northeast of paris at this hour in the middle hours of the night. thank you for joining us. our breaking news coverage continues with anderson. well good evening everyone. it's 8:00 in the east coast united states. 2 a.m. here in paris. many new developments even at this late hour in the pair of alleged killers, terrorists. two brothers suspected of murdering a dozen people here wednesday morning. here they are. said and che reef kouachi. both on the u.s. no fly list. one of whom may have trained with al qaeda in yemen. they are now the targets of a massive, massive manhunt involving tens of thousands of police and security personnel here in france. we've already seen a number of
5:01 pm
police operations just in the recent hours. the latest in a wooded area northeast of here. we're going to take you there. we also have seen the first photo from inside the offices of the weekly charlie hebdo. we want to warn you, it's not easy to look at. with that said this is what a part of the crime scene looked like in the wake of the killings wednesday morning. ten people as you know fatally wounded in those offices. blood strewn all about. papers mayhem. two others gunned down outside. today, the police started emerging from the raw shock of it all and all of france at noon i should say people started emerging from the raw shock of it all, frankly though police officers shocked as well. lost not only two police officers in this attack but a policewoman was also killed in the early morning hours today. we're going to have more on that. it's a separate investigation. but everyone here paused in france at noon for a moment of
5:02 pm
silence. subways stopped. cars pulled over on many streets. people just stood on sidewalks and there you heard the bells of the noter dame cathedral. >> reporter: released names of two in the attack. cherif kouachi and said kouachi. feared to be armed and dangerous. said's id was found in the getaway car. 8 a.m., a gunman in black and a bulletproof vest shoots and
5:03 pm
kills a policewoman in a paris suburb. a person later arrested. not known if the gunman is at large. not established a link with the attack at charlie hebdo. they are investigating it as a terror attack. >> we may be facing a new wave. it's probably not the end of a terror attack. we are ready to face it. we will fight. and fighting is ending this people getting them to jail. but also keeping our values. >> reporter: the two suspects from wednesday's massacre are believed to rob a gas station here in the town of veere veere kotare. armed, stole gas and food and drove off. nearby a local believes the suspects abandoned their car and escaped on foot. >> translator: there was a man who told me they apparently took their car and went through the forest. he said don't go through the forest go around to avoid
5:04 pm
running into them. >> reporter: law enforcement swarm in. france's prime minister raises the threat level to the highest possible. go in the area and focus on a heavily wooded section. it's forest larger than the size of paris. a lot of ground to cover for a manhunt. at 6:00 p.m. the minister announces nine people have been detained so far in the wake of wednesday's attack but the two brothers are still at large. and as thursday ends a moment of remembrance on this day of mourning. the light of the eiffel towerturntower turned off. elsewhere in france and europe people continue to gather expressing solidarity and defiance in the face of terror. incredible scenes of bravery we've seen just thousands, tens of thousands of people coming into the streets. as i said wanting to express
5:05 pm
solidarity and defiance on a day where there have been two police officers killed on wednesday, one police officer killed early today. back in washington president obama paid a call on the french embassy signing the condolence book expressing his solidarity with the french people. and of course in washington paris, and other major capitals the search continues for any possible connections that these brothers may have or and others may have to any organized terror group or large movements. we've seen a number of large signs already. we want to bring you up to date on the latest information. barbara starr and pamela brown with the news. first, barbara starr. one may have trained in yemen with al qaeda. what's the most you know about this? >> reporter: two u.s. officials tell us they have information from french authorities that said kouachi, the older brother, traveled to yemen in 2011.
5:06 pm
he affiliated himself with aqap very dangerous al qaeda affiliate in yemen. that is a group that's tried to attack the united states before and had the french magazine in its cross hairs. now, what officials are trying to determine is how long did he stay there, who exactly did he meet what kind of training he got and when he left yemen, where did he go? the big concern, of course you know is this an attack that may indicate al qaeda has other sleeper cells out there? people that they may have trained years ago who went back home who may be planning additional attacks. anderson? >> the other question about that particular trip to yemen is there's two options. one, that he was there. the plot was hatched there. the plan was hatched there. and he was sort of given this as an operation to undertake, or he got training there, came back here and hatched the plan with
5:07 pm
whatever other conspirators he was working with. >> you know i think that's a really key question. people talk all the time. is it an attack inspired by some terrorist group or directed ordered up by a terrorist group? and what officials are saying is you know at some point, it may not much matter in a broader sense. you're seeing these days a lot of mixed loyalties, people affiliating themselves at different times with different groups in different countries. there is isis there is al qaeda corp., there is al qaeda in yemen. people have mixed loyalties and mixed affiliations. this may be the new world of terrorism where all possibilities have been considered but the bottom line has to be catching these people and of course making sure there's no one else out there. >> and barbara, there have been some reports about one of them taking a possible trip to syria. do you know more on that? >> well that's really
5:08 pm
interesting. getting to what we're talking about, there are media reports and other reports that at least one of the brothers and the french looked into this as well traveled to syria at some point. what u.s. officials are telling me is they don't have enough information to confirm any of that at this point. they just simply don't know. they don't see data yet to confirm it. it raises the question whether if it happened was there also an affiliation of loyalty, perhaps, to isis to the old al qaeda in iraq group that became isis? again, the notion that many jihadis these days they have mixed loyalties. there may be blended threats out there. everybody may need to think about all of this in a much different fashion, anderson. >> we do know, however, that the younger brother was sentenced and convicted in a french court of attempting to travel ultimately to iraq through syria. but that is separate than the idea of a possible trip to syria more recently so a lot we're still trying to figure out.
5:09 pm
barbara starr, thank you. pamela brown and what she has been learning now. these brothers were on the radar of u.s. intelligence agencies correct? >> that's right, anderson. u.s. law enforcement sources say french intelligence shared information about the brothers said they had been on the u.s. radar and in the thai database which lists known or, you know international terrorists. in fact we've learned from sources, anderson that the brothers had actually been on the u.s. no-fly list for years. it's unclear, exactly, what prompted that but of course you know logic would tell you that it could have something to do with the arrest of one of the brothers for allegedly wanting to join jihadists overseas and then of course as we learned the other brother traveling to yemen in 2011 and training with aqap anderson. >> what steps are you hearing about from u.s. officials about them trying to prevent any kind of related attack or similar kind of attack in the united states? >> well, we know, anderson, as we speak, the intelligence agencies are scrubbing their
5:10 pm
databases and reevaluating high level targets here in the u.s. to see if there's connections to the brothers determining how these targets may be impacted by the paris attacks. and essentially, the officials are determining whether they should take any additional action by deploying more techniques or even reaching out to some of these targets and just to make this clear, some of these high level targets include americans who have come back to the u.s. from syria. sources say that number is more than a dozen and also anderson those americans who may have traveled to yemen and trained with aqap. in fact, officials are saying there's been a steady stream for years of americans going to train in yemen and in light of the fact one of the paris suspects trained in yemen, of course that's something u.s. officials are especially concerned about. >> yeah. all right, pamela appreciate the update. luke ereman is production of agency in the same building as charlie hebdo offices. arrived at the office 30 minutes of the shooting. thank you very much for being with us.
5:11 pm
we talked to one of your employees, martin who took the now world famous video from the roof just a few blocks from where we standing. explain when your employers realized something was going on. >> they heard heavy fire automatic rifle and immediately understood that the target was charlie hebdo right on the same floor next door on our floor. >> so just a few feet away. >> right there. death was behind the door for our team. luckily, no one was injured. they concealed the door. they weren't on the roof. they started filming some of the pictures and two of our reporters were the first to get in. after the gun men left the areas, two of our reporters were the first to get in. the newsroom of charlie hb doe. you've seen dramatic picture that was at the beginning of your program. >> we asked to come in and help. >> they went themselves. >> they went in. >>| what's happening in there,
5:12 pm
they went in. there was still a lot of smoke and it's under shock. they described to me horrific scene of people with shots in their head. a lot of blood and very few wounded people that they started helping at the time when the police and emergency services arrived. >> it's just remarkable. that they were so close. they had moved into the office relatively recently what i think six months ago. >> right before the summer in june and to be honest with you, we were excited to have charlie hebdo. interesting building with journalism and interesting, we would joke about the fact that there could be a fear. we talked with them. >> you weren't afraid about it. >> we joked about it because they joked about it. it was their way to cope and react with the thing and the fear the threat. there was some police car from time to time in front of the building not the recent weeks. >> so in the recent weeks, you
5:13 pm
hadn't seen a permanent police presence? >> no. there was a car everyday in front of the door but not after september. >> incredible, i don't know, coincidence or part of this you actually investigated one of these suspects one of the suspected terrorists now, one of these brothers years ago. >> yes, in 2005. i made a documentary, a long investigation on the cell. a very small cell of young french men, french nationals in their early 20s and cherif the younger brother, was part of this cell and when i investigated the cell there were young guys who had very little religious background who decided to go to iraq via syria. >> this was 2005. >> 2004 and 2005. some of them died or were arrested in iraq by american
5:14 pm
forces and cherif at the time of my investigation, was in jail because he was arrested by the french authorities at french airport as he was on his way to syria. >> he was going to try to fly to syria in order to get into iraq. >> exactly. he was sentenced to three years in prison and at the time when i met his lawyer he said that he was about 22 23. he said quote, i'm happy that they stuffed me. that the police voided the fact that i could go to syria and eventually leave iraq. he did three years in jail. >> so his lawyer back then was claiming that cherif the suspect in this killing, was actually happy that he had been stopped by police because he was, what having doubts about going to fight in iraq? >> doubts fear is what he told me. he was under the influence of so-called preacher that was feeding him these bad ideas. so the lawyer it was part of the defense process also trying to minimize totally his involvement.
5:15 pm
>> the new york times, i believe, reported based on what they said are court documents saying that cherif originally wanted to target jewish targets in paris, but this preacher, this radical cleric convinced him this was not the place for the jihad back in 2004 or 2005 in iraq. >> that's exactly right. the preacher's name is fahid, never left france. sentenced to jail. told him, no targets in france. specific. no targets in france. you have to go to iraq. >> if he is in fact one of the perpetrators perpetrators clearly, went back to the original idea of targeting places in france. >> on this terrible pressure under the freedom of speech in the broad of paris broad daylight yesterday morning. >> yes. extraordinary, thank you, luke for talking with us. more on wo these alleged killers are. we are learning pieces of information, pieces of the puzzle. what they were doing before

5:19 pm
princess cruises. come back new. welcome back. we are live in paris. as we reported the top of the hour the two suspects are focused in part at least on this wooded area. at least 45 minutes northeast of where i am. there are reports they've been spotted by helicopter. atika shubert joining us now. you've seen helicopters in the last hour or so in the wooded area. what have you seen and how confident are authorities that the suspects are actually there? >> reporter: well we have seen helicopters circling throughout the day and possibly into the night using thermal imaging to scour the woods in this area. it's a huge area to cover.
5:20 pm
we're talking about thousands of acres. just a few hours ago, it seemed as the net was closing in on the two suspects. we saw a ramped up police presence with heavy tactical units, heavily armed s.w.a.t. teams really going into the village. just about four kilometers behind me. they went in with house to house searches, looking at farmhouses. telling rez denlts to stay inside. so far, no indication that the suspects have in fact been found. so they may have widened the search area to the forest nearby. if that's the case it's going to be very hard to search in that area. as you can see, things are quite quiet now. we saw a large police convoy go a couple hours ago with a number of tactical units with what appear to be forensic teams. so it looks as though for now, the police operation has been sort of suspended overnight. they will likely resume tomorrow morning. there are still, however, helicopters in the area that we have seen looking and, of
5:21 pm
course there are the checkpoints still on the various roads here. so they're keeping a watch, but it does seem for now that it's quite possible a second night goes by and still no suspects to be found, anderson. >> right. i mean if they're in this forest this forest is larger than the city of paris itself. it's a huge area to try to cover and probably a difficult area to try to survive in. particularly in this cold unless you've prepositioned some sort of supplies. how far is it? do we know where these two brothers live and if so, how far is this area from where they live? i'm trying to get a sense of how familiar they may be with this area. >> reporter: they could be quite familiar with this area because, remember it all started with the id card that was found in the first vehicle they used the black sitron. that identified said kouachi and then went to his apartment which was in hanz about 45 minutes
5:22 pm
from here. so relatively close by and in the area. they raided his apartment, took whatever evidence they could. we actually saw the forensics teams there and spoke to you from outside of his apartment last night. and then we had the gas station sighting at 10:30 this morning. the gas attendant said he was held up by the two. they took fuel food and were heavily armed and sped away. that's about 12 kilometers from where i'm standing. they may well know this area but why haven't they traveled further and where are they beginning? they might use back roads to avoid any police, any photographs at toll roads, toll stations for example, and just to point out, we are quite close to the belgium border here. it may be they are trying to cross into the border but we just don't know at this point where they're headed or where they may even be trying to hiding if they know this area as well. >> yeah. and i guess that's one of the questions that law enforcement may not be able to learn the
5:23 pm
answer to until they've actually really forensically examined the material they took from that apartment. but how much of this was part of the plan or is this now just kind of an ad hoc operation stealing vehicles, stealing gas where they can and kind of go minute to minute? we'll learn more obviously in the hours and days ago. atika shubert, thank you. i'm here with chief international correspondent. the fact this manhunt, this is the largest manhunt i've ever heard of in france at least in recent history. >> it is. the justice minister said it is her job is to deploy and make available all of these facilities and these personnel which has happened. the foreign minister said this is the worst attack that's taken place in france in 50 years and it is a real shock to the system of this nation. and they are, they say, determined to pursue these to the ends and i asked the justice minister look these people are moving towards the borders. do you think they'll be able to
5:24 pm
pass the borders? still in france as we've been discussing with atika and she feels confident that they have the cooperation with allies and neighbors around to make sure they don't cross the borders but at this point, who really knows? >> and it's one thing to survive hiding out in an apartment somewhere, to be in a forest unless you have supplies unless you're used to being in that kind of environment, in that kind of cold and these temperatures it's rough going. >> as you and i were discussing earlier, if you don't have enough money to buy a sandwich at a gas station, how long are you going to be hide out in these temperatures if indeed it is those two suspects the gas station spotted there. so yes, it does seem i mean we were talking about this almost 90,000 police officers involved in this search but military personnel. seeing military in a airport to respond to a domestic situation. it feels odd and a bit surreal,
5:25 pm
especially when we see the video of what transpired here. >> last month, france's prime minister said france never faced such a dire threat. >> well that is absolutely right and just go back a few months and the whole of europe is being on this alert since the rise of isis. that was the last big, you know, terror alert to us that we've had and they've all been really terrified, particularly france. why? france is unfortunately in a situation unlike other european neighbors whereby it has so many muslims but so many more of its individuals gone over there. that is a lot of people. a thousand one official quoted saying today, they are so many and we are so few in trying to figure them out. the justice ministry again said they one of kouachi brothers was under surveillance by the french state just until this summer. so they've had it in the process. >> the problem with this sheer number of people who have gone
5:26 pm
or may be planning to go fight in syria or yemen or elsewhere, just the resources needed to actually monitor them around the clock would be overwhelming. >> and it's not just the resources to monitor them but it's the resources to protect potential targets. we know there was a policeman here parked for several months outside of charlie hebdo that several weeks ago, that security, that surveillance operation was downgraded to just a security detail of the editor who sadly was among the 12 murdered. so it is a question of resources, of surveillance of policing of protection. but also it's going to have to be a national conversation in this country. a national conversation directed at the muslim community of how you go about solving the issue, not just with law enforcement, but with outreach. that's going to have to be part of it too. >> to that end, they've had, as you've seen so many people come out on to the streets. they are really fighting back in this country. they're not lying down and taking it. people are not afraid. they're saying it in any which
5:27 pm
way they can. they have another huge rally planned for sunday but all the imams are being asked today, friday 2:00 a.m. on friday here friday prayers today and being asked to condemn this in the most strong terms in friday's prayers. we've seen big islamic leaders from egypt to all around the world condemning this. >> it's one thing to say you're not afraid and we talked about this last night but i think it bears repeating, it's another thing to come out when there's still a manhunt going on when another police officer was killed just this morning, that person may be still on the loose. one arrest made today, we don't know if that arrest has any direct connection but to come out and be in a public space with tens of thousands of other people that's a prime terror target but to do that in the face of that and say i'm not afraid to do that to do that because of that real terror threat is an act.
5:28 pm
>> the foreign minister was so incredibly poignant when he said to me today, look this is a new thing. they are attacking the freedom. they are attacking france and because of what france is. we are the bas chan of freedom and democracy in the new world. but there is no democracy without freedom. there is no freedom without freedom of the press. these are very profound words. this is the heart of what has happened here. >> and we continue to see people and you see the images. just the sheer volumes of people tens of thousands in amsterdam as well and holding up pens. >> i was stopped by a woman. we were filming earlier and just came up to me and say, tell them we're not afraid. she wanted the world to hear through our reporters. >> christiane, thank you. holla as well. remarkable occurrences. we've seen so much of the outpouring of solidarity throughout the day and the night as this manhunt continues. you can find a whole lot more at
5:29 pm
cnn.com. ahead, more on the search for the suspects and the answers, u.s. officials report say one of brothers may have trained in yemen with al qaeda. more on the suspects next. i've smoked a lot and quit a lot but ended up nowhere. now...i use this. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. how could a luminous protein in jellyfish impact life expectancy in the u.s., real estate in hong kong and the optics industry in germany? at t. rowe price we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 70% of our mutual funds beat
5:30 pm
5:32 pm
we are live now in paris a little bit after 2:30 a.m. here in paris. this massive manhunt still under way. i want to show you, give you a sense of where we are. we're just about two blocks or so from the offices of charlie hebdo. this entire area has now been cordened off. if you look behind me you can see one of the makeshift memorials that's sprung up in the area. this is close as civilians can get unless you have a reason to be near the offices. this is so people have been depositing candles and flowers and photographs and cartoons pens and pencils. they have been coming throughout the day. this is just sprung up naturally. it started with one of two people coming bringing flowers, lighting candles and it has grown and now spreading out throughout this whole area and
5:33 pm
we have seen thousands of people really filtering in and out of here throughout the day and even now, early in the early morning hours in a very cold early morning hours. you still have some people coming to pay their respects. in the meantime a short drive out of town helicopters have been searching the woods, looking for the suspects. they are, as we been learning tonight, two men with a past. they were known to authorities here and in the united states. i want to look more now at the picture that's emerging from our jim sciutto. >> reporter: cherif kouachi looks carefree wrapping in this documentary. a far cry from his current predicament as heavily armed police comb the country side outside of paris, looking for cherif and his older brother, said. they are the men authorities allege are behind paris's worst terror attack in decades. their alleged involvement shocks their neighbors. >> translator: he left here for a year and a half.
5:34 pm
he used to leave in the morning and we never saw him. but if he really did that it's disgusting because what we saw last night truly, we cried. >> reporter: french reports say cherif 32 and said were orphaned at a young age. both with a radicalized past and drew the attention of french authorities. >> translator: soon the identity of the suspects was known. where they might flee to. they were placed under surveillance. >> reporter: a former counterterror official tells cnn they were under surveillance but the surveillance stopped in part because there is simply too many suspected jihadis in france. the younger cherif spent time in jail for his links to terrorism. in 2005 arrested before traveling to syria. a plan that would have taken him to fight against u.s. and coalition troops in iraq. today, the mosque where they worshipped is torn down. french reports say here he met
5:35 pm
a man that would teach him to use a kalishnakof and train in a local park. sentenced to three years in 2008 for recruiting jihadis to fight in iraq. cherif's former lawyer claims he was not an extremist. >> translator: he was like a lot of young people. he just had a job that provided him money for an interesting lifestyle. when he got out of custody, he found a job, he got married and when he arrived in 2008 he seemed to be getting back on the right path. >> reporter: much less known about the elder kouachi brother, said who seems to have a lower profile. >> translator: said kouachi lived in france. he was unemployed. and was never condemned or accused, but he appeared in the periphery of some of his investigations. >> reporter: largely in the periphery until leaving his id in the getaway car and tipping off authorities as to who the
5:36 pm
gunman might be. >> translator: it was a mistake. a single mistake. >> reporter: jim sciutto joins me now. obviously, it's an important mistake for law enforcement. you know the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together on some of these guys' past. do we know how closely they were observed by french intelligence officials. >> closely but it stopped. i spoke with in charge of counterterror. i asked why, he said there's too many suspected jihadis and too few of us. he gave me a sense of the numbers. 5,000 known or suspected terrorists in france today. >> 5,000. >> 5,000. >> the number of those who may have gone to syria or elsewhere. >> in the hundreds. >> or thousand. >> this goes beyond that. someone who never went there, still considered suspected jihadis or people interested. >> so they have a system.
5:37 pm
there's tier one people. those people are sort of around the clock surveillance but others fall below that. >> and they have to make adjustment calls. it takes three to ten officers to keep one suspect under surveillance. so you can't possibly do all 5,000. that would take tens of thousands. so they make adjustment calljudgment calls. sometimes, they get the judgments right and in fact they foil a number of plots just in recent weeks. clearly, they got this wrong. you have french and also u.s. authorities going back over the people on their watch list to see, did we make a bad call here? do we have to put them back on? >> thank you, jim sciutto. good information. we want to bring in french terrorism expert author of zakawi and fbi counterterrorism official phillip mudd. let me start with you if i can. i know you have sources, there's been some reports perhaps one of the brothers traveled to syria. we know a french official told
5:38 pm
u.s. officials the elder brother is believed to have traveled to yemen or received some training. what are you hearing from your sources? >> from my sources, i hear that cherif kouachi -- >> the younger. >> the younger brother, traveling since 2014 to syria. >> that recently? 2014. >> 2014. in france. >> we have not been able to confirm this based on your sources, but do we know what groups he was working with or what he was doing? >> they're currently investigating the specific issue traveling. >> how closely can french officials monitor the international movements of people from here? in the united states there's the benefit anybody leaving from an airport, it's a lot easier to track. here the borders you can go to other countries in europe. >> essentially, through intelligence. they're collecting information. social networks.
5:39 pm
telephones. and also information and these both syria and iraq. they were heard by judges for example. testify and they can target them on specific individuals. combatting with. >> phil, in terms of french intelligence and french law enforcement, is very well known for ability, their knowledge of local communities, their ability to find out what is going on. if a country like france cannot keep up with the sheer volume of people who that that i have suspects what does that mean for the rest of the western europe? >> look all of these countries have the same problem. and it's a volume problem. when you look at this case in isolation, you're going to ask a question. as anybody would. if somebody travels to syria, if
5:40 pm
somebody travels to yemen, if they're jihadists in the past why can't you keep up with them? the answer anderson is simple. i think there's too much hay zins here about what surveillance is. i've been there and let me tell you. if you want to get serious about somebody there's a spectrum. see if there's a changed address, put them on a watch list to see if they've traveled. go to the human surveillance of somebody putting rolling teams on people. that is incredibly labor intensive. in between that you have things like internet e-mail and phone surveillance. the volume of people you see and i agree what was mentioned earlier about the numbers, 5,000, for example, is simply too great. we had the same issue with the fbi. you've got to make the same decision everyday. capability and intent. does somebody have the capability to do thing? the intent to do something? do they want to take an action? everybody you take somebody off the list and add someone on the
5:41 pm
list. with those numbers statistically, sometimes you're going to make a mistake. >> and jean-charles i suppose the fact that these two brothers and according to we have information and you have this information about one of them traveling to syria and we haven't been able to confirm it the idea that they have traveled so theoretically, they've gained some sort of military capabilities the ability to use weaponry -- >> this explains how they were conducting such an attack the ability that they needed. >> the question though remains whether a group, if they worked with a group whether it be in syria or in yemen, whether that group -- >> directed them. >> directed them or tas kd them training looking for targets or inspired with a magazine and decided, go after charlie hebdo? >> the investigation will look at that. whether directed by the group or acted on their own. yes. >> how critical phil do you
5:42 pm
think that information is? even if they weren't directed by this group, the fact that they could be self-starters, you know get a couple of people together form a cell and choose to act this out, that's the kind of operation that can be repeated and copy catted in in place around the world. >> sure. this story is changing hugely in the past 12 to 24 hours. this foreign connection in my old world is huge for the following reason. first, when they travel over there, you've got to signal that there's a bigger conspiracy afoot. who paid for the ticket? who introduced them for the trainers in yemen or syria? who got them the travel room to get in there without signaling french authorities? who else is taking that route? that's number one. all of the sudden the investigation is much more complex, but there's a bigger question anderson that i'd be asking tonight. that is if they took this route, the chance or if one of them took a route into a place like syria or yemen, the chance
5:43 pm
