"outfront" starts now. breaking news. fbi director not at all confident that an imminent attack on america has been disrupted. and attacks could come as soon as tomorrow. and talk of a plot to blow up new york sub ways. the changes story tonight. and he fled, arrested on a beach in texas, jesse matthew returning to virginia. the question tonight, where is hannah graham. let's go "outfront".

"outfront" tonight, director the fbi says he's not confident that air strikes in syria disrupted a plot to attack america. tonight fbi director james comey says an attack could in his words happen at any time in the united states. pamela brown is "outfront" tonight. what else did the fbi director say? >> he said he believe this is group of hardened al qaeda terrorists known as khorasan is still intact and could still be plotting to attack the u.s. or europe. despite a series of bomb attacks in western syria this week, tonight the fbi director says he's, quote, not confident at all that the u.s. air strikes have taken out the khorasan group. the al qaeda offshoot sources say was planning an imminent

attack. >> they knew about the group and were prepare to go come after them, so quite possible that some of these fighters and operatives managed to disperse before these cruise missiles took out the training camps. >> reporter: in a closed door session today, james comey said the fbi did not have enough intelligence to know specifics of a plot, but believed khorasan could, quote, carry out the attack tomorrow, next week or months from now. the group of al qaeda operatives, including a former deputy of osama bin laden, had already acquired materials and was in an advanced stage of planning an attack against the u.s. or europe. >> these are seasoned al qaeda officers who made it their life's work to hit the united states. they may try to build new training facilities. >> reporter: intelligence sources tell cnn at least one of the alleged plots involve recruiting westerners to smuggle bombs concealed in electronic

devices or toothpaste tubes on to u.s.-bound flights. and as he a weights twaits the assessment, he says the group remains at the top of his list of concerns. >> pam, thank you very much. and iraq's new prime minister has caused a major stir today. he earlier today said his country had uncovered an imminent isis plot against subways in new york city and paris. the revelation was alarming and new york city's mayor responded. >> everyone should know the most important fact right now is we are convinced that new yorkers are safe, we're equipped peopm e should go about their normal routine. we refuse to live in fear. >> we're now hearing from the state department, vice president joe biden just met with iraq's prime minister and they're now saying that there is no specific credible threat. u.s. officials tell cnn that intelligence and law enforcement

agencies have no indications of an isis terror plot against u.s. transit systems. obviously this is hugely confusing. jim sciutto is "outfront" tonight. iraqi prime minister says an imminent threat. you can see what it sparked today and now the u.s. government saying it's not true? >> well, we saw today the worst way possible to talk about information like this. the iraqi prime minister apparent apparently having either old information or information captured via interrogation which is unreliable. and if you'll share that information, you want to share it official to official first and apparently the first anyone heard about it was when the prime minister was speaking to an a.p. reporter and when i was calling intelligence girif i rel officials this morning, they were saying that's the first i heard.

and finally put to bed saying there is no specific and credible threat. >> obviously sometimes it might be true. how were they so quickly able to be so confident? >> because you've gotten conflicting explanations from the iraqi prime minister. iraqi officials said that they got it from interrogation, but bret said i was speaking more of the general threat. as you say know, intelligence is not an exact science. there are always things percolating. but you have to corroborate them before you take them seriously. and new york takes terror threats seriously and they were responding as the mayor and police commitn necommissioner s were executing contingency plans but completely unnecessarily. >> thank you very much jim sciut sciutto.

joining me now is admiral john ke kirby. the fbi director said he's not confident at all that plotting by the khorasan group was actually disrupted by the air strikes that you all were carrying out. are you still carrying out strikes directed at an imminent threat? >> the focus has been really gi against isil. i would say that we are still assessing the results of that strike against khorasan and we can't say with any great definition that we know we disrupted that particular plot. we did know we hit the targets we were aiming at and they were valuable targets to that group. but we're still assessing it. >> but of course the fbi director said he's not confident at all. are you saying you agree with him or is he -- sounds like he's less confident than you are. >> well, we can't say with great confidence today that we know

definitively that we disrupted and completely derailed that plot that they were working on. but again, we're working through the analysis as best we can. >> so the question, though, that comes from this, whether you think air strikes alone whether do t will do job. >> we do not think it will do the job and we've said that repeatedly. good governance, that's what will get rid of this group. that takes time. we don't think military power alone will do it. iraqi people and syrian people have to work together and have to work on behalf of their own citizens. again, that will take some time. we are but one component of a much larger comprehensive regional strategy against isil. >> all of that of course is true, and big picture of course is true, but in the near term, to get from where the world is today to a good governance situation in the middle east,

where this isn't happening, there is a lot that needs to happen and of course part of that is boots on the ground. which as this administration has made clear, will not be american boots. but my question to you is, whose will they be? the united states has spent $25 billion, people in the pentagon training iraqi soldiers. who have not stood up and fought isis. so this concept of iraqi soldiers whether do it, syrian rebels thanks to u.s. training, is a little bit hard to swallow, isn't it? >> i understand the concern. iraqi security forces, there are some of them that did not perform well. others are. they are still defending baghdad or in and around the capital, they are stiffening their defenses. they are fighting. now, it's a mix. i understand that. isil still controls a wide swathe of territory inside iraq and they want more. they're trying to get the mosul dam back. isf and kurdish forces took it away from them. and we have to keep repelling them. but the ground forces that matter the most are indigenous.

if we've learned nothing else, it's that you have to have local support on the ground, local forces that trained and capable to the threat. >> so is the new leader of iraq any better than maliki if he's putting a threat out there that may not be credible? >> i can't speak spoke the reasons in which he put that threat out. what i can tell you is that we see positive vector in his the iraqi government as they begin to form. prime minister abadi has made it clear that he wants to stand for an inclusive responsive government, one that can respond to the needs of all iraqis. things are moving in the right direction. but they have a long way to go and he knows that and we will continue to support him. >> admiral, thank you so much. and "outfront" next, masked militant seen in these isis beheading videos. united states now knows this man's identity. breaking news next. plus the pentagon says air strikes are slowing the advance

james comey says he believes the united states has identified the isis militant seen in this video next to james foley. he did not publicly identify the militant by name, but the united states says the same man is heard speaking in the video showing beheadings of steven so the love and davis haines. so they are saying this is the same man in each video.othe lov. so they are saying this is the same man in each video. evan perez has been following the story. on one point people say you can do voice identification and find out if it's the same voice. but that's very different than actually finding who that person is, whose voice it is. how did they do that? >> well, the fbi has been working on this with british experts and with some experts from the private sector in the last few weeks. and one of the things they have been doing is going over the videos, piecing it together. analyzing into the onnot only t but also the figure that you see in the video.

and comparing to what they know about the militants that have gone over to syria. and they have been able to identify they believe that it is someone with a london accent and they believe they know who it is. now, they won't exact lly give the fine detail, but that is the process we understand that has been going on. >> why aren't they identifying who this person is? they have identify -- they talk about one of the leaders of isis and khorasan by name, why not the name of the man who identifies himself as the killer in the videos? >> the fbi has and ongoing investigation that it is focused on. and it is their practice the not to identify those persons. and what is interesting is we don't know whether or not the person in the video, the person we see and hear, is the person who is actually the person that killed these people. so that is the other thing that the fbi is frankly not able to

speaking was actually the killer. from tha >> thank you very much, evan. >> i want to bring in "new york times" columnist and co-author of a new book transforming live, creating opportunity. also with us, former cia counterterrorism official phil m mudd. phil, why haven't they been able to find him. >> sfwr my first guess is they haven't really confirmed who he is yet. but let me give you a different answer. this guy is a potential gold mine. i'm sort of sitting on the edge of my chair here remembering what i used to do. when you get the name of somebody, he's already irrelevant in a sense. he'll coulddie out in syria. but what he's signaling you is information about where he potentially got money to travel, who gave him documents, who were

his friends. what i always worried about in the business, what do we not though about potential networks that are out there. and if they have a name that they have confirmed, they are potentially building out the network around this guy to determine if there is a route extremists are travel to ing to syria that we don't know about. >> and that's a convincing case. obviously 94% of americans are a waiver the beheading videos before because they were so barbaric. that changed the tide here.befo barbaric. that changed the tide here. but my question to you, is this one person worth it? >> well, as a journalist, i want for see him held accountables i want to see him wrought in jail. and i think phil is right, there is an intelligence gold mine to be had. but already there have been a lot of british journalists think

who he is. so i think we have some good ideas about that. the trick is what you do with that information afterwards. and the fact that the beheading videos do serve a certain isis purpose. they serve as a recruitment tool. >> and phil, you were talking about other paths. obviously we've been focused on the foreign fighters that could be over there fighting. how concerned are you that there are paths that they don't even know about or that the number isn't real? >> the number isn't real. if you sit in dulles airport or jfk, if you want to tell me that you can confirm that every 17-year-old who is traveling to turkey who says he's going out to meet his family isn't actually thinking that he wants to go into syria? you got to be kidding me. i understand what the fbi is saying. they're asking every day what is your estimate of breadth of this problem.

you can't figure out all of then and the second thing is, in the world of terrorism, two people count. that's a cell.in the world of t people count. that's a cell.and the second th world of terrorism, two people count. that's a cell. >> that's apsbn interesting way putting it. how powerful do you think they have been as a recruiting tool? >> they have been powerful. already the other day, yesterday, we had the beheading of a french tourist by a group that aligns itself with isis. in pakistan, as well, we with have a taliban offshoot that has aligned itself with isis. and it's because of the fact that it's extreme. the things that make it repugnant to he us make it a recuting tool elsewhere. >> a lot of people may not realize, the beheading seems like they're trying to return to 2,000 years ago. yet according to the united nations, in this year, 45 people executed indaded oig in august.

nonviolent crimes. sorcery and drug smuggling. these are not people in the desert beheading people. this is the saudi arabian government. >> but the difference here, though, is in the islamic world and in the world of terrorism, these guys are putting videos out in environments where an 18-year-old who is very emotionally vulnerable will say there is only one game in the extremist world that is willing to take on the americans and willing to take on governments that are viewed as corrupt. and that game is in iraq. people in the world that i lived in don't talk about beheadings. they will talk about the one good extremist game in town that is even more game-on than al qaeda. and that is isis. this is very effective in the world that i lived in five, ten years ago. >> but it does create a certain awkwardness when we are going after isis because it is so barbaric and crucial for us to

have sunni allies in that fight like saudi arabia and that sunni ally is also beheading peeople. necessary, but it is awkward. >> they are an ale lie aly and beheading people for sorcery. >> and a culture that is con treb biting to the problem. up next, there was no air strike. the air strikes are getting so much attention, but are they work something. plus, he asked a cashier if it's safe to stay on the beach and then the police caught the man wanted in the disappearance of hannah graham. whatever business you're in, that's the business we're in.

iraqiiiraqi soldiers. be ben, how could this happen? they were taubl buildi talking about how the advance of isis has been halted, but you then we hear this. >> halted not correct, but slowed down would be more precise. this is a base in an area that had been overrun, so they were running low on food, on water. some of their commanding officers deserted them. others simply didn't answer their appeals for help. this is the story of one of the survivors of that incident. >> translator: an armored vehicle entered the brigade and blew up. and then isis started firing and

another humvee entered the brigade and blew up, as well. a lot were killed, many were wounded. myself and others escaped toward the orchards. less than 200 survived from four regiments. the rest either killed or wounded. >> reporter: and of course this incident took place not as you said before 40 miles from baghdad, it's basically 25 miles to the west of the outskirts of baghdad. >> even closer. and as you say, to say that the onslaught has been halted inaccurate, perhaps slowed down. but when you hear a story like the one you just told, ben, it makes people perhaps understand why the iraqi army seems in many cases to be running, to not want to fight. are they going to fight from what you can tell when you hear stories like you're talking about in baghdad? >> reporter: what we understand

is that many of the soldiers are ready to fight, in-geed edeed e fight because they're defending their homes and their families. but the leadership has proven time and time again in mosul and various other places that disrupt, it is incompetent tent, it doesn't have the ability or the will to lead these men when the fighting really gets tough. and the result is that many are doubting the ability of the iraqi army to do its job. the iraqi prime minister has called for an investigation to find out why the commanding officer simply did not do their job. i spoke with another kurdish commander who told me, look, the iraqi army simply doesn't seem to be up to the task that is facing it at the moment. >> sobering words. ben wedeman, thank you very much.

and we're now getting details about what the united states is trying to do about this given that the iraqi army is not able to do the job. the united states is trying to do it through air strikes. so what are actually hitting? tom foreman is outfront oig. and you've taken a look at exactly where they have been striking. more important steps in determining whether this is even working. >> and the air campaign according to the pentagon officials really is working. they swept across the northern part of syria. the next day they go cussed a little bit more back over here in iraq and then they pounded away at the oil production refineries. we said all along you can't get isis unless you hit the seyrian side of it. so they tried to take out facilities and vehicles and

people moving away. and then most recently, they have gone after the portable oil refineries, trying to take away income which amounts to about $2 million for isis every day. so all of that, if you look at the air campaign with these coalition forces, all of that seems to be working as planned at this point. >> so working as planned. when you talk about whether it's making a difference, is it making a difference? you have ben wedeman saying isis just slaughtered iraqi soldiers 25 miles from baghdad. >> this is the catch to all of it. look at this. this is it the frequency of bombings. that is from back in ally august. they worked at it, worked at it. big speck. over 200 vagair strikes. but does it really make a big difference. the problem is, when we start talking about attacks right down in here as ben was talking about, at that level, and the

fact that isis still holds or has heavy influence all through these region, you have to understand why the pentagon keeps saying this is a long slow process, this is not a knockout punch. even for all the big bombings lately, this is going to be something that will take a long, long time and there must be some kind of follow-up on the ground. if the troops can not fight back more effectively, if their leadership is not strong enough, there is simply no way air power can get the job done. >> including our mill taken ita analyst. colonel, you raise the sobering fact that when american embassies were attacked in east africa, the united states responded with tomahawk missi s missiles. three years later, 9/11 happened. yet again we're in a situation where air strikes are being

relied on. >> this shows the limitations to the president's strategy. without american advisers on the ground committed with those iraqi units, we don't have the visibility on what is going on. that battle took place over a period of hours and maybe a couple of days and kret we didn't launch any air strikes to prevent the post from being overrun. if we had american advisers embedded in those regiments, you can bet every american aircraft in the gulf would have been surrounding that base and destroying the isis fighters trying to take it. >> it seems frankly pretty socking that the united states wasn't there given now there is an iraqi government suppose lid working with the u.s..tates was there is an iraqi government suppose lid working with the u.s.. >> the vos majority are in hoe sul mosul and on the border.

and it's because we don't have people on the ground with the units and so we don't know what is going on. >> how significant of a story is this? you're talking about more than 100 dead and what was a very quick and horrific slaughter. and those are the boots on the ground. and the united states has said it would take up to a year to train some of the syrian rebels to join the fight. >> i think we could turn that around and say it will take probably a year to retrain the iraqi army and instill competent leadership in the formations there. this is not going to be quick. because this shows that the iraqi army still is not ready. at least they fought. in mosul being they just gave up. so i guess that's progress. but not much. >> so then when does the decision need to be made? for all the criticism coming at the united states for there need to be boots on the ground, how much time is there when you keep hearing about even the u.s.

itself saying that some of these air strikes were to prevent an imminent attack from a terror group called khorasan which the american public had not heard about unhe witil days ago? >> the isis threat is not prepared to launch in the immediate future. so a little bit of time there. khorasan is different. that is a part of al qaeda. and that group is truly deadly. they were planning strikes against us. and so i would imagine that we would rehit those targets right away if the battle damage assessment the shows that we haven't destroyed them. so these guys have already dispersed now. they will be very hard to locate. and it shows again the limitation when you don't have troops on the ground, you won't be sure that you can absolutely destroy these targets. >> thank you very much, colonel. and of course the director of the fbi said tonight he is not confident at all that those air strikes in syria disrupted the

plot to attack america and an attack could happen at, quote, anytime. o "outfront" next, new details in the case of the missing uva student. the latest there including the hunt for him and president clinton on the unrest in ferguson after an unarmed black teen was shot and killed. plus iphone 6 sales, scalpers lining up to line their pockets. >> didn't i see you yesterday? understand you were buying an iphone for your friend yesterday? are you buying more today? >> yes. >> for more friends? >> yes. >> you must have a lot of friends in china. ♪ [ male announcer ] momentum has a way of quietly exploding onto the scene. ♪

breaking news tonight. major development in the case of missing university of virginia student hannah graham. according to the virginia police, jesse matthew was investigated for an alleged rape in 2002. he was never charged, though, due to a lack of evidence. matthew is being brought back it charlottesville, virginia. he was arrested last night on a beach just outside of galveston, texas.he was arrested last nigh beach just outside of galveston, texas.charlottesville, virginia. he was arrested last night on a beach just outside of galveston, texas.

ed lavendera has the latest. you're there on the islands. i want to start with the new allegations about jesse matthew. >> reporter:. i want to start with the new allegations about jesse matthew. >> reporter: this was a case the chief prosecutor tells us that matthew was investigated for this sexual assault back in 2002 while he was a student at liberty university there. the case didn't go anywhere. he wasn't arrested and he wasn't charged. the prosecutor says that the woman didn't want to go forward with the case and that also matthew had told them that the woman had consented. so another wrinkle in the bizarre case and now all of the attention is here on the boulevard peninsula, people trying to figure out just why jesse matthew ended up here before he was arrested. jegs city matthew was arrested 1300 miles away from charlottesville, virginia, where authorities say he was the last

person to see 1-year-old hannah graham. the university of virginia sophomore disappeared almost two weeks ago. matthew is charged with abduction with intent to defile. he told a texas judge he will not fight extradition. virginia investigators are already trying to talk to the matthew while he sits in the texas jail but his virginia lawyer says he's not making any statements. >> if he says nothing, then he says nothing. if he starts talking to them or communicating, that's fine, too. or he might just say i want my attorney and never say another word. >> reporter: since virginia authorities launched the hunt for matthew earlier this week, the 32-year-old fugitive made his way to the remote stretch of the gulf coast. this is the spot on the boulevard peninsula beach where jesse matthew was arrested wednesday afternoon. it's a remote spot and this is the area where he had set up a tent just off the only highway that brings you into this area

and it's far from any of the homes that are around here. kind of a surreal experience for you? >> yeah, it was. >> reporter: mike was fishing on the beach and spoke with matthew. >> he said his name was george. he seemed real nice, real soft spoken. big guy. said he was down here from new jersey was looking for a job. >> reporter: he says it looked like plamatthew had camped out the beach a day or so and matthew wanted one of the fish he just reeled in. >> i caught a red fish and asked if they were good eating. and i said yeah, no problem. he wanted it to eat. >> reporter: moments later, sheriff deputies converged and arrested matthew. texas investigators took matthew's car and say virginia investigators are searching inside looking for any clues that might help them find than

that graham. >> to kill or hurt somebody, that's not my son. majority jesse matthew's father spoke out for the first time thursday. he says his son would not have harmed hannah graham. matthew played football at liberty university, an evangelical christian university. >> i can see him many trying to give the girl a ride home or help her out. >> reporter: and we're told that the virginia investigators that are here have been trying to speak with him to try to get some sort of information that might help them in the hunt for hannah graham. but it's not exactly clear how long it will take for them to extradite jesse back to the state of virginia. we're told that could take another day or into. >> i'm also curious where you are. it is a remote part of texas.in. >> i'm also curious where you are. it is a remote part of texas. you talked to people there who

saw jesse matthew. was there any indication of why he would choose that place or why he would choose the story line that he chose with the fake name and to be from new jersey? >> reporter: we've been trying to find any kind of clues that perhaps he knew someone here in the area. this is definitely a place that you have to not just drive toward the houston area, you really have to go out of your way to get down here to this stretch of the coast. and in fact from the up town of galveston, there is no direct road. you have to get on to the ferry to get on to the peninsula that we're on. so the fisherman that we spoke with who had spoken with him that day or yesterday afternoon said he didn't really get the sense that he knew anyone around here. >> all right. and of course at this point no indications hannah graham was with him. the hunt still on for hannah graham whether she is tell alive tonight. ed, thank you. outfront oig next, even though it bends, the new iphone has lines bending around the block. but here's the question. have you looked at those lines?

buying the iphone 6 and 6-plus, that is not approved yet by the government. >> the price is kind of crazy. >> reporter: kind of crazy? in hong kong, this man flipped his iphone-6 just minutes after buying it to a chinese mainlander at a thousand dollar profit. this woman stuffed her suitcases with 30 of them, to resell to the chinese, the world's largest market. in beijing, this is right outside the apple store, this man offering the still unavailable iphone-6. look at a popular chinese site, you will see the going price is 2600 to $3200 u.s., that is ten times the face value. you can see that china loves the iphone when the american phones go on sale in china.

that frenzy steppextends to the. back here, they don't want to explain why they do it. it is not illegal to do this in america but they are avoiding the import taxes. this man is carrying the iphone-6. >> now taking. >> reporter: he insists he is buying his two 6's for friends. but when we came back the next day and walked down the line again, guess who we saw? wearing the same shirt. good morning, didn't i see you yesterday? are you buying more today? >> yes. >> reporter: for more friends? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: you must have a lot of friends in china. >> yes. >> reporter: he has a lot of familiar company. standing in line again? >> yes. >> reporter: a lot of company. people came back, same people? >> some people, i think 20 or 30 people. >> reporter: and why not, he says, he would not tell us why he, too, has been standing in

more than one line to cell phone phones. >> got to make money somehow. >> i mean, the story is incredible, a lot of people felt funny in the lines and felt strange saying why are these people in line? i mean, one iphone could pay for their whole flight as one person was just saying. what happens, anybody noticing in customs? no problem. >> you have to get caught. and so far we haven't heard of anybody who got caught. and so far the people here think the risk is worth it. that is what we understand. if you're wondering if apple knows about this? well, they're aware of it but wouldn't officially comment on this story. i have to tell you, they're still here. you have seen these people three days in a row. so it is still going on. >> plus, kyung, if the guy is wearing the same shirt, they have to know it is the same guy.

it is a noticeable shirt, that is all i'm saying. "outfront" next, president clinton tells me why he thinks america is less racist after o e figure -- after the ferguson and george zimmerman cases.
