This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im don dahler. The Trump Administration says it has evidence that iran was behind the weekend strikes on Oil Facilities in saudi arabia. The attacks disrupted about 50 of the saudi oil output. Although the country says full production will resume sooner rather than later. U. S. Officials claim they know the types of the drones and cruise missiles used in the strikes and even know where in iran they were launched from. So far, none of that evidence has been released. David martin reports from the pentagon. Reporter u. S. Officials say experts have examined pieces of the wreckage on the ground in saudi arabia, identified the specific type of cruise missiles and drones fired, and determined they were made in iran. Other analysts have traced their tracks back to points in southwestern iran. One official call it a complex and coordinated attack, involving two dozen drones and nine cruise missiles. Vice president pence stopped short of saying flatly it was iran. It certainly is looking like iran was behind these attacks. Our Intelligence Community at this very hour is working diligently to review the evidence. Reporter iran appears to have found a gaping hole in Saudi Air Defenses around their most valuable asset, oil. Saudi arabia relies on u. S. Made defense batteries but were facing south towards yemen. The missiles and drones that hit the facilities this weekend came in from the north. U. S. Has patriots in the middle of the country, but they were too far away. Having been unable to prevent the attack, the u. S. Warned it might retaliate. Were locked and loaded and ready to defend our interests and our allies in the region. Make no mistake about it. Reporter the u. S. Has been locked and loaded since last spring when it sent a b52 bombers and carriers to the persian gulf. For now, the most concrete consequence of what mr. Pompeo was an attack on the world energy supply, that is mr. Trump would like to meet with rohani next week when the leaders gather at the u. N. But the most urgent concern is to erect better defenses around the Oil Facilities because u. S. Intelligence had not expected this to happen, had not expected iran would be so bold as to attack saudi arabia directly. Ian lee has the view from saudi arabia. Reporter secretary pompeo is due in saudi arabia tomorrow. He is expected to meet the crown prince in a diplomatic show of support for the embattled country. This comes after the devastating attack on the Saudi Oil Field and the Worlds Largest crude Oil Processing plant saturday, that knocked out 50 of the countrys production. A senior official tells cbs news that pompeo will get the saudis view of what they need to be done. Theres also some good news for those at the gas pump. The Saudi Oil Minister today said the kingdom output was back to preattack levels, after the country dipped into strategic reserves. He said no deliveries had been disrupted and the damaged facility will be back to full production by the end of the month. In afghanistan, the taliban is claiming responsibility for a pair of terror attacks in kabul. Charlie dagata is there.

They continued campaigning. A second taliban suicide bomb struck at the heart of americas presence here in kabul, only around 200 yards from the u. S. Embassy and military headquarters. The taliban were quick to claim responsibility for todays bombings, which ended the lives of at least 48 people. Delivering on a promise to up their attacks after u. S. Peace talks were brought to an abrupt end. Remember, this is a terrorist Organization President trump intended to invite to camp david to sign off on peace talks, openly claiming responsibility for killing dozens of civilians in the worst attacks since those talks collapsed. One of the most pressing questions in the middle east is what to do with the thousands of isis fighters who have been taken prisoners of war.

Reporter this is the first time theyve allowed a camera crew inside this highsecurity prison, home to 5,000 isis captives, including isis leaders and the men who built their deadly bombs, according to the guards.

We cant know for sure whether he was speaking freely. He told us he was recruited to isis through a contact on twitter. He said, do you want to speak to someone in isis . I said, yeah, of course. Reporter he was bombarded with isis propaganda videos, he told us. Not the ones showing gruesome beheadings, but explaining that isis was helping muslims. He says he entered isis territory in 2015, hoping to become a doctor. How did they treat you . Pretty much, they gave me a blank check to buy whatever i wanted. Reporter did you not know it was a terrorist organization when you joined it . To be honest, i was kind of a conspiracy theorist a little bit. Reporter but its a terrorist organization. A terrorist organization thats carried out attacks. Heres the thing, people like me dont really believe the news. Reporter you heard him right. He thought that isis terrorism was fake news. Like many in this prison, he claims he was never an isis fighter. Instead, he said he was a victim. He lost his arm in a u. S. Air strike. Others have terrible injuries. Some are children. Theres no question this is a dangerous place. The guards showed us this attempted prison break from just four days ago. They want foreign governments to take their citizens home so they cant escape and rejoin isis insurgents. Abdel claims he was interrogated here by fbi agents, who said he can face 15 years in prison in the u. S. 15 years is a very long time for mistakes you made coming to syria. Reporter you feel you deserve to be forgiven . I would say that. Reporter isis may have lost control of its socalled islamic state, but these men have been left behind.

When we look at all of the complexities and the consequences we have as a result of any of the decisions as we go through our lives, i think we realize that, look, we see chances, opportunities in life, when we can make a decision to try to change something. Right now in 2019, it is hard to look around at the world and think nothing needs to change. But nothing changes just if we believe in something. We have to be willing to risk something.
