the working assumption is this is a lone wolf attack. they don't think he traveled somewhere else to get training overseas somewhere like syria and iraq. >> just when you see the imsimilarity between what happened with paris with more victims killed and the similarity of this attack of freedom of speech and then this attack on a jewish gathering whether at the supermarket or at the synagogue, it is incredibly troubling. thank you both for being with me. stand by we'll talk about this. 6:00 top of the hour sunday evening. a lot of news to get to. you're in the cnn "newsroom." i'm poppy harlow in new york. cnn has learned the fbi is assisting denmark as it tries to piece together a pair of deadly terror attacks in its capital. a body language -- a body lays rather in copenhagen in the streets there. you are looking at the aftermath of the shootout with police. this is the body of the terror suspect believed to be behind the attacks. it all started here inside of this now bullet-ridden cafe.

a crowd had gathered here for a free speech forum with an artist an artist on al qaeda's hit-list. this is when the gunman opened fire. >> why do we still say but when we -- [ shots fired ] >> well one person was killed in the attack three officers were wounded. it seems the deadly rampage had just begun. ten hours later it is believed that the same gunman made his way possibly by taxi to a nearby jewish synagogue approaching two officers there spraying them with bullets and their lives were spared but a bystander was killed. danish police say this gunman may have been inspired by last month's terror attack in paris and when you take a closer look there are similarities. in paris, a deadly shooting at the office of the satirical

magazine "charlie hebdo," cartoonists known for their controversial depictions of the prophet muhamed, and swedish artists who in 2007 drew a cartoon of the prophet muhamed as a dog, something they consider unclean. the target was the kosher grocery super mark. in denmark, it was a synagogue last night. let's go straight to nic robertson who joins us from copenhagen. what do we know from police about these two other arrests at a nearby cafe. i know those just happened today, i'm wondering if they believe they were all instrumental in this or if they still believe that the gunman was indeed working alone? >> well they believe that the gunman was working alone when it comes to perpetrating those two attacks on saturday and late in the early hours of sunday morning, but what they're concerned about is that he may have an accomplice or accomplices who were aware of

what he was going to do. the police are trying to build up a bigger picture and profile of who he was connected with. they said that they feel that he may have been inspired by those attacks in paris and by radical islamist propaganda so they're trying to build a bigger profile on him beyond what they know already, that he has connections with gangs in the past and criminal activity and owning weapons. they're trying to build a bigger picture and they're not saying precisely who these men were and they were arrested half a mile from here and this is the location where he was shot and killed in the early hours of this morning. poppy, it may surprise you to learn this but while we've been standing here in the last couple of hours there have been people coming up here and laying flowers and paying tribute and lighting candles to the suspect gunmen. some of them look like gang members and a journalist colleague spoke in danish to some of them and asked them if they knew him and they just said that they were shocked and

perhaps they had some of these gang connections that the police have talked about. others are people from the community here. disbelieving about what's happened and they feel that this will unfairly target their community and certainly a number of people coming along here to show their sympathy and apparent support for this suspect gunman poppy. >> wow! that is incredibly shocking and the most important thing in all of this is the victims, right, nic? what do we know about the victims? two people that were killed and then a handful of others that were injured. >> reporter: yeah. a young man at the synagogue. he was 37 years old. he was standing outside. a very -- a man who spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into his community working at the synagogue, we are told and he was standing outside because he was guarding the synagogue because a young girl was having a party and there were about 80 people there and he was the one who was shot and killed by this suspect gunman.

there were two policemen there, as well. the police had heightened security at the synagogue because of the attack earlier in the day and the person killed at the event for the freedom of speech earlier in the day he was a 55-year-old filmmaker, had an interest it seems, in freedom of speech. i'm reporting on some report he had reported on radical islamist activities here in denmark in the past but again, two innocents, two people in their communities going about innocent business gunned down by this -- by this suspect gunman poppy. >> absolutely. nic robertson, thank you very much. i appreciate it and let's talk more about this now with paul cruickshank, cnn terrorism analyst and co-author of "my life inside al qaeda." and peter author of "man hunt the ten-year search for bin

laden." peter, let me begin with you. all indications it is early going show that this is likely a lone wofrl acting right? not someone who went to the middle east who was trained by isis or al qaeda. what is your read on this thus far? >> that's what we know thus far, but there is other targets in copenhagen which have been cased by jihad i terrori terrorists in the past which is the best newspaper in denmark has been the subject of a serious plot of an american citizen who basically planned to do an attack who looked similar to the charlie hebdo attack which was an assault by gunmen. he was stopped, but if you visit the newspaper office in copenhagen today basically it's a fortress and i've been in touch with some of the journalists there and of course police are very concerned about that target and they've been concerned for a long time in the past. also the cartoonist who worked

there who did cartoons of the prophet muhammed he was the subject of a serious attack at his house. an armed man from somalia tried to kill him and luckily he had a safe house -- a safe room in his house and he was able to basically protect himself there. the story is not over in denmark and the danish embassy in pack pakistan was attacked by al qaeda. >> do you agree with that paul cruickshank, that this will be a per sisterent threat going forward and people seemingly living in peace and then this happens? it's quite scary given the similarity given what happened in paris and copenhagen. >> there's been a persistent terror threat to denmark ever since the cartoons were posted in the newspaper and he posted it in 2005. there was also a plot in 2010 by al qaeda central and they drove

all of the way to copenhagen with a machine gun and their plan was to kill up to 200 journalists that was thwarted by swedish and danish authorities. there have been several other plots besides. so there's been this persistent threat in denmark and a significant amount of radicalization and they've gone off to fight and half of them have returned and many of them have joined isis. they're very worried about this and very worried about the lone wolf style of terrorism, but what we understand now is that this was a gang member and somebody involved in violence before. he'd been convicted this dead gunman of attacking somebody on a commuter train with a knife. he'd spent some time in jail so it's possible that he was radicalized in jail but somebody one of these organized gangs in denmark would have perhaps had access to guns through that and some experience with guns and in denmark, particularly there is a real

intersection between these gangs and the jihadis. more than any other country. >> because this doesn't seem like a random gang attack. look at the similarities just in terms of targets to paris, right? >> absolutely. it seems to very much mirror that attack in paris with the attack on cartoonists and also a kosher market. >> jewish citizens. >> and jewish bar mitzvah this time being targeted. >> peter bergen to you, you wrote a fascinating article on cnn.com today talking about the fact that do not be mistaken and think that this is isolated to europe. talking about how the united states has had cartoonists like this before and you bring up the cartoonist molly norris who has been in hiding for the last four years. can you speak about that? >> molly norris is a seattle-based cartoonist and she around the time that south park showed a picture of the prophet muhamed she suggested that one way to basically dilute the threat was if everybody drew the prophet muhamed that it would be hard for jihadist militants to

go off to tens of thousands of people and this exceeded beyond her wildest expectations and you know suddenly she became a target of these jihadist militants as well and for the last four and a half years she's basically lived in hiding. she was advised by the fbi to go into hiding and she's not in the witness protection program and she did this from her own volition and we haven't heard anything from her. and her close colleagues and friends haven't heard from her, but the events in paris and now copenhagen seems she may have done something prude end which is disappeared because there is no statute of limitations on these threat it appears. >> peter bergen thank you very much. paul cruickshank, i appreciate it. isis is posting a mass killing of christians. men in orange jump suits forced to kneel down on the beach. the surf turns red with their blood and they're coptic christians recently kidnapped in

libya. cnn, of course is not showing this video, a jihadist statement in the video swears vengeance for the deaths of osama bin laden. isis isis-backed militants took control of the coastal town and right there you see it on the map. it was hometown to the late dictator moammar gadhafi. >> it is incredibly upsetting to see this and for a lot of people what it shows is that isis is clearly spreading far beyond iraq and syria. >> reporter: that's right, poppy, and if you look at this video, it is sending a very firm message to many parties. you have the christian community here in egypt. you have the egyptian government but also you have the european union and libya is on the doorsteps of the eu and in this message it was delivered in english and watching this video, these men taken on the

beach, executed all at the same time beforehand. you can see them saying oh god, oh jesus. the production quality of this video was very high which is very similar to that we've seen in iraq and syria. in this video they talk about their brethren and their isis brethren in the sinai peninsula. if you look at egypt, it really is sandwiched between libya where you have isis and now sinai, as well. they have been fighting that battle in the sinai for quite some time. hundreds of security personnel have been killed in that fight and libya there's been a political and security vacuum for quite some time since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi which was backed by the west and since then we haven't had a strong central government which has made fertile ground for these groups and isis in particular to expand and control. we also saw them last month carry out a very bold attack against a hotel in tripoli.

the cor inthia and this latest attack shows they have a firm presence in libya and they want to spread their violence and terrorism. >> a religious war being waged there with these 21 egyptian coptic christians murdered at the hands of isis in libya now. thank you very much for the latest on that. we appreciate it and we'll continue our discussion on this because egypt and libya are not the only countries susceptible to isis spreading into their region. they are popping up at an alarming rate around the world. why is this happening? what officials are doing in the u.s. and the west to stop it. that's next.

back with our breaking news. a video showing the beheadings of more than a dozen egyptian

coptic christians. we're talking about 21 innocent victims here. this didn't happen in syria or iraq. it happened in libya. this as the pentagon and the national counterterrorism center confirmed that isis is now gaining more foothold. algeria, libya, yemen, egypt and pakistan also afghanistan. now seeing a rise of isis militants. the reason? defections by the taliban, even boko haram, some of them rebranding themselves under the flag of isis. they are being successful in their recruiting opinion. >> arguably isil now has control of the largest territory ever held by a terrorist group. this safe haven provides isil and other extremists with the time and space they need to train fighters and to plan operations. >> joining me to talk about

this bob baer intelligence and security analyst. also with us retired major general. bob, for a lot of people hearing that this mass beheading happened in libya would shock them saying i thought isis was mainly operating in syria and iraq iraq. does it surprise you? >> well, i'll tell you what does surprise me is beheading coptic christians. you know you look at the koran and it says very clearly that christians and jews are people of the book. they may be a lesser people but they are still protected by the koran. so the islamic state in its adherence, whether they've got connections in raqqa or not is completely transgressive in this in terms of religion and it is out of control. now what isis likes, of course is power vacuums. libya is one. there is no government they've set up a base in darna ander is

the and boko haram is also troubling and of course the worst problem is yemen which is now a fragmented country and you've got calls for independence in the south and you've got al qaeda groups in yemen who are swearing allegiance to the islamic state. so this is a movement that's very quite unpredictable at this time and i won't hazard to say what's next. >> general williams we had david tarfuri formerly with the state department who spent time in libya and iraq who said the u.s. lz to do more in libya because this is going to unravel unless more is done. i guess i would like your perspective on what more the west can or should do in libya? clearly a failed state and clearly a state where isis is gaining a foothold but how involved do we want to get? >> well poppy, our involvement,

in my opinion, should be a little bit more aggressive whether that's diplomatic issues intelligence issues and certainly military issues or military force. i know congress is going to debate this. you know in my opinion, because of the war powers act, i don't think the president has to ask congress for permission. congress' role has always been to fund and make sure that the military is in existence, but ultimately the leader of the free world is supposed to lead and in this case what frustrates many people around the country i certainly know in my circles are frustrate side yet president is not taking more decisive action because as bob just explained, you know the expansion of this terrorist group is going to you know throughout the middle east the mediterranean region certainly europe and ultimately you're getting probably some sympathies here in the united states not

just among islamic offshoot group, but also among people who have an issue with the government. so i think we have to get more aggressive otherwise we're going to have something that is out of control and we're going to have a hard time doing something about it. >> so bob, to you. you heard what the general just said. we have to get more aggressive and looking at the president's request for use of military force from congress this week that came forward, he did not set any geographical boundary right? and the white house saying that's because we don't want to tell isis where it can go and hide. does what has just happened this mass beheading of christians egyptian christians in libya show us that that is the right call not to put any borders on this if you will. not to say our fight against isis is just going to be against them in iraq and syria? >> well let me say the general is absolutely right and we have to get more aggressive and libya is an open sore.

i wouldn't call it a fragmented or failed state. it's worse than that it's mad max and you have weapons coming across the mediterranean, refugees. the italians just closed their embassy and they can't control their own coasts and i can't tell you what's going to come out of libya next but something will and unless we go in there either with the u.n. or with american forces we have to put a stop to this because europe is under threat. you look at this thing in copenhagen and i'm not much of an internationalist but this islamic state thing is nothing that i've ever seen before. i've never seen a worse pandemic of violence ever in the free world with us leading, we've got to stop this however we can. >> nothing like you've ever seen before. wow! if that doesn't say it i don't know what does. gentlemen, stick around. we'll have you on later more this hour to discuss. thank you very much for that. coming up next the latest on the deadly terror attack in

denmark. also back here in the united states it has been brutal in the midwest. we're talking about the weather. take a look. that is chicago. a major car accident there in chicago today. 35 cars in this chain reaction accident and a dozen people had to be taken to the hospital and we'll get a look at how much worse the weather is going to get. quick break. we're back in a moment. >> there was a total of 38. my tempur-pedic made me fall in love with mornings again. i love how it conforms to my body. with tempur-pedic the whole bed is comfortable. we actually got our bed as an engagement gift from her parents. maybe that's the secret to marriage. you're gonna stay together if you have a tempur-pedic bed. i told our friends, this is the best investment i've ever made. it's helping to keep us young. i love my bed.

you're watching cnn, your severe weather headquarters. >> all right. cape cod and the islands off massachusetts and the coast there could see hurricane-force winds before the system passes. take a look at the drive from cape ann, massachusetts, to seabrook new hampshire. this was shot by one of our producers on the ground who is on the ground with cnn's will ripley and right now they are headed for boston. will what's it looking like out there? >> reporter: poppy, i can tell you it will be a busy night for first responders here. the police have actually closed off this strip mall. this is the scene of the roof collapse that we've been talking about for much of the day. several businesses had their roofs cave in because of the weight of the heavy snow. you can see it piled up over there. it has officials concerned because the piles of snow along the side of the road will create difficult visibility if the snow blows and some of it the fresh

powder will be blowing quite a bit. as you said we are headed now towards boston and we'll be checking the road conditions and monitoring them as we go along. the roads appear to be clear, but the problem is that can be deceptive, poppy, because as you know growing up in minnesota as i know growing up in new england each if the roads look clear there's black ice. that's an issue and people start to get over confident when they look out on the roads like we're seeing right now and they think it's a nice slow pack and they hit a slick spot and they slide and that's what we saw on i-95 south near boston where there is a pile up involving more than 20 vehicles and we are told only minor injuries in that case poppy, and police are out making sure people are paying attention to the speeds and they're hoping that folks will continue to stay off the roads. tomorrow presidents' day and kids aren't in cool and government employees won't be going to work and nonetheless,

dangerous conditions and you see the conditions of the roads here and some of them get very narrow. the plows have carved out a path and you don't have a lot of room to play with when you have the snow drifts that are in many cases higher than the vehicles. >> thank you for that. incredible reporting outside and inside the car and i know your whole team behind the camera doing a great job. drive safely. we'll talk to you shortly. a colorado woman recently got four years in prison for wanting to join isis. we'll tell you about a new program in denmark that won't land people like this in jail. it actually works to rehab rehabilitate them. does it work? what's the ultimate goal? we'll discuss next.

there's growing concern that the terror attacks we've reese evently seen in copenhagen in sid nah and ottawa will increasingly target the united

states. at the top of the list are so-called lone wolves who are self-motivated self-directed and therefore very difficult to stop. here's what the director of national counterterrorism center had to say about that specific threat in his senate testimony this week. >> since may of last year ten of the 11 attacks we've seen in the west were, in fact, conducted by these two individual extremists two here in the united states and the nine others in europe canada and australia. the majority of these attacks, these 11 attacks look more like what we would expect from random acts of violence rather than the effort of large-scale destruction that we saw in terrorist plotting immediately after 9/11. in going forward, we believe that both individuals and smaller networks would try to mount similar attacks to capitalize on and build momentum from the media coverage that these kinds ever attacks generate. >> on wednesday the white house will tackle this issue with a summit on countering violent extremism. intelligence and security

analyst bob baird joins me now and retired marine corps major. let me begin with you, bob. looking at what we saw unfold the horrific mass behadd areeadings of coptic christians in libya. it is clearly reaching far outside of iraq and syria and clearly waging a religious war, and i wonder if you think that that changes how the west should fight isis? should we really be focusing on air strikes and this bombardment in iraq and syria or does this need to be an entirely new form of battle? >> well i think we clearly have to destroy the islamic state as it exists in raqqa. it is a disease, and what concerns me is it's starting to move into the gulf into saudi arabia the uae and just economic aspect of this could be a catastrophe, but again, also and i agree what disturbs me is

the lone wolf this psychosis which i frankly don't understand. i've never seen before where in america, someone who has grown up here so identifies with for instance the sunni in iraq that they feel that they can go out and murder people and in a country where guns are so easy to come by and it's an open society and the fbi just can't arrest you for having a bad thought, i'm worried that these attacks are going to come here and i don't have an easy solution on how to stop them but i can see them coming. >> general williams your take on that and also cyber warwarfare, right? we do look at a number of people being radicalized particularly by isis without having to travel to the region. >> oh absolutely. well you know, just starting with the cyber part of this you know the isis organization is much more sophisticated than most of the terrorist groups we've seen in the past. fundamentally, they understand how to use social media.

they're connecting to a millennial group of disenfranchised youth whether they're here in the united states europe africa middle east asia and umentltimately the challenge you will have in the lone wolf if there is some psychosis or schizophrenic problems going on with their psychological behavior i think that's going to be very difficult to deal with because some of those could be like a sleeper type of person when you awaken them they just go on the attack, and i think that's what we've seen with a couple of these lone wolf survivor-type scenarios. so this is going to be very difficult, but what it will require, i believe, is that every citizen that believes in justice needs to be aware of what's going on around them and if they have something that looks out of sorts or you hear something that doesn't look right then you need to report it to authorize authorities so that

they can at least have a way to track that situation from an intelligence perspective. >> so if we could, bob, i want to ask this question and ask the control room to pull up this map where u.s. officials now say that isis has spread. we have a map with the coloring of the different countries where isis has spread. it's not this one. it's another one, if we can, here is the question, how do we bob baer someone who has, you know a background at the cia, how on earth does the united states effectively fight isis in all of these places and it begs the question are all of these wars our war? >> well exactly. you look at the map and it goes from india to morocco, and into nigeria and the cameroons and, we for years have been fighting

palestinian terrorism and we've been fighting pez bell onna and it was controlled by iran. there was a return address and the palestinians were there, too, whether it was yasser arafat. we always knew where to look and we could run sources and go after their communication, but these people have spread so quickly and with such sophisticated technology and it's an idea that's drawn off the internet that is a brand new problem and it will take a greater mind than mine. things that disturb me for instance that isis is using encryption software from israel which cannot be broken by the national security agency nor can the i.p. addresses be. so for all i know these guys in copenhagen were communicating with raqqa. we simply don't know because they're that sophisticated and as general williams said this is a completely new war. this is like world war iii and we have to put the same sort of minds we put to in world war ii.

"charlie hebdo." police killed the shooter after a deadly shootout at a synagogue in copenhagen. his name has not been released and we do not know if the shooter had links to jihadist but denmark has the highest number of jihadis per capita in europe. they're using a unique program to try to deal with jihadis returning home to denmark. they offer what is known as a jihadi rehab program. the candidates are screened by police. if they committed a crime they go to court and possible toe prison but if they pass a screening test and they want help they can get it. help with getting a job, help with housing and also psychological counseling and the program doesn't try to change their fundamentalist beliefs as long as they don't advocate violence. the police chief in denmark's second largest city explains why the program appears to be working. >> this is not a gift shop. you have to be motivated. you have to really of the to become a part of the danish

society. we help them find a way through the system and what we've seen is that out of these 16 who have returned ten of them are now back in school and have a job and it seems to us that their focus is on something else than in syria. they are still muslim believers, some of them in perhaps a way that we would call radical, but not to an extent that so as far as we can see, they are a threat to the society. >> so let me bring in mayor in denmark thank you for joining me. i was fascinated reading about this program. it sounds that you guys have deemed successful thus far and it says even if they remain radical we don't try to take that away from them as long as they are not being violent. given the attack we saw play out yesterday, do you believe that that will at all change support for this program? >> no i believe that we need to

both have the hard measures where we prosecute if anyone has committed a crime and prosecute them to the full length of the law, but we also need the soft measures and if they have legal residence in denmark we have to do our utmost to reintegrate them into society because they have a legal right to be here. >> tell me why you think the program has been effective and what the steps are that are taken? >> well first of all, we make it very clear to these typically quite young people that if we find out they have committed a crime they will be prosecuted but other than that we try to motivate them to go into education or get a job and make sure that they can focus on other things than a path where they have become radicalized. we need to break that path and give them a more positive alternative. >> so that they don't feel

disenfranchised right? because oftentimes that can be at least in part a motivator for things like this? >> exactly. they need to have their values challenged and we need to make sure that they know that there is a society that if they choose the right path we will support them and we'll make sure that they can be reintegrated into society through education, through jobs housing and help for them to be an active and positive part of society. >> president obama has invited you to this white house summit mid-week that is all focused on countering violent extremism. i wonder are you planning to attend and if so what are you planning to say especially in the wake of this attack? >> well i'm planning to attend the white house summit and my

message will be that we need to -- to make everything -- all our efforts possible to unite local communities because this is an issue that can only be solved if the whole community stands together support these young people in reintegrating into society, and also we need to focus on the harder measures and make sure that they're also in place. >> mayor, do you believe, from someone on the ground who is such a part of this community, do you believe that we are seeing a dangerous sea change in europe following the attacks in paris and now this attack in your city? >> this is a threat in many countries all across the world, and it's a risk that we need to deal with and we need to stand together and we need to share the knowledge of the different

programs that is under development all across the world and make sure that we use all our resources and all our efforts in comparing this issue. this won't go away overnight, but we can actually do something about it and that's very important. >> mayor, thank you so much for joining me. i am so sorry for the people of denmark that they've had to go through this attack yesterday. wishing you all the best. thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. coming up the collapse of stability in yemen could make it even easier for terrorists to plot there against the west and now the u.n. security council taking up this issue in a rare sunday vote. we'll tell you what happened straight ahead. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome;

with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

each other and the first three-quarters of this game is always really fun and some of the big men shoot threes and when it gets to the fourth quarter, these guys take this game serious and i asked a bunch of the players about that this week and james harden about it and he said that's definitely the case and this game does get intense when it gets to the fourth quarter. check it out. >> it was definitely a race. we have to go out there and win. the first quarter is all highlights and dunks and fun, but the fourth quarter, guys get serious and just want to win and that's the most exciting part about the game i think. >> so poppy, if you want to see who comes out on top. east versus west. >> guess who won the slam dunk contest, minnesota twins. >> timberwolves! >> the timberwolves right? >> the dunk contest is getting stale and boring over the years and we've seen it all, but zack levin brought this competition

back to life last night and his first dunk -- >> do we have it? >> he was wearing a space jam jersey because he loved the move we bugs bunny and through the legs and under the banket and everyone went just nuts and then his second dunk and people were thinking how is he going to top this? he went behind it and threw that down and everyone was, like this competition is over and he did, he beat vick. and this was incredible to see and this went down as one of the best performances ever in the contest, and it was just as good as vince carter in 2000 who was just as good and the three-point competition was good as well and the best competition feel of all time and stef curry came to play last night and it was his fourth time in the competition and fourth time the charm for him. he had 13 in a row at one point. >> look at that. incredible. incredible. very proud of my timberwolfs on
