Doug, are there any new developments in the search . Well, the rain has finally let it which made it easier to make it through the woods and in addition to saturating the woods around eric freins home, police are crying k9 and helicopter searches in surrounding fields in an effort to broaden the search pattern. In the search area, it is taking on the feel of a war zone. Just people in the woods, you know, in camouflage and machine guns and stuff. You know, the cops and the troopers. Reporter 13 days of air and ground searches along the monroe and pike county border have yielded sightings of fugitive sniper survivalist eric frein, but police say the dense woods and an infinite number of hiding places has made it difficult to capture the man accused of ambushing and killing corporal b Bryon Dickson and killing dougl douglass.

Coming up tonight at 5 00, nbc 10 was granted exclusive access to a part of the behindthescenes support effort for this massive search. Live in price township, monroe county, im doug shimell, nbc 10 news. Count on nbc 10 news and nbc10. Com to bring you continuing coverage from the poconos on the manhunt for eric frein. A developing story now out of washington, after nearly six years on the job, attorney general eric holder is resigning. A Justice Department official confirmed to nbc news that holder plans to stay on the job until his successor is confirmed. Holder is the first africanamerican to hold the job of u. S. Attorney general. President obamas expected to announce holders resignation and we will bring that to you lye as soon as it happens. Now to the latest in the effort to stop isis. A terrorist plot aimed at subway systems in america and overseas. Thats what iraqi intelligence Officials Say theyve uncovered today. They say Islamic State militants could be planning attacks on subways somewhere in the United States and paris, france. Nbc 10 National CorrespondentSteve Handelsman swrojoins us l in new york city with the latest on the new threat. Steve, what are you hearing . Reporter jacqueline, keith, good evening. I would say that theres skepticism about this. The nypd says it will look into it. The feds say they will look into it. But this kind of amplifies in the minds of many u. S. Officials the aspirations of isis. The hopes, the dreams of these terrorists to be able to attack in the u. S. And not any real ability they might have to do it. The warning, if you want to call it that, came from the Prime Minister, the new Prime Minister of iraq, the day after, meaning today, after yesterday, his first meeting with president obama, where officials said a short time ago that Prime Minister never mentioned any of this to the president of the United States. A former senior federal official calls this warning bunk. The director of the fbi says theres no more danger to the u. S. Now this week than there was last week. That doesnt mean that iraqi intelligence officials didnt twa talk to captured isis members who said theres a plot to attack the u. S. Something could have been lost in translation here, keith and jacqueline. It is not believed this is the revelation, if you want to call it that, of a brand new plot to attack, as the iraqi Prime Minister warned, somewhere in the u. S. Or specifically in the paris subway system. Parisians and french in general have already stepped up their security, not because of this warning, because theyve decided to take part in the u. S. Led air strikes and after the beheading of the french terrorist in algeria, the french president said they may expand from strikes in iraq to strikes on syria. Theyre on extra alert because of that. Speaking of strike, one more breakthrough if you will for the president in his effort to build a bigger and broader coalition. A revelation today by the pentagon that in those strikes that took out those isis oil refineries, 12 of them the day before yesterday, denying the terrorist groups, says the pentagon, about 2 million in revenue every day. That most of the planes and the vast majority of the bomb punnage dropped on these terrorists in syria were from Saudi Arabian pilots and pilots from the United Arab Emirates where dubai is located. Good news for president obama and helps him build the coalition even bigger now that hes left the new york venue where he was working on that for 2 1 2 days. Now hes back in washington working the phones to build the coalition bigger and stronger and not one would assume, keith and jacqueline, worried at least not immediately about isis fighters coming back to the u. S. Steve handelsman reporting for us live from new york city. Thank you very much, steve. Nbc10. Com has comprehensive coverage of the american air strikes in sere wra.
