The fact that salah abdeslam, the only terrorist linked to the paris attacks still at large, wa s born, raised and radicalized and may be hiding here. Craig. Claudio, thank you. The hunt for those involved in the paris attacks is going wider with a key arrest in turkey. Nbhecs global correspondent bill ely i here with the latest for us. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. The investigation here and the crackdown on isis supporters continues. More than 800 raids across france so far. Almost 200 gun seized. Nearly 10h people arrested as you have seen in brussels, the effort across europe by police forces, it is not just in france. We had arrests in turkey this morning. Thupe net is widening right across europe. Under arrest this morning in turkey, three men suspected of ties to isis. Including a belgian thoug a to have scouted locations of the paris massacres. Across europe, police are hunting for the killers and their gang. French police are still trying identify th suicide bomber who detonated in the apartment they stormed. They found a third body in the rubble. This woman killed in the raid was not the bomber as they previously thought. I met the man who led the raid. The terror group they faced, he told me, were well trained. They shot just enough to be dangerous. We didnt see them. It was very difficult to know where they were. They knew what they were doing . Reporter he said the woman shouted im scared, im ared. Suddenly the suicide bomber detonates. The flash of lights and the building shook. Reporter the shields they used are bullet ridden. E you can see here. Reporter the terrorists fired to the head. The bullets come by this way. You can see the exit. Reporter the death toll from the massacres a week ago has risen to 130. But for danny plaugee, targeted by the gunman at the concert, everything has changed. There will be a before and after as it was for you people in new york city. There was a before and after in september. Reporter early this morning, paris was trying to begin a new normal weekend, but exactly a week after the massacres, it was rd to forget the victims to have courage amid the terror. And overnight at the United Nations, the Security Council adopted its first resolution against isis calling on countries to take all necessary means to confront isis which it called a global threat. Remember, all five permanent members, including the u. S. , u. Have had citizens killed by isis. China, russia in the plane bombing and here in france. Erica. Bill reely, thank you. Today, president obama is condemning the terror attack in the african nation of mali that left at least 20 people dead, including one au rican. Hnbcs keir simmons is there for us. Good morning. Reporter craig, good morning. The jihadists who carried out the attack on the luxury hotel behind me may still be on the loose. Three are being hunted. Mali malian president is urging a state of emergency and limiting the movements around the capital. The search forillers tn the Radisson Hotel was assisted by security agents. It is not clear this morning how many armed gunmen it took to terrorize guests. Two jihadists ere killed. Glass shatteredhihe are the men burst in as breakfast was under way shooting at everything that moved. These jihadists, they killed everyone, said a hotel employee. Rathey went room to room, releasing those they were muslim by reciting passages from the koran. Killinmathose who couldnt. Mali Security Forces rushed to the attack to aid. Our Diplomatic Security agents rushed in to pull people to safety. French tros,s and American Forces in the country for Training Mission provided support as did the United Nations forces. Thanks to the swift action and skill of all involved, many people escaped. Reporter byrthen, at least people killed. Including american aid worker anita from maryland. Her family spokesperson. We are devastated by the loss. Reporter the group claiming responsibility is the jihadist orocganization potentially linked to al qaeda, not isis, renewing their threat of global jihad. Th itis aitack claimedery the al qaeda affiliate so soon after e an tar tack on paris, people are worried that isis and al qaeda are worried. Keir simmons, thank you. We have a senior partner here about us. Evan, nice to have you. Thank you. The unprecedented terror wae rning for belgium for the an w alert alert. And the precise coordinated attacks. What more do you know . In we dont know much because the police in belgium are not saying much. They seem to havsae similar concerns to what happened in paris. If you look at what is going on in brussels, you get an idea. You have the one individual running right now from authorities. Supposedly some are angry with him because he did not detonate a weapon. Obviously if you are looking at the targets they are selecting or targets they are worried about, metro, shops, malls, hotels, the same targets we saw in paris. I think it is fair to say it comes from the same source. Isis or isis supporters. I want to pick up what keir said on the end there. The idea there may be some sort of rivalry brewing with the two. The al qaeda connected group that has taken credit for mali d isis in paris. I we have to be careful. We have a communication. Wein are not sure it is authentic. Lee. Ts just say it is. Lets say it is al qaeda. The operation in mali could have been prepared for months or years. We dont know. This is something it wasnt and organized as paris there were not suicide bomb vests. These guys had a plan. This is possibly a symptom of the competition with al qaeda and isis. Itgo to. Is not necessarily linked to what happened in paris. These folks have been Planning Operations for a while. Itja is to be said one potential targets, mokhtar belmokhtar, was targeting the u. S. With the air strike in libya. It is fair to say the impetus for this did not come up last week or the week before. This could be many months old. Evan coleman, thank you. The terror scares around the world have put the issue of immigration front and center in the president ial campaign. Gop frontrunner donald trump is facing Harsh Criticism for delling for a muslim tracking database. He seems to be walking i back a bit.

Blaming background noise for mishearing an exchange with nbc ws in which he did not rule out a database for tracking muslims in the United States. I would implement that. Absolutely. Reporter later . Mr. Trump, why would that not be the same thig as requiring jews to register in nazi, germany . Is there a difference . Who are you with . Im with nbc news. Is there a difference . You tell me. Reporter now trump says . I want a database for the Syrian Refugees that obama wants to let in. Reporter trump looking to fend off more falloutss, aore groups denounce his remarks. So did democrats. Ou i dont think we should be engaging in the kind of inflammatory rhetoric i have been hearing from some of the republican candidates. Eporter republican rivals. You talk about closing mosques, you talk about registering people. Thats just wrong. Im a big fan of donald trumps, but not a fan of government reg ytries of american citizens. Reporter trump still the frontrunner of the survey monkey poll. Interrupted by protesters eaaly, the loudest voices were saved for slamming promise esident obama. We had a president spending more time attacking republicans than more time than attacking isis. Reporter president obama visited refugee children in kuala lumpur overnight as the debate over Syrian Refugees entering the u. S. Continues here at home. The president promising as long as he is in office, america is a plpiace where people face violence and discrimination can find safe haven. Hallie, thank you. A big scare at a High School Football game in miami. Sheinelle has more on that. Good morning. That game in miami, that Football Game ends in chaos.

It took the emergency crews more than an hour to cut the driver from the wreck. And there is word of an escape from the sequoia park zoo. The concern is for the animal that is on the run. The red panda that got out of her enclosure. She is perfect prey for larger predators and her diet is bamboo, which she is not likely to find. Finally, a creative pro sal with something of a food focus. Take a look. A canadian man decided to pop e question using potatoes on his front lawn. More than 200, in fact. I dont know if she is a potato lover. Apparently she liked the gesture. You can see, the hug means she said yes. A man proposes to you using potatoes, you better say te why . I dont know. Its hard to find all of the tatoes in the si size to lay them out evenly. There you go. It is thoughtful and took planning. Ewlan, how about the weather . I should stay away from the potato talk.
