and rescue personnel into northern iraq. this after news of the united arab emirates dropped out of coalition air strikes in isis out of concern for any of their pilots who may go down. breaking news of the shadowy woman, widow of paris super market killer amedy kool baaly. appeared in istanbul, thought to go to syria. there's a new video that isis features that may resemble the paris terror widow. joining us now is pamela brown. we're not going to show the video. what are your sources telling you, could this actually be her? >> reporter: the source is telling us that french investigators are looking into that very possibility that the woman seen here wearing a camouflage could be hayat booum
6:02 pm
dean, fled to syria and to isis and the belief is that want to verify it's her. we did an amateur analysis and closely side by side, the female fighter does not appear to look like boumeddiene. of course, french investigators are better equipped than we are to do that, anderson. >> there's certainly no shortage of women from what we heard going to fight or to link up with isis. >> reporter: that's right. it's not uncommon at all but there are these isis female fighters like the one in the picture. i spoke about this issue with the head of the fbi counterterrorism official, michael steinbach, and said the recruitment is more than we've ever seen by a foreign terrorist
6:03 pm
organization. there's a deliberate focus by isis to recruit women, from female fighters to brides for isis militants. even though american women wanting to join is a minority compared to the u.s., much higher and in cases, a false narrative of what it's like in syria to lure women to come over when we know a lot of them are raped, sold, or even die on the battlefield. >> pamela brown, thank you very much. jordan and the latest from joma jomana caaradsheh. >> reporter: retaliation with isis as they were saying and officials now saying jordan wants to increase the air
6:04 pm
strikes it is carrying out as part of its coalition missions. now the number of these air strikes is going to depend on a number of factors including weather and the location of these targets. we have heard from the jordanian government, jordanian officials have said and promised an earth-shaking response. we also heard king abdullah today reiterate that message saying that their response is going to be harsh and this is something many here in jordan are telling us they want to see. this country not everyone was really united. people had mixed feelings about jordan's participation in that coalition against isis, but today, anderson, talking to people on the streets, more and more jordanians seem to be rallying around the king, rallying around the government and they want to see that harsh military response against isis that the government is promising. >> are you hearing a lot of support for the executions which took place of the two jihadists
6:05 pm
including the would-be female suicide bomber that tried to take place in the 2005 suicide attacks in imam? >> reporter: we've heard from a lot of people today, this should be just the beginning of this revenge by the jordanian government, by the king here for the brutal killing of the pilot muath al kaseasbeh, who felt it was personal for them. he was seen as a national hero. we also heard jordanians saying they want to see more executions of isis. as you know, jordan does have a number of jihadis, a big number of gee jihadists in jail. not clear how many are on death row for terrorism charges, but really, the feeling here is that they want to see more of this and we heard from the father of the jordanian pilot, anderson,
6:06 pm
saying that these criminals are not, he called them criminals saying that they do not compare to his son and that his revenge should be greater than the execution of prisoners. >> jomana, i appreciate the reporting tonight. digging deeper now what could be gleamed from the murder video on the state of isis. whether it's on the rise or signals maybe the organization is declining. joining us is ali soufan, former fbi counterterrorism, special agent and interrogator. you know, this video, i stopped watching these execution videos a long time ago but i watched this one because it's different in a lot of ways. is it geared solely toward trying to get new recruits? because everyone is talking about how this may have a backfired, ignited many people throughout the muslim world against isis but do they really care? >> no, they don't. it is geared, this level of brutality is geared internally, to the people that they still have in the organization.
6:07 pm
isis has been suffering a lot of losses. >> they've actually been hurt? >> oh, yeah. absolutely. the loss of kucou kobani and 30e towns around kobani. joining al qaeda, affiliates rather than joining isis. >> so recruiting is their number one priority. >> recruiting is their number one priority. they suffered losses not only in syria but in iraq. in iraq, they see more tribes working with the government to fight isis. they lost diali totally. they are having problems in ambar and so forth. they're taking brutality to a new level the hope of a short-term overreaction with a hope of a shock and awe because if they survive the shock and awe, they can tell all these crazy jihadis around the world, we are in a fight against the
6:08 pm
crusade. we are in the fight against infidels and it is your religious duty to come and fight for the sake of the islamic state. >> more world leaders talk about isis, the more world leaders make it, that it's an even playing field between isis, as almost a state actor that plays into isis' hands, you're saying. >> it plays into isis' hands if we do that but we have been doing that, we're developing the strategy with the air strikes, with finding people on the ground, to have coalitions against isis, sunni tribes in iraq. kurds in syria, different affiliates of the syrian army and different opposition groups in syria. when you're trying, when you're having that and these individuals and these groups start gaining the ground, in syria and in iraq, well, the air strikes it's killing isis, killing their soldiers, killing their best leaders without giving them the theater, without
6:09 pm
giving them the show. they are giving them, the only thing that's happening is they are being killed in a battle where they cannot show anything for it, to incite people and to recruit people, but at the same time, what they are focusing on is focusing on giving the fighters that they have a sense of revenge. what they are focusing on is catering to the most radical elements of the group. they are focusing on trying to have a short-term overreaction by the international community so they can actually showcase it, the islamic state and the a kalifa is under attack. the air strikes, the long-term strategy in killing them with a thousand cut in bleeding them to death is bothering the heck out of them. >> i mean, that's what terroris. an overreaction. of a weak group, they're trying to poke to get an overreaction which plays into their hands.
6:10 pm
>> that's exactly what isis is trying to do now. they suffered a lot of losses in many different areas and they suffered achlt losses, especially especially with topnotch fighters in kobani. it was their stalin grad and they lost. >> even if isis is defeated or numbers deflepleteddepleted, ir the battlefield, another group can pop up. this is a long-term, people call it the long war. this is a long-term ideological struggle. >> you're 100% right. and even if we get rid of isis, the people who are going to win are the al qaeda affiliates. they believe in the same ideological system as isis. we need better cooperation, and i cannot believe i'm saying that 15 years almost after 9/11. not necessarily better cooperation within the agencies in the united states, but between the united states and our allies.
6:11 pm
for example, you have a lot of legal reasons that justify not sharing information about suspected foreign fighters and about suspected terrorists over there. so anyone can just take a ticket and come to the united states, or travel internally inside europe. so this issue needs to be dealt with. we need better information, internationally, to focus on this issue. >> ali soufan, always good to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. coming up, allegations that if true would change a lot what we know about al qaeda's 9/11 plot and who specifically financialsed the group. the allegation coming from this man, the question is, can he actually be believed? why do we do it? why do we spend every waking moment, thinking about people? why are we so committed to keeping you connected? why combine performance with a conscience? why innovate for a future without accidents? why do any of it? why do all of it? because if it matters to you, it's everything to us. the xc60 crossover. from volvo.

6:15 pm
because it was education and ability to speak english. members of the royal saudi family including al faisl and ban dar bin sultan. he carried letters between osama bin laden and the royal family including prince turkey. court statements by three members of the 9/11 commission, former secretary of the navy, john laymen and bob kerry, though they do not endorse the specific allegations, their statements argue further investigation of saudi involvement is necessary. >> i don't know if it's certain there was an involvement. i know for certain there's plenty of smoke and guns lying around the room and this happens to be the latest one. both the congress and the administration need to follow
6:16 pm
this up. this is an extraordinary interview. the content is important. >> reporter: that assessment is, however, far from unanimous. robert jordan served as u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia from 2001 to 2003. it was directly involved in the investigation of the attacks. >> a lot of it was my own questioning, are you sure, have you made certain that none of the people we're dealing with now at the senior lefrl had anything to do with the attacks? i was routinely and universally given the information that they felt comfortable that at least at the senior level hadn't. >> reporter: throughout, been consistent questions about masowi's mental health and changing story, including pleading guilty to conspireing to kill americans and then reversing himself. the 9/11 report said the commission, quote, found no evidence the saudi government as institution or senior saudi officials individually funded al qaeda. by cnn for comment in washington
6:17 pm
said, quote, there's no evidence to support masowi's claim. it's been the most intensely investigated crime and the findings show no involvement by the saudi government. beyond alleged work on the donor database, masowi said he was involved in a series of plots against u.s. targets and specifically given explosives training to attack the u.s. embassy in london with a truck bomb among other plots he claimed. i spoke with another member of the 9/11 coalition and 9/11 report exonerating saudi arabia and said the commission never claimed to give the final word on saudi involvement and the sentence was written in his words, very carefully, to allow for the remaining questions. jim sciutto, cnn, washington. >> it's been a big question. how much credence to give on what's sensational allegations, joining me, cnn security analyst. you say you don't buy it.
6:18 pm
>> i don't buy it partly because masowi had a history of mental problems, well documented and makes no sense. saudi government officials were funding al qaeda in the late '90s. already, the saudi government had pushed bin laden out of saudi arabia in 1990 and overthrown the government. why the saudi government senior officials funding somebody knows trying to attack them? doesn't make sense, anderson. >> you know one of the princes masowi said was the primary point of contact and doesn't add up. >> prince turkey is well known in washington, was the ambassador here and i met him socially a few occasions. the idea, he went to public boarding school in lawrenceville, new jersey. you know, he's a friend of the united states. the whole idea he'd be meeting with masowi, funding al qaeda, it doesn't pass the smell test, anderson. this is made up out of whole cloth. >> the claim that saudi arabia
6:19 pm
was funding al qaeda and there's no evidence of it. >> the 170,000 interviews in the course of the 9/11 investigation, there were 500,000, 600,000 leads we followed. the most intensely investigated crime in human history and we found no evidence. it's impossible to prove negatives but no claims that masowi is now making. >> a group that's against the regime in saudi arabia, this is one part, one way for a guy who's stuck in prison the rest of his life to try to strike out at saudi arabia. >> or maybe get attention. it's hard to discern his motives but everybody who reported on this story pointed out that he's been diagnosed with some psychotic issues. i don't put any faith in what he said. >> peter bergen, appreciate the update. plane crash caught on terrifying video, may day call before the plane hit the bridge, plunged into the river, killed at least 31 people. what we now know about the final moments next. next.

turbo prop either gliding or falling from the sky narrowly missing apartment buildings before sliding a bridge and hit part of the window. part of the wing hit the car on the bridge and the driver amazingly survived the encounter, so did others if the turbo prop had not hit the water. 31 people known to have died and a number of people remaining missing. survivors, and pulled out the cockpit voice record aernsd each may have a lot to tell. air traffic control got a call from the plane shortly before the crash and some of the final words were may day, may day, engine flameout. later today, the pilot of a similar airliner thinks it's gliding and under control until the left wing dipped and the plane fell to earth. aviation correspondent richard quest and crash investigator david soucie. all right. let's take a look here on the magic wall. just walk us through the video of what exactly we're seeing.
6:25 pm
>> so two particular angles at the moment start with the close-up. and here, you basically see the aircraft coming overhead and it's the dramatic turn, if you like, and crashing into the bridge. but if you look at it from a slightly different angle, if you take this particular picture and you see something quite different. you see it in a different angle because here you see the plane, if you come straight in, you see the plane and at that point, it's pretty straight and on a downward trajectory, but it is still moving with the wings both levelled. it's at this point that the left wing appears to stall and stall very badly and dramatically when there's very little height to the ground and that, of course, is there. some would suggest, was the pilot trying to avoid these buildings? i think if you look quite clearly, this is not the case. it's an aircraft, it's extremist. it's going straight down, going straight into the water.
6:26 pm
>> david soucie, obviously, it's too early to be sure but from the videos, the turn toward the river, you think that was intentional? >> i think, richard, i've flown out of taipei. i'm sure you have as well and you know all the apartments there and you follow the river out to protect from noise pollution over the apartments, so you follow the river just a little bit and you can see there too that as it clears, the apartments, may be a bit of an optical illusion over the apartments but i believe he was trying to make the left turn but i think importantly too if you look at that point in the video you can see that that left prop, i don't think it's feathered. it looks as though it might be feathered. >> when you say feathered, what does that mean? >> when the engine stops producing thrust, the propeller is automatically going from an angle like this to the air flow that allows no wind resistance, however, if the auto feather switch, which is the last thing you do before you take off, if that hasn't been turned to the
6:27 pm
on position, then the engine fails and basically have a 12 foot in diameter piece of wood out there just preventing the left wing from flying and i think that that might give us a clue there. i'm anxious to see what the black boxes will tell us because that information is in the black box. >> but rich, if a plane loses one engine, it should be able to fly, shouldn't it? >> absolutely and this is the conundrum with this one because we know the plane took off, it got to about 1300 feet. about five miles from the airfield and we get this may day call, may day, may day, engine flameout. at that point, remember, this is something pilots practice more than anything else. losing an engine on takeoff. it is the single most practiced thing, but then watch again the video here. this is what david soucie is talking about. the plane makes this approach. he's clearly gliding at this point. losing altitude. and this turn, was it deliberate or was it the result of
6:28 pm
aerodynamic forces? was this propeller giving any form of lift or was it now as david soucie just said, was it that big block that was basically killing the lift from the wing at the time? >> david, to richard's point, what kind of training do pilots go through to learn how to deal with a situation where a plane loses an engine? >> it's very rigorous. in fact, there's several accidents i've looked at when they go off and the pilot didn't realize the engine, remember, although it's on the wings they have a center line of thrust so you lose one engine as long as it properly feathers, it's moving straight ahead forward so the pilot really has a hard time sometimes in the modern aircraft determining which engine failed. so the process is to pull back the throttle on the engine that failed. they practiced these things, pulled back the power on the wrong engine and caused the aircraft. of course, no passengers on board, thankfully. >> unbelievable to see this.
6:29 pm
>> yeah, the final thing i say is that this is how every aircraft comes out of the sky in an accident. the extraordinary part about it is that we're seeing it in realtime. but never forget what you're looking there, of course, is a death. >> richard quest, appreciate you being with us. david soucie as well. the deadly train crash outside of new york city. killing six people, injuring 15 others. this was the scene last night in valhalla. tonight, eight people still hospitalized, one in critical condition and today workers remove the wreckage of the suv. investigators aren't sure why it stopped on the tracks as the train was approaching, one mystery in what's likely to be a lengthy nvgts. tonight, there's also questions about the guidance that trapped passengers in the moments after the crash. you would think maybe a lot of instructions, they didn't. rene marsh joins me now. what's the latest?
6:30 pm
where exactly does the investigation stand? >> reporter: well, at this point, anderson, they've gone through the process of visually documenting the scene. you mentioned that the wreckage from the suv has been removed, the train has also been removed as well. you may see some sparks behind me from time to time. we know that crews are on the scene there trying to repair the tracks. they now have the recorders so the process is to interview people who are on board, interview the train's crew. that could start happening as soon as tomorrow. they're going to be looking at the information coming from these train recorders, the event recorders on board the trains. they'll be able to get information like how fast was the train traveling at the time, when were the brakes applied, were there any other mechanical issues going on with the train? they're also going to be focused on the signals in this area. as you know, vehicles are allowed to cross over the tracks
6:31 pm
but only once the traffic signals give them the green light, give them the okay. there are recorders on those signals, so investigators are also analyzing that to see were those signals functioning properly because tonight, at this hour, remains a mystery, no one knows or understands why that suv was stopped on the tracks, anderson. >> and some of the victims, i know they're being treated, any update on their condition? >> reporter: right. well, the conditions range from critical and some are in good condition. we know that the injuries range from lacerations, burns, also contusions. those sort of things. again, we have one person who is still in critical condition but there are some in better condition, again, at this point, we know eight people remain in the hospital, anderson. >> i know some died burned beyond recognition at this point. just horrific. rene marsh, appreciate the update. up next, the politicians

a hepatitis booster and with it, tweeted, ironic, i'm getting the booster vaccine. wonder how the liberal media reports this? ironically, it wasn't but the conservative wall street journal editorial page not for the vaccination he got yesterday but his response about vaccinating kids zbh i heard of many tragic cases of walking talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. i think they're a good thing but i think the parent should have some input. the state doesn't own your children. parents own the children and it is an issue of freedom. >> senator paul denied he was suggesting a link between vaccine and mental disorders saying i've heard of people who had vaccines and a temporal association and they believe that. decide for yourself what to make of it. the journal editorial board wasn't. rand paul joined the vaccine
6:37 pm
follies monday. as if freedom issue, have to avoid the libertarian dormitory passions if wants to be a credible candidate. and chris christie about vaccinating kids and leaving vaccine doubters and jenny mccarthy said the not so great measles debate of 2015 is one of the events that make us wonder if there's such a thing that human progress. we leave questions about the fate of humanity to the editorial pages but for weeks, some politicians who seem to have presidential ambitions quick to stake out positions on childhood vaccination. some of them senator paul and christie have been backing from positions they held a few hours before or getting vaccinated on twitter. including hillary clinton have been piling on, recently tweeted, quote, the science is clear, the earth is round, the sky is blue and #vaccineswork. best protect all of our kids. not so certain though telling autism advocacy group say we
6:38 pm
don't know what, if any, kind of link there is but we should find out. now we know. the science is clear at least to an overwhelming number of experts in the field. indiana congresswoman, dan b, remains a skeptic. i spoke to him earlier. >> during your time in congress, you were vocal about your link between vaccines given to kid and the alarming rise in autism rates and i know you repeatedly said mercury in vaccines is a contributing factor in autism. do you still believe that? >> well, first of all, i am for vaccinations. i think they're very important. the problem that we had and we had hearings over 3 years was we had scientists and doctors from around the world who said mercury is toxic and it shouldn't be included in vaccinations. and one of the reasons why we saw a rise in autism from about one in 10,000 to one in 80 because mercury was gathering in a person's brain and children
6:39 pm
had these mercury toxicities in every shot they were getting. >> but the type of mercury that you're talking about, i mean, thimerosal, is what was used in vaccines and inside that, in the thimerosal, there's ethyl mercury. some in the influn san and it was removed out of abundance of caution. there have been a number of studies proving thimerosal mercury had no risk to humans in vaccines. >> it was removed primarily because we raised so much about it in my hearings. >> but no scientific evidence for what you were saying. >> yes it was, you're incorrect. >> can you tell me a study? i've read many studies that said time and time again, it's been proven there's no correlation between -- >> no --
6:40 pm
>> thimerosal and autism. >> no disrespect intended, sir, but mercury is toxic to the human brain and neurological problems have been caused by mercury. and mercury should not be in vaccines. my grandson got nine shots in one day, seven of which had mercury and became autistic in a short period of time. we had scientists around the world. i'm for vaccinations. >> can you tell me the name of scientists who claim this because they go against what every study, cdc said this, the institutes of health, all the studies say you're just wrong. >> i'll be happy to provide those for you. i didn't bring them with me but i was chairman for six years. three years we had the hearings and we did have the studies and there's no question that many scientists around the world believe that the mercury in vaccinations is a contributing factor to neurological problems. now, listen, i'm for vaccinations, but we need to get the mercury out. >> are you against breast-feeding a child? >> of course not.
6:41 pm
>> but aware that methyl mercury is in breast milk given to children and the presence, if a child is only breast-fed, they get more methyl mercury than in any vaccines? >> let me say, i'm not an expert on breast-feeding. >> three years and nobody ever told you there's mercury in breast milk? >> we never talked about that. what we talked about was the vaccinations. mercury in vaccinations should not be there for adults or kmirn. >> the kind of mercury that was in vaccines, which is no longer there, is different than the kind of mercury you get from fish? correct? >> let me just tell you. >> are you aware of that? >> you'll find any type of mercury injected into the human body can cause neurological problem. >> do you know what kind of mercury is in fish? >> what are you talking about? >> well, there's different kinds of america ri. there's methyl mercury, that's
6:42 pm
not the mercury ever in vaccines. you are aware of that, correct? >> all i can tell you is if you talk to scientists around the world and look at the studies before the committee, you'll find they believe that mercury in vaccinations is a contributing factor to neurological problems including autism. we're for vaccinations. >> i know, you said that, but a 2010 study by the cdc showed no association between prenatal and infant exposure of vaccines with thimerosal and italian study showed with thimerosal does not increase psychological performance later in childhood. 2006, fda concluded no association between autism and vaccines after reviewing evidence by the institute of medicine. the list goes on and on back to 1999 when you were holding these studies. fda declared use of thimerosal in childhood vaccines with no harm and out of abundance of caution. they removed it.
6:43 pm
and the incidence of autism continues to rise. >> you're a bright young man but i don't know where you're getting your information. >> i researched. >> i did for three years and you haven't had the opportunity to do for three years. >> here's the cdc quote, no convincing harm except for minor reactions like redness, swelling at the injection site. i got a list of dozens of studies, i could spend a long time just reading them to you and i don't think it's going to make any difference. thousands of kids have been tested. >> i will tell you this. you did not tell me you wanted me to bring all the studies but since you're such an expert on these, i'll be very happy to provide you numerous studies that show mercury is toxic and shouldn't be in vaccinations. >> i appreciate your time and obviously it's a personal issue to you. i'm sorry, i understand your passion about it and a lot of parents who agree with you boun
6:44 pm
a scientific basis you have to admit that the preponderance of the evidence is not in your favor. >> i admire you, i watch you a lot on television but i think before you refer to these studies as being completely accurate, you better look at all the studies and not just the ones submitted to you. >> congressman, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. sanjay gupta now. what do you make of it? >> you brought up an important point. when it comes to thimerosal, mercury containing preservative in vaccines the try to preserve the vaccine, increase the shefl life, keep it free of contamination. it's a different type of mercury that typically raise concern. that is methyl mercury, as you said. thimerosal is broken down in the body known as ethyl mercury. aside from that, concerned about
6:45 pm
mercury no matter what shape or form it's in, there are long-term studies that looked at people who received vaccines that contained thimerosal at one point and followed these people for long periods of time and found no association between those vaccines and autism. >> right. and the studies from what i've read of them and spent a day doing this and many days before this, i mean, it involves tens of thousands, more than a hundred thousand children in multiple studies. it's not a small sampling. >> it's 1.2 million children in what's known as a meta analysis. all these different studies. what are called prospective studies, following people going forward, you have retrospective studies, following people going back in time and what's called case-controlled studies that compare different groups of people, and looked at all the data in aggregate to try to draw this conclusion.
6:46 pm
this meta analysis was last year and not equivocal. they said there's no association to a significant degree, no association between autism and vaccines. >> sanjay gupta, appreciate you being on. >> thauk. we had to edit just for time. you can see the full interview at ac360.com. lance armstrong caught in yet another lie. hit two parked cars after a night of partying in aspen but agreed to let his girlfriend take the blame to avoid national attention. hear the 9-1-1 call next.
