There have been several reported sightings over the last hour or two and Police Activity related to those sightings. Nothing so far confirmed. To the south of paris this morning, world of another shooting two people hit, including a Police Officer, a woman who was killed. We are now told that is not related to this. You can imagine how its put the city already on edge even further in a state of anxiety. Its a day of mourning here in paris. People have come here to pay their respects and honor the victims. With flags at halfstaff and security at full strength the bells of netter dame child at noon as paris paused to take in the last 24 hours. Amid a flurry of arrests overnight, authorities announced they were looking for these two men, brothers cherif and s a ed kouachi. Police calling them armed and dangerous. An 18yearold named by police turned himself in overnight. It was around 11 30 a. M. When masked gunmen shouting in arabic zbod is great, forced their way into the officers of the weekly paper, where employees were gathered for a staff meeting. They killed 12 people.

Gem Michael Hayden is the former director of the c i a. He is with a Global Risk Management advisory firm. Good morning circumstance im sure you looked closely at this video. You have of course a trained eye. Tell me what you see, are these attackers who in your estimation have a lot of sophistication and training . Reporter they do. Particularly compared to the other attacks we seen in ottowa in sydney and elsewhere. They are comfortable in their own skin comfortable with their weapons. They were calm. This wasnt a random attack. It was well planned. It wasnt a suicidal attack. They escaped in order to be able kill again. And so this is kind of the high end of the new genre of the attacks, im afraid we will see for some time now. The self radicalized, the selfmotivated kind of individual living living in full view pence western democracy. And i wonder if this is the new flav of terrorism that we should come to expect in the wake of 9 11 you dont see, thankfully those massive operations rather these lone wolf attacks. We saw what happened in canada. We saw what happened before christmas in sydney australia. Thats frankly, savannah, a bitter measure of success. Those iconic targets were slow moving complicated, multiple actors. Weve gotten good at preventing those now. They just take too long to get evolved. We get involved and we stop them. So now what we have are driveby shootings and self radicalized individuals and suvs in times square. The attacks we saw on a Shopping Mall in kenya, now what we saw yesterday. I should add, i repeat again, what we saw yesterday is probably the high end of this kind of assault. But on the other end, the suspects werent exactly unknown to authorities. One has actually served time in prison for trying to go to iraq and fight american soldiers there. Does that just speak to how difficult it is for french authorities or frankly any authorities to track these guys . Oh it really really does. Lets give credit where credit is do you. The french are very good at this. Their external service, dst, are very strong very aggressive frankly, savannah under french law, theyve got a lot more freedom of action than we do with Similar Services unamerican law. So the fact that these guys survive and thrive in france of all places should be particularly troubling. Very very quickly, you mentioned this earlier him i want to pick up on it. I dont know if were making too much of it. In contrast to many many of these attacks these are two suspects who plan to get away. They had a get away car. They were not there to die as martyrs but to kill. No exactly right. And im afraid its a measure of the increased sophistication of this kind of attack.
