[ gunshots ]
7:01 pm
ndent on the ground what do you know about the surrender or capture of one of the suspects? [ indiscernible ] >> we can see a number of armed police outside an apartment building. and it is quite calm right now. but a few hours ago they want in heavily armed. there were sharpshooters in the
7:02 pm
area. they went into a first floor apartment. for 15 minutes. we don't know exactly what they were looking for are weren the apartment for long. and still hoping to get more details on that. the youngest suspect appears to have turned himself in. >> also atika, police released photographs of the names of other men they believe are involved. what do you know about that? >> they put out the names and helped others in iraq. between 2005 and 2008. he was convicted of recruiting young men to go to fight in
7:03 pm
iraq. [ indiscernible ] le hours. clearly he was somebody on their radar. >> all right, atika, stand by with our breaking new. want to get back to anderson cooper with more on the investigation. anderson first to you. you spoke to the filmmaker. we showed the video at the top of the show of this attack being caught on tape. what did he tell you about this? >> yeah martin dubros
7:04 pm
journalist in the same building. heard the shots. ran up saw two of the gunmen or, one person in his office saw two of the gunmen. they ran up to the roof of their building. that's when the video starts. and he was able to capture the sights and the sounds of it. obviously this video has been very important. not just to media covering it and people who are interested in it. but to law enforcement as well. really getting a glimpse of the gunmen. getting a glimpse of their tactics of their capabilities. it's something that law enforcement intelligence communities have been looking at very carefully over the last 14 hours or so. he also -- martin dubros after the gunmen fled he and others went into the offices of of the magazine and said the scene was obviously just one of of horror and, bodies strewn throughout the newsroom there had been a meeting of of the news staff, a weekly meeting, so whether or not the gunman knew
7:05 pm
precisely that the meeting was taking play at the time or not. they could not have picked a worse time to actually to attack. or perhaps from their perspective. a better team to attack. so many people were gathered together. just a horrific scene inside the offices. >> can only imagine. you were at one of the demonstrations tonight where parisians gathered to show solidarity. describe the scene, will you? >> it was very interesting, don. over 10,000 people came to the square. on one hand the people were defiant. freedom of the press is not going to be silenced in the country. for freedom of speech. liberty which is something that is very important here in france. at the same time people were telling me that they felt heavy hearted. one gentleman who came up to me. who used to bea journalist himself. the last time he felt this way was on september 11th 2001. very quick to say he doesn't want to equate the two.
7:06 pm
9/11 was so much worse than here today. he said the same very heavy, sinking feeling that he had as though almost part of this country had died. but at the same time, people were -- very very positivement people were saying that that they were going to continue with their lives. they would not allow terrorism to dictate the way they live their lives. what i've found really important at the demonstration. these were impromptu demonstrations. called in very quickly. there was absolutely no anti-islamic or muslim sentiment at demonstrations. something very important. you had people here from arab community. muslim community. european french people here, who would stand together. not allow extremism from either side. right-wing extremeism from one side. or take hold of their lives. and define their lives, don. awe all thank you very much. >> joining me now on the phone is a journalist in paris and he knew one of the victims and ran to the scene. thank you for joining us. you work nearby.
7:07 pm
you arrived about 15 minutes after the attack. i want-up to describe to us the scene in those initial moments. >> when i arrived there was a big, the situation was chaotic. there was a lot of police arriving. it was not clear what happened. >> you knew the editor. some of the staff killed this morning. what can you tell also bout them? >> well the magazine, it, well little circulation. but very well known. they basically respect no one and nothing. they make jokes about every religion. politicians. about the police. you can name it. but they also. they're lack that. that's their character. they were four years already. since they published cartoons the prophet muhammad. >> maybe because of the threats. but, usually had two bodyguards protecting him, is that right?
7:08 pm
>> yeah that's correct. he was always acompanied by one or two secret service officers. everywhere we went, for the last four years. and his bodyguard today was killed as well. and in action. >> found it odd that he had two bodyguards with him? >> yes, i used to participate in a debate on french tv. and i met him regularly. and i think, six months ago i saw him again. he was with two bodyguards. two policemen. and, i found it odd. we were against journalists. amongst journalists. there was no danger at all. but with hindsight it was naive to think like that. unfortunately, even if he had -- had, had protection all the time it wasn't enough. >> describe the shock that
7:09 pm
france is feeling right now? >> the shock is huge. not only in france but ooh have seen reactions, of compassion in the world today. on social media. on television. and -- and of course journalists die in when they're doing their job. in war zones. we read about that every day. when ten journalists are killed in the center of paris. it is no longer an attack it is an attack on freedom of expression. >> in germany for example. they have been dealing with a great deal of islamphobia recently. are people expressing anger towards muslims after the attack. >> france is the largest muslim population in europe. 6 million people. 10% of the population. of course when there are tensions in the middle east. you see tensions in french society. but this has been going on for many years. but i -- it's true that there is a couple of actually about a year. with the aye events in iraq and syria. the positions are becoming
7:10 pm
harder. there is much more security in the streets of paris. people do speak out against immigration, against muslims. and, yeah that's a very worrying situation. >> you said it is an attack on freedom of expression and journalism. should they continue doing what they do? >> of course, we should never cede to extremists to cowards who want to kill any form of freedom of expression. it's -- it's a tough job, but you know we should not -- should not surrender to these kinds of threats. we should not be afraid. of course they should have the right to publish everything they want. it is a free country. freedom of speech. nobody should die for that. and that is something we should fight for every day. >> stefan devries. thank you. >> your's welcome.
7:11 pm
>> more breaking news. i want to bring in cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr. you have information on the suspects. what can you tell us? >> good evening, don. french officials apparently had the identity of one attackers known to the united states. u.s. law enforcement telling evan perez that the u.s. was aware, some time ago, of the identity of who turned out to be one of the perpetrator tuesday. one of the alleged perpetrators. the u.s. became aware of this person through french authorities. they had the person under surveillance. so it is raising the question if he was a known entity how could he have pulled off this attack. what the indications are is while he was under surveillance not a tier one target if you will not a top terrorist threat. so perhaps very difficult to maintain constant surveillance over this person very manpower intensive. but none theless, now what we are seeing for the last 14 hours or so is u.s. intelligence
7:12 pm
services french security and intelligence services, sharing all of the information on the suspects. combing through everything they have. e-mails, telephone intercements seshl social media, communication, imagery, messages. every scrap of material they have to see if they can put together essentially think of it as the a pattern of life. communication trail, interactions the suspects may have had with other people and other places. big questions where did they get their training weapons, planning organization went into this attack. so they want to not just catch the guys. that is urgent. they want to find out afrg they scan about them. where they went. who they knew. don. >> barbara, the president of the united states barack obama offered any assistance to french authorities that that we could do here in the united states. a lot of this is manpower
7:13 pm
intensive. does the u.s. have any role in this? >> well it is that cooperation there is very close cooperation between u.s. intelligence services and the french. particularly on the counterterrorism and homeland security front. this is something that the u.s. and french have been cooperating on. because of foreign fighters going to iraq and syria. coming back to the west. coming back to europe. france. potentially on to the united states. a lot of effort to keep track of these people. coordinate. and, and try and track where they are and how, how they are moving. so we have seen this cooperation. extend in recent months. and very safe to say, that cooperation is around the clock now. as the they try and find these attackers. >> thank you very much. pentagon correspondent barbara starr. a whole lot to got to when it comes to breaking news tonight. two suspects named. one in custody. reportedly turning him self in. plus heightened security in new york city.
7:14 pm
and around the world tonight. because of this. we will talk to new york's top cops coming up. ♪ music ♪ ...the getaway vehicle! for all the confidence you need. td
7:15 pm
ameritrade. you got this.
7:16 pm
7:17 pm
back with breaking news. one of the three suspects in the deadly attack in paris turned himself into place. ap reporting he is 18 years old. in a statement posted on their website. french national police are asking for information on two more suspects. cherif kouachi and said kouachi warning both are armed and dangerous. i want to get to the international correspondent, live in paris, with the latest on this. also frederick, we are seeing an increased presence of police in paris tonight.
7:18 pm
>> yeah you are absolutely right. one of the things on the streets here. i was roaming out here. as you said in some demonstrations in support of the magazine from which the people were killed. and you could see out on the streets here there was more police than usual if you, are in paris frequently you dupe see a lot of police on the street. but you don't see them as heavily armed as they were today. it was very interesting to see for instance on the main boulevard here in paris, you saw cops walking around. all of them had high powered rifles with them. because it seems as though one of the thing that might have happened in the incident on the ground. attackers were there for part of that. a shootout with police the police was overpowered. using high powered assault rifles. the police had pistols at the time. you saw more police on the ground you saw police that was more heavily armed.
7:19 pm
clearly bracing for something, fearing that other attacks might happen. of course in the aftermath of the one that happened on the magazine. so certainly i wouldn't say, that there is an air of fear here in paris. but there certainly is concern. and there certainly is a bigger presence of law enforce. on the ground and they are more heavily armed. >> thank you. >> joining me now, william bratten police commissioner of new york city. and deputy director of counterterrorism. commissioner bratten you have taken terrorism steps here in new york city the what are they? you increased presence? >> that's correct. literally almost upon the hearing of the events in paris. we benefit by the fact that we have a detective assigned there full time. throughout the day we have been getting information from him. he is very close working relationships with the, the french police services. but almost immediately that we
7:20 pm
activate activated plans we have in place for these types of incidents in which we have critical response vehicles crv, transitioned in manhattan, can be moved around in the city quickly to provide extra security at various critical locations. so working with information about this attack in paris, we put that into place. we also have our hercules teams which many in new york are familiar with seeing around the city frequently. the heavily armed officers. we utilize to help secure critical sites. so it was a multilayered response that went into effect all most immediately. upon learning of the event in paris. >> what is your concern of a copycat? >> well it is just that concern. the copycat or or -- the -- the incidents involving terrorists in the past is that that often times they look to try multiple events. so there is all way that concern. so until we really get an
7:21 pm
understanding of what's happening in this case in paris, and even now, many hours, the events it's not quite clear what happened. who is involved. that we will always err on the side of caution. the benefit in new york a large police force, capabilities resources to put into play. we are able to move fairly quickly, comprehensively to secure multiple sites. and also benefit by a huge intelligence operation that commissioner miller directs that almost 1,000 people focused entirely on intelligence and terrorist activities here in the city. >> i can imagine the video taken on the scene will be helpful in the investigation. commissioner miller what struck you about the video. video of the gunmen. they hid their faces. they had a getaway plan. what does that suggest if anything to you? >> i think what was most striking from the video, from both an intelligence stand point and tactics standpoint when you look at the two individuals they
7:22 pm
have come prepared with -- with their tactical clothing and they have come with tactical gear including the magazine holder's the weaponry but the most striking thing is the level of calm and through which they move through the event. you witness the execution of a police officer. you see them in their escape having already killed a number of people in the newspaper office. and what you don't see is panic. on the part of the gunmen. these are strong indicators this is not the first time they have handled weapons, not the first time they have been around gunfire. so as the officials in france go through the background of these individuals, as we look at the background of these individuals, within the u.s. intelligence community. what we are looking for is -- where have they traveled? where have they trained? where have they fought? we will gather those facts. but i would suggest in absence
7:23 pm
of the facts, it is going to be fairly unlikely this was the first time they handled firearms or shot at people before. >> french police put their names out there on a website asking for information. and their pictures. commissioner bratten, the fact that they knew who the-- commissioner bratton, the fact they knew who the individuals were early on does that tell you anything about their affiliation? >> one thing we know about the french police service. they are very good. we liaison with them quite closely. we have a detective assigned full time in paris who has been there for a number of years. so we are well aware of their capabilities. and the fact that they're as good as they are. and they need new work with lead. very quickly that they might be given. a reflection of the capabilities and qualities of the police intelligence. >> is your detective assisting in the investigation?
7:24 pm
>> our detective from the intelligence bureau is certainly available to the french. this has always been clear to the french prefecture and police. that's what his job is as a liaison post the broker between the nypd and french prefecture of police in paris if they need information we can supply it and that we have it and the same goes both ways. the idea that -- that our detick tich was on the scene today. that was later at the hospital. had access to the peoplen the investigation. and was able to feed information as he got it in real time back to the intelligence bureau so that we could do the proper deployments. understand the threat picture. and have the latest information as it was coming in was invaluable. at the same time we were getting information through the fbi and their legal attache. all of the communication was
7:25 pm
nearly seemless today. in a city with a target environment like new york city that's critical. >> commissioner bratton, deputy commissioner miller. thank you for your time. >> thank you don. >> thank you. off awe thank you. >> our breaking news tonight -- one suspect surrenders. two are still on the run after the terror attack in the heart of paris. do the terrorists hope the people of france would cower inside their homes? they go out wrong. thousand take to the streets in solidarity with murder victims. how france is fighting back. that's next. ♪ ♪ you're only young once. unless you have a subaru.

a magazine. tomorrow is a national day of mourning in france. flags will fly at half staff for three days. thousand took to the streetsen solidarity with the victims. many holding signs. bearing the words "i am charlie." others brought candles, flowers to a small memorial outside the offices. i want to bring in the former policy analyst, and nicholas cristoph, column gist forist for "the new york times." good to see you. >> thank you for having us. >> this is the worst terror attack in europen a decade. what is your read on what happened today? >> i think extremists they have a political agenda. it is beyond free speech if you
7:30 pm
think of it. and their agenda and al qaeda's agenda is to try to recruit more and attack more in europe. it is clear what they well do is they will try to shake the ground. they will do what they did in iraq and afghanistan. they will go and do attacks, multiple attacks. now well have many jihadists from europe. they will come back the they will attack. and they will -- take any excuse to attack. bottom line if the french society would reacten a tough enin a tough way against the muslim community. they have 5 million muslims living in france. they will oppress them repress them. >> french muslims. >> the would be easier than for al qaeda to recruit. zarqawi zarqawi, this is what he did, attacking shiites. he started recruiting more among sunnis. this is what he did in afghanistan. if you think about it this is what they do. they have a political agenda.
7:31 pm
>> understood. do you think we will see more attacks like this in france because of the population that there is more of a possibility because of the number of people there are extremists among them? >> unfortunately you will see multiple attacks in europe. not only in europe. we know that -- that many brits went to to -- syria to iraq today. many dutch. many germans. we know that a lot of -- people that feel disenfran choose itted they have a crisis of identity or feel excluded. whatever reasons. because also today it is easier for al qaeda, isis and groups to recruit on internet. many went and start fighting with isis in iraq or or other places. but create a political identity in the west it will be easier for al qaeda and for these groups if the muslim community is -- is felt or they feel that they are oppressed if we isolate them it is easier than to break
7:32 pm
into them. >> you know when you write something look what you wrote. you're playing with fire. because this is a hot button issue. you wrote today about the attacks. you posed the question is the islam to blame for the shooting at "charlie hebdo." the great divide is not between faith it is terrorists and moderate, those who are tolerant and those who are otherwise, who, who otherwise, is that the end of it? >> who otherize. >> who otherize. >> put the focus. >> i need the glasses. >> explain, what did you mean by that? >> we have a deep-seated tendency to perceive people different skin color, different ethnicity and religion. and a narrative about how different they are. i have traveled around the middle east. so often have talked to radical jihadis who have constructed these remarkable narratives about the oppressive west and how -- how zionists in the west are out to destroy muslims.
7:33 pm
and -- i think one of my theorists is that that we in the, aftermath of this kind of brutal attack will otherize people ourselves. we'll fall prey to the same kind of very human tendency. and the basic question so many people are asking is -- is islam to blame. and i think we need to acknowledge that there are real problems with intolerance and violence and extremism in islam. but, they are not representative of a faith with 1.6 billion adherents. >> before we start profiling people you said we should stand with "charlie hebdo" for the global outpouring of support it's inspiring. denounce oppression, miss ojysogony in the islamic world but not respond to intolerance with our own. >> australia provided a great
7:34 pm
example in the aftermath of the horrific hostage taking in sydney. last month. that people on the one hand denounce the brutality of that attack. of those murders. but started an i'll ride with you campaign to stand with muslims, australian muslims that ordinary australian muslims are not being blamed for the act of a crazy, violent criminal. >> you were raised as a muslim, your dad, your mom, right? is this the islam you know? >> absolutely not. look i am an israeli citizen. ethnic palestinian. i am a muslim. i have a jewish husband and catholic daughter. i couldn't be the way i am today and make the choices if i wasn't raised bay a tolerant father. but if you, your question is very important. what islam these people come from what ideology. look at saudi arabia. after september 11th our response and, and, vengeance,
7:35 pm
went toward the wrong place. we went invaded iraq. because we felt somehow, al qaeda is connected. weapons of mass destruction. we dent find anything. we invaded a country. secular country. ruled by a dictator, secular to. date ideology and the faith and the base for these people is saudi arabia. we didn't do much about it. we dent doon't do much about it. another country that is mass producing extremists is egypt. we don't do much about it. because these are our allies. these contradictions are producing more extremists. >> you think al litzlies should do more? >> we should press the allies. they will not do it on their own. >> many allies are saying muslims should be doing more on their own as well. it's not just. >> they can do on their own. when you have saudi arabia exporting more than oil. we don't, we don't stop them. then there is a responsibility of our government to stop them. >> before we go.
7:36 pm
this is a satirical magazine. poke fun at the pope and world leaders. is there a red lean youine you should not cross? >> i think wewe -- think ween journalism should try to avoid offense. if i am not accustomed to losing colleagues drawing cartoon in their offices. >> thank you. >> thank you for having us. >> the gunmen executed their victims reportedly calling them by name. are they likely part of a larger terror group. up next we well talk to the expert.

7:40 pm
on the run after the attack on the paris office of "charlie hebdo" magazine that killed 12 people. all the important clues right there. on the video. it was caught the attack was caught on tape. joining me is peter beinhard columnist, and julienne cayenne, and a former cia official and a former jihadist and author of undercover jihadi. >> juliet one suspect turned himself in. you are sceptical of him. why is that? >> i am not skeptical. it's just all way that first reports are always iffy. we have learned this time and time again. at least european press is reporting that school -- his friend in school are saying he was at school today. so one of the reasons why we
7:41 pm
should just say he turned himself in. we don't know what he knows. police have gotten things wrong before. and he did, turn himself in voluntarily. because of all of the news and, and because they released his name. so let's just reserve judgment about whether he is the one. time and time again. the boston bombing. columbine. everything. the first reports -- it's tricky. facts are tricky in the middle of a crisis. in the middle of an emergency with such horror. and response. and, and -- so i -- just always instinctively. shared with producers, let's just wait. >> all right. point taken the i've want-up to analyze the video. let's play the amateur video and then we will talk about it. [ gunshots ] [ speaking foreign language ]
7:42 pm
>> phil mudd what stand out to you about the perpetrators and about the weapons they used. >> what stand out to me is starting at 2008 at the fbi, we saw a transition. that transition was from what we called al qaeda core the people who conducted, the organized 911 attacks to what we called home groans. people in cities like miami, atlanta. who said "i want to be part of the movement. i am going to do something off the wall. something i was inspired to do yesterday a week ago." this was different. this is people, that i, what differed from the bureau '08, '09, '10. even earlier this year in ottawa, new york. people got together. three of them. clearly, guessing surveilled the target. obviously knew who they wanted to shoot. this was more organized than what i expected to see.
7:43 pm
>> so how do you get weapons like that in france? >> i'm not sure how they got the weapons. i think that is an interesting story. i think over the next 24 hours the other eight or ten pieces i would be worried about will become more interesting and more significant. let me run through them. once you got the names you can check travel databases. within hours you are going to know whether the guys want to turkey. which is the have now to get into a place like syria, iraq you. will know weapons licenses. you will know if they got a credit card. whether they bought explosives. you will know from facebook e-mail. phones who they talked to. whether they had associates. the amount of data not only weapons. but the amount of data in the coming hours since we have identified names. when we are talking tomorrow. i predict the picture is clearer than today. 24 hours will be decisive. >> attack against the nation or
7:44 pm
an attack against individuals? >> that's what makes this so interesting. in the past what you have generally seen. attacks on random civilian targ egts -- targets, expressing on session to government policy from a european government that was involved with america fighting in iraq or afghanistan. this was not really a rinse to french government policy it appears. it was rinse to the policy of a particular magazine. so what i think makes this different is the idea that -- we now have you know magazines that are combat anlttants in this thing called the war on terror. owe pose to governments. for magazines. journalists. individuals. in some ways like the sony dynamic where you also had a government attacking, an entertainment company. it raises a lot of questions about how -- how private institution, that its supposed to not normally thinking of itself as representative of a
7:45 pm
nation at war, responds. >> moving you know we know that this office was fire bombed in 2011. we know that they -- that they were al qaeda's, on al qaeda's most wanted list. and should the magazine have censored itself more. should they have been more careful careful? >> well you know this is a non-muslim country. the rules offis islam don't apply. i don't like the cartoons. i am not going to go kill people over it. i have the right to be offended. people have the right in this kind of society to do that. if i could quickly pop off on the video. there isn't a lot of talk about them being professional and trained. in fact they're not really professional. there is a little bit more organization to it. kind of used to the lone wolf or amateurs. they were a little more prepared. there is a risk of cross fire. the way they're holding the
7:46 pm
weapon. not a way the professional on rates. they probably likely have combat experience or combat training. being professional is a leap. >> thank you, everyone. coming up. most of us have never heard of charlie hebdo until today. but it has been on the radar of islamic terrorists for years. more on that next.
7:47 pm
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
7:50 pm
st on "charlie hebdo" it is an homage to charlie brown. this image, depicting how charlie brown might have reacted to today's event was circulating online. and matt davis is here editorial cartoonist that was a re-release right? the charlie brown cartoon? >> i believe so. i don't actually know. >> what did you think when you heard the news as a cartoonist? >> what did i think? it was -- it was -- well a shock and of course. and just really sad. that something -- we get --
7:51 pm
cartoonists, editorial cartoonists get threats all the time. we get death threats. and, you know, i have had death threats. but you don't expect anything to come of it. you know it just kind of goes with the territory. >> are you always aware of it. does it somehow influence, what you sketch. >> your message? >> no. >> mostly -- as a cartoonist. you just are trying to and do the best cartoon you can. cartooning -- a form of sort of see if lnt protest sigh leapt protestlent protest. not something to satirize but to hit. >> lot's put yours up on the screen. there you go. what are you saying there? >> well it really just depicts
7:52 pm
the -- the -- -- just the clash of cultures and -- and complete misunderstanding between the guy holding the pencil and what we do with the pencil. >> you call this the newtown for cartoonists? >> it was, yeah. that's how i flt thiselt this morning when i was driving into work. i heard it come over. it was a gut punch. i felt really really sick. you know the notion that -- that you can just -- moving moving your pen sail roundcil around on a piece of paper that that can get you killed. that's what we do every day. and i expect some blow-back. but nothing like that. so yeah it was really tough. >> you know, in 2011. charlie hebdo was fire bombed. several incidents. threats. editors, cartoonists had
7:53 pm
security there. do you -- i am sure i know how you are going to answer this. should they have been more careful? >> i don't see how -- i don't know how -- >> it's like blaming the victims. >> exactly. they had an armed guard. i don't know what he had. when you have a bunch of guys show up. armed for war. what do you have -- i just don't know how. >> more careful in what they put out? >> more careful in what they put out? no. no. no. i mean -- cartoons are supposed to be offensive. and that's -- people roll with it. you look at a cartoon. you go that's offensive. you write a letter to the editor.
7:54 pm
it is really difficult for me to you know i have my own set of values and judgments that i, that i bring to bear mine own cartoons. but i, yeah i, i, they were doing, they believeden what they were doing. they had the a right to do it. >> i want to show you fellow cartoonists around the world responded very swiftly. we'll put it up. are you foolingeeling a strong sense of solidarity with" kgs charlie hebdo" does this inspire you to -- be more satirical? >> solidarity yeah. a tight-knit small community. there aren't too many political cartoonists. i don't think there is anything that could actually -- make make any of us feel like being less satirical. this is a moment of pause. you know? and you know some times political cartoons are funny.
7:55 pm
