saying some of these individuals weren't eninvolved in any of these air campaigns, but i guess it's one thing for the united states to target isis in either syria or iraq but quite another to anticipate the lone wolf sympathizer, someone sitting this his basement inspired by propaganda and goes out and tries to attack an american soldier. how much should this concern the white house here? >> well, you know lone wolf incidents are few and far between. and isis has been more successful than almost any other terrorist group in inspiring he's kinds of interests. so there is definitely increased focus on that kind of attack. but they're still outliers. i mean where isis has shown some initiative is their propaganda and their outreach is targeted to people who might already be kind of unstable emotionally,

given here? >> wells isis has been developing a very robust hacking capability for some time. some members of the group who have been posting this link are connected to that organization and some aren't. but it's to their interests to represent it as hacking. but they do have a serious hacking operation. >> and again, as you understand it from d.o.d. how did they get the names, the photos, the addresses? >> i haven't seen the chain of acquisition for this yet. so i don't know exactly how they got this information. certainly as it was suggested, it could have been from public reports. some of the information was inaccurate, so there is a good possibility that they just did it by mining the open web. >> news articles even social media, an official from d.o.d.
refugees. many families now living newer the turkish border vowing not to leave without their children. meantime some 100 u.s. troops could be the target of isis not on the battlefield of iraq or syria, bru right here on american soil. this mysterious group known as islamic state hacking ors releasing this so-called hit list posting the names and addresses of men and women on line. it's important to mention that much of the names photos they're publicly available. the most it is turnsh disturbing part is what it wants its isis supporters to do that being attack and stab or behead these military members. jan is joining me. first, this group how much do you know about this group, how much validity should even be
newly elected afghan president evgeni is in washington today. he's expected to ask the white house to consider keeping the u.s. in his country for longer than planned. all of this as afghanistan joins a gang of nations facing a threat there isis. recruiters trudging the afghan mountains in search of vulnerable mines. nick paton walsh got the a chilling exclusive look inside. >> reporter: where there has long babyeen faith and war serene hills and aed a new and modern plague has now come. you're seeing rare pictures filmed by our cameraman of what we are told is an isis recruitment session in afghanistan. brothers, i'm here to tell you,
that's the bigger enemy for them. the al qaeda leader in yemen is the number two at al qaeda core across the globe. so they're trying to keep out the sort of growth of isis drawing people away there al qaeda. we've seen it all over the globe. but it is happening in yemen and certainly there will be a competition between the two and certainly al qaeda will want to keep a hold of its people, want to have the strongest fight that it can. but the reality is that the isis message is becoming pervasive and the propaganda and the bloody pictures that they were able to get through that attack in the mosques in sanaa on friday that plays to their strengths. this is the model that al qaeda continues to use. the most dramatic pictures and it tries to win over young recruits. and they will probably be hoping to do precisely that through what they're doing at the moment. >> nic robertson, knows this
u.s. being an ally with a now ousted president using this country as a launching pad drones what now that the u.s. presence is gone? >> well, certainly there are drone possibilities just beyond the borders of yemen from saudi arabia and across the sea from djibouti. but what you lack is the sort of connectivity on the ground with spies on the ground people within al qaeda maybe even isis who can provide tiny anysnippets of information. and with a civil war going on, al qaeda and isis in yemen only have to look at their brethren in syria to see, look make use of the civil war grow your areas, get stability in those areas, take over towns set up operational bases and take
control of chunks of territory to use them potentially to attack let's say the united states in the future. so the implications for these pull out of the last troops an everything that has been happening over the past few months it's very serious, brooke. >> so isis could capitalize. we're reporting that the lives lost during prayer at the mosques in the capital city in yemen on friday isis claiming responsibility there. i'm curious, though this is al qaeda headquarters for al qaeda and arabian peninsula. can you -- not that i care how al qaeda feels about the isis presence now in yemen because they're both enemies of the united states but i know there has been this sort of competition. >> you know right now they have a common enemy with the houthis. al qaeda has claimed that it successfully claimed another 30 houthis. so they're both trying to fight the same enemy here.
to move forward the best they can and kind of restore their fraternity's name. >> cathkatherine valentine, thank you so much. >> thank you, brooke. coming up next we will delve dweepeeper into senator cruz's announcement that he's running for president. we'll get a closer look at his wife heidi. and more are on isis. this time recruiting inside afghanistan. cnn has exclusive access to one of these recruitment meetings. we'll take you inside. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters? not just someone. someone from angie's list. but we're not members. we don't have to be to use their new snapfix feature. angie's list helped me find a highly rated service provider to do the work at a fair price. come see what the new angie's list
people who might be prone to violence anyway. and then this will adopt that person after the fact as being an isis supporter. >> jan, berger, thank you very much. now to the crisis in yemen. it's being called one of the most dangerous countries in the world and there is growing concern that this ally to counterterrorism is on the brink of civil war. and may be turning in to a breeding ground for terrorist. and now the united states and britain are pulling out. 125 special operations forces have evacuated. the embassy has closed. and britain has also removed its military troops. all of this as rebels have taken over the province of sanaa and international airport. proceed test protests are rampant. nic robertson has been following all this therefrom london.
