Who claims responsibility for this? >> two groups that we know of at the moment, anderson, al qaeda and islamic, and they are interesting because they claimed responsibility for a bombing in a bar a few months ago and a hotel bombing quite similar to the bombing -- rather attack this morning on the hotel in the raddison hotel, and attacked very, very early on a friday morning, and how the number of people were held hostage, 17 people died in that siege. 21 have died in the raddison hotel siege. ...

Cutting ones throat, and when it was over, 21 killed. later today, they confirm the worst. we spoke just a short time ago. >> john, i know there was a number of americans inside the hotel, one american was killed? >> we can sadly do that, anderson, yes, we know one american citizen was killed in this deadly attack, and we were glad that so many were able to get out of the hotel alive, and we are grateful for the support we go doing that, but, sadly, yes, one american was killed. >> has that pers...

>> yeah. the fact that its small, i mean, think about the underwear bomber going to commit suicide on northwest flight 353 over detroit on christmas day 2009. he was a very, very small piece of explosive that would have brought down the plane. planes are pretty inherently unstable. once you open a gap in them youre going to bring it down. >> spider, quickly, this mali radisson hotel that was attacked today, a lot of people killed, could have been worse, but a lot of people were killed. is it jus...

Theyre very prevalent in iraq and syria, but not out in the west. on the other hand, they did a very, very slick propaganda production today, and its really interesting how they play very quickly upon our fears, by putting out this video, using the live feed from the president of france, president hollande. french warships and then bringing out isis members who are from france, to speak and then showing how to do a suicide bombing plays very quickly into the psyche of the population today and th...
