News on how Many Americans are leaving the country to fight for isis. Sounds hopeful at first but could be the opposite. Well explore those angles and more over the next two hours. We begin with confirmation the alleged planner of the mass murderer last week did in fact die in yesterdays raid outside the city. Details on that, the on going manhunt and the latest from jim sciut sciutto. Reporter tonight an urgent manhunt is underway across europe as Police Continue to search for at least one suspected attacker still at large and still dangerous. Salah abdeslam briefly stopped by French Police hours after the attacks but let go before authorities knew of his role in fridays deadly rampage. Six new raids in belgium overnight and hundreds more here in france in recent days have failed to catch him. Translator the republic is doing everything to destroy terrori terrorism.

Today french lawmakers voted to extend the countrys state of emergency giving police broad new powers to detain suspects. Translator we are at war and for us to remain ourselves because that is what is in question, france must not lose itself to win this war. France must respond to hatred with fraternity. France will respond to fa gnat sis m with the hope of life itself. Reporter jim sciutto joins me now here at the plaza dela republic. Each thing they are doing, small clues turned out to have big results. The phone discovered at the scene of the attacks helped lead them to that apartment that led them to another apartment. Some of these raids raid to have them look at the netherlands as a place where this missing bomber could be, so they are finding new connections each time. The key target of this is of course to find that missing bomber. They havent been able to do that yet but part of the process so to look back at things they knew in the past that added significance. One of those today is the idea that this plan to attack a concert hall here actually originated with another attacker several months before who was arrested and its interesting, of course, so at that time they didnt know that that plot would be active. So on friday, different footing right now. The clues in the past that didnt seem important or consequential or needing to be acted on today, they are acting on all of then today and only some of them will bear fruit but their attitude now is we wont take chances. And they voted to extend Emergency Powers that gives them greater leeway in terms of resting people, searching people. To literally arrest and ask questions later. Jim, thanks very much. The paris swat commander revealing what he and his team were up against and what they saw as they stormed the bataclan where nearly 90 people lost their lives. Going by jeremy and wearing a cloth to conceal his identity. He spoke tonight with lester holt. We took position at the enter of the theater and then we discover like a hell on earth. I mean, more than maybe seven, 8,000 people lay on the floor. Seven to 800 . Yeah, tons of blood everywhere. Nobody was screaming. In the last door, we approach the door and suddenly one of the terrorists, on the stage ask us to go backward so i tried to speak with them and he told me he want to negotiate. So i said okay, give me a phone number. As soon as we open the door, one of the terrorists shot like between 25 to 30 rounds of ak47 bullet. Thats these holes . Exactly. Immediately, again in the middle of the group get hit in the hand so i fell down because of the pain one of your officers did . Yeah. In the middle of the group. First thing we saw the guy shooting and a lot of maybe 20 feet between the shooter and us. We cannot shoot at that time because too it was too risky for the hostage. At the end of the hallway, we found two terrorists like a dead end for them and the first one blew himself with the explosive jacket. The other try to do the same but got shot by the officers. They were both wearing suicide vests. Exactly. And one went off. Yeah, blood everywhere. For us, it was so intense the assault, the bullets, the explosion, all that stuff, we still very focused on what we did to be honest and maybe half an hour after we saw what, all the environment and at first, it was very, very tough. We stuck together. We come back to the office and Stay Together until 7 00 in the morning and maybe there going to be trouble for some of us in the next weeks or something, but for now, so far its still okay. But you saved a lot of lives. I think so. Remarkable. Jeremy on nbc nightly news, again with me Cnn International correspondent Clarissa Ward and paul cruickshank. Its neat to hear from that commando. It is hard to imagine what it was like for them and the hostages. The syrian war came to paris. We know several attackers who were there presumably went to syria, came back, learned how to sort of kill people essentially and they had firepower and suicide vests and negotiations but really just fake negotiations, fake demands because they wanted to extend the time so they could kill as many people as possible. Its interesting because i talked to Law Enforcement officials in the United States that said the same thing, one of the things they learned that, you know, it used to be people take hostagesnegotiations, thes people take hostages to extend the time to extend the Media Coverage or the time they can remain in the building and potentially kill people, that the whole notion of taking hostages and negotiating for hostages, thats pretty much done with them. There are no demands. These are acts of sheer violence. The same thing in beirut with the massive suicide bombings that killed 40 people. There were no demands or you must do this or that. It was simply were going to keep killing you. The good news, paul, is the death of alleged ringleader of this blown up, killed or i should say in this police raid in the apartments this guy may have gone to the netherlands. This is the eighth terrorist and there is a nine person in the vehicle with him. Absolutely right. They have no idea where Salah Abdeslam is. His last known location. 9 00 in the morning on a saturday where this was a police stop coming towards the belgium border from france but let him carry on. They arrested his other two companions in the car but concern there is one other person, concern, as well, there could be a third attack team out there. So they are chasing every last piece of evidence they have that they were trying to interrogate the suspects they have and want to know if there is something coming down the pipeline. I think they already know that there is something coming down the pipeline because the Wider Network is based in syria. Half a dozen french and belgium operatives that climbed up the hierarchy and still there. One was ten years older than abaaoud and they were trying to recruit youngsters and sending them back quickly after one or two weeks. You said he had actually been talking about attacking the bataclan years ago. Thats absolutely right. 2009 he got involved in a plot to attack the bataclan concert hall at that time and because, you know, he saw it as a target because it had jewish owners at that time and just until a few weeks ago and so its possible that fabien clan. Clarissa, just after 9 11 in the United States there were big changes in how the Intelligence Community in the United States and fbi shared information. It seems like this event has got to spark the same kind of reappraisal of cooperation between intelligence agencies in europe. It doesnt seem like there is sharing between these countries. There isnt. The fact this this ring leader could get from syria back into eventually come to france with nobody here in france realizing it until they were told by a foreign intelligence service. This is exactly it, anderson, and i spoke to a former, very senior former Intelligence Officer and said was this a failure because it has hallmarks of a failure. He said its not a failure because what we were trying to do is impossible. You cant monitor people, return from syria if you dont know when they are returning or where they are returning to, if you dont have the Different Countries in europe which once again to reiterate have pourous open borders you cant monitor them. We heard president hollande come out and say by the end of the year, there has to be a cross continental sharing of passenger Information Network and that has to happen. Well talk to them throughout the next two hours. Just ahead, the trail that led to the terror hideout and what were learning about the woman who blew herself up. Shes being called europes first female suicide bomber. The question now, will she be the first of many . Thats a chilling thought and figures on how Many Americans are leaving the country to fight for isis and why a lower number may actually just be as bad as a higher one. Well explain that ahead. In panama, which is a city of roughly 2 million people, we are having 5,000 new cars being sold every month. This is a very big problem for us with respect to fast and efficient transportation. Its kind of a losing proposition to keep going this way. We are trying to tackle the problem with several different modes. One of them is the brand new metro. We had a modest forecast 110,000 passengers per day in the first line. We are already over 200,000. Our collaboration with citi has been very important from the very beginning. Citi was our biggest supporter and our only private bank. We are not only being efficient in the way we are moving people now, we are also more amicable to the environment. People have more time for the family and its been one of the most rewarding experiences to hear people saying the metro has really changed my life. You cant breathed. Through your nose. Suddenly, youre a mouthbreather. A mouthbreather how can anyone sleep like that . Well, just put on a breathe right strip and pow it instantly opens your nose up to 38 more than Cold Medicine alone.

Thats nexium level protection. Almost immediately after we learned the man police believed planned and organized the terror attacks here was himself dead. In this case robertson learning how Security Forces found him in that apartment. We heard the other day there was phone wiretaps from french authorities that led them to the apartment. Today we learned that wasnt all. Nic robertson is here for that. How did they track this ringleader . You know, obviously, ringleader abaaoud, it was moracan intelligence that said he was on french territory. They didnt realize. They thought he was still inside syria, not back into europe and that he was here. It was that tip and that tip came three days after the attack so two days before the raids. So this then precipitated the telephone wiretaps on the cousin. They knew he must be around. Which is interesting if you think about it, that was about the time we began to get the information that he might be connected to the attacks so we, the journalists here in france, everywhere were flooding the zone with pictures of him. That would have been helpful for the French Police because obviously by then they know he is here, they dont know he is here but his picture is everywhere so would have made the harder for him to move around. We dont know that this is where we the information came to us. But is it so i think it will help in that picture because it meant he couldnt move around. What i dont understand is how does a guy whose wanted by belgium authorities known to have planned a number of other attacks whose been in syria, how does he get back in to europe . I mean, we know europe has po pourous borders but to enter a european country, i had to show my passport to get in the airport. How weak is the Border Control . It was appears he was able to get away from belgium earlier this year after the attack. And he bragged about that in an isis publication. This is what if we go back to al qaedas play back and what we learned about what they do in the Training Camps in afghanistan, they form networks. The networks endured so when they would come back as hes come back and isis, they had those networks of trusts established when they are there in iraq and syria. So they will have presumably now we can see safe houses along the route and plus the criminal element. I was not to make a long story too long, but it is complicated. I was in kabul a few weeks ago. Its a matter of money. Isis has money, 20,000 can get you from kabul into germany almost legally. Fake passports, fake visas, it can be done. Fascinating. Were learning more about the woman who blew herself up at the hideout and also have a clear picture of her final moment alive. This is a newly released photo. She was 26. The ringleaders be come radicalized. Whatever led to her transformation ended yesterday morning. A camera capturing her final confrontation with police. [speaking foreign languag [speaking foreign language]. [ gunshots ]. The video from a clear Vantage Point surfaced tonight on abc news, the camera looking at the terror apartment as the suicide vest went off. More on this woman and other women that decide to become deadly weapons. Its happened a number of times before, this is believed to be the first time in europe today spains interior minister said the dead isis ringleader had been in spain with a particular interest in recruiting women. Mark hertling confronted a string of suicide bombers. I spoke to him just before the broadcast with mia bloom who is a professional communication and author of bombshell, the many faces of women terrorists. General hertling, while you were serving in iraq you witnessed someone detonate a suicide device. I did, anderson. And also had several of my soldiers have the same experience and thats something you never want to go through. Im sure the French Police and the French Commando unit in that building when this young woman detonated her device will remember that moment because it is pretty traumatic. Mia, youve looked very closely at the phenomenon of female suicide bombers. Do you find they are usually related or the wives of jihads because we believe this woman was the cousin of the ringleader. You know, weve seen so many brother and sister teams carrying out suicide attacks and in fact, when i looked at the women involved in terrorism, islamic, nonislamic groups, suicide bombers and register rorests, the best predictor was being related to someone already in the group. So why do you think that is . Just as a lot of these networks to people who have prior relationships, just that you reach out to the people you know. Part of it also a fantastic vetting mechanism for the terrorist organizations. They are always worried about being infiltrated. If someone is related to an existing member, they feel that they are more trustworthy. This is something that we see its all in the family. Id add that we broke, actually broke a female suicide vest cell in iraq in may of 2008 and what we found after a month of 19 in dealia province. It was. 19 different female suicide vests exploding in the region, i wont go into the details but we were able to actually capture one of the young women, a 14yearold that p happened to a bride of a terrorists. She was taken forcibly as a bride, 14 years old and when her terrorist husband was killed, the cultural norms say you have nothing right now. Youve been married to a terrorist. Youre an out cast from society and tainted as a woman because you lived with a man so there is not much left for you in this world. And so the spiritual advisors of some terrorists groups will go to them and say why not take the easy way out and go to heaven and take a few infideliideli in you . It is a last resort for sole women. Is this the first suicide bomber used in europe by isis and if so, is it a sign of things to come . Its certainly isis first female suicide bomber. Up until now, isis is very clear the role for women is cooking, cleaning and child care. They do not have women on the front lines but one of the things that we found in the isis chat rooms in october was that there was a statement what conditions were women allowed to fight . They werent allowed to fight with brigades because they couldnt mix with men but if someone entered your home, you can defend yourselves and use a suicide belt to blow up without anyones permission and this is something very different for isis. Whether its a game changer is really going to depend on what the is the reaction . Are they going to celebrate this woman or going to say we really dont approve . We prefer our women at home under the vail cooking, cleaning and giving birth to little ones. There is new information about the preference of western women from the jihadi groups. You know, its really interesting, anna pretended to be a very young convert to islam and engaged on the internet pretending
