like it should be like nuclear bombs, i mean, basically too horrible to use. Yeah. Richard quest joins us now. Richard pretty blunt criticism from a respected investor. Dow down 80 points. Half a percentage point. It was down a lot more at the start of trading. Tell us about what kind of threat this is to the economy and to the market. Okay. Youve really got the biggest threat at all of course is not the but shenanigans at the moment. The u. S. Government will eventually reopen. A deal will be done. There will be a bounceback. Barclays was estimating a tenth to a quarter percent of Third Quarter gdp. So the budget crisis on its own is really politics pure and simple. Its this debt ceiling issue that keeps coming back. The defaults and by far and away the most serious. The reason is very simple to understand. The u. S. Debt is the back bone of the global economy. And there are trillions and trillions of dollars. 16 trillion. 13 trillion from the u. S. Treasury. Several more trillion in various other assets and backed securities. And they are the Pillars Holding up, if you like, the entire Global Financial system. Now, michael and suzanne, if i say to you, look, im not going to pay back my debt to you. Youll say, thank you very much. Thats the last time we lend you any money. And nobody really cares much ta tab. But if the u. S. Government does this its as if youre being told the sun isnt fliegtz east. Its as if youre being told that the earth is no longer round. And its as if youre being told that gravity no longer exists. The financial world relies upon. So in light of all of those comparisons, i mean, investors outside of the United States must be pretty concerned. Youre talking about to the far east as well as european invests. Have we started to see any movement in reaction on their part . You look at europe and asia today, theyre all tanking. Or g
