Bill. that what we heard from officials is someone knows out there will know these people and recognize them at that point the hope is they can be captured very quickly. we have some more questions for you. specifically you were talking about the jihadist forms. have you been covering that on the fox news channel. and the information that the fbi and the police intelligence might be able to glean from that in the 24 hours. so it s the time frame preceding, during, and after. the initial reports was there wasn t a lot of charter or activity that usually that kind of involvement. one of these jihadist or radical web sites and that as what really pretty quiet immediately after the attack except for what i would call the expected celebratory messages which ....
