He didnt know. A short time later, he was under arrest, too, along with seven others, but the presumed leader of the paris attacks, abablhamid abaaoud, w w not amomo them. However, i i is possible he is one of at least two killed. As forensic specialists got to work looking for, among other things, more bodies the ruined building, the paris prosecutor, francois molins, said a witness told police on monday that abaaoud was in france, not syria. Communications intercepts and bank data appear to back that up. All day residents were coming to grips with the realization that an armed group with an arsenal of weapons had taken refuge in the heart of their community. And now they have got another worry. Ere is a large immigignt Muslim Population here, and they are, of course, as afraid of terrorists as anyone else, but theyre also afraid theyll be targeted by the french governments new emergency powers. The powers include the right to search property without a warrant, set curfews and order house arrests. Since the paris attacks, president Francois Hollande has underlined againin and again that french muslili are full citizens, not terrorists. But the stigma is still there. This woman says, i get more strange looks now. Its awful that people put us in the same category. And, of course, theres a real general undercurrent of fear. Family i spoke to in saintdenis today told me how glad they were thth the terrorist mastermind was killed, and when i said, actually, there was no proof of, that even the children burst into tears. Pelley Elizabeth Palmer with us here in palmer tonight. Liz, thank you. Isis released a video today which implied a threat against new york city. And a suicide bomber preparing explososes. In a statement, the n. Y. P. D. Said the video reaffirms the message that new york city remains a top terrorist target. The police say that while there is no current or specific threat, they remain vigilant. Of the nine Terrorists Police say were involved in the paris attacks last friday, five are or were french. Suspected mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud is a citizen of belgium and allen pizzey is there. Reporter the people of Abdelhamid Abaaouds Old Neighborhood came out in the thousands tonight in a gesture the jihadists would have hated, a rally to show sal dale jarrett with the residents of paris. Several young mennho say theyy knew abaaoud described him as normal. He dressed like me in a tracksuit, a regular guy. That he was a victim of discrimination, this man said. People dont get radicalized bebeuse they want to. Its not like a trip to the store. So h h did someone who w w a scholarship when he was these youngsters age grow up to be a terrorist . Abaaoud was raised in this modest home in molenbeek, but the dark side of the multiethnic suburb apparently held more appeal than his familys clothing business. He became radicalized during a stint in jail for pettyxd crime. Released in 2013, he suddenly nished and showeweup in syria under the name the belgian, he started using social media to recruit jihadists. His profile shot to real prominence when he appeared in an isis propaganda video, dragging bodies behind a pickup truck and reveling in the imact it gave him. According to intelelgence reports, he snuck i i andndut of europe to conduct terrorist attacks. He bragged about it in an isis online magazine. I whatever his selfimage may have this Old Neighborhood are concerned, as one put it, molenbeek already had a bad reputation. Abaaoud hasnt done us any favors. Scott . Pelley our veteranoreign correspondent allen pizzey in brussels. Allen, thank you. The way out of syria for many refugees and terrorists alike is through turkey. It is place that hollande Holly Williams has spent a lot of time. Holly, how difficult is it to keep extremists from crossing into europe from syria . Reporter its very difficult. At leaststix of thettackers are thought t have spent time in syria. At least one was apparently known to french authorities as an extremists but was still able to travel to syria. Part of the problem is isis has no respect for national borders. Its fighters are smuggled across the turkish board entire syria, and one of those attackers appears to have posed as a refugee in ordrd to intereurope. Pellele the u. S. Said it would help turkey fortify its border . Is that going to help in that border is 500 miles long and it is porous. I spoke to a senior turkish official yesterday who said that as long as isis exists in syria, it will be impossible to stem the flow of extremists across that border. The other problem is intelligence sharing. Thats whehe Officials Say turkey had warned france twice about one of the terrorist attackers, last year and again this year, over concerns that he may have traveled to syria, but french officials didnt follow up until after the paris attacks. Pelley Holly Williams. Thanks, holly. There are well over00 americans fighting for isis in syria. According to secretary of state john kerry. In paris, we asked kerry whether the wider goals of isis have now gone international. He calls isis by its arabic acronymaesh. T t only goals i can find of daesh h to enforce their twisted view of the caliphate, to put women into slavery to, license rape as the will of god of nonmuslim women, to be able to kill yazidi because theyre yazidi, kill shia because theyre shia, kill case chan because theyre christian. Thats what they do. Pelley y ow theyre exporting that wholesale. Well, lets see how wholesale it is. Theyre exporting it, yes, but most of the folks ive heard responding, and particularly in the muslim world, do not accept this. Pelley president obama wants the u. S. To take in thousands of Syrian Refugees fleeing the syrian civil war. Butepublicans are trying to stop him. Margaret brennan iss travelingng with the president in manila. 0 reporter president obama lashed out at repubcan president ial candidates who said the u. S. Should not accept any Syrian Refugees. If these are the same folks oftentimes who suggest that theyre so tough that just talking to putin or staring down isil o using additional rhetoric will somehow solve the problems, but apparently theyre scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of america as part of our tradition of compassion. Reporter and mr. Obama warned the political backlash is helping isis. I cannot think of a more potete recruit. Toto for isil than some of the rhetoric thats been coming out of here during the course of this debate. Reporter the administration plans to accept around 10,000 Syrian Refugees over next year. Of the more than 2,000 refugees admitted since the start of the syrian war, more than 40 are children under 14, and only 2 are single males of combat age. The president says theyre doing this over ai nearly twoyear process, and he dared his critics to come up with a better system. Theyve been playing on fear in order to try to score political points. Or to advance their campaigns. And its irresponsible. And its contraryy to who we are. And it needs to stop because the world is watching. Reporter tonight white house officials said the president will vetor a republican bill that would make it even harder for Syrian Refugees to enter the u. S. I and, scott, despite the uproar, there are no plans to change the refugeeolicy. Pelley margaret brennanan traving with the president in manila tonight. Margaret, thank you. Now with the response from the republicans, heres Major Garrett. I got to tell you, it is utterly unbefitting of the president to be engaging in those kinds of personal insults and attacks. Repororr exas senator ted cruz hit back at the president for suggesting those who do not want to accept Syrian Refugees unamerican. I would encourage you, mr. President , come back and insult me to my face. Reporter a new poll shows more than half americans want the president to stopped a mitting Syrian Refugees, a sentiment echoed by most of the republican president ial field, including g rco rubio and johnn kasich. Its not that wee dont want to accept people, its that we cannot because we not conduct effective, reliable background checks. If you admit 10,000 people and 9,999 of them are good people and one of them is an isis killer, you have a problem. We just have to make sure were not inviting people in here who pose a threat to us, who come in under the cover of refugee statas, whose view it is to come in here and destroy us. Thats not unreasonable for america to say no. Reporter in South Carolina today, former Florida Governor jeb bush for the first time called for direct military engagement against isis. The United States in conjunction with our nato allies to increase our presence on the ground. Reporter and donald trump began runving radio ads in early voting states.
