And appointed its emir is the leadership in the organization. That new message comes on this day. The first publication of the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, since the attack hit the newsstands this morning. We visited stands around the city and they were sold out. Dozens of people stuck at these keyiosks waiting to get their copies but many muslims in france were offended that the caricature of the Prophet Muhammad is on the cover and folks took offense in many other nations as well. Authorities here in france tell us that 54 people have been detained for defending or glorifying terrorism. Thats against the law here. It carries a sentence if convicted of somewhere between 18 months and up to seven years and some people detained have already been convicted. Were going to cover all angles of the story today. Lots to discuss. Many new developments. I want to bring in our Senior International correspondent Nick Paton Walsh for more on this claim of responsibility. This video from a commander of al qaeda in yemen. They claimed responsibility for the attack that took place behind me. And they report to give some sort of detail as to the kind of people in the leadership who are behind planning of this. The statement is given by a media spokesman. Hes clear in this 12minute speech that Anwar Al Awlakis success, a man not seen in the spotlight, was involved in the planning but Operational Command was done by an american citizen now deceased. Hes a yemeni descent killed in 2011 by a drone strike. If were to believe the contents of this claim of responsibility investigators are now going to work out precisely what kind of trail and links there are between the yemeni group and the brothers in paris. They said they work for al qaeda in yemen. French officials have hinted and confirmed that said the older brother, went to yemen on a number of occasions. Perhaps cherif went on the passports of said in 2011. The question is if planning was in place, resources targeting in place in 2011 was it really the case that those brothers did nothing for three years and hid away and stayed off radar and then launched the attack or was there communication between yemen and al qaeda affiliates there and those brothers to launch and finish preparation for that attack. A key question investigators are looking at now. A point of clarification here. This video only claims responsibility for the attack that took place. The attack on offices of Charlie Hebdo. What does it say about the attack by Amedy Coulibaly on the kosher market here . Reporter sthaes athats a key point. Its just about the kouachi brothers. It says that Amedy Coulibaly, behind the attack that killed five on a Kosher Grocery store, they said that was not theirs but a coincidence of timing and of good fortune. Remember that Amedy Coulibaly left behind a lengthy statement in which he pledged allegiance to isis the head of icesisisis. Many observers say that isis and al qaeda particularly in syria, they compete for resources and territory. Its obviously clear that using social media and because of the savagery isis is known for, theyve somewhat become more cutting edge of global jihad in the past year or so but with this statement its al qaeda now trying to step back into the spotlight. To speak and say they were behind one of the most deadly attacks in the last ten years, john. Thank you so much for laying out what is in that video and what it means. I want to bring in our National Security analyst Fran Townsend to discuss this. A current member of the cia external Advisory Board and also director of homeland security. Fran there was a key question raised by nick. The key question is was this actually planned way back in 2011 or was it inspired in 2011 given money to grow and really conceived and hatched here. I want to ask something specific. In the Intelligence Community where you operate, what is believed to be the current capability of al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Theres no question john that al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula remains as we heard in testimony of the director of National Intelligence and cia director the most operationally capable Al Qaeda Group in terms of its ability to target the United States. So on pure capability you would say they demonstrated consistently over the years and they have the most sophisticated bombmaker and multiple plots disrupted by Saudi Intelligence Service and western Intelligence Services directed against the United States and in particular u. S. Aviation. Underwear bomber being best known but also computer cartridge tape but another one with a vest disrupted by Saudi Intelligence Service. They are very capable and theyre very determined. They are clear they want to attack the United States. From that perspective, the claim would be credible. We havent seen the sort of typical video. A lot of times it takes months for them to release. We cant make a judgment but he speaks for al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. We heard from him frequently through their media arm. So at least on its face it has credibility. I think that they are doing greater assessments now. You brought up alp ansi. Is he an operational leader . Not clear that hes an operational leader. Hes the guy who appeared in the video and gave 72 hours to the u. S. Government claiming they would execute luke summers and then the failed u. S. Raid and captors and hostages including luke were killed in that raid attempt. He then issued another video statement blaming president obama. In november he issued a video statement calling for attacks against those countries that were participating in the coalition in iraq and syria against isis. So he seems to be a strategist and spokesperson but recognized as speaking on behalf of the group. Credible spokesman in the sense if he says it you can believe its on behalf of the organization. Fran townsend stick around. A lot more questions to you. Up next following the terror money trail. Who paid for these attacks . Who helped plan them .

A Major Development in the devastating attack here one week ago today at Charlie Hebdo. Al qaeda says that this attack was planned years ago and the group paid for it and planned the whole thing. One of the kouachi brothers left with 20,000 to fund these attacks. Paul wrote a terrific book asian storm about the spy inside al qaeda in yemen who led the cia. That gets to the central question here. This video claims that al qaeda in yemen planned this attack. Said Anwar Al Awlaki was involved back in 2011 when one of them was in yemen. That how that group operates planning an attack . Short answer is yes. Thats how that group operates. Anwar al awlaki was looking to recruit europeans for attacks back in europe the idea they would be trained in yemen and sent back to europe. We know that because this double agent told us about this. He was asked by al awlaki to try to do this while he was working for intelligence. Al awlaki said when they went back to europe, they should camouflage camouflage. They were taken off the french surveillance list because they were judged no longer radical and after that it appears they put this plot into operation because perhaps they sensed they were no longer being followed. Quite possible that this is a sleeper cell scenario here. We havent seen those plots in the past of this duration it should be pointed out. Mostly when westerners go and get training with al qaeda, its been six months to a year after which they have launched an attack or a plot and we saw that with london bombings and a plot in new york to attack subways in 2009. Its a frightening scenario if it went as you said. It almost follows the exact map of what you say al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has been trying to do for years launching a sleeper sell in the west which gets me to a key question here. This happened in france. Could this type of operation, this type of sleeper cell thats the term paul used there, a group of people who sort of terrorist ed drifted off the radar for a few years, it happened in france could that happen in the United States . Sure. We should be clear the population that has left france and gone to fight and returned is much larger than what we hear from Law Enforcement officials in the United States. Just the size and scope of the problem is much larger which makes it a harder problem for the french to address. Its why as paul says they are constantly looking at who they have under surveillance who can they take off the surveillance list to focus on the most radical. Could it happen in the United States . Certainly it could. As paul says this is a longer time for them to be quiet. We dont really understand why yet. We know that authorities are looking into that. Was it because of the death of Anwar Al Awlaki that delayed them or because they had difficulty getting weapons and one of the reasons they may have coordinated is because he did have access to weapons. Those are things that intelligence and Law Enforcement officials are trying to understand now so they can apply that understanding in other countries around the world where they will look to identify sleeper cells. Paul speak to me of the symbolic significance that continued of Anwar Al Awlaki. He was killed by drones in 2011. You have people that carried out this brutal attack behind me claiming allegiance to him and the group saying he directed this operation. He has still huge symbolic significance. He inspired western extremists to plot attacks and launch attacks. A charismatic preacher who put out videos that are still online. Hes still very popular indeed. Hes the guy that inspired the boston bombings. He inspired that attack on the streets of london against a soldier in 2013 and someone who was previously operational. One of the worries is going to be that maybe there were other western extremists who metal all al awlaki before he was killed. There will be concern about his legacy in inspiring attacks but planning them from beyond the grave. I think those are the things u. S. Intelligence and european intelligence officials are tracing right at this very moment. Fran paul our thanks to you. Lets go back to christine in new york. Great discussion guys.

Lines at newsstands to buy the latest copy of Charlie Hebdo. This is the first time the satirical magazine was published since the attacks that took place one week ago behind me. They printed 3 million copies and it was not enough. Now they say theyll put out an additional 2 million at least. Thats more than 80 times the normal run of this magazine. The new cover, which cnn is not showing, shows a teary eyed Prophet Muhammad je suis charlie and another message that says all is forgiven. Join mg heing me to talk about this is Brian Stelter and awra who well get to in a minute. Excitement on the streets was everywhere. We couldnt get a copy when we went to the newsstands. It took a long time for me to get ahold of. More copies are going to be printed. If you want one, well get you one but it will take days to print copies. We went out to one of the train stations to talk to people in line and heres what a few of them told us. I went to the newspaper store at 8 00 in the morning and they told me they had only 100 copies. They sold everything in 15 minutes. This is the last i was thinking i would find one. I want my copy. I love that graphic on screen. Up 8,000 . This magazine a worldwide symbol on display at the news museum in washington. Awra what brian and i saw in this part of paris today, central paris, tourist paris was everyone trying to get their hands on a copy of this magazine in support for the people putting it out. You are in a different place from us even though its only a few miles away. A muslim neighborhood in north paris. Whats the reaction there been . Reporter first of all, theres a kiosk around the corner where the 125 copies that they have there were gone by 7 00 a. M. That being said the majority of the muslims that weve been speaking to throughout the entire day say that they wish the image of the prophet had not been used again because no matter what the message behind it and written across is all is forgiven is just as offensive as its always been. A key point to be made here. We did see an expression of solidarity with the victims of the horrific violence the attacks that took place last week. That expression of solidarity by the Muslim Community, the majority of the Muslim Community here in paris, does not mean that they support the use of the image of Prophet Muhammad and they continue to tell us that they feel that it is just going to further heighten the tensions here and that its provocative move and its an unnecessary one they believe to take it that far especially at such a sensitive time. Its an interesting thing to hear that message. Just because people are offended by it its not inconsistent from something we heard here. There was a muslim that was yelling and condemning attacks here. You can still condemn the attacks here behind me and say you are offended by this magazine and wish that muhammad was not put on the cover, correct . Exactly. And thats the issue here. A lot of the muslims that weve been speaking to say that as a community they were already feeling alienated in france. France has been embroiled in this debate about National Identity for years right now and exactly what it means to be muslim in france. Many of them feel as if this notion of france is for the french growing increasingly predominant. They are upset. They are anxious about the future. They are dissolutionillusioned. They feel like its a strike at the core of their faith and a deliberate strike at that. They are against violence especially violence thats being carried out allegedly in the name of islam. At the same time they just object to the use of the image of the prophet. There has been jihadi inspired violence in the past week. Brian got new information. I just heard for the spokesman for the distributor putting this magazine out. He said 1 million today, 1 million tomorrow, 1 million friday and then 1 million over the
