profane thug or iconoclastic. thank you. i'll see you next week. hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield. look at the top news stories. the doors are locked at 22 embassies and consulates across the middle east and north africa. americans traveling around the world are being urged to stay vigilant. the details straight ahead. and in this country, people ran for their lives as a speeding car took aim at l.a.'s famed venice beach. one person is dead, nearly a dozen more hurt. the driver is under arrest. we'll hear from some terrified eyewitnesses. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
11:01 am
but, first new details are coming in as nearly two dozen embassies and consulates are locked up and closed down today. it's over mounting concerns that al qaeda is getting dangerously close to a serious attack possibly in the middle east or northern africa. sources say it's base on new information coming out of yemen and there's in concerns there. the threat has sparked a worldwide travel alert for americans that may not end very soon. and just in this hour, we are getting new details about the athlete. barbara starr is live for us in washington with that new information. barbara, what do you have? >> well, fredricka, u.s. intelligence had been watching yemen for weeks, if not months, watching a growing series of threa threats, potential threats in yemen. that's not surprising. that's always been a tough neighborho neighborhood. but it was within the last two
11:02 am
weeks that the u.s. intelligence community began to understand, come into possession if you will of an intercepted message among senior al qaeda operatives that indicated planning was under way, possibly the final stages of planning, we're told, for an attack either in yemen, middle east, or north africa. we've actually been asked by an obama administration official not to go into a lot of detail about all of this because it is so sensitive, so serious, it could put things at risk. intercepts are some of the most critical that the u.s. intelligence gathers. what are intercepts? it could be a cell phone conversation, website posting, chat room, a courier message. there's any number of ways that the u.s. would come to have knowledge about intercepted communications, but it looks like it was one of these events in the last two weeks that lead to this growing alarm and lead
11:03 am
to several subsequent events. closing down of embassies, the worldwide threat advisory, and, indeed, some u.s. troops being put on a higher state of alert in the region, ready to respond if it were to come to that. fred? >> many to respond within an hour, if they had to pack up and go. >> absolutely. this is now something u.s. marines are prepared to do when ordered. there are marines in southern spain, in southern italy, and onboard three u.s. navy warships off the coast of yemen. those are routine deployments for them, but they're combat capable, but they are ready if ordered, they can be on their airplanes, ready to go, ready to be on those helicopters within an hour of getting an order to do so. >> barbara starr, thank you so much for keeping us posted there in washington. this has, of course, impacted the 22 embassies and consulates already, including one in
11:04 am
israel. vladimir due tay is live for us there. vladimir, what is it like there today? >> hi, fred. well, today the united states embassy behind me is closed. i can tell you that it looks like routine security measures are in place. however, just yesterday there was a suspicious bag that was left just across the street from the embassy. i can tell you that within minutes a number of security offici officials rushed out into the scene. they cordoned off starts toward the start of embassy toward the next block, would not allow foot traffic or pedestrians or bikers dom through the area because this is a very touristy area. we're right in front of a
11:05 am
beautiful beach. there are a lot of restaurants and shops here. they cordoned off the area, had a bomb group here. there was a bag, they removed the bag and they allowed foot traffic to continue. wellst it doesn't look like they beefed uf security measures in front of the embassy, it looks like they're ready to face any kind of a threat within a moment's notice, fred. >> all right. vladimir duthiers. thank you. today doors are shut. john defterios is there. john, how does this factor into all of this? >> reporter: as you know, the last week of ramadan is a week of prayer and reflection. but in this case, fredricka,
11:06 am
it's a period for security. a chance for al qaeda to regroup, strike, and make a point. the move by the united states in abu dhabi to shut down its facilities raised some eyebrows. we're only about a mile away from the u.s. embassy here in the dip blow matt mat diplomatic area, you can't go in with a camera. we're only 300 kilometers away from iran. so it's front and center in anybody's mind, of course, in this sort of environment. i spoke to one european ambassador who said this u.s. response is a direct reply to what we saw in benghazi, libya, september 11, 2012, when the u.s. embassy was caught off guard and four americans were killed. they did not want to have that happen again and that's why you
11:07 am
see a very broad brush. we don't know when they're going to be open just yet. >> all right. john defterios. thank you. witnesses say a hit-and-run driver apparently plowed into a crowd on purpose targeting people as the car picked up speed as it sent them diving to safety. a woman on her honeymoon was killed. they've arrested the driver and charged him with murder. they said, quote, if he wanted to kill people, he picked the right time, 5:00 on a summer saturday. coming up, we'll hear from witnesses. the u.s. government is on high alert for a terror attack. especially in the middle east. in a minute we'll ask our analyst what that means for americans abroad and what you need to know. you really couldn't have come at a better time.

11:09 am
11:10 am
joous embassies around the world are on high alert. it has what it's calling an incredible threat, especially in the middle east. tom, good to see you. >> hi, fredricka. >> so we're hearing the term "credible threat," and we've heard it before, but in this
11:11 am
case, what message is being sent today to possible terrorists by these embassy closings? >> i think the message is if we intercept you with a possible attack, we're going to jump through hoops, close for business in 22 countries, i think we're sending a message that we're going to react very swiftly to anything we hear. it should make them feel so good to marek the u.s. jump this high. >> you heard barbara starr talking about within the last two weeks they were able to pinpoint this very specific information. of course, a lot of that information was not to be made public, but in your view, what kind of information, how detailed of an account might intelligence have in order to take these kinds of in some respects really drastic
11:12 am
measures? >> i don't know that it is that specific. i know that they're saying it is, but based on the reaction, other things don't exactly match up to specificity. >> what do you mean? >> such as close 2g 2 embassies instead of a handful, such as the worldwide warning to american travelers, that it's basically something they can't use. there's tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand american travelers outside the country, businessmen, students, vacationers. what do they realistically do with that kind of warning? they can't take flights to the u.s. any sooner, they can't stay in hotels in the next few weeks. there's so many things you can do. if you're traveling, you should be alert all the time. okay, you're extra alert. in a way it's almost like pushing a panic button when people can't just react to it. >> hmm. and reportedly some sources are telling other news organizations that apparently the embassies
11:13 am
and consulates may not necessarily be the target but they are flash points. they are points of concern in these middle eastern countries and in northern africa. but what other recourse would the u.s. have but to close an embassy if it's trying to respond to chatter that intelligence collected? >> it's like a fortress already. really the biggest vulnerability would be to the host country people who get in line to be a host american visa or get in line to do business at the embassy. the outer perimeter. it's provided by the host country security or contract security guard. so really the biggest threat in staying open is to the host country more than it is to the americans. if they want to attack the giant fortress like an embassy, it's a big target. there are those that are up
11:14 am
protected like hotels, restaurants, museums going about their business on a daily basis. i think to symbolically close an embassy and say the u.s. is afraid do business now, i think in my personal opinion it's a bad image. >> apparently they've upped their game, that they may be reportedly using surgically implanted explosives. what more do you or others know about the sophistication and operatives, particularly those being eyeballed in yemen? >> if you have surgically implanted explosives, you would have difficulty blowing up a telephone booth much less a concrete or brick border. most consulates are guarded. the benghazi consulate was a
11:15 am
rare situation. they're like forts and you're going to need a small army to be successful. they tried to enter the consulate in yemen. they tried to launch rockets, landing nearby, killing students, not the u.s. it's difficult to take on the embassy whether it has people or not. >> tom fuentes, good to see you. >> thank you. chaos and death on a california boardwalk. people running for their lives as a car drives right into them. the driver charged with murder. new details coming up. it might officially be back on, but why now and will it work. and a teen kills herself allegedly after online bullying.
11:16 am
her mother says facebook is to blame.
11:17 am
11:18 am
11:19 am
it looked like something out of a movie, something you never expected to see. there were people flying, lying on the grounlt, tents flying everywhere. >> he had to put his petal to the metal. his tiring were screeching. i saw him. he was looking for blood. that guy's intention was to essentially kill people. >> wow. unbelievable. they're talking about a guy who targeted people on the venice boardwalk. witnesses say he sped up and drove into the crowd, killing one person. police arrested the driver and charged him with one murder. nick valencia here with details. do we know a motive behind this?
11:20 am
>> fred, we don't. that's very disturbing. that's going to be b part of the investigation by the los angeles police department but law enforcement told me that the women killed was on her honeymoon. there's no evidence that he knew any of the people. this appears like one guy bent on doing evil. one person was killed and more than a dozen were injured when this man, according to police, intentionally drove his car onto the boardwalk. witnesses that our local affiliate spoke to said it appears he did this on purpose. >> he drove and took that left turn down the center of the boardwalk and starting driving. bodies were scattering and bodies were flying in the air and people were screaming and it was absolute mayhem. >> if this man chose to hurt people, he chose a good time to do it.
11:21 am
as the sun goes down, it's one of the busiest times. >> how did this car get on the boardwalk? >> that's a good question. i grew up in los angeles. there's no barricades. cars can intentionally or accidentally drive onto the boardwalk. police cars cruise up and down after hours. according to witnesses he got into a parked car, rounded the corner and drove into people intention amelie. >> terrible. venice beach, giant haven for locals and tourists. terribly sad. nick valencia. >> you bet. before today's u.s. embassies closing, u.s. secretary of state john kerry says he wants a middle east peace deal within nine months. palestinians and israelis are ready to talk. straight ahead we'll hear what both sides want out of the deal.
11:22 am
11:23 am
11:24 am
new details now about a terror threat that prompted the closings of nearly two dozen u.s. embassies and consulates today. we learn that a recently intercepted message between senior al qaeda operatives has triggered the alarm. we've been asked not to give any more information than that because it is so sensitive.
11:25 am
it's also sparked a worldwide travel alert for americans. meantime peace talks between the palestinians and israelis are set to begin this week. for weeks now u.s. secretary of state john kerry has been doing his shuttle diplomacy trying to get negotiations off the ground. john kerry says he wants to see a deal in place within nine months. what will it take to make that happen? we'll talk to both sides. the u.s. embassy remains closed today in tel aviv as it usually is on sunday but also because of threats in the middle east. are you worried that these gloel impacts will affect any hope for talking peace talks? >> in this part of the world you have to always keep your eye on the ball and be aware there are terrorists throughout that want
11:26 am
to hurt you. israel like the united states spends a lot of time, energy, and resources protecting people against a potential threat and oftentimes we know if the talks do proceed and we have peace talks with the palestinians, and i hope it's possible, for some people think that will be a bad thing. it's the terrorists who want to destroy the peace. it's very important that we understand that we have security arrangement ostown ground to make sure we protect the peace. >> will there be talks this week with both sides coming to the table, israelis, palestinians? >> yes, i would expect them to be there. >> who do you have? >> we have the administration of justice. the palestinians have their team. it's very important. for too long we haven't been talking. there were these artificial preconditions that were put on
11:27 am
the table. that was a mistake. now we're talking, palestinians and israelis, eyeball to eyeball. we've got to find solutions. it's not going to be easy, but we're focused on getting this done. >> you said in the past there have been preconditions. in the past if meetings take place, there are no preconditions or have they just yet to be discussed? >> no. all the issues are on the table. the palestinians will bring their demands to the table. we'll, of course, bring our concerns to the table. we're putting everything on the table and that's the best way to move forward. ultimately the only way to solve these issues is for palestinians and israelis to talk to each other now. >> okay. what are the israelis putting on the table? >> well, all of the core issues
11:28 am
are there. for us, the most important issues is security. in the past israel has pulled out of territories and we've on only been attacked in territories we left. we turned it over only to find hostile elements take over the territory. hezbollah, lebanon, hamas and gaza and we were on the receiving end of thousands of rockets. we want to make sure with the palestinians there will be iron-clad security agreement to make sure that doesn't happen. it will be a demilitarized state. that's one thing we're looking for. >> what are the others because that sounds like one that's always been on the table. >> yes. the security issue is very important for us. i mean you've got to always remember that israel is a very small country. we're the size of the state of
11:29 am
new jersey and we look to our northern border and we see people in syria. we see a region that is very volatile, chaotic, and we want to make sure that any peace agreement protects us. we don't want to expose our militants to unreasonable risk. we want a peace deal but it has to have as part of its foundation ironclad security arrangements because my prime minister -- and he said this, mr. netanyahu -- we're willing to be flexible ott a lot of the peace issues but we cannot be flexible on the safety of our people. for that we have to stand firm. >> thank you so much. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me, fredricka. on the other side, what do the palestinians hope to achieve from the deal, especially in light of the closing of the
11:30 am
embassies and u.s. consulates. she's a member of the committee of the plo and legislative council. good to see you. so let me ask you the same question as i did to mr. mark regev. >> good to see you, fredricka. >> excellent. are any of the talks scheduled for this week still scheduled for this week? >> no, not specifically at all because the global threats that come from al qaeda are not related to palestine in any way but it makes the issue of making peace, of ending the occupation, of having it all that more urgent and imperative. they use the palestinian cause
11:31 am
as one of the causes. i believe just piece will be one way of dealing with it and, of course, be one source of stability for the whole region. >> so what is different? you just heard mark regev. everything will be put on the table, there are no pre conditions being set. first, top priority for the israeli side would be some assurances of getting ironclad security, particularly in those areas. a, what's your response to that, and then, b, what do the palestinians want out of this process? why are you more hopeful this time? >> well, what we want is, of course, freedom and we want justice and we want self-determination. our own independent sovereign state and our own land, 67 boundaries with jerusalem as the capital. this is very clear.
11:32 am
that's always been our agenda. we're seeking that actively, not just through lip service. that's why we talk this time there has to be genuine accountability, genuine engagement. we do not doubt john kerry but we believe it has to be the political will and the courage to stand up to israeli violations and to insist that all settlement activities have to stop, the '67 boundaries have to be accepted and you'd be how quickly you can achieve it. you cannot settle it with peace or saying you are committed to a two-state solution. peace has to be based on law and recognize that this very unjust
11:33 am
situation has to come to an end and all issues, you're right, fredricka, all the issues that were agreed upon as the agenda. >> you say you respect the tenacity of secretary kerry. to what extent do you want the secretary of state involved? there's been this shuttled diplomacy over the weeks? do you want that included in the talks? what role do you expect the u.s. to play a role here? >> u.s. is the only third party that israel would listen to, so to speak, although there's a saying here that it's the tail that wags the dog. we believe they should stand up to it. put aside the sense of entitlement and prish ledge and
11:34 am
try to tell israel if it wants peace, then it has to abide by international law. that's why we need engagement. we believe the u.n. should be there. but the u.s. has to be each-handed. the problem has always been this blind support of israel, hear no evil, see no evil, speak of no evil, even when it's that. it's justice, principal, and international law rather than personal issues of self-interest and serving this strategic alliance with israel. the palestinians have to be given treatment on the basis of quality of human rights and so on, not on the basis of maintaining a situation of captivity and subrogation. >> all right, hanlan ashrawi.
11:35 am
thanks for your time. i think everyone is wishing best of luck on both sides. doesn't everybody want to see peace. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. and, of course, we know that we, the nation, the united states of america, are on high alert for a possible al qaeda terror attack overseas, but how did this country get to that point? some answers coming up next from a former top official at both the fbi and the cia.

al qaeda attack has put american travelers around the world on high alert. the u.s. closed 22 embassies and
11:39 am
consulates today and we just learned the was triggered by a recently intercepted message by al qaeda senior operatives. i spoke to counterterrorism expert philip mudd about how it may have been gathered. >> you've got to assess quality of information. you say what is the source. you say it my be an interce interceptable phone call. but i think america might be surprised at the amount you have to go through. you have go out and warn people. this has got to be serious stuff. >> when you hear about 22 embassies and consulates that will be closed on sunday and even france, britain, and germany are considering the same things, do you feel like it's going go beyond just one day? i mean why inform the potential enemy that it would just be for a day? >> look. this is a classic "rock in a

11:54 am
international threat. the white house continues its high-level meetings but does it seem that members of congress who have been so critical of the administration and handling of benghazi are now speaking with one voice on this current global threat? >> yes. and not only that, so are republicans and democrats on the select intelligence committee. you hear everyone from lindsey graham, a republican on the senate side, adam schiff from the intelligence committee saying this is the exact right thing to do, we're on it. most everyone agrees it's a post-benghazi era, and the administration doesn't want to ever sit up on capitol hill again saying why did you -- you know, you heard -- you know, the intelligence was showing you there were problems, why didn't you act, why is he there, they didn't want do that again. >> i appreciate what the administration is doing. they're taking the right approach to this. benghazi was a complete failure.
11:55 am
we recently dropped the ball. we learned from benghazi, thank god, and the administration is doing this right. >> so it is -- there is bipartisan agreement that this was the thing to do. what it all means for the future of, say, the national security agency or our relations to some of these countries where terrorism tends to breed is a source of some conversation. >> and, remember, you can catch cnn "state of the union" with candy crowley every sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. a doctor living with cystic fibrosis defies the odds and lives his dream. here's dr. sanjay gupta with the story. every day now chuck fox is beating the odds. >> when i was born, the average life expectancy was 18 years
