4:01 pm
news. isis fighters launching a major attack in northern iraq miles from the oil rich city of urbil. that's home to americans who work in the city. a local commanders describing a fierce battle with fighting at close quarters just outside of irbil. a source tells cnn coalition aircraft in the air. so far they have failed to stop the isis defensive. this comes as we have a new picture. cbs news has obtained this photo. this is the isis leader. this picture is from 2004. that's when he was in american custody being prosayscessed at a u.s. prison in iraq. it's one of the few images we have seen of him. our coverage with tim lister out front. this assault is alarming. >> it's very alarming because the kurdish positions in that
4:02 pm
area we visited it just last week are very very rudimentary in deed. they don't have the weapons. they are strong out along a very long run as the kurdish fighters told us we are facing almost every night this sort of attack, but not at this scale. this is much larger than we have seen recently. it's coming in from several different directions. if they're able to cross the river then there's only open farm land between isis and irbil. the kurds will try to reenforce that area. that's isis intention. they want to draw kurdish ishish in all different areas. that's why they launch the attacks at night. we hear this is still going on. casualties on both sides the. airplane power was not used because of the danger of hitting
4:03 pm
kurdish forces. they aren't equipped to deal with a much better armored isis force attacking them. >> irbil as the headquarters for internationals. barbara starr confirmed a photo obtained by cbs news is the photo of the leader. he was in an american prison in iraq. this picture is from 2004. there's so few pictures of him. what do you know about the time in american custody? i was there early 2004. the insurgency was just getting under way. the u.s. forces were rounding up an awful lot of people. this mile mannered phd student just completed a doctorate in
4:04 pm
islamic studies. it's quite possible while he was there former officers and stayed in touch with some of them. they are now the military grain in isis. it was an incredibly useful network. he went straight back into the insurgency and joined abul. >> certainly sounds like they did not have any idea. thank you very much. the headquarters for many multinationals who do business in northern iraq. now under assault tonight from isis. the key to isis success is the terror groups ability to recruit fighters. they are recruiting tool of choice is social media.
4:05 pm
it's been working. they send 90,000 online messages to supporters every single day. >> reporter: the boy appears only ten years old. he stands before hostages holding a handgun. next to him, a bearded isis fighter reciting religious versus versusver verses. the boy fires the gun. the hostages slump to the ground. just one video in the arsenal of the online war waged by isis. the group is known for boldly lyly flaunting its presence. just weeks afterisis brurned edburned a jordanian pilot burned alive in
4:06 pm
cage. >> we're in the city in the heart of the fighting since summer 2012. >> reporter: we know isis propaganda is notorious for shock and horror. muslim activists say is disturbing effective. >> you have violent extremist recruiters who use online mechanisms to lure people into thinking that committing acts of violence is somehow glorious or godly. >> reporter: it's admittedly an unhill climb of catch up. isis for months has been using fighters speaking english. >> i come from canada. >> reporter: to connect with westerners especially teenagers, on the same social media sites this 50-page guide
4:07 pm
book for recruits looking to travel to syria. how to get there, who to call and what to pack. it's a world that tries to show normalcy. terrorists seeking to redefine civilization one propaganda video at a time. >> why does this work? why does this resonate among certain westerners? they believe it's the same reason people may join gang people looking for something. what we're seeing at the grass roots level is a change inside the mosque and islamist centers. >> thank you so much.
4:08 pm
most of us could imagine. the direct forsaid in an unprecedented 20,000 fighters from 90 countries were traveling to the isis battlefield. people who were inspired by those videos. 3500 of them nearly from western countries, 150 from right here in the united states. what are you doing to fight this right now? >> well we're doing a lot of different things erin. i would point out one thing about the video you were talking about how and barbaric and awful they are. part of the focus of those videos are fear. they want us to be scared and repulsed. the more violent, video, the more violent messageing and social media is pitched toward
4:09 pm
us in the west and to these foreign fighters that you're talking about. part of the problem is that's a tiny audience. they are attracted to this because they're unemployed. they are unhappy and have grievances. the isil videos is pointed toward those people who they want to come to syria. >> isis has put out, according to the layest numbers, 90,000 social media messages a day. you have three digital arabic teams. the numbers we have 60,000 tweets in five years. it's a tough battle. you're fighting them. they're doing this. this is what they do. do you feel like you're fighting with your hands behind your backs? >> we're trying to untie our hands. we estimate they do about 90,000 pieces of social media. i'm aggregateing the content we do as a government.
4:10 pm
trying to amplify the messaging of third party groups to combat that disjunction between what they're doing and what we're doing. i would also point out that there are about three million retweets of justin bieber every day. that's the other end of the scale. >> when you talk about true influence. fair point. a lot of this what this comes down especially with the meetings in washington this week is what the united states will do about this. what the united states is fighting. the president said he rejects the notion that america is at war with radical islam. he said that's because isis is not truly islamic. >> it's true that i reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war because the overwhelming majority of muslims reject that interpretation of islam. >> graham wood who is a contributing editor wrote
4:11 pm
something i thought was sort of important in terms of counter the president. he said the reality is the islamic state is islamic, very islamic. i'm not adding the emphasize. that's his. it has attracted psycho paths and adventure seekers. why won't the united states government say this is an islamic movement? i understand you don't want to imply all muslims support isis because they don't but is the united states in denial? >> i don't think it's that hard to understand. part of sit a semantic ideal. the actions of these people are not religious. there's no religion on face of the earth or in human history that condones the kind of reprehenceable action that isil comments. that's the president's point. do these men say they are doing
4:12 pm
it in the name of islam? yes. is it a completely distorted and narrow and ancient view of islam? yes. i would not say it isn't islamic. i think that's his point. >> eric holder spoke about the administration's refusal to use this term. let me play what he said. >> radical islam, islamic extremist, i'm not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. it doesn't have an impact on our military posture. doesn't have any impact on what we call it on the policies that we put in place. >> that may be very true. some might say doesn't calling something by what it is matter. why would we avoid using the name for something? is there a fear of being too politically correct? >> i find and i'm a former journalist it's like trying to get somebody to say this and point it out that we're being
4:13 pm
hypocrite cal. i don't think we are. i think the point is i've been having meetings all day long today and the next couple of days with our coalition partners. they see this as a critical activity that's occurring in their country and we need to go after it. these are criminals doing it in the name of islam. it gives islam a terrible name which is part of the reason why we're talking about it as criminal barbaric terrorist activity in the name of islam. >> thank you very much. i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you, erin. next new information about the deadly attacks in paris. how the "charlie hebdo" massacre was almost completely called you have. jews in europe targeted murdered. one journalist walks to the streets of paris wearing a yamika and you'll see what happened to him. a mother of four gunned down. police are telling a very different side of the story.
4:14 pm

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.
4:17 pm
4:18 pm
got the flu. we're also learning more from the french newspaper about how sharif communicated with koulibady. jim sciutto joins me with the latest. there's also a big development in how they were coordinated. i'm stunned. when think about something horrific as this that something like the stomach flu might have stopped the whole thing. >> no question. terrorists are people. even small things can get in the way. in terms of coordination we knew they were friends. we knew they were suspected in a previous plot and their wives had been in touch. now the french newspaper reporting the attackers texted each other an hour before the paris attack on "charlie hebdo" and they might have met
4:19 pm
face-to-face several hours before and of the 13 cell phones he had, one of them was specifically for commune indicatingkats communicating with one of those brothers. >> now that there's this text proof that they were koords nadcoordinate coordinating is there proof of who inspired the attacks? >> it appears to be a mismash. you have direct ties between the brothers and aqap include possible training possible contact with the american preacher. not necessarily direct coordination like with the 9/11 attacks where you have home based calling the shots, setting the plans, perhaps picking the target et cetera. it's more of a mismash. an official today said even the
4:20 pm
term lone wolves may be a misnomer. that kind of thing means they can act very much op their own, if not totally on their own which the bottom line is that makes it very difficult to prevent these kinds of attacks. there won't be that final call saying go ahead and carry out this attack in this way. it means they can operate much more independently and that's easier to hide. >> thank you very much. the attack on the kosher supermarket in paris is just one, sadly of many, assaults on jews. this weekend a shooter targeted a sin going and hundreds of gravestones were decimated. the prime minister said european jews come you're all welcome. one israeli journalist wanted to see what was happening in europe. he filmed himself walking in
4:21 pm
paris. his experience incredibly eye opening. max foster is out front. >> reporter: one man follows him calling jew. he appears to be spat at. israeli journalist secretly filmed himself walking the streets of paris wearing a jewish skull cap and prayer tassle. >> felt like a walking target. i had a body guard. he told us to leave certain areas because he saw commotion. things going on because of the fact that i was there. >> reporter: out of the ten hours, they posted 90 seconds. cnn hasn't seen the rest of the footage. he copied the format that went viral back in october when a woman spent ten hours walking around new york being subjected to sexist abuse. that video has now been viewed
4:22 pm
nearly 40 million times. he says he wants to raise awareness of every day anti-semitism in europe in the wake of terror attacks in paris. four jews were murdered at a kosher supermarket. the video begins with him at the eiffel tower. most of the abuse was out in the poor predominantly muslim suburbs of paris. >> while you filmed across the city the message and some of the abuse you received really came from a specific part of the city. it's not necessarily a story of the whole city? >> i'm not claiming to say that it's the story of the whole city. then again, france is in europe and it's a democracy. i don't think it should be a problem for any person to walk on any street in these cities.
4:23 pm
>> he said he was extremely scared at times, he was expecting worse. >> i could have been beaten up which is something i thought was going to happen. it doesn't happen. most of the people that walked next to me and saw the way i was dressed treated me with respect. >> not a scientific study but it hit a nerve in the wake of attacks in jewish communities here in europe. erin. >> max, thank very much. fascinating interview. joining me now bob behr our intelligence and security analyst. when you hear about what's happening in europe you see what's happening in europe you see this journalist experience in the predominantly muslim areas of paris, does this surprise you? >> it does. i served in europe for many years. i still own a house in europe. this is a new europe. it's described as a clash of civilizations. it didn't used to matter what
4:24 pm
you wore. you could walk around paris and no one would say a word. it's changing very quickly. you need to look at coppenhagen. there's lot of weapons missing. it's not the europe i used to live in. >> a supermarket a graveyard, a sin going. these are places people go every day. i was talking to the head of europe poll yesterday and asked the question of whether they could guarantee their safety. he said no, but he didn't want it to blow out of proportion. my question to you is wouldn't you be afraid? are jews safe in europe? are you looking at a time like we saw half a century ago? >> i think it's pretty that bad. i'm not jewish but i couldn't go to a synagogue. you're planting a target your back. like i said this is something
4:25 pm
new. again, this is clash of civilization. i israel and jews are not part of the this conflict in the middle east. they are not responsible for the shia government in yemen but they are taking the brunt of this violence which is a real turn in this story. >> i think a pretty soeshbering thing to say. thank you very much. the bottom line is he would not be going to synagogue in europe now. next wesdetails on the road rage incident in which a mother was killed. police releasing a different side of the story. our exclusive report tonight. one man who escaped isis. he could have been one of these 21 who were beheaded. fighters entered his apartment threatened to kill him because he was christian. how did he get away? that's outfront exclusively. our experienced investment professionals are one

4:30 pm
police say after the incident the victim went home to get her son who was armed. they then went back out to find the driver. it ended with her death. the man hunt is on for her killer. sarah is outfront. i know this case is much more complicated that police originally indicated, right? >> reporter: that's true. really what has changed is the se sequence of events. the added information that tammy meyers the person who was killed in this case may have escalated in this situation turning around argument over a traffic incident into a homicide. an autopsy revealing the terrible truth about how this las vegas mother of four was killed in apparent road rage incident. she died of a gunshot wound to the head. the suspect followed her home and shot her after the two argumented over a traffic incident. police are searching for this man who they believe killed her. her case an extreme example of
4:31 pm
the potential dangers on the road. in a 2013 washington post poll the number of drivers reported having uncontrollable anger towards other drivers on the road has doubled since 2005. now with the proliferation of cell phones some of that rage is being caught on camera. if february in austin texas a driver loses his temper and is spitting mad when a woman photos his license plate. [ bleep ] you white power. . he later apologized for his actions. in january in north carolina a mother video tapes an aggressive driver. >> this person is front of me is being a real character. >> reporter: a minute later an attack. >> stop it. >> reporter: who can forget this? new york city a confrontation between the driver of a suv and motorcyclesists
4:32 pm
motorcyclists. bikers harassed drivers and slowed down in front of suv. one bike got hit. the motorcyclist then attacked the vehicle and the suv driver afraid for his family hits the gas running over three of the bikers. it ends when the bikers pull the suv driver from his car and beat him. several of the bikers have been charged. then there's this in 2013. a doctor sworn to do no harm rages against another driver when the driver pulls out the cell phone to capture the aggressive driving. >> he doesn't like that and slams on his brake. >> reporter: eventually the doctor pulls a gun. no one was hurt. despite our instinct to pull out a phone and video, experts say it may escalate the situation. >> you take the chance of shooting footage of someone enraged. could that further enrage them? you're taking a risk.
4:33 pm
get out of the situation. you don't want to escalate toyota this point where someone is so enraged they aren't thinking about what they are doing. >> reporter: when we heard from police in those sequence of events it appears the situation was escalate but there's no reason at all why this mother of four should have been shot and killed. erin. >> thank you very much. dr. drew. you sarah's piece. what is it about driving that leads to road rage? >> right especially here in los angeles is something we can contend with on a daily basis. i had someone act out road rage on me three days ago because i gently passed around him. he t-boned my car and was screaming. here in los angeles we know not to escalate things. you never know when it's that
4:34 pm
wrong person who might be an methamphetamine where this is go from rage to out landish behavior that could result in a death like that situation in las vegas. the fact we're in a vehicle makes people very impersonal. they vehicle is being attacked eded less so the individual. you don't have the feedback of a human being you're faced with while the rage is building. by the time they are deeply enraged they don't care who is in the point. >> sounds like they don't care if someone is videoing it. that might escalate it. road rage is common. why is it that some people escalate it to violence and others don't? i know you mentioned drugs in some cases but aside from that. >> there are two categories in my mind. there are people that are chronic road ragers and people who have mental illness and are raging because of their condition. the people that are chronic road ragers i've done some surveys.
4:35 pm
the common conception is their blood pressure going up. i heard people say they are going to have a stroke if they're not careful. the chronic road rager has a decrease in their pulse and blood pressure. they become hyper inhibit and get high from the raging. those aren't typically be people that will strike out but they are driving erratically and doing dangerous things. >> as to the situation we're talking about now, they still have not found the person who shot tammy meyers. the escalation could have come from both sides. there's no question this woman was a victim and should not have lost her life in this. do you think the suspect will strike again? >> this woman went back out with her son and a gun. they thought they were protecting themselves. this is absolutely not the typical road rage thing.
4:36 pm
>> thank you very much dr. drew. next, 21 egyptian christians beheaded by isis. we have an exclusive story. went to thetown where these men were from and found one man who escaped. his story exbooks exclusively out front next. the murder trial of aaron hernandez. he's caught on video dismantling his cell phone. this is that video. we'll show it to you. years now. thinking about what you want to do with your money? daughter: looking at options. what do you guys pay in fees? dad: i don't know exactly. daughter: if you're not happy do they have to pay you back? dad: it doesn't really work that way. daughter: you sure? vo: are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab.

cnn has the story of one man who narrowly escaped the grisly death of isis. he went to libya to try to get a job. he went with a dozen other men from his town. those men were kidnapped by isis. they were part of the group of 21 christians beheaded by isis in that vidseo. this man survived. his story is harrowing. >> reporter: a grieving mother and son turned martyr. he didn't have much. a strong back but no real education. with marriage on his mind and empty pockets he left for libya. he was a worker. he used to carry sand and rocks.
4:41 pm
what else could he do asked his mother. he didn't have a trade. he would have taken any job offered to him. families like hi may be poor but are rich in faith. the small close knit village says 13 sons were part of a group of 21 who lost their lives at the hands of isis in gruesome beheadings. the streets void of joy filled with a painful procession of crying eyes. she lost two of her sons. they were about to return home to celebrate christmas. they said mom cook all the holiday food she tells me. the bas i hope god deprives them. the attacks sparked national outrage. islam and christianity in egypt forming one hand. men in this village understand what it means to work in libya.
4:42 pm
the thing about villages like this is people are poor. work is scarce. one say once things calm down they'll risk their lives going back. he's lucky to be alive. narrowly avoiding being kidnapped by isis himself. he's the last person to see them alive. he tells me there was a crack in the wall next to the ac. mass men seized his cousin and nephew in the adjacent room. he heard isis militants say they had orders to arrest all christians. he escaped into the desert with 15 others. back home he avoids his family. i feel guilty he tells me. first of all the situation was difficult, more than you can imagine. how your nephew be taken from your hand. how can you face your brother or
4:43 pm
uncle. what would you tell them. heroics would mean one more son didn't come home. he takes solace in what he saw. till the last moment the name of jesus was on their lips. they were calling god's name saying god have mercy on us. the entire village is proud. he doesn't hold a grudge. she knows her son is in a better place. as the drums of war grow louder with egypt, potentially increasing air strikes against libya. we need to remember that the country has thousands if not hundreds of thousands of residents still in that country trying to get out. we know isis is not afraid of killing anyone they see as a threat as an enemy. that means not only christians
4:44 pm
but egyptian muslims are at risk as well. >> thank you very much. such a powerful and moving report. next newly released video shows aaron hernandez demantling his cell phone. why was he doing it? was he trying to cover up evidence? we'll be right back. and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don't let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. startup-ny. it's working for new york state. already 55 companies are investing over $98 million dollars and creating over 2100 jobs. from long island to all across upstate new york,

key piece of evidence is now public in the murder trial involving former nfl star aaron hernandez. the jury was able to see surveillance video showing the former new england patriots vid dwroe video taking apart his phone. you see limb there in the pink pants and getting into his attorney's car to use his attorney's phone. it was one day after police say hernandez murdered his friend odin lloyd. was he hiding something? >> reporter: it's 2:00 a.m. and new england patriot aaron hernandez is in police station parking lot after voluntarily meeting with detectives. he gets into his lawyer's car. several hours after odin lloyd's body is found shot dead in an industrial park keys to car rented by hernandez found on lloyd's body lead police to question him. an out door police department security camera shows hernandez

4:50 pm
