We have a flurry of rocket fire. Weve seen that really since just about every night fall we see them. Tonight it was more intense. If were in cover right now. I see more launches from the gaza area. Big flurry of activity. That looks like its coming down. I dont think its going to intercept. Very well we could get some strikes here. Theres quite a few theres one going across the screen there. So quite a few rockets, quite a few intercepters making the doing their job. Were hearing a great deal of impact. If i shut up,
given your experience you often tend to be right about what you think when you see a crime. so as a former law enforcement guy, you see what we re all seeing today. what do you make of it? well, you know, tom winter had report earlier about the possibility that the attacker had posted something on social media, maybe something anti-semitic document. you know, that goes inside the head of the attacker. and of course, isis, al qaeda, all of these jihad groups are completely and totally anti-semitic, anti-jewish, anti-really. we all know that. so are the knee nazis. near completely anti-jewish. we saw in charlottesville. they re marching in their newer elm berg style rally jews will not replace us. so this is one thing terrorist groups, neo-nazi groups and jihadist groups share, hatred of the jewish people. that dent give us a big answer hold your thought there for just a second.
trailer. islamist militants trying to lure in like-minded europeans to join the caravan of jihad and it s working. the number of americans that come to fight with groups like isis and others has grown over time. reporter: u.s. officials estimate about 100 americans and thousands of europeans have poured into syria since the war started. some joining jihad groups like isis, they are there to study terrorism at the camps in the region. where americans and europeans can get training how to build bombs, counter intelligence, propaganda. it has become a foreign jihad battle field, that includes europeans, some with access potentially to the united states. reporter: a u.s. intelligence official tells cnn the man in this isis video with the blurred face is an american. a 22-year-old jihad from florida
group. well, reknow as well, they have tried to a we know they ve tried to attack in spain but this is the first attempt we re aware of. in the past it s been, okay, people have come to pakistan to get training al qaeda camps to attack inside britain, inside europe. inside the united states. azazi was one example. so there have been these examples. but what these people have done is buy into al qaeda s global view, this global view that the united states is against muslims. has a war with muslims. now you have a different dimension to add on to that. the pakistani taliban and these other jihad groups. some are very pervasive in the country. they ve been used as proxies by the government to fight in the kashmir region against indian forces on the other side of the border. they have a long history of training here. so now you open the scenario up here to more and more training
become radicals mckennitt wants to comprehend to hear valid in one on one dialogue she speaks fluent arabic and she has two things that work to her advantage. interviews. before i start an interview with jihadi leaders of jihad groups or foot soldiers or recruiters i always explain that i m a journalist everyone knows i work for the washington post i make no secret of that we don t do undercover stories i tell them i will listen to your side of things i want to ask you critical questions because perhaps i heard things about you from other people but i will publish the answers you give me fairly in my article. repeatedly hears of the conflict between sunnis and shiites she meets people with moral concepts and lifestyles that a differ. two hours but does that make them on acceptable. dialogue seems possible
