6:03 am
about this raid against al-shabab and who was tar geted? >> reporter: we don't have anything apart from that from the pentagon they were responsible. security forces are telling us that the target is -- they said it's by the league in the house at the time of the operation. and al-shabab but there were no senior commanders there at the time and say that only road to virginia guard was killed in the operation. they seem to pretty well prepare for it. it was because of intelligence or because they accepted this kind of attack would like it. they fight off one of the whole's special forces here. >> and the man accused of the 1998 bombings have been arrested
6:04 am
in libya. how significant is this occurrence in this region. >> it is very significant. for a long, long time the process -- and it's been a running sort. there's still been people with who are responsible or believed to have been involved in those bombings have been over to work freely. now that they have -- i think it is not just a public relations and it does under score just how physical it was for the americans to really finally get a hold of those people. the timing is also is really important. we understand and directly connected to the west gate and the west gate attack that al-shabab is responsible for and we also understand the connection across east africa. the timing of it is seen as important and seems to suggest
6:05 am
that the americans were stepping up the operations to try to deal with the militants and the people who say see is not just for american interests but international stabilitys across the region. >> peter, thank you very much. the atomic energy chief said the suspects were allowed to continue far while so they could be or gather intelligence. he said they are currently being questioned. >> an elementary school in iran has been struck bay car bombing leaving at least 8 children dead. there's been an explosion killing two officers. this follows a series of explosions where 66 people were killed. a suicide bomber targeted shia muslims in the capitol of

6:07 am
tahrir square. we expect to see a lot more coming in celebration of the anniversary of the war and the celebration but only a few have turned up so far. it doesn't make so sense. there will be prayers after 12:00 and we could see a lot more. it is not much of a celebration at all. i think it's at least for military it's much more than just another anniversary. for them they really want to see tense of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets the supporting the military. a way of legitizing really their role especially here in tahrir square which is an iconic place in the 2011 revolution. it's what you just -- they have called the frustrations across the country and saying it's also demonstrations in defense to
6:08 am
cairo and saying that these demonstrations will be heading towards tahrir square. they hope the to make it in to the square to give the celebrations but it is called the extra forces to come and to try and frustrate that move toward the square. now, they have been warned that they will be dealt with harshly if they do try to disrupt the celebration. the presidential spokesman on saturday said that anything against the army not just the anniversary or the celebrations will be regarded as the authority so they really are taking their safety in their own hands that they do push in to tahrir square. at the moment they are not seeing great numbers and certainly they haven't started much so far. okay, thank you very much far update. that's a special correspondent on the line for for cairo. sunday marked the anniversary of the october war in 1973 which
6:09 am
egyptian celebrates the victory as genre port canned as long been used to score political points by those in power. >> the first of the only time egypt's military had the uper hand in four wars with israel. the stalemate the settled far peace treaty. egyptians considered closing the canal on october 6th of 1973 a major victory. >> it's not only great in the egyptian army was also seized by every leader with decades to follow with an opportunity here. he lacked the charisma put built his legacy around it. so that's the annual victory parades and it was in fact assassinated during the 1981
6:10 am
ceremony. the success that most people -- he also road the way in deciding the first air strike as his role as air force commander at the time. during his time in power with security advisors, he held the top celebrations oh to offer the musicals idolizing him. including this one in the 1990s featuring some of the topper formers. the mill industr military took h forces were criticized by young revolutionarys. >> then came egypt's first
6:11 am
democratically elected civilian president mohammed morsi to camizcapitalize. the thousands who attended were come in by the muslim brotherhood and other religious projects to present a report card for his 100 days in office. the achievements an in the process antagonizing his critics are for military. today, the 14 14th anniversary comes as the military once again plays a major role after removing morsi from power in july. egypt has since been divided between those who support the military and those who are against the coup. the rival have been the cold ware on sunday and the 6th of october once again and an opportunity to advance political agendas.
6:12 am
>> well, joaning us now in the studio -- he's director of global scientists is in doha with with us. thank you for being here in the studio with us. now at the end oh of the war, israel ended up gaining more territory in fact. why is it important for egyptians to commemorate a war that many people see that they lost. >> it's a political celebration especially 40 years after. it's largely eroded except for popping -p the armed forces of both egyptian and syria and celebrating the political establishment. i think it's so interesting that it''s being celebrateed this year. it's also armed forces day in egypt so it gives the e legitimatecy to his group in egyptian. as you say the war raises the status of the egyptian army. this is way for them to show that they still have support that they might be faced.
6:13 am
do you think the army is still respective with the institution today after the revolution in 2011 and after the mohammed morsi. is it still in egypt as it was today. of course it was the most organized force in egypt where you have a lot of disorganization. other institution is in egyptian that will compete for same that the army has. there isn't one. that's part of the reason why the army gets the respect that it does. the wars have the victories of the past is from a by goner ra it' pretty much allies and cooperating on many fronts.
6:14 am
we are talking about something coming back from 1973. what are the indication of this war as a hole. six years a after the arab bombing where they went to this war. what lessons did they learn from it? >> well the war commemorated the start of the actual conflict, october 6th. it was so significant was six years after the six-day war the ar me surprised and actually made it in to the territories being held by israel which was a shot for teu for the israeli establishment. so that was significant in and of itself. the other reason is because it laid the path between egyptian and israel and only successful land at the negotiation has been accomplished in the region. the reason why it's quite significant because it led to the rise and then you wait.
6:15 am

6:33 am
terrorist. that's huge. secondly, the united states has demonstrated that it has the capacity to target in afghanistan, in pakistan, and also in places like libya and somalia all at the same time. so, it will instill, a degree of fair for al qaeda and also there are precautions for joining al qaeda especially during a time where al qaeda expands its affiliate and its franchises to the expense that they can attract more than 100,000 recruits from across the atlantic world. so, we heard the u.s. secretary of state say that the operations of libya and somalia shows the
6:34 am
u.s. will never stop and that's the act of terror he said. we often hear about afghanistan and pakistan and the drone attacks there. how expensive has the u.s. fight against extremistss been in this familiar region of the world? particularly in the east africa region? >> after the outst of gahdafi. it was full of conflict and split between tribele and regional lines which it can be exploited by a diplomat so al qaeda sees this as a great swamp where it can attract further recruit and serve as a launching past against the west. when it comes to al qaeda, the demonstrations really draw the red line. then when it comes the to others -- the united states are
6:35 am
to engage with them but without al qaeda, it elevates the red line to so* the united states will extent all its resource or energy to target al qaeda across the globe. the united states has to turn its potential towards that and it demonstrates very quickly. >> you have more from thest, preu tathe u.s.,britain and fra. you have big bases as well. so, how often do you think these attacks happen? >> this raid was conducted with the libyan government. as the united states spell intelligence capacity is in this
