Forces killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011. Only 23 of americans believe the president has a clear plan for dealing with isis. His strategy includes air strikes in iraq and syria, and david martin tells us the latest targets include oil. Reporter two air strikes, the most recent over the weekend, have destroyed almost 500 tanker trucks isis uses to smuggle oil and sell it on the black market. By one estimate, the attacks have destroyed roughly half the trucks isis uses to bring in 1 million a day in revenues. Until now the u. S. Has not gone after the tankers for fear of killing the civilian drivers. In these strikes, u. S. Planes first dropped leaflets warning the drivers. And then they conducted strafing runs to scare them away. The u. S. Has also loosened the rules on civilian casualties. Previously a strike would be called off if any civilians were spotted in the area. For these, more than five civilians had to be in the target area before the strike would be called off. The french have now begun launching strikes against isis from an Aircraft Carrier in the eastern mediterranean. And the russians have fired a total of 42 cruise missiles against isis targets in syria. Cutting off oil revenues will degrade isis, but the quickest way to defeat it on the battlefield is to seize its capital of raqqah in syria. The red line on this pentagon map shows how close u. S. Backed fighters are to raqqah, just 30 miles to the north and 100 miles to the east. U. S. Officials say the fighters to the north dont have enough combat power to take raqqah and the fighters to the east must first push south to seize a key road junction before advancing on raqqah. The fighters will be assisted by 50 American Green berets, but they are not expected to get there until next month. Think of it as a race against time, scott. Can u. S. Backed fighte seize raqqah before isis can launch another terrorist attack against the west . David martin reporting from the pentagon tonight. David, thank you. In the president ial campaign, Donald Trumps recollection of 9 11 is being called into question. Rival ben carson backed him up until he didnt. Nancy cordes has that. I watched in jersey city, new jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Reporter Donald Trumps claim that he saw footage of Muslim Americans celebrating 9 11 attacks was disputed today by fact checkers, by new jersey officials and by law enforcement. But not by his closest rival, dr. Ben carson. Did you see that happening, though, on 9 11 . I saw the film of it, yes. In new jersey . Yes. Reporter carson later apologized, saying he was thinking of celebrations abroad, not at home. But both he and trump argue muslimamericans should be monitored more heavily. Its a marked departure from the republican partys last president. Islam is peace. Reporter who quoted from the koran after 9 11 and called for tolerance. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the islamic faith. Reporter Fran Townsend was president bushs Homeland Security adviser. Why was it important for him to Say Something like that . We have gulf arab partners, in muslim countries, who have helped in the war on terror. We need those folks to understand, this is not a war with their religion. Reporter she argues republicans should welcome well vetted Syrian Refugees to the u. S. For one key reason these refugees who are fleeing isis who dont agree with them are a potential real treasure trove of intelligence. Reporter townsend said shes surprised president obama himself hasnt made that case. Scott, our poll shows as of right now, half of americans agree with trump that the refugees should not be let in. Nancy cordes, thanks. Iran has sentenced Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian to prison, but it did not say for how long. Rezaian is a dual citizen of u. S. And iran.

Today the nfl said its investigating why the quarterback of the st. Louis rams remained in the game yesterday after banging his head after a collision with a 300 pound lineman. Heres jeff glor. Reporter with the score tied, time running out and the st. Louis rams trying to mount a gamewinning drive, what happened to quarterback case keenum seemed unmistakable. His head slammed the turf. He seized his helmet in pain. He couldnt even get up with assistance. The helmet to the ground. One of the troubling spots when we talk about concussions at the nfl level. Reporter but keenum never left the field. It seems obvious to everybody. Reporter dr. Douglas smith with the university of pennsylvania studies brain injury and repair. We want to take them out of play and keep an eye on them to make sure they dont go back into the game before its too soon. Reporter the nfl has a concussion protocol to handle these exact situations. It spells out concussion signals as well as Health Markers required to resume play and avoid further injury. There is also now an athletic trainer above the field with the authority to stop a game at any time. Commissioner Roger Goodell told 60 minutes just last week he believes the league is safer than ever. I do believe its safer, but injuries are part of active sports. And theyre certainly part of football. Football is a contactsport. Reporter on sunday, however, after this contact, no one had keenum properly checked off the field until after the game, when a concussion was confirmed. The nfl says tonight it is investigating. Rams coach jeff fisher just held a news conference. He said he didnt see his quarterback stumbling and that the spotter above the field saw a trainer on the field so didnt stop play. He says the trainer was told to leave the field by an nfl official. Everyone seems to be pointing in a different direction, so, scott, tonight, a decent amount for the league to sort out. Jeff, thank you very much. Some rough weathers on the menu for millions this thanksgiving, that story is next. Theres an arrest tonight in the shooting of a Good Samaritan in new orleans.

Reporter well, scott, good evening to you. Well be watching a storm starting to move ashore over the next 24 hours, but for the early travelers, were off to a great start on this holiday week. Coast to coast, wall to wall, pretty quiet conditions. However, things will start to change. Good news is for anyone watching in the east tonight, quiet and chilly in the northeast over these next two days, big travel ones. Across the southeast, quiet, seasonal temperatures, and some rain showers start to move into the upper midwest by the time we head into wednesday. The storm in question here is the one in the west. This is one that will bring some significant snow and a lot of cold over these next 48 hours. That storm diving down across the west coast and then pushing its way inland. So we head into the day on wednesday, plenty of mountain snow to go along with it, especially in the sierras, the southern cascades could pick up over a foot of snowfall. This is a storm system well watch into the middle of the country for thanksgiving itself. Well have quiet weather on both of the coasts, but its right in the middle that we have a mess. As thanksgiving moves along, heavy rain breaks out along the southern plains. Ice and snow on the back side. Scott, this is a storm system to keep a close eye on for the holiday itself. Eric fisher, wbz. Eric, thanks very much. In a moment, the worst traffic jams in america. Finally tonight, for many getting to work is a fulltime job. And a report out today names the 50 worst traffic bottlenecks in america. Number one is in chicago. Total traffic and Weather Network is providing us with this live picture. And heres transportation correspondent kris van cleave. Reporter every day drivers in chicago collectively spend nearly 65,000 hours stuck in this. I give myself about an hour and a half to get to work. Reporter after chicago the next six worst bottlenecks in the country are all in los angeles. In downtown, a two and a half mile stretch of the harbor freeway has 12 on and off ramps and two major interchanges, making it a magnet for traffic. [horn honks] the worst bottleneck on the east coast is the lincoln tunnel connecting new york city and new jersey. Altogether drivers there experience 3. 4 million hours of delays each year, but the bottlenecks arent just in megacities. Austin comes in at number ten. Norfolk, virginia, also made the list. Secretary of transportation anthony foxx. I think what people should think about is that the traffic theyre experiencing on thanksgiving holiday could be traffic every day over the next 30 years if were not careful. We need to make the investments in our infrastructure. Reporter investments in Solutions Like coordinated traffic lights, metered on ramps and highoccupancy toll lanes. Commuter jose vasquez uses an app on his smartphone called waze to try to avoid the worst of the backups. It will tell you which one not to take, but, you know, its going to be the lesser of the two evils. Reporter but theres hope. The Woodrow Wilson bridge outside of washington, d. C. , dropped off the list after it was rebuilt to better handle the traffic. And however bad the commute gets, it is still better than this mindboggling 50lane traffic jam in october outside beijing lasting for hours. All that time stuck in traffic translates to 2. 4 billion in lost productivity annually and, scott, researchers say if youre able to fix even 30 of those bottlenecks, you save an estimated 35 million gallons of gas a year. Kris van cleave on the road for us tonight. Kris, thanks very much. If youd like to see if your city is one of the 50 worst bottlenecks, go to our facebook page. Youll find it at facebook. Com cbseveningnews. Thats the cbs overnight news for this tuesday. For some of you the news continues. For others check back later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im anna warner. The capital of belgium remains on lockdown today for fear of a terrorist strike similar to the one that gripped paris more than a week ago. Here in the u. S. , its thanksgiving week, where nearly 47 million americans will travel to their holiday feast. Security is tight at the bridges, tunnels and airports. Jeff pegues reports from reagan national. Reporter u. S. Officials say theres no specific or credible threat against the u. S. , do not expect to breeze through security at the nations airports. There will be tougher screening in place, even for prechecked passengers. Tsa workers will be taking more time going through bags. The Holiday Travel season begins amid heightened security across the country. Something like paris happens, people may be a little more nervous. Reporter following the terrorist attacks in paris, false bomb threats diverted at least three flights. Several other flights have been disrupted after passengers voiced security concerns. Sunday, officers escorted three men off a Southwest Airlines flight for suspicious behavior. They were later cleared. People are a little on edge with everything going on. Reporter more than a week after the attacks in france, major u. S. Cities remain on alert. On sunday, the new York City Police department ran an active Shooter Drill in the citys subway system. The training, which took nearly a year to plan, involved a target in a suicide vest. In the scenario, the first command may be drop the gun and put your hands up. In the suicide belt scenario, that might not be enough. Reporter secretary of Homeland Security, jeh johnson. Its important for all americans to know that your law enforcement, national security, intelligence communities are continually on the job, working overtime, to ensure that the homeland is safe. Reporter members of congress have been critical of tsa in recent months after an undercover investigation revealed major gaps in security. So this week will be a test, coming so soon after the paris attacks. But the agency says it is up to the job. A cbs news poll Shows Americans are split, mostly along party lines, over whether or not to accept Syrian Refugees. 68 of republicans say refugees from syria should not be allowed into the u. S. 63 of democrats say they should be allowed, as long as they pass a security clearance. But 78 of all those surveyed say there must be stricter screening of those refugees. The Texas Governor isnt waiting for new screening procedures. Hes ordered volunteer groups to stop bringing the migrants to the lonestar state. Nearly 200 have already arrived this year. Manuel bojorquez visited one syrian family who got in under the wire. Reporter greg abbott was among the first governors to stop accepting Syrian Refugees, after the paris attacks, citing security concerns. As that debate rages on, Syrian Refugees already in the United States are trying to adjust to a new life as best they can. The playground where faez takes his family is a world away of his hometown of darwa, syria. He said this is what his Old Neighborhood looks like now. He and his wife, they asked us not to reveal their last names, fled in 2013 to jordan where they applied for Refugee Status in the u. S. , a twoyear process. This february they moved near dallas and are raising two daughters, an infant and toddler. He works at walmart and is learning to speak english. Im happy because i live in america. Reporter but they also feel misjudged after the paris attacks, and after texas recently ordered volunteer organizations that help resettle refugees from syria to discontinue those plans immediately. Do you think the process you went through is enough to possibly root out anyone who could try to be coming in to carry out terror here . Its impossible that any terrorist can come to america through any refugee program. There are six or seven months for a background check. Many of the attackers in paris were french nationals and lived in belgium. However, one bomber had a fake syrian passport and travelled with the waves of refugees that overwhelmed europe in recent months. In texas, there is another worry, the border with mexico. Three syrian families arrived there last week and surrendered to immigration officials, apparently seeking asylum. On saturday, about a dozen people, some armed with long guns, protested in front of a mosque outside dallas. Were here protesting Syrian Refugees coming to america, protesting the islamization of america. Reporter the next day, when we asked to spend more time with the family, they declined, citing concerns over their safety. There have been rallies here in support of refugees, as well. While the governor of texas said st
