call this thing what it is which is islamic fundamental terrorism. two get aggressive overseas and three start to get aggressive with our preventative measures here in the united states. otherwise, we are going to see a lot more of what we saw today in san bernadino. all right. and again we are speculating to some extent. based upon the information that s coming in here. so, we are not drawing any conclusions or saying anything in stone. we re just having a discussion about where the investigation has led right now. on that note. monitoring the investigation rampage took place. anything new on your front jonathan? yeah, bill. right now it there appear to be two main fronts here. one is the ongoing search
any particular operational organization? all right. so i m asking the question again because you have a dual scenario here. you can have homegrown terrorists that we saw in boston charleston, where they are just haters and they go in and kill. and then you have the organized islamic jihadists. does this tell you anything, mr. cohen, the information that you have given us, does it lead to one way or the other? yes, it does bill, it leads me to believe there is a very strong connection in my professional opinion to islamic i can motivated international terror. it has the same prints as the bataclan style attack abdeslam opened fire on citizens well equipped armed with kalashnikov cough rifles easy to get in and
be monitored and that will be a big story for tomorrow. for tonight we re trying to find out who these guys are. and then as i said if it is a terrorist component islamic, that just blows this whole thing up into another paris situation where the president is under siege already and that becomes a big international story where is if it is just a local beef, then it s a local beef, it gets down into charleston, it gets down into fort hood and that. now, the the washington post is reporting also that federal law enforcement officials are saying they do not believe the shooting, they do not believe the shooting is an act of international terrorism. okay. these are initial reports that are coming out, which is why i warned everybody that speculating is very difficult. but, we have a name and the name is obviously a name that was on the police band and it is a muslim name.
spoke to them. and you spoke to them, why? because we were attempting to find out a were there any names in play and b once we could get a name like this. was there any way we could find any social media or other things that might lead us to believe that he left a suicide note or he did one of the other indicators after jihadist attack. they are prone to doing those final video episodes. when you heard the name faruq saeed? did you run him down or check him out? like i said it s a common enough name that no one i m aware of has yet come to a definitive answer. at this point it s only a name that was heard over the police scanner. it has not been confirmed. perhaps at the press conference they might do that. everybody is trying to find out whether this is a domestic terrorism like charleston, south carolina, where just in a rational crazy person goes in and shoots up a church full of people or, whether it s islamic terrorism because then the story becomes
tonight, mr. cohen? active shooter, law enforcement around the country, bill. and my sources have also said that there has been a islamic name that was released and that s been given out. the attackers went to a specific place for specific reason with the type of tack kick call gear that would allow them to create maximum damage and then leave. also leads my sources to tell me this could be potential international related terror attack due to those specific things that i m hearing from my sources on the ground. again, these are people that i train specifically an active shooter so this is what i m hearing. the problem with the story right now is that san bernadino county, well, a fairly sophisticated area, is not and this facility that these men intruded a
