Here soon. France on high alert for more possible terrorist attacks as authorities double down to find this woman here. There are reports tonight she may have already fled to syria. Welcome to a brandnew hour inside of americas news headquarters. Im arthel neville. Im eric shaun. Shes considered armed and dangerous and a possible key to helping authorities dismantle a possible terrorist network. Shes the common law wife of one of the gunmen in the socialer store standoff. Weve got Fox Team Coverage with Rick Leventhal live in paris, peter doocy tracking the latest in washington. First, we begin with amy kellogg who is standing by with the latest on the investigation. Whats the latest from your Vantage Point . Reporter arthel, one woman told me today that she hopes tomorrows massive unity rally will be the beginning of closure for a country that has been so shocked, traumatized horrified this week or at least at the very least, the beginning of the healing process. But of course the story is not over with frances most wanted woman who is the wife of the common law wife of one of the three terrorists who wreaked havoc on this city last week apparently fled into the black hole that is isiscontrolled syria. Meanwhile, the people of this country have been very keen all day to memorialize those killed in the line of duty, from fearless satirists, to police officers, 700,000 people came out today and seoul its expected that there will be a million in this unity rally that will include dozens of heads of state. You can only imagine what a security operation now is being put in place. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among those planning to attend. He just put out a tweet saying hes decided to fly to paris tomorrow to show support for the Jewish Community the french people and the people of the free world. Arthel . Very important because as you know, the shops and synagogues in the jewish quarter yesterday they were told to close after the kosher market was attacked and i want you to fill us in on the latest on that situation. Reporter yeah. We dont know whether the police had any specific intel on specific threats to shops or to the grand synagogue, which apparently for the first time in decades was for prayers on a sabbath eve. But anyway, that was the precautionary measure and certainly there have been issues in france over the years concerns about antisemitism and jews here leaving for israel for among other reasons the concerns that theyre not all together safe here. On israeli tv, two of the survivors of that siege in the Kosher Grocery store were saying that they planned to leave france now and move to israel. But in the moreay, which is the oldest and most wellknown jewish district of paris, things were very much full of energy and vitality. But people say they worry the values of french civilization are being eroded by nefarious forces. However, one woman told us she is heartened by the sense of solidarity here. I find this unity and patriotism to see all the french of all backgrounds protesting against this terrorism, i find this formidable. I am proud to be french. Reporter and the french Prime Minister tonight said that he doesnt want people to be afraid to be citizens, afraid to be police officers, afraid to be journalists, afraid to be screws. He said today we are all charlie, we are all police officers, we are all jews. Arthel. Amy kellogg thank you very much. Officials in turkey saying that the female suspect flew to istanbul just days after these attacks. Investigators then lost track of where she was and they say she disappeared near the Syrian Border earlier this week. She is the common law wife of one of the gunmen, of course. Any human being thats penalty on killing is a deadly creature and they need to go after her and find her and either stop her just like they did a good job of eliminating the threat yesterday but they can also get her, interrogate her and find out what other links that they may have. Disappearance raises the possibility that she knew about the attacks and fled before them. A little later on, well be joined by Jonathan Gilliam a former member of the f. B. I. Joint Terrorism Task force and navy seal, about 30 minutes to talk about strategies for tracking her down. First lets go to Rick Leventhal with the very latest on that in paris. Hi rick. Reporter if shes not here its certainly a bit of relief for this weary city thats been under siege for several days and a bit of comfort for the thousands of police and Security Officers who have been searching intensely for this woman who has been considered armed and dangerous. Its puzzling because french authorities seemed convinced she was with her common law husband on thursday when he killed an unarmed french policewoman and said she was with him friday when he walked into that jewish grocery in east paris and opened fire killing four and holding several others hostage until authorities stormed the store killing him and then freeing the survivors. The police said they think she may have slipped away in the confusion after that siege, but new reports from french and turkish intelligence say that she may have actually left this country days before the shooting. These new reports suggest she traveled from france to spain and then flew from madrid to istanbul turkey on january 2 spent a couple nights in istanbul, and then traveled to a small town near the Syrian Border. Tonight were hearing that authorities tracked her mobile phone signal on january 8 to a location near syria. Officials say they think that tonight she may actually be in syria and certainly no longer in france. That said, Security Officials remain on the highest state of alert here in france and in paris fearing more possible attacks from radical islamist sympathizers or possibly from other terror cells and we expect thousands of police and heavily armed swat teams and soldiers on the streets tomorrow for that huge rally where there could be as many as a Million People in the city of lights along with a number of european officials. All right. Thank you. The rally tomorrow is a massive show of defiance against these terrorists. Meanwhile, president obama getting ready to host british Prime Minister David Cameron at the white house next week. The two leaders expected to talk about a number of issues, including the attacks in france. We go to peter doocy in washington. What is being done to protected americans abroad . Tell us more about that. Reporter there is a scary sounding new warning coming from the state department notifying americans that alqaeda could look to kidnap them and use ransom money to bank roll other operations, or that isis could look to carry out some sort of a violent attack as a way to get even with americans who have been striking Islamic State interests in the middle east since the fall. Here is that part of this new world wide caution. Quote, authorities believe there is an increased likelihood of reprisal attacks against u. S. , western and coalition partner interests throughout the world especially in the middle east north african, europe and asia. But there are not a whole lot of specifics other than that coming from foggy bottom. The u. S. Embassy in paris did issue a security message today advising that the government of fans extended the heightened terror alert to parts of northern france, International Schools and other institutions are reviewing their Security Posture and make changes as appropriate. This is passing on what the government there had provided. Nothing has changed in terms of our posture otherwise and our embassies and consulates remain up and running. Reporter and the chairman of the joint chiefs is emphasizing that the u. S. Has been using intel to put pressure on Terror Networks and says there is still more we can be doing. Arthel . Peter, what more are we learning about attorney general eric holders trip to paris tomorrow . Reporter we know that this sunday sit down was organized by french officials to talk about the evolving threat and different options for confronting foreign fighters with western passports. But some here in the states are already skeptical about the selection of holder to represent the u. S. At this meeting. So many of the things that this administration does wrong in regards to islamic terror come out of the eric holder. He wants to try islamic terrorists like tax cheats or counterfeiters in courts in new york city. He wants to close down gitmo. He wants to give battlefield captures their miranda rights. This is exactly the wrong guy leading the fight against evil. Reporter now we wait to see which, if any recommendations made by this group of International Leaders in paris tomorrow are implemented here in the united states. Arthel. Peter, thanks a lot. Eric . The paris attacks just the latest in a generation now of radical islamic terrorism targeting the west. Did you know the first shot was fired 25 years ago this year right here in the u. S. In new york city on november 5, 1990. Thats when one was gunned down bay jihadi assassin. The killer was convicted of being part of the islamic terrorist cell that three years later went on to bomb the World Trade Center in 1993. They were all led by the firey blind sheik who is now serving life in prison. How do we stop this continuing threat thats only grown over the last two decades . Lisa, it seems to me that bombs, missiles, throwing them in the clinic isnt going to do it. The religion itself has to turn on the radical extremist elements and say enough. Is that even possible . Its absolutely possible. What these events have done is divided the world into two. Those who want to live and those who want to take their lives. You have to remember, the jews and christians are not the only victims of radical islam. Muslims themselves, living in countries like saudi arabia where yesterday a blogger was flogged for putting his opinions on line, or iran where you cant practice freely in any religion, or dress as you would like, boko haram, where only 2,000 innocent people were killed over the last three days. We are not connecting the dots on this threat that has remained with the same ideology the ideology remained consistent b but the way they maneuver has evolved and we have not caught up to this evolution. What the president can do and the west can do to understand this is to look at president sisi in egypt, for example. He came to the podium on new years day and he called for the islamic world to reform itself. He said, do not let these headlines define who we are in the islamic world. And we have to seize this opportunity. The president has to call upon leaders, both of nations and of communities to come together and really unite because we do have the manpower to do so. Do you think thats even possible . Al sisi, is that even possible . Critics would say its not possible to reform. Its not possible to reform because theyre not backing down. Based on this weeks events in paris, we know that theyre ahead. And theyre targeting us and were still stuck in a post911 mentality and you have to fight ideology with ideology. They have evolved. If we look at alqaeda, the arabian peninsula, the headquarters in yemen that are basically guiding and focusing their efforts on the west, their leaders spoke english. We have to take terms like home grown terrorism, lone wolf attacks out of our vocabulary and understand that this is all a part of the same plan, of the same agenda. We can call it hamas, hezbollah alqaeda isis, we can call it whatever we want. The ideology is the same. It seems that theyre outpacing us in a sense. Youve got a string of attacks. Youve got the french they dropped surveillance on the kourachi brothers a few months later because they were laying low. Maybe they were a sleeper cell. I want to show you a list of the attacks here against us americans, in our country. Just astounding. There was the World Trade Center Brooklyn Bridge shooting, a young boy shot to death, new york landmark plot, empire shooting. 911, los angeles, subway plot in new york city times square car bomb. Boston bombings and the new york at this police hatchet attack. Sadly, do you fear this will just continue . Absolutely. Why wouldnt it . Why would they back down . Each instance, we come up with some sort of excuse to white wash the whole thing away. We can talk about workplace violence. We can talk about Police Violence videos cartoons. This case, they talked about these two young men as poverty and unemployment playing a role in their Movement Towards radicalism and towards jihad. I assure you eric, we can eradicate all the poverty and alt unemployment in the world and we will not eradicate terrorism. That is stunning chilling and sad. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Of course. Okay. Turkish Police Acting quickly to defuse two bombs in separate malls. The dramatic details next. Then how the terrorist attacks in france could become something that could really influence and perhaps change that immigration showdown on capitol hill. Plus, reaction from the hill after federal prosecutors recommended felony charges against former c. I. A. Chief general David Petraeusearning unlimited cash back on purchases. Thats a win. But imagine earning it twice. Introducing the citi® double cash card. It lets you earn cash back twice, once when you buy and again as you pay. Its cash back. Then cash back again. And thats a cash back winwin. The citi double cash card. The only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. With two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem onesided. With psoriatrthr, i nse that rse an thy rh i introducing the new Philips Norelco shaver series 9000 with Contour Detect Technology that flexes in 8 directions for the perfect shave at any angle. Go to philips. Com new to save up to 40. Innovation and you. Philips norelco. Quick check of the headlines. The u. S. Launching new air strikes against isis. Coalition forces conducting a dozen strikes in syria and three in iraq. The attacks come as part of the operation of inherent resolve to try and blunt the advances of isis. Another terrorist attack in lebanon. At least seven people were killed and dozens more wounded after a homicide bomb went off at a coffee shop in the northern part of the country. No one has claimed responsibility, but that area has seen a violence spillover from the conflict in syria. In Turkey Police there defuse ago home made bomb at a mall in istanbul. Officers detonating the canisters as you can see at a second mall nearby. The area had been rocked by attacks in recent days including a homicide bombing that killed a police officer. Bolstered by the newly sworn in majority republican in congress, boehner announced plans to counters president obamas executive actions on immigration. House republicans want to deploy the power of the purse to defund the president s plan by focusing on a funding bill for the department of Homeland Security. But now in the wake of this weeks terrorist attacks in france, the plan got a little more tricky. Tammy bruce is a radio talk show host and fox news contributor. Doug thornell is a former specs mon for the democratic supporter. Tammy, youre going to go first. How do the terrorist attacks in france affect the republican plans to attach the president S Immigration plans to funding the department of Homeland Security, which as you know, runs out of funding february 27 . Right. Look, i think it makes it even more important to deal with the issue of immigration and the chaos that weve experienced in this country. A leaked customs and Border Protection report last year indicated that people from 75 Different Countries were using the southern border to gain access to this country. And it is a preferred route for the majority of syrians who sneak into this country. They move into Central America and up through the border. So what i think does is it adds much more of an urgency. It makes the point about needing to get control of the chaotic border situation and immigration under control, to know who were allowing in the country who we are giitizenship to, who were giving drivers licenses and Social Security cards to. And the solution is very easy. They can certainly fund the department of Homeland Security with one simple adjustment which is making it not possible to fund obamas amnesty with fees and changing it to an appropriations dynamic which then the congress can control. So they can have it both ways. They can govern and we can make sure that the dhs is funded. Doug, do you agree with that . Well, i think that a lot of what tammy said could be handled if the house and senate tackled comprehensive Immigration Reform. Thats what the public wants. We actually put out a poll, the end of december, which asked the public a question should congress refight this issue of executive order by hamstringing the president s hand or should they move on to doing comprehensive Immigration Reform . By over 69 of the public 72 of independents and 50 of republicans want washington to move on to tackling comprehensive Immigration Reform. There is a reason to do that. I think that the republicans are playing with fire here and thats not something that i thats something that trey gowdy, a
