We dont quite know what the motivation was. the big picture is the threat has gone down because of the territorial destruction of isis and caliphate. the threat has gone down in the united states and because many are on the run. there still is significant residual threat. >> certainly. >> the people who never traveled or traveled to these conflict zones and security services have to watch out in months ahead. >> our law enforcement analyst, josh was saying they were looking at this adecrease tha...

Isis fight in syria and iraq. there was concern when they came back. theres still concern about some of those who have come back. its a real concern now that isis has lost its caliphate and people are looking for ways to get back to their countries of origin. generally the view is there is not a big wave coming into the uk. the security services have better experience at tracking, coordination with other intelligence officials across europe. so i think the perception that been that it is general...

The likelihood for a retaliatory attacks certainly goes up, jim. but there is another factor here, and that is with the territorial caliphate in iraq and syria being reclaimed by coalition forces, we are seeing foreign fighters returning to their host countries or returning to europe which is another contributing factor as well. and finally with the territorial caliphate being taken from isis, isis is being forced to really resort to more outreach in the digital realm as well so i imagine invest...

It but this is where authorities are worried because there are more people out on the streets. all of the christmas shoppers. so that is a concern. but actually what were hearing in terms of numbers, this year and perhaps last year a little bit, really theyve been somewhat of a tail off. when it was clear that the caliphate was going down, those that wanted to get out were getting out of the hundreds that had gone, about a third had come back to the u.k. and maybe more than a third or lower acro...

The streets, nobodys safe." this is when they want to beat people down. this is a moment of fear, so they want to try and strengthen that fear by latching onto terrorist attacks like this. would that not be something that people should maybe take some comfort in knowing? that this isnt a larger plot? or should we be concerned perhaps the opposite, that it is? >> theres a couple things to keep in mind. first, this is the site that isis has returned to again and again. there was an attack on the l...

Apparently the police had seen some sort of hoax expose of device attached to this mans race. a belt. thats when they asked everyone to get off of him, shots were fired, he was killed there at the scene. so now the information is coming and whether he was part of some sort of caliphate, where isis is possibly recruiting others, or if he was a lone wolf or he in fact acted alone. i want to bring everybody back up on the couch. it was very quick that they deemed this a terrorist attack. within mom...

U.k. and across europe. you remember, in france. at that point the threat level, when isis was still strong, the caliphate was taken to the very highighest. that means an attack is imminent. he remained at that critical level for a few years until two weeks ago when it was released to severe. that means an attack is highly likely. we dont yet know what will happen to them attack level, whether it goes up or not. coming back to the event itself, a number of passersby commented. i want you to have...
