That hes one of those guys that never retreats into the shadows. hes always out there. >> he cant help himself, like being at the beer pong game, he cant help himself. >> exactly. two people under arrest in belgium after a terror attack planned for new years in brussels was thwarted. were now learning the plan was inspired by isis. cnns erin mclaughlin is in london with the breaking details. >> reporter: thats right. startling details out of brussels morning. the target emget attic si-- emblem...

Battle back isis. >> well, its a light military footprint, in fact, relatively light, because air strikes alone are not going to really control this group and here, we had san bernardino which from all accounts is isis-inspired but not isis-directed. they really have to figure out how to first of all protect the homeland, do a better job of intelligence, do a better job of visa screening, they acknowledge that now, figure out what to do about these new end-to-end encrypted e-mails which even the...

This is in the air now and people are worried about it and theres reason to be worried but i think people ought to also stress isis, for instance, like al qaeda before it, poses no existential threat to the united states. like the folks in san bernardino who become radicalized from afar. theyre not directed by isis. they simply get it into their heads that theyd like to do something to support them and maybe they exchange a few e-mails about it and then because its the united states of america, ...

An isis, bride, if you will. she was jihad in saudi arabia or pakistan, he was radicalized out in california and they met online or somebody told them to meet online and she came here with the intention of killing. >> this is more than just online dating, something more of a conspiracy behind this with respect to this being isis directed. we do know she went to a school in pakistan that has been reported to be for somewhat radicalized, if you will and thats something were very interested in and ...

Each other, encouraged each other in this attack. >> we look at this poll that is just out, paul. majority of americans believe that isis terrorists are inside the u.s., according to the new polling taken before the rampage in san bernardino. 81% of voters think isis has terrorists currently inside our borders. that perception increasing 10% higher since september of 2014. my question to you, paul, does this matter, whether isis sent terrorists here and they were able to sneak into the united st...

Investigators are also telling cnn, quote, this is looking more and more like self-radicalization. the author of "lone wolf terrorism" joins me now. jeffrey, you were just listening to the fbi giving that briefing a moment ago. so it seems like from how they are answering certain questions perhaps not directed by isis but isis inspired. it would be the first deadly isis-inspired attack on u.s. soil. >> right, we have had a lot of case cans where individuals have indicated a sthympathy with isi o...

Investigators were here all night and will be here throughout the day. theyre focusing on the motive of the suspected shooter, what drove him to do this. right now all his electronic devices have been sent to a crime lab in virginia. not much of a social footprint although they are looking at those blog entries supposedly written by him. theyve uncovered no evidence so far that the shootings were isis inspired or isis directed. they are looking very closely at some foreign travel he made to the ...

>> reporter: cant say how he wasnt on the radar, thomas. all i know is that the fbi says that he had not done anything that put them on to him. there was no reason to be investigating him for possible terrorism. they have hundreds of investigations going on around the country but he was not one of them. this is the nightmare scenario for the fbi. someone who doesnt raise any kind of social media presence doesnt talk to others doesnt give off any warning signs. plans these things entirely on thei...

But then when somebody decides then to take up weapons and go kill as many people as possible you cant really prevent that and how he gets to that point, isis directed or inspired is a consequential matter to me. >> right. gentlemen, shane, lathe, chris, thank you all so much for your time today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thanks. and right after the break, todays other big developing story. new fallout on the iran nuke deal. have we just helped deepen an already deadly divide in the m...

Isis is populist, the energy comes from the top up not from the top down. that adds to a problem. >> to add to that problem, you were making i thought a differentiation between isis directed and isis inspired. having said that, they are both potentially equally deadly. >> oh, quite so. that ties into the nature of mikes question here. this is kind of organic. this is kind of the idea the etiology spreading. look. when we went against al qaeda, mika, we actually got really good at catching their ...
