Attack. Ashley webster in the newsroom with the latest. Ashley. Ashley yeah, it is hard to keep up with but make no mistake. This is an ongoing fluid situation by my count 11 arrests have been made in the last 24 hours in belgium, france, and germaall belonging l as investigators try to figure out whos involved. How far out do these go . Eight people arrested in belgium through a series of raids that stretched through the night and into today. Explosions at least three explosions could be heard as these raids took place. And as you said, charles, three of the people arrested in brussels today. Theres a strong connection they believe between this person and a man arrested in paris. And a man who was a convicted isis recruiter who as authorities in france say was in the advanced stages of planning another big attack in france. We also had a person two people arrested in germany suspected jihadist who were receiving phone calls from the belgium bombers prior to that attack on tuesday. We can also tell you theres been concerns, and it has been reported although belgium authorities are not confirming at least 11 workers have had their id badges withdrawn from a Nuclear Power plant. Theres reports that two brothers involved in the belgium bombings were surveilling that power plant. Watching the comings and goings of belgiums nuclear program. Now, the question is what were they planning on doing . Do they plan on kidnapping him or were they trying to get their hands on the Nuclear Material in hopes of making some sort of dirty bomb . That is the question. They didnt do that. And they decided to go ahead with their bombings on tuesday. Much is believed because Salah Abdeslam was captured just a few days earlier, and they felt like authorities could be closing in on them. And also very quickly. Belgium authorities continuing to come under criticism, charles. And i think thats partly explains the a lot of action weve seen in the last 24 hours with these raids. The interior and justice administers offered their resignation. The people involved in the bombings the other day were known to authorities as dangerous people who could be up no. No. Good. The question is could these bombings be prevented . That is the question they dont know but theyre trying their best now to get their hands on all the information. Ashley, thank you very much. A lot of information. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And to france, french authorities arrested a man there reportedly in the advanced stages for a attack on how worried we should be right now about a copy cat attack here in the United States. Michael. Charles, good to be with you on good friday. I think we should be very worried about other attacks taking place here in the United States. The Islamic State has repeatedly said that it intends to put american blood on its hands and to do so by conducting mass casualty attacks here in the United States. I think we can reasonable assume they have trained people who they intend to move here into the western hemisphere, specifically into the United States for the purposes of achieving that goal. They say theyve arrested, a lot of speculation of the arrest of is a lay abdeslam sped up some of these attacks that might have been in the planning stages. If they believe there are people who are sympathetic or connected to the same organization, could they be in an even more hurry now to pull off some of these would be attacks . Yeah. There are a lot of stars aligning right now that serve to stimulate attacks in the United States particularly around the easter holiday. Its not just the arrests or the attacks that have occurred in europe. You also have the news or the claim at least by the department of defense that they have killed a senior figure in the Islamic States hierarchy. So all of that conserved to stimulate interest among people who have not been trained by the Islamic State but do want to demonstrate their support for this terrorist group by going out and executing attacks like what we saw in San Bernardino. I do want to alert the audience, though, fbi director comey says he believes there wont be any attacks or any inspired attacks from copy cat attacks if you will. Now, we understand a certain agree of his job is to keep us calm and not fearful. But i would have to believe and maybe you can help us out here that the fbi is on heightened alert. Maybe even using this as an opportunity to pick up transmissions and things like that. I think we can reasonable assume that the fbi and other agencies look at whats occurred in europe. And they recognize, again, that that can stimulate interest among various people. Some of whom have never corresponded with external operations figures in the Islamic State. Stimulate interest in doing things, small attacks even to demonstrate their supported for the group. So, yes, we can reasonable assume that theyre out there working to identify communications. Which serve as indicators of potential attack plots or interest among specific individuals or going out and killing americans right now. Meanwhile i do think theres a problem with fbi director comey relaying fears in this manor. Because what that can do is decrease the publics sense of there being a real threat here in the United States, when, in fact, theres a real threat of similar events of what you saw in San Bernardino or worse events occurring. And by, you know, reducing that fear or suggesting to the public that they dont need to be concerned. The public may not be as inclined to speak up if they see suspicious activity. So thats a strategic blunder on his part. Yeah. Some would argue, though, that that thin line of asking the public to be overly vigilant and also live their lives as if theyre normal. Although things arent normal anymore; right . Michael . Yeah. Thats absolutely correct. Michael smith. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you, charles. Raids in brussels continuing with chemicals found in one of the suspects apartments. Just how easy are these types of bombs to make or obtain . Former marine tech johnny jones. You know, johnny, ive got to tell you something. Reading how these guys have taken really ordinary Household Appliances and break them down to their basic chemical opponents and then build bombs out of it. It seems its hopeless to identify or stop them before these can be done. It is. Its very difficult. Looking at the substance used primarily for this attack, tatp, the precursors are acetone, which is paint thinner or hydrochloric acid or acid that comes out of cars. So to preliminary identify or defeat an attack. However, you know, the chemical process, the actual chemistry behind it isnt common knowledge, and it is a way that you can find perhaps google searches and things like that on how to make that happen and Search Intelligence that way. You know, weve all seen or month most of us have these these stories or videos the bomb making factors for isis. And it seems like all of these guys who become experts in this make some sort of pilgrimage if you will to raca, learn these skills, and then come back. Is this where we have to be a lot more vigilant with respect to people coming back with these skills . And trying to identify them before they can even start the bomb making process . Oh, i think thats an incredibly important part of this. Human intelligence and in our Intelligence Community abroad is going to play a vital role if were going to prevent any of these attacks. One of the things thats notable about this attack in brussels. At least one person, bomb maker they believe traveled from the attacks in paris to here in brussels. And one thing to keep in mind once we start gatheringan intelligence, and i have to have faith that we will. If theyre going to use these types of volatile explosives, they cant make this miles away and bring it in. Its going to be a few city blocks within the attack. Hopefully thats a clue and limitation for them that we can use to identify some of these bomb making facilities before the attacks happen. Joey, heres the thing, though. We keep asking the public to be more vigilant. What do we do . We say, hey, someone bought a whole bunch of old batteries today. How can the average person out there watching this show do their part if you will when its seems to be so easy for these guys to pick up ordinary items to make these bombs . Ive worked over 100 ids myself. And to find these things, our greatest asset were the people that lived there telling us, hey, that doesnt look right over there. I saw people working there. Really that is what people every day need to be doing. They need to be observant, vigilant, they dont need to be looking at their iphone, they need to be looking around them. You dont have to be paranoid, just vigilant. And when someone does something suspicious or you see something suspicious, if you see something, say something. Especially when its a high value target. With these attacks in brussels, if there were a lot of key identifiers and really purchasing these products isnt a crime. And nor should it be. However, if youre on a watch list, if were already looking for you. Right. And know youre known to travel syria or radical islamic views and then you purchase explosives, i dont know why youre in jail right away. That should raise red flags and remember two of those brothers were on the u. S. Terror list and excriminals in brussels. Johnny jones, thank you very much for your expertise. We appreciate it. Absolutely. Thank you. Secretary of state john kerry in brussels today is a the down with fox news gregg discussing the optics of president obama during the attacks. The optics of president obama being in cuba at a baseball game and argentina when this was going on. Do you have any feeling about that . The president every single day is making decisions that are life and death with respect to this war. He has to also continue be president of the United States and do what we need to do with regard to our diplomacy. Charles feature story correspondent in brussels with more. Kevin. Well, charles be this morning when u. S. Secretary of state john kerry arrived here, he met with Prime Minister and told the Prime Minister that the u. S. Will offer intelligence and any other assistance that belgium may need to move forward with this investigation into tuesdays terror attacks. The secretary of state also went to the International Airport here in brussels. This side of twin explosions Tuesday Morning and later raid. Now, as this visit was happening, we learned two americans were among those killed tuesday in the on terror attacks and happening right now here in brussels in the brussels commute of starbeck which has been described as a huge antiterror raid. The mayor of the commune says a man wanted in connection with the terror attacks was detained after being shot in the leg. Now, multiple explosions were reported. Gunshots were reported during this antiterror raid. And floating around twitter right now is video of that suspect on the ground wounded and a small bomb machine, robot approaching him. So another day of antiterror operations here in the capital. And this is something weve seen. Not just for days, not just for weeks, but for months. Ever since the november 13th terror attacks in paris. Charles kevin, whats the public sentiment toward president obama and americas response to this . Well, right now the focus here for belgium is not on the u. S. Theyre still mourning, theyre still grieving. But there is this growing sentiment, this growing anger at their own authorities. At their own belgium government. Last night as multiple raids were taking place, the belgium government decided to lower the terror alert level from a 4 to a 3 meaning that an attack is no longer likely imminent but still possible. Many bel belgiums are asking why they would do that knowing that the Terror Network here is much larger than first expected. Charles they felt they were out of touch in the first place. And i can understand why any citizen would be upset about that. Kevin, thanks a lot. We really enjoy your reporting. Well, ted cruz firing back at donald trump over attacks on his wife.

Its not easy to tick me off. I dont get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that will do it every time. Donald, youre a sniveling coward and leave heidi the hell alone. Charles well, the feud between ted cruz and donald trump over their spouses not slowing down. Real clear politics rebecca burg says this is going to hurt both candidates in the end. Rebecca. Thanks, charles, thanks for having me. Well, we are seeing quite an escalation in this fight over the past few days ted cruz calling donald trump a sniveling coward, pretty Strong Language. But i would actually say that that sort of exposure of ted cruz partiality defending his wife against donald trump, probably a positive for ted cruz in the long run. Now, donald trump maybe a positive for him as well if he is able to portray ted cruz as someone who attacked his wife. Of course this is actually a group totally unaffiliated with cruz that ran this ad that started this whole fight. But a lot of people by this point have forgotten that. So theres certainly pros and cons. Charles so when you say people have forgotten theyre saying that the super pac represents ted cruz or could have said something. Because what i know so far i dont think ted cruz has disavowed the super pac. I know he has distanced himself from the ad itself but not the super pac itself. Right. To begin with, this wasnt even a pro cruz super pac. So we think of certain super pacs that are affiliated with campaigns, although they cant coordinate. This group is completely outside of the cruz orbit. The cruz network of outside groups. This is one that really was created just to go after donald trump. And it just so happens that donald trump in a tweet was able to associate this group with ted cruz. Charles and that makes it even more interesting that ted cruz wouldnt denounce them; right . We know who the person is; right . I think its liz, and she put out a statement saying they only spent 300 on this, which is interesting because theyve gotten millions of dollars out of mileage out of it. They have. Although not all positive. Charles but, again we know this back and forth when these things happen, its like any kind of feud. You almost forget how it started, and you wonder what the heck it will take to end it. Right. It is im actually curious to see how really its at this point come down to both candidates insulting each other, defending their wives. Which ultimately maybe wont mean a lot to voters. But i think that the sniveling coward line from ted cruz is one that will people remember. It was a moment where he was able to stand up and really get a lot of attention for defending his wife. Charles but you dont think it will backfire on him the way marco rubios aggressiveness and talking about sizes hands and things backfired on him . I will say to your point earlier, though, right now according to the latest cnn poll the unfavorables for donald trump with women are 73 and ted cruz 60 . These numbers probably wont go up for either candidate as long as this goes on. Right. So the reason that donald trump really didnt have anything to lose by engaging in this fight is because hes already disliked by women. Already thought of as someone by many voters as someone who is not respectful of women. This is loved by others throughout the campaign. So this not a team that ted cruz is trying to make, trying to strike at this stage. So it probably wont hurt donald trump in the long run hes taking this risk. But ted cruz at least has had a moment to be able to come out and defend his wife. And thats never a negative. Charles all right. Well see how the plot continues to thicken. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Thanks, charles. Charles well, bernie looking to rack up delegates over the weekend. But still really far behind hillary. Were going to tell you exactly whats at stake. Tomorrow charles democratic president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders looking to rack up some delegates tomorrow out west. More delegates are up for grab in washington state, hawaii, and alaska. Peter barns in dc with the latest. Peter. Yeah. Thats right, charles. Sanders going up against clinton for 142 delegates this weekend. Washington state is the biggest prize with 101 delegates. Analysts say sanders has the edge in washington because its voters are mostly white and heavily liberal. And seattle ranks number one amongst the big cities for per capita contributions to the sanders campaign. All of this may make washington the most favorable state for sanders outside of vermont and new hampshire. He has complained there a lot, arguing at a rally yesterday that based on a new poll,
