FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren September 24, 2014 23:00:00

Incumbent senator mary landrieu, republican and rob maines all on that show thats it for the show fair balanced and unafraid. Greta is on now. Special report online. This is a fox news alert. There is breaking news in the case of the missing of university coed. A Police News Conference to start any moment. And right now you are looking at the podium where we do expect to get that major development. First, our on the record team is on the ground investigating. As we await that News Conference. Lets get to our team in charlottesville, Griff Jenkins joins us. What do you expect to hear at this press conference . Hi, greta. The expectation tonight is that there made be an announcement of an arrest. Certainly in this room now as we wait for this press conference which has not started a lot developed today, of course, we know Jesse Matthew hired former Commonwealth Attorney jim cambla. He was appearing in his office late this afternoon. Didnt really talk to reporters much. Just said he had indeed been hired and ted and i spoke with chief earlier in his office. He, of course, did not tell us about an arrest. He said that his focus was on looking for hannah brown. Tmz said arrest warrant out ofor him. Do you know when whether he surrendered or Police Caught up with him. Greta, we dont know tip at this stage. Its more likely than not that he surrendered in light of the fact that he has an attorney. Attorney jim camables. Now as we know there was two charges, a warrant for a reckless driving out. Cambos has been his attorney since saturday. Those warrants were issued monday. I would have thought that he would have turned himself in pursuant and basted upon the demeanor warrants, greta. Because certainly if you go on before the court, based upon felony now, its more likely than not that he would be seen as a risk. And they may not let him out on bond. Probably wont make bond anyway. He will with, what we want to know is where is the coed and whether there is any information to are her whereabouts, whether the police are going to tell us if they have any information. Griff, he has not been charged with murder, has he . No. He hasnt. He has been charged with abduction with intent to defile. Since we dont know the details of the details of the evidence recovered from the apartment or in the car. We know that evidence was Strong Enough to warrant the charge of this abduction with intention to defoul which is a class 22 felony. One thing that i asked the chief in his office today was, do you have anything that suggests that Hannah Graham knew Jesse Matthew prior to meeting on the mall that we have all seen in the surveillance, and he would not answer that question. You know, ted, when we have missing people for a couple days, and this has been apparently some wonderful young woman, typical college student, not the kind that would sort of just take off and go, and so we know, i always have such a bad feeling about, i suppose many viewers do, that this one is not going to turn out well. She could still be alive. She could still being held some place. I just hope i hope this one is much different than what i am expecting. Well, greta, you know, you and i over the years have covered quite few of these missing person cases. And we have always hoped for the best. And the only one that comes to mind right away that i can remember where it really was the best and that was the Elizabeth Smart case. We knew that she was missing. We thought that she was no longer here on this earth and that case turns out for the best. Were certainly hoping for the best here, but as you and i know this longer that this goes on that she is missing, meaning Hannah Graham, the more likely, more or less that she may not be with us any longer. But, there is always optimism. There is always hope. I have got to tell you with dealing with the chief of police down here, who is one of i would say one of the best chief of police in america, and he is viciously and zealously trying to bring hanna graham home. Not only for america but to her family. Her family who is suffering, greta. Indeed. And in the case viewers just tuning in. We are waiting for the police to make announcement. Disappearance of the university of Virginia College student. Of course, there is also a lot more news we have ready tonight. Including isis and the possibility of a lone wolf. So we have a lot to report. We are waiting for this press conference thats supposed to start at 7 00 with a big announcement in the case. Griff, in case people arent familiar with the disappearance of this coed, take me back. Give me just a thumbnail sketch of what we know about her disappearance. What we know is thatHannah Graham, if he we just our viewers tuning. In she was leaving a sorority, some apartments, party of sorts last friday night. This is now, of course, a week or more longer. And she passes through the bar area of mcgradys pub and ends up on this pedestrian mall which has been the focus of all of her disappearance. There are the surveillance videos. Last known place Hannah Graham was. She met, we know from the video, Jesse Matthew and went to it a bar off that pedestrian mall area where we have been all week. And in a bar called templo. We know they left together. The big question is what happened next . Greta, as we do await this press conference, and expect news of an arrest to be announced, you will remember from the warrant wanted poster, the warrant that went out for him, there is full extradition. So that means that if he was arrested out of state, he will be extradited back to virginia. We will expect to have him arraigned here, i would assume tomorrow. His lawyer, he is being represented again by a former Commonwealth Attorney jim camlos would not tell us where his client was. Clearly he knows because he was hired on saturday. Now, i mention that because one of the interesting wrinkles in this case is that Jesse Matthew walked into the Police Department here in charlesville to meet with chief Timothy Longo on saturday with his mother. Then he left. He had come to ask for an attorney, a name was provided. We now know that is jim camla. And mr. Matthew left with his mother. And sped off after attorneys were following him and because of protocol, the authorities did not arrest him and pull him over because they didnt have reason to at that time. And he has been missing since that saturday. So, just to recap, you got friday night. You have got young Hannah Graham, 18 years old. Second year leaving, some say, perhaps intoxicated, ended up meeting Jesse Matthew on the mall at 1 00 a. M. On saturday morning. And then by saturday afternoon, Jesse Matthew has sped out of sight and has been missing ever since as we await here in this room in charlesville for the announcement from chief longo. Obviously. This News Conference is not starting on time. Griffin and ted. We will be coming to you in charlottesville as soon as it does happen ted, griff, if you will just stand by, and, of course, we will come to that and well go back to it as soon as it happens. This is a fox news alert. Just moments ago, our powerful u. S. Military pounding isis again, right now our Fighter Pilots are returning to todays mission. The target Oil Refineriesand thats not all. On the record will take to you Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon just minutes. New and growing fears of a terror attack in the United States. Fbi and Homeland Security putting out a joint bulletin warning the air strikes in syria and iraq could increase the risk of an attack on america. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge joins us. All right, catherine. You have seen this five page bulletin. We were able to obtain the bulletin through a confidential source. Five pages in length. Its bottom line is that these air strikes in iraq and syria are reducing the likelihood of a successful attack in the United States by a foreign terrorist organization. But, at the same time, its increasing the likelihood of people here in the u. S. Where sympathizers, with isis, or with al qaeda, to act on their own. So that is sort of the double edged sword here. What i was hung up on yesterday, the report was out of the government is that they that this group, that was the khorasan had gone from plotting to planning to operational. What i havent gotten all the reports out of the government is it still operational . Whats the story . Sure we hit a couple buildings but is it still operational . It doesnt take long to take down a plane. Thats a good point. What i would say is based on our reporting is that the group had moved to a stage where they were testing explosive components. That was sort of the next step to putting them on an aircraft. What the attacks or the military strikes had done in the shortterm is that its disrupted their operations. It could be extremely temporary, this disruption. But they have had to now fear for their own safety and security as opposed to focusing on their plotting and training. Except that they can also be the lone wolfs, people angry and sympathetic. Not that im saying we should have taken out khorasan the group but we may have enraged a lot of crazy people. That is a risk though, its unlike delay a single event will propel someone to act here in the United States. Its very he cumulative. What they also expect in the shortterm is that people that are radicalized in this country will continue to go to syria and iraq rather than launch attacks inside the United States. But this is their best assessment. This is not. This is guessing. I mean for the most part. I say its more than just a guess. Its more artful than that but this is their best guest. Guess. I will give you that. Catherine, thank you. You are welcome. Should you be worried that there will be a lone wolf attack right here in the United States . Minnesota Michele Bachmann joins us. Should would he be worried about this lone wolf . Absolutely we should. Because we see that we have a very determined, intentional, evil enemy that is seeking to destroy theUnited States. They have stated that over and over again. The leader of the Islamic State is a guy named baggedy. And baghdadi said to the United States in january that soon we will be in direct confrontation. We are with you. We are watching you. Woe are with you. All right. That is isis, which is land grabber, want the state khorasan is this other thing. Since Catherine Herridge reported on this last week it went over my head i must admit. Now reporting on it im paying attention. Thats a group that attorney general eric holder has said about he has known about for two years. We have known about the Khorasan Group for a long time. We knew about the Islamic State and the Khorasan Group. They are a subsidiary of al qaeda. The al qaeda franchise in syria, greta, is the gentleman bat al nusra front. Thats their name. Target rich environment. Its. This americans with american passports in syria. Its the epicenter of jihad in the world. And europeans that have pass pordz. Western passports. Thats why its so incredibly important that when an american citizen goes to join a terrorist organization, they not be allowed to return to the United States. We need to pull their passport and start the process of denaturalization. And were not doing that. We are not doing that. How do you make the decision . Owned you dont want to start on the other hand you dont want to start a panic and on the other hand the American People want to know about these groups. How do you decide what to tell its and what not to. Intelligence cant be described to the American People because the enemy would have it what you need to do is let the American Public know that there is an elevated risk of our safety. Thats why its very important that we need to protect ourself both from legal and illegal entry of potential terrorists. We have to pull their passports, greta, and not let them have legal entry. Today, our government allows american citizens with american passports, who have joined the terrorist organizations to come back into the United States. Thats madness and that has to stop. Congressman, nice to he so you. Good to see. You right now our u. S. Military is very busy. They are striking isis. Jennifer griffin live at the pentagon right now. Jennifer . Greta, not long ago, u. S. And Arab Coalition fighter jets returned from a new round of air strikes in Eastern Syria. Im told the targets included about a dozen modular Oil Refineries used by isis for fuel and to finance their activities. Now, Oil Refineries produced about 2 million a day for isis. The equivalent of 300 to 500 barrels of oil, according to u. S. Officials. The goal of the mission was to leave the refineries intact but to strike the support facilities inhabited by isis. Among those flying with the coalition, major miriam, she is the First Female Fighter Pilot in the united arab emirates. Flies m16 and team leader. Her presence will send a powerful message to isis. Also in the coalition, the saudi crown princes son, one of 8 saudi pilots flying 815 bombing runs against isis. They have received Death Threats on twitter. In Eastern Syria today. More air strikes, jordanian Fighter Pilots dropping bombs against 8 isis vehicles around the iraqi border town. This area in Eastern Syria has been a staging area for foreign fighters and a base for isis for some time. U. S. War planes and navy vessels remain poised in the region for more strikes tonight and in the days to come in iraq and syria. Today, the dutch government committed six f16 warplanes to the fight against isis in iraq. The netherlands will send two reserve jets. And 2 auto pilots and support staff to support Iraqi Kurdish forces, australia also is sending warplanes to iraq. European countries have limited the use of their air power to iraq where the Government Asks for outside help, these countries do not believe that the u. S. And five arab partners have International Mandate as of yet to fly over syria. That could pose a problem for the president , greta. The British Parliament votes on friday as to whether to join the Bombing Campaign inside syria. Jennifer, thank you. This is a fox news alert. Another beheading at the hands of isis. This time its not a journalist, not an aid worker but a tourist. French president fran sway confirming today the 55yearold tourist was in fact beheaded after being kidnapped in algeria by Extremist Group linked to isis. Released a video. Isis saying they executed the french tourist in retaliation for frances air strikes in iraq and syria. As noted two american tourist and the one french tourist beheaded, a british aide worker was beheaded last week as well. David cammeron made plain what he wants to do. Calling the British Parliament to meet this friday. In the meantime the Prime Minister in new york to speak at the u. N. That will be tonight. Will rons speech sound anything like president obamas earlier today. Director of the Thatcher Center for freedom, nice to see you now. Nice to see you, greta. Before i ask you about the Prime Ministers speech and comparing to president obamas. Im curious, this whole idea of a lone wolf, that includes the u. K. I mean, there is a lone wolf out there, and i dont know if we are warning people or being alarmists. But if there is one out there, england has to worry. Yeah, i dont think its i think there are plenty of lone wolfs in britain as well. Threat. In britain 2,000 individuals who have links to al qaeda operating in the United Kingdom at this time. At least 500 britains have gone over to iraq and syria to fight with isis. There is a huge domestic Terror Threat that britain is facing. Its also a threat that the United States faces as well. Let me ask you about Prime Minister going to speak, cammeron. And you heard president bushs speech today. Compare and contrast. What do you expect to hear differently from the Prime Minister . Well, i hope its going to be a tougher s
