It was the Coalition President obama has been pushing for. Five arab nations joined in the overnight air strikes against isis targets in syria. Today at the u. N. , president obama sat down with the leaders of those nations. Because of the almost undprenu undprentsed efforts of this coalition, we send a message the world is united. Reporter he called the attack by air and sea very effective. It was the beginning of a campaign to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. Reporter 47 missiles were fired and 200 bombs and missiles were dropped from fighter jets and bombers. The strikes were centered around the isis stronghold, but they stretched east to the iraq border. The targets were isis headquarters, supply depots, command and control centers and financial centers. No individual isis leaders were specifically targeted. The u. S. Did not request permission or coordinate the strikes with syrian president Bashar Al Assads regime but the administration did say it warned syria dont engage u. S. Aircraft. It turns out that isis wasnt the only target. One third of the u. S. Air strikes were aimed at a littleknown Al Qaeda Affiliated terror group known as cokhorasa. We have been watching this group closely for some time. We believe the Khorasan Group was nearing the execution phase on an attack in europe or the homeland. We believe the individuals that were plotting and planning have been eliminated. Reporter Senior AdministrationOfficials Say the u. S. Was considering action against khorasan separate from the campaign against isis but last night they saw an opportunity and seized it. Live from washington, karen travers, abc news. An anonymous pentagon official says the majority of the 47 tomahawk missiles fired from u. S. Navy ships in the persian gulf and red sea targeted those eight khorasan sites and not isis.

In the bay area the race for a West San JoseDistrict City Council seat has prompted a long time state legislator to apologize over comments that he made in a campaign email. A solicitation from the Assembly Member incorrectly stated a consultant for his opponent was a member of the plo. Abc 7 News Reporter david louie is live at city hall with the story. David . Reporter as we get closer to the november elections we expect Campaign Rhetoric to heat up. But an email that went out yesterday has some people criticizing one of the candidates and extracting an apology from his Campaign Manager. Charles jones said he first saw the email saturday morning, an email sent out by his opponent for a city council seat. The email referred to a Jones Campaign consultant. The furor has been over the statement quote, he is a Top Republican consultant and palestinian activist who served as a high Ranking Member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization or plo. Its definitely divisive. Its definitely racist. And to be honest with you, somewhat bizarre. I dont understand exactly what he was trying to accomplish. Reporter the Campaign Manager dennis chew says he wrote the email in an appeal to donors for contributions after the Jones Campaign sent out an email pointing out that fong moved to san jose to run for the council seat. It was my mistake. I should not have placed that in the mailer. Reporter neither was available for oncamera interviews but over the phone, he said no apology could make up for bringing race into the campaign. I need to educate myself as to the community and how it affected it. I apologized personally over the telephone. Reporter dennis chew also apologized to the council on American Islamic relations in san jose. I think it makes not only this campaign but other campaigns aware that they do need to be concerned about, you know, sensitive issues such as race. I definitely believe this is a case of human error. I believe this was done on the part of the campaign office, not from the assemblyman. Reporter the naacp san jose chapter condemned the email. David louie, abc 7 news.

Still ahead on abc 7 news at 4 00, the first morning commute without a major bay bridge offramp. Drivers appear to be ramped up and ready.

Climate change conference, where nobody gets a pass. A wet mess caused commuting chaos in a stretch of interstate 680 today. Sky 7 hd was over the scene shortly after a truck carrying drums full of wet concrete crashed, spilling its load around 8 30 this morning in san ramon. Between eight and ten cars were either damaged by the barrels that fell or while trying to avoid them. Nobody seriously hurt but look at the traffic that ensued. The crash shut down northbound lanes of 680. All lanes of the freeway reopened about three hours later. Its so far, so good on this first day of a major change for a key offramp coming into sfrau San Francisco from the bay area. There was no backup due to the closure of the folsom street portion of the Fremont Folsom street offramp. Amy hollyfield has the story. Reporter commuters coming into San Francisco from the east bay seemed a little shocked this morning. It was the first commute without the exit ramp to folsom street which is now closed for construction. Visions of gridlock and bay bridge backup never materialized. It was a lot better. I didnt see any changes. Reading the signs i thought it was going to be a lot worse. But so far, it wasnt that much of a change. Traffic in general was better on the bridge than it usually is. Reporter we progressively checked in with the project manager, who was monitoring traffic closely. Before the sun came up, the report was good. Right now it looks normal, if not possibly lighter. Reporter later in the morning, the picture was still positive. So far, everything looks better than we could have hoped. There are no backups on the ramp, nothing out of the ordinary. Everything looked great. Reporter turns out not that many people use this offramp. 10 of the total ramp traffic from the bridge uses the folsom link. The other 90 already use the fremont. Reporter the hope is that those who do use the folsom leg will split up, that some will take fremont and the others will take the harrison offramp which also looked fine this morning. It could be because commuters planned accordingly but even those who forgot about the closure had an easy morning. We didnt leave earlier, no. I didnt know what to expect but it was fine. Reporter were you on time . I am, yeah. Reporter demolition of this offramp will start on monday. They will reconfigure this whole area so this offramp will not be available again until march.
