4:00 pm
again tomorrow. right here in "the situation room." watch us live or dvr the show so you won't miss a moment. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next egypt hammering isis with new air strikes after a brutal new video surfaces showing terrorists beheading christians. is this the turning point in the war against isis? and breaking news new information about the gunman in the deadly denmark terror attacks. what's his connection to isis and are there other plans in the works? plus a mother of four after a road rage incident. the hunt is on for her killer. let's go "outfront." and good evening, i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, isis em
4:01 pm
emboldened. 24 hours after the brutal beheadings of 21 christian egyptians in libya. they are calling this some sort of a parade as you can see. it's a caravan of trucks with armed fighters flashing their weapons. we cannot determine the authenticity of the photos or exactly when they were taken but it was released today, about it 2 4 hours after the brutal murder of 21 christians lined up on the beach, they are pushed to the ground one after the other, and then beheaded one after the other. egypt is vowing revenge tonight. and ian lee is "outfront" in cairo. what is egypt's response to this horrific horrific act? >> reporter: erin we've seen multiple waves of air strikes here in derna where isis has training catches and weapon
4:02 pm
depots. egypt wants to continue the air strikes. it's nighttime in kircairo. we're expecting that continue. they are talking about getting political support and material support. i talked to a retired general who said they can keep up this prolonged attack for a while but it will come to a point where they run out of bombs and they are going to be replenished. erin? >> ian, the 21 christians when you see that video, you can see them approaching that boecheach and you see so many of them. of course they are from egypt. what were they doing in libya? do you know? >> reporter: they are just going there to work. egypt sent millions to libya for jobs. these are real low-income people just looking for a better life and they find that with work in
4:03 pm
libya. these men were captured over the course of a few days around the end of december early january. militants going -- stopping a bus at one point, pulling just the christians off and at another time going into an apartment complex and separating the muslims and christians and taking them away. this is definitely sending a message to the christian community here in egypt. and as these air strikes continue, it's going to grow more dangerous for not just the christians but the muslim workers there as well. they are fearing that there will be a reprisal to these air strikes. erin? >> ian lee, thank you, in cairo tonight. and the u.s. officials are looking at the beheadings. one thing that they are looking at is the man seen here who is
4:04 pm
visible and wearing camouflage a bulletproof vest and dressed in camouflage. it sounds hike he has a north american accent. barbara starr is learning more about this. barbara, when i watched this video, that was one of the things early on i said wait a minute that does not sound like someone who is british. >> that's right. we've seen the masked executioner dressed in black, speaking in english but with a british accent if you will. that person commonly to be known as jihadi john inside syria. this is someone quite different and also very well spoken in english and perhaps more well spoken than the previous speakers we've seen. he's dead center in the tape. he's sort of the visual optical focus of the whole thing. he's wearing a camouflage-styled military uniform.
4:05 pm
so obviously someone that at least isis wants the world to think is important, whether he is or not remains to be seen. so the u.s. intelligence community, other intelligence services in the region will be looking at this all very closely to see if there are any clues, if they can come up with an identity. another visual clue again, we see the orange jumpsuits. we've seen that before. so many times people being put to their death in these orange jumpsuits. the u.s. believes it's isis' message about guantanamo bay, of course. this is the type of orange jumpsuits that detainees wore originally at guantanamo bay. they have not for some time. it underscores the views that many people in the region have about that program at guantanamo bay. the feeling is that isis is using that once again, as a recruiting tool. but this time again, did they go too far?
4:06 pm
egypt, as ian lee just reported is responding very seriously. >> it seems that isis doesn't have any fear about going too far. they burned someone alive and have now beheaded 21 christians. our military analyst commanding mark hertling. general hertling let me start with you. we've asked this question before, which is why i wonder at what point the answer will be yes for real. first, is this a turning point and the answer was yes but things continued as they were. then isis burnt a man alive, turning point, people said yes but here we are. is this a turning point? >> it's another turning point, erin. you also have to go back further and say that -- you talk about the executions in iraq and syria. multiple hundreds of executions of iraqi soldiers that they caught just horrific scenes one after another. those were not as publicized as
4:07 pm
the journalist certainly some of the other ones that occurred. this is a cult. this is a terror group that is also serving as a cult that with all of the symbology that goes with that and it's form an insurge insurge insurgency throughout the world. >> it's gaining accolades. the president has asked for authorization of military force. according to cnn's latest poll this is pretty interesting, the president's approval rating is pretty low. 50% disapprove of how he's handling isis. terrorism overall, 54% disapprove. i know you've been meeting with the president about these issues about isis. what does he need to do at this point to convince the american public that he's doing something? >> well look i think that the president is doing what basically can be done at this
4:08 pm
point. we've we've mobilized the coalition and we're taking the lead in helping other countries come to the forefront and play the role that they need to play. jordan uae, egypt now playing very aggressive roles. the mesh public is fuss straighted no doubt, but it should not translate, necessarily, into what could be a fatal mistake and that is becoming more aggressive and actually sending ground troops or doing more of that sort of thing. we've tried that. it's failed. the region doesn't want us to do that. we are not welcomed back as an occupying force. i hope arab countries step up and ought to provide ground forces because that's ultimately what is going to be needed is ground forces from the region taking control of this area. >> so general hertling let me ask you about that. on this same poll 44% of
4:09 pm
americans say at this point that the u.s. should send in ground troops. that's up four percentage points in a couple of months. it's not quite a majority but slightly less. there are americans coming around to say, yes, ground troops. but my question to james' point is if not the u.s. then who. because every other country gets involved and they do air strikes. but troops on the grounds just frankly appears to be completely off the table. no one wants to do it. >> it's interesting, erin. what i would suggest is americans have this feeling because they want a quick solution. >> right. >> there are no quick solutions to this problem. the president's strategy has what the military call seven lines of operations. only two of those are military lines. the others have to do with building coalitions, diplomacy, reducing the economy that's linked to the isis fighters and several other areas. you also have to consider that america -- in america, only 1%
4:10 pm
of our entire nation serves in some type of uniform. so there is a great demand and desire to have the military go over and fix this and fix it fast. again, going back to the comment, this is an insurgency. this is a cult and terrorist organization that requires a lot more than boots on the ground. by the way i was once told before i took a division into iraq by my boss you can't kill your way out of this. you have to form diplomacy and economic means when you go into northern iraq. >> thanks very much to both of you. pretty sobering. the u.s. tliried to do that and we saw what happened. next breaking news on the terrorist attacks in europe and whether more attacks are now in the works. plus a mother of four shot and killed from a road rage.
4:11 pm
they have not found the killer yet. this incredible video coming into cnn. it's a train that derailed and there was a camera that was on it as it exploded. we'll have the latest in a moment. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables
4:12 pm
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. for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. i have the flu with a runny nose.

4:15 pm
attacks in denmark. the suspect behind the deadly shootings pledged allegiance to isis and an hour later opened fire on a cafe and is synagogue. the facebook page of the isis he pledged leader baghdadi. nick paton walsh is joining me. what else were you able to connect him to isis directly? >> reporter: he didn't go to iraq he didn't go to syria. the police said all along he might have been inspired by them. but what we're learning now right before this attack shows that the police appear to have been right in this case. it was isis who inspired this attack. >> why do we still say -- [ gunfire ] >> reporter: hours before this brazen gun attack the gunman
4:16 pm
omar abdel hamid el hussein was posting this pledge of allegiance to isis leader al baghdadi on his facebook page. he was shot dead by police after two people were killed and others wounded in attacks on a cartoonist attending a free speech event and at a synagogue. but he wasn't alone. monday two young men charged, 19 and 22 years old. prosecutors say the two men had a prior agreement with the gunman to help him hide out after this attack but they hid the weapon. the two men are now being charged with accessories to two counts of murder and accessories to five counts of attempted murder. according to denmark's national public broadcaster, el hussein had only been out of jail two weeks before the attacks. he was convicted last year for a violent, unprovoked stabbing on a commuter train in 2013.
4:17 pm
>> people going to syria and iraq to learn to use weapons, he got his education in using weapons in dehumanizing other people and able to kill them here in denmark and in civilian areas in the danish state. >> reporter: he said he felt threatened but was judged mentally fit. he was physically fit and a keen boxer seen here in copenhagen in the last few years. he was born in denmark. his palestinian parents divorcing when he was young. according to police he was a gang member. his alleged attacks, the police say, may have been inspired by the recent killings in paris at the "charlie hebdo" cartoonist and at a kosher supermarket. the similarities targeting a cartoonist and a synagogue are chilling. and what we now know as well is that period in jail that's when he appears to have been
4:18 pm
radicalized. a source tells us that he was thrown out of his gang for being uncontrollable and gravitated to another group and that was radical islamist and he was radicalized, we're told, inside jail. erin? >> nic robertson, thank you so much. joining me now is rob wainwright. thank you so much for being with us tonight. there are disturbing similarities it seems, between these attacks and the ones in france. the targets were first cartoonists and then the jewish community. police officers were shot. it certainly seems like there could be a connection. how do you see it? >> well striking similarities as you say, erin. i think the level of sophistication in the terrorist attack in copenhagen is not the same that we saw in paris but in total now we've seen three major
4:19 pm
terrorist incidents in the last five woks and it's the scale of it that is worrying us because we have 5,000 european nationals that have been radicalized in syria and iraq many have returned to european society perhaps with an intention to carry out an attack. a large community of extremists to have stayed at home but nonetheless been taken in by the same rhetoric and ideals. we don't know within which category the gunman falls but what i'm seeing erin the emergence of a common picture across the terrorist landscape, of the role of the internet for example, in radicalizing these people and the way in which they are sometimes willing and capable of operating alone, often unconnected to each other and almost in a random way. and that is a great cause for concern for the police in europe right now. >> now, lars vilks was on the
4:20 pm
most wanted list and he's now in hiding. "charlie hebdo," the editor there, he was also on that list and killed in paris. perry jones, a florida pastor who burned korans is on that list. at this point, is everyone on that list at risk of -- you know what you talk about, a self-radicalized lone person who might come kill them? >> i think that's a reasonable assumption erin. it's clear from these attacks that there are softer targets than that also potential risks, like the jewish community. across the three incidents that we're talking about, you know that's another part of the scene that we're worried about. i think in terms of those that are clearly at risk they have been at the right level of police protection which should be enough to guarantee their safety but this is a difficult time for those people for the jewish community and other
4:21 pm
sections of the public that are threatened by this terrorist scene at the moment. >> and obviously you talk about jews being targeted. there's no question about it right? a synagogue was targeted this weekend and some graves were decimated. a supermarket in paris, of course the kosher supermarket attack. do you think jewish targets at this point are front and center? you know if someone is a jew, should they be afraid to go to a synagogue at this point? >> well i think there are a number of incidents that make it quite alarming. at the same time let's not get this threat out of proportion. i still think that it's important that we in europe and in the western world, we continue to live our lives in the right way. we established by the values that we cherish.
4:22 pm
>> director wainwright i appreciate the chance to talk to you. thank you, sir. >> thank you. all right. and the gunman in the copenhagen attacks was killed in a shootout with police 14 hours after the first attack. law enforcement officials were able to locate him fairly quickly using this. surveillance cameras. and they are throughout the city of copenhagen. this is just another example of closed-circuit cameras serving in the line of defense in the fight against terror. kyung lah is "outfront." >> reporter: a surveillance camera captures a moment that a suicide bomber detonates a bomb inside moscow's busiest airport in 2011. in new york, dale thompson is weilding an ax. nairobi, kenya, a four days long siege in 2013 captured on the shopping mall's electronic eyes
4:23 pm
on the ceiling before during and after. allowing to us see crime unfold and in realtime. law enforcement using the images to chase the criminal. >> we -- [ gunfire ] >> reporter: seconds after the shooting in denmark, a security camera captures the suspect fleeing. that helps police identify and find the gunman within hours of the attack. this isn't the first time that surveillance images landed a suspect in jail. in 2013 he stabbed another man on a train. the knife in his hand caught on camera. the latest example of technology emerging with policing thanks to the proliferation of public and private cameras, it's now routine. in ottawa investigators piece together the movement of another man as he fired his weapon and charged through canada's parliament building. and in the "charlie hebdo" case investigators believe the female suspect left france. security footage captured what
4:24 pm
appeared to be hayat boumeddiene at the istanbul airport. and days after the boston bombing, suspects were pegged at the scene. tens of millions of these cameras exist in the u.s. now, though no one, no agency knows exactly how many. and that's what is alarming, say critics. >> we're really behind on thinking carefully about how surveillance affects privacy. >> reporter: as drones with cameras take to the sky and law enforcement leans more heavily on ever improving technology the aclu warns that the high-profile successes smother the risks. >> of course it's important to solve a terrorist act. but -- or any criminal act. but surveillance isn't the only way to do that and we have to recognize that there are real costs to privacy. >> reporter: so do the costs outweigh the benefits? a lot of police agencies say the benefits right now certainly outweigh the costs.
4:25 pm
here's why. i'm standing on a typical street corner in hollywood, in los angeles. take a look across the street. law enforcement is able to monitor this entire street corner because of that surveillance camera and this is on the next corner a few streets down and it's something that you see on a lot of street corners, whether it be new york boston or los angeles. and what civil libertarians critics will say, who is behind the lens where is that information stored and how long is that kept? erin a lot of them are saying we're just not having those discussions right now. >> certainly not now. kyung lah, thank you very much. breaking news pictures of a train derailment in west virginia and this explosion literally happening live on camera. we have the latest on this breaking story next. and a mother of four shot dead after a case of extreme road rage. her suspected killer is still on the run tonight. we'll be back.
4:27 pm
4:30 pm
crude oil derailed. this video is hard to watch. this happened within the past hour or so. 27 of the 109 cars on that train derailed. the governor of west virginia earl tomlin has declared a state of emergency. joining me on the phone is communications director for the west virginia department of military affairs and public safety. thank you very much for being with me lawrence. i appreciate it. is the fire still burning? i mean these images especially given the cold and the snow are stunning. >> the fire does need to burn and it will continue to do so. perhaps this is our best option for some of these cars to let them burn out. >> do you know at this point what happened? what caused the sudden and massive explosion? >> we do not yet know. as you're probably aware, we've had severe winter weather conditions here with significant snowfall. we don't know yet whether that's a factor in this. we're still getting our facts
4:31 pm
together. >> my understanding is this happened relatively near a river. when you talk about the high explosives the oil, do you know where all of the contents are of the train or could it have gone into the river? >> well the initial concern is that cars ended it up in the water. we no longer believe that to be the case but emergency responders could not get a good sense of whether the waterway was at risk there. the firefighters at the scene do believe that they have seen oil in the water and, in fact some of it has been on fire. now the concern is whether that poses a threat to local drinking water. one of the communities in that area has obtained its water supply a treatment facility shut its intake as a precaution. we are now facilitating the delivery of bulk water to the community with the first stop going to the hospital and there's another community down river to see whether it needs to
4:32 pm
shut off the intake as well. >> all right. thank you very much lawrence messina. as we get more we'll bring it to you. now back to our top story tonight, the blows, the air strikes in libya against isis. egypt delivering a punishing blow to the terror group. fighter jets targeting camps, training areas and weapons depots that isis has in libya. over the weekend, isis released the new video showing the beheading of 21 egyptian christians. and "outfront" now, egypt's foreign minister. i appreciate you taking the time to be with us tonight. let me start with the first question here. 21 egyptian christians murdered. isis has a presence within egypt. are you worried at this point that more egyptians will be murdered by isis? >> well certainly a matter of concern to us to be able to protect all egyptian citizens
4:33 pm
and this brutal organizations will do anything to put pressure on isis to fight within the coalition. so we are careful and we will take every measure to protect our citizens. >> this is the first time minister shoukry, that egypt has taken part publicly in the air strikes. do you know what you hit? do you know the impact of the strikes, whether you're going to keep doing more? >> well the targets that were struck were the ten targets related to training and storage facilities for isis. these were surgical strikes based on very accurate intelligence and related to degrading the capabilities of isis within the city of derna. they have undertaken that was careful not to impact or create
4:34 pm
collateral damage by virtue of the timing and position of the strikes and we're confident that it has substantially had its effect in degrading the capabilities of this terrorist organization. >> and you talk about that being surgical that you have good intelligence. libya is in chaos. they are insaying that the air strikes killed three children. do you know if that's true? >> first of all, i'd like to note that there is only one legitimate government in libya that is currently serving. this is a government that came to power after the free and fair and monitored elections held last summer. the supposed government in tripoli has no legitimacy whatsoever and it's trying to
4:35 pm
exert that situation of position by virtue of the support that is getting from militia and terrorist organizations that they are operating in libya. so any account that they might put out is purely for misinformation and in an effort to try to adversely impact the mission that is under way of the legitimate government the elected government in libya which is serving. >> you're confident that there were no civilian casualties? >> we are -- we are hopeful that the strike was targeting specific insta i guessllations and that there have been no collateral claj. damage. of course, situations of this type is difficult to obtain
4:36 pm
afterwards. so we will assess and evaluate and we will continue to be as careful as possible. >> and minister shoukry, obviously you're flying f-16s and going ahead with these bombs. our reporter in cairo reported that egypt wants to continue the air strikes but sources told him there will come a point where egypt will quote/unquote run out of bombs? how long do you plan to go on with these air strikes? is this indefinite? or is this something where there is going to be an end point? >> well egypt has been at the start of the coalition and its participation has been vital from a political and cultural perspective and we have continued to collaborate with our partners. among them, the united states very closely since the expansion of the coalition in paris and we have undertaken activities
4:37 pm
related to restricting the finances and improvement measures of isis. this is participation of a military nature and we will continue to support the coalition and be part of it in various degrees and through various measures. there is nothing to ascertain related to any further strikes. i think this is an issue that will be addressed by the military and valuation of the situation and they are taking into account all of the circumstances surrounding the conditions in libya. so we will do what we need to do in relation to any threats that are posed to our citizens and in close coordination and collaboration with the legitimate libyan government. >> minister shoukry, thank you for your time tonight. >> nice to be with you. and next a manhunt in las vegas. police searching for the man
4:38 pm

mother of four. this is the suspect's car. they are hoping the public will help them find the killer. sara sidner is "outfront" with the story. >> reporter: a family destroyed by an act of violence brought on by what appears to be road rage. a mother of four gunned down in her own driveway after an argument with another driver. >> i brought my wife valentine's flowers for the last time and i can't do that no more because of this senseless act. she was a grandmother of one. my son's only 1. 1 year and 2 months. and now i've got to dole with my son growing up without his grandmother? >> reporter: the family says tammy meyers had just finished giving her teenaged daughter a lesson in driving in this parking lot. there was a near collision leading to the argument between her and that driver. her distraught husband says the
4:43 pm
other driver a man, then followed his wife and daughter as they hurried home to get help. >> my son came out while his mother was being shot and he opened fire on the suspects. >> reporter: evidence of the exchange of fire in a nearby wall. but police say the suspect's bullet struck meyers in the head, killing her. >> look at this closely, because she's gone now. she's leaving a 15-year-old, a 20-year-old, 21-year-old and a 23-year-old without a mom tonight. so you got your wish. you fired the shot. she's gone. >> reporter: the suspect is gone too. police say this is a sketch of the man they are hunting for along with two others in his car, which was caught on surveillance video. the incident is a grave reminder about tensions that can explode on the roads. >> what is it that makes an average person change when they get into a car? >> sometimes people feel violated and in that violation
4:44 pm
they get angry. anger turns into rage. the emotion attacks over the ent intellect and they do things that they later regret. the linchpin is that people feel an illusion of anonimity. >> reporter: in the most recent aaa survey, they looked at what bothers people and make people afraid. 8 out of 10 drivers say aggressive driving is actually a serious or extremely serious risk that jeopardizes their safety on the road. erin? >> sara have police had any luck at all finding that car? it seems amazing that they haven't been able to find this guy. >> reporter: it's true. they think there were three people in that car. they described the suspect in the shooting as a white male 180 pounds about 25 years old.
4:45 pm
he's got spikey dirty blond hair. they think the vehicle is gray. that's why they hope that someone, anyone will get information that leads to an arrest. erin? >> sara, thank you very much. a bank heist for the record books. this is a worldwide heist and literally got the atm machines to start spitting out the cash. how did they do it? we have an exclusive report. plus a golden girl and american sniper star together. jeanne moos on the hits and misses. . rowe price we can help guide your retirement savings. our experience is one reason 100% of our retirement funds beat their 10-year lipper averages. so wherever your long-term goals take you we can help you feel confident. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing.
