Shes now been identified in the most senior french security officials say it is not a question but certainty there are other terrorists and cells here on the loose here, ones authorities know about as in the eighth alleged attacker from friday, ones they do not know about including a support network that would allow the attack of this size to be carried out here on the streets of paris. the alert here certainly far from over. tonight an urgent manhunt is underway across europe as police continue...

Folks back home, the distances between these countries are very short like traveling state to state in the u.s. the borders virtually nonexistent. you can cross very easily. that makes a manhunt that much more difficult and just raises and makes very clear the level of their challenge here in finding this one man across this country. keep in mind, its not just him they are looking for. they are looking for a support network and as we heard tonight, its not a question, its a certainty that there ...

>> the question is, was it a support network, was it not the front with line of quote/unquote terrorist combatants terrorizing the attacks? were they referring only to the men who were going to kim or expose themselves, rather than the underlying, because this needed to be planned very carefully. suicide vests are not easy to put together t. material is volatile. you need pre-planning. you need to rent apartment, you need to rent cars, finance trips across borders. so could this have been some s...

Been told they think this is not some completely different operation. some completely different cell. its all a part of the same big potential plot. >> similar weaponry. similar explosives. >> all a part of the same. >> there have been hundreds of raids every night in france since friday. this morning we have been told quite clearly this was was different. this was launched to target abdelhamid abaaoud. was he there. >> we dont know. >> in addition to the possibility of other attackers, there wo...

Look, you had this one group of eight people who launched a terrible deadly attack. now you are seeing another group of people who have been arrested or killed where it would appear explosives maybe heavy weapons as well. look. what are they doing in paris if theyre not here for tourism and, you know, if they didnt join in with that first wave, certainly, the sort of one of the plausible conclusions, john, this is a second wave that is being run. i struggle to find any other explanation. >> if i...

Of a support network that knew whether abaaoud or someone else, they were tied into this larger group. so although theres not much yet proven in the way of links between fridays tackers and the group that was there today, im sure investigators will think that that is highly likely. and of course abaaoud, his female cousin amongst those killed today, that for him is going to probably motivate him to continue and to accelerate these attacks across france, belgium, unless he is inside that apartmen...

For our viewers, it is confusing keeping track of how many people are involved in this. maybe just step back a second. fridays raids, fridays attacks, it was believed there were eight terrorists involved and that seven of them were killed in the attacks. one of them was believed to have gotten away. theres an international manhunt out for him. its believed he returned to belgium. but now this raid today, thats a different group, seven people taken into custody there. two people killed in those r...

There is a reason they have these. its not to force people. its very likely they are inclined, they want, isis wants them to kim as many people as possible. i think that it sort of, it begs the believe belief they would be the support network. >> you have to be prepared, certainly, no matter what, you certainly have to go if presumingly they would attack again. finally, i want to reset here in a moment. palm, if there were five suspected terrorists in custody. they killed three suspected terrori...

They believe they have an advantage. that said, they believe theres a population in belgium and here and in and around paris that is involved with these kinds of activities and they are up against a larger threat. he couldnt be more important than he is right now. >> you know, per capita, the most number of jihadis going to syria come from belgium. >> this is the other point. theres a lot of talk about closing the borders to jerefuge. you know the political sensitivities of the refugee issue. th...

Doing what they did in paris, coming to the united states, getting machine guns, whatever, going to a rock concert just loaded with 1,000 american young kids and just starting to shoot them? that would be pretty catastrophic. >> it would be. but weve had almost 15 years since 9/11. thats always been true. thats always been a possibility. it just hasnt happened. because it is more complicated than people are presenting. yes, weapons are available. yes, there are sympathizers, but they dont have t...
