Digital trail, his cell phone, and talked to every contact, friends and family. over time, especially with the networks isis has to get people out of europe into turkey and into syria, that he would have left. i think he'll have a choice. if he decides to become part of the propaganda machine for isis, do propaganda videos, celebrating what he did in france, then he'll crop up on the radar of people like the americans, british, french. his life span in my judgment will be rel lively short. difficult to track him but eventually he'll go down. >> like we saw with jihadi john not too long ago let...
