Welcome to cbs this morning, nearly three weeks after a russian plane went down in egypt, moscow has confirmed it was an act of terror. All 224 people died when the chatter plane broke apart in midair. This morning investigators say they found traces of explosives in the debris. Isis claimed responsibility for the attack. The plane went down over the sinai peninsula. Two airport workers are being held who may have helped plant the bomb. Reporter Russian Security services have said they now have the evidence to confirm what was always the prime suspicion, that the russian metrojet crash in the sinai was caused by a bomb. The fact that the wreckage from the plane was spread over such a large area had always indicated that the plane had broken up at altitude. But the question was whether that was due to an explosion or to structural failure, a much less likely cause. Now the head of the main Russian Security agency, the fsb, has told Vladimir Putin that tests on the wreckage proved that a homemade explosive device, as he described it, blew the plane up. The continuing suspicion is that the bomb was placed on board at sharm el sheikh, a lapse in security the egyptians have resisted admitting to. Responsibility for the crash and the deaths of the 224 people on board has long been claimed by the socalled islamic state, saying it was retaliating for the Russian Air Campaign against them. Vladimir putin has vowed to punish them. War planes and missiles are hitting more isis targets in syria this morning. A pentagon official tells our david martin that russia carried out a number of strikes on the isis stronghold of raqqah.

But what you just mentioned, the news from the interior ministry, that there are 115,000 not only police but soldiers deployed across the country to keep people safe has gone some way to reassuring them. Here in paris, secretary of state john kerry met with french president Francois Hollande to extend condolences and discuss how the countries could coordinate their response. He says isis demands a tougher response. Everybody understands that with lebanons attacks, with whats happened in egypt, with turkey, with the attacks now in paris, we have to step up our efforts to hit them any core, where theyre planning these things. Reporter france has already hit isis in its capital raqqah, with the biggest french bombing raid yet over the weekend, and even more air strikes last night. The French Military says the latest targets include a command post and a training camp. Meanwhile, the manhunt for the terrorist suspect who got away, Salah Abdeslam, grows. At the top of the wanted list, abdelhamid abaaoud. Weve had confirmation that french president hollande will go to washington in the coming days.

Isis has released new video threatening attacks inside the u. S. It shows an isis fighter saying, we swear we will strike america at its center, in washington. Police there have increased security patrols but federal Officials Say they have not seen a direct isis threat to the United States. Defense secretary ash carter talked about the isis threat monday in washington, saying the attacks did not surprise him. I wouldnt say anything that happened over the last few days was surprising to me. It shouldnt be surprising to anyone. This is an enemy that needs to be defeated. We need capable and motivated local forces who can keep the place running without extremism after isil has been defeated. Theyre hard to come by in syria and iraq, but they do exist. Our khali Charlie Dagata has more. Reporter good morning. Last night we spent the night with a squad going after suspects for one of the worst isis atrocities this country has seen. We met a general and his men at a secret location south of kirkuk. He told us they were after four isis suspects, a sleeper cell lying low among the local population, plotting terror attacks in iraq. Down a muddy road they nabbed the first one. He didnt put up any resistance. But in the back of the truck, its starting to sink in. The targets, men suspected of taking part in the massacre of as many as 1700 army recruits when isis overran a military base in tikrit last year, lined up by the hundreds, shot dead in shallow gravest. The general said the men they were after were among those who pulled the trigger. The next location was a warehouse where they hoped to find three other suspects. They only found one. He too is blindfolded and taken away for interrogation. Two more men from the suspected terror cell are at large. Now they know their cohorts have been taken in. The general told us, because they hide in plain sight and strike civilian areas, the suspects he and his men go after every week pose more of a threat than the isis militants his forces face on the front lines, charlie. Charlie dagata, thank you so much. Incredible reporting hes been doing there. Good to see people on top of it. Scary but comforting at the same time. Agreed. President bomb said obama s turkey on monday that Americas Program of air strikes are enough. Reporter will you widen the rules of engagement for u. S. Forces to take more aggressive action . No. This is precisely why were in iraq as we speak and why were operating in syria as we speak. If you have a handful of people who dont mind dying, they can kill a lot of people. Thats one of the challenges of terrorism. Michael hayden is with us from chicago. The retired general is now with the chertoff group, a Global Risk Management firm. Good morning. Good morning, charlie. With your experience and your knowledge, if you had to have i seen the president this morning, having learned what he said yesterday, what would you tell him . I would tell him, charlie, that what were doing right now in syria and iraq against isis is underresourced and overregulated. We need to commit more to the fight. And we need to loosen our rules of engagement. Charlie, a classic case in point, about 36 hours ago, american air power destroyed over a hundred tanker trucks in syria that were being used to literally fuel the treasury of the islamic state. We could have done that on thursday. We only decided to do it on sunday. I think there are a whole host of decisions like that that if we loosen the rules of engagement, we can actually more strongly take the fight to the islamic state. How do you defeat people who dont mind killing themselves and dying in the process . Right. Well, look. Number one, you reduce their capabilities, make them less able to do that. Theres another element here that we really havent seen before. This is a fight why the ideological struggle, their motivation, is tightly tied to their success on the battlefield. These guys are claiming theyre enacting the will of god and theyre the hand of god. The more theyre successful, the more they look inevitable, the more they motivate the kind of people you just described. So if we can break this narrative, we actually begin to break their ideological foundation. You heard, general, the president yesterday saying no u. S. Ground troops. That was the view of his closest military advisors, that that would be a mistake. You have said air strikes alone wont do the job. Who should be our ground partner . Ideally our ground partner would come from the local area. Weve had some success with the kurds, but as you know, the kurds are kind of selflimiting. Theyve been powerful in and near kurdish areas, but for them to go much further into arab lands, their usefulness begins to reduce. We need arab allies on the ground, stiffened, assisted, and abled by a larger american footprint. But no one is calling for american units to enter the deserts of syria. Do you believe they have the capability to attack washington and new york . I wouldnt rule it out, charlie. I dont mean to split hairs on you, but were a tougher target. Were a tougher target because were more distant. Were a tougher target because our demographics are different. Were a tougher target because were actually pretty good at this. And were a tougher target because culturally weve assimilated far better than the french and other europeans have. But i dont know that we have to do anything dramatically different. John bremmer suggested we need to stop hand wringing over spying by the nsa. Suddenly that stack of metadata doesnt look like the scariest thing in the room. So youre agreeing with john brennan . Absolutely. And also that our intelligence capacities have been badly hurt by the unauthorized disclosure of legitimate american secrets over the past two and a half years. General Michael Hayden, we thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. Ahead, well take a closer look at how isis may be using tools created in Silicon Valley.

A choice to take brilinta. A prescription for people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than 100 mg. As it affects how well it works. Its such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. Brilinta worked better than plavix. And even reduced the chances of dying from another one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. Since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. A history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. I will take brilinta today. Tomorrow. And every day for as long as my doctor tells me. Dont miss a day of brilinta. [ music playing ] that is the French Nation
