4:00 pm
ahead and tweet me. join us monday right here in "the situation room." watch us live or dvr the show so you won't miss a moment. have a great weekend. erin burnett outfront starts right now. tonight, breaking news isis suicide bombers reportedly pretending to be disabled hiding explosives in makeshift casts killing more than 135 people wounding hundreds more. a live report coming up. new details from the fbi about the mississippi man found hanging from a free and the horrific story of a woman lured to a home by a craigslist ad brutally beaten. her baby stolen from inside her. tonight the warning signs that were ignored. let's go outfront.
4:01 pm
details about the ruthless techniques isis bombers used to attack. they wore fake casts that concealed their explosives. the terrorist group claiming responsibility for the slaughter. five bombers targeting mosques. nearly 135 people killed. 360 more injured. the attacks were highly koords lyly coordinated and as people ran for safety more explosions followed. isis vows this deadly attack is a tip of the iceberg. also a journalist from our affiliate in london has gained rare access. we'll go live to libya in a moment. barbara starr is out. this is a horrific story. the attackers posing as disabled to get in there and detonating
4:02 pm
explosives. >> indeed. good evening. the u.s. still looking at that claim that isis made on websites that it was behind the attack. u.s. officials telling me they cannot verify or authenticate those claims at this point. al qaeda operates there. that's an al qaeda affiliate that's vowed to attack the united states. shiite sects that came under attack at these mosques have taken over the central government. the very government that was fighting the al qaeda affiliate that the u.s. is so concerned about. you really have just a very toxic mix of terrorist activity in a place where again, like so many other countries across east and north africa there is either
4:03 pm
no central government or very weak central government. if in fact this is isis in yemen, the concern is have opened up a new front, another country where they're able to operate with impunity. it couldn't be more critical. >> we talk about how they were disguising the explosives in casts, this was coordinated and planned and a strike at civilians who were going to pray at mosques. this is al qaeda said they wouldn't attack muslims going to mosques. does that make the claim more real? >> one of the comply kags in place like yemen and seeing in so many places where isis claims sponlts, who is isis? who are these fighters. what you have in places like yemen is a lot of local militants who may rebrand themselves saying i'm isis. they know it gets them attention and possible financing and
4:04 pm
recruits. a will the of people might be saying the concern is who are the militants? the labels may not matter so much anymore. you have this violent movement spreading. the concern is that that's what we're hearing from our sources. they don't think necessarily a direct tie back to isis central, in you will. isis leadership in syria and iraq but it doesn't make it any less concerns and any less tragic for the people of yemen. erin. >> horrific. the takes on civilians that are happening in so many countries. thank you. we're following breaking news out of libya. a country that's becoming an isis stronghold. two of the terrorists who killed 23 tourists were trained in libya. we have unprecedented basic eded access
4:05 pm
to a country in chaos. so few reporters have been able to do what you have done tonight. what have you seen how dominant is isis where you are? >> reporter: in the east of the country where i am isis controls one town? that's where they have major stronghold. they control the council and everything there. this is the divided country. i'm in the east and in the west that's run by a different government. there's another isis stronghold there. it's in place called sert. we see isis controls these two areas and the two rival governments governments, what they should be concentrating on is fighting isis. they are concentrating on fighting each other. that's why you have anarchy here and it's such an enabling environment for the islamic
4:06 pm
state. >> what have you seen in terms of their ability to grow to gain recruits. we saw that horrific beheading video where they beheaded more than 20 egyptian christians. obviously on the coast of libya. what have you seen. in in terms of their growth? >> reporter: you can hear the fighting going on. they still control three neighborhoods. i was in the neighborhood which is the neighborhoods that are controlled by the government forces. we could mortars. there's one point where fire went right over my head. that fighting is still going on. it shows they certainly haven't given up. although the government forces of the governments here in the east say they are winning, block by block, they certainly haven't won yet. >> all right. thank you very much. reporting live from libya tonight. you just heard lindsay say in
4:07 pm
libya isis is control of a number of towns. these dances are incredibly short. they are wor ripped this could be a launching pad. they have demanded protection from the italian navy because they are worried of isis fighters in speedboats are launching attacks against them. there's real fear in europe because of this. fear they could train in those isis turning camps in the east of the country between benghazi.
4:08 pm
>> the french prime minister said the terrorist threat faced was the greatest in its history. there's real concern for european counter terrorism officials. there could be more terrorist attacks in europe. they believe that isis is pivoting towards launching attacks in the european union. that was an isis directed plot to launch a major attack. real concern. more than 3,000 europeans have traveled to fight in syria and iraq. more than 750 have come back. there's also concern of refugee flows. more than 100,000 came from libya just last year. >> it's easy to disguise yourself as one of them and all of a sudden there you are in italy in the heart of europe. barbara starr reported the
4:09 pm
attackers hid their explosives in yemen. they posed as disabled people and hid the explosives in there. we heard about isis and they're trying to they have bomb makers trying to create bombss. they have tried to create bombs that could go in printer cartridges and could send through. sit possible western intelligence will be able to stop every single one of these ways. >> there's real concern. a lot of that coming from al qaeda and yemen. they are building increasingly sophisticated devices. there's concern that the yemen al qaeda group are sharing that terminology with the syrian al
4:10 pm
qaeda group. the syrian al qaeda group has access to those western and european recruits. >> all right. thank you very much. next the house speaker, john boehner, spurning the white house, heading to israel to visit prime minister netanyahu. our guest said he wasn't telling the truth when he said he supports a two-state solution this week. new details tonight about the suspect who attacked a pregnant colorado woman. she claims she was pregnant. she convinced her own husband of that fact but she wasn't. she never had a baby. is that why she allegedly tried to kill for one. new details tonight about the death of a black man hanging from a tree in mississippi. his hands unbound, his feet just two to three feet off the ground. books, and scribbles. let's pin 'em to the wall. kick 'em around. kick 'em around, see what happens. because we're in the how-do-i-get-this-startup- off-the-ground business. the taking-your-business- global-business. we're in the problem-solving business. 400,000 people -

house speaker john boehner said he's going to go to israel in the next two weeks and he's going to meet with the prime minister. he massively irritated the white house when he invited the prime minister to speak this month. now this visit from boehner wo has his own testy relationship with president obama will add fuel to a fiery relationship between the president and the prime minister. jim acosta is outfront. >> reporter: if there's one thing that's clear after the phone call with netanyahu, it's that a single conversation won't
4:15 pm
repair a damaged relationship. netanyahu said in three interviews that he still believes in palestinian state hood despite his flip-flop in a desperate appeal for votes. i haven't changed. that's not good enough for the white house. >> why not take him at his word? is there a reason the white house -- >> the question is which one. >> his latest. >> reporter: white house press secretary declined to say whether he clarified his position many the phone call with the president. >> did the prime minister tell the president he believes in a two-state solution in this phone call? >> that's something, you can ask my israeli counterpart. >> don't you know what the president heard? >> i'm not saying i don't know. i'm saying i will allow my counterpart to describe the views his boss conveyed in that phone call. >> reporter: despite the tensions john boehner plans to visit israel at the end of the month. the trip was planned well before
4:16 pm
the prime minister's re-election, it will come around the deadline for an initial nuclear deal between iran u.s. and other world powers. >> reporter: the white house said before netanyahu's victory the white house would not meet with him. the president said they won't rule out a future meeting. they have a lot to discuss but nothing is on the calendar just yet. >> thank you. it's good to have you on the program. i appreciate your taking the time. the speaker for the u.s. house of representatives saying he's going to go to israel to visit netanyahu in the next few weeks. would the palestinian president also want to meet with john boehner? >> he'd be happy to meet with anybody especially from u.s. congress of course.
4:17 pm
he would be willing to meet. i don't think the speaker has on his agenda meeting with him. this is an internal matter for the speaker to disease. one thing i would like to remind him when he goes there is that it was president bush in 2002 who first called for the establishment of the palestinian state that can live side by side in peace with israel and only last year the house of representatives during the act of 2015 unanimously supported a palestinian state. >> on this issue of the palestinian state, benjamin met netanyahu has not changed his policy for two people. he said there would never be two states under his watch. is senior foreign policy advisor told me that netanyahu was saying there won't be state,
4:18 pm
quote, unquote, today. he said it's translation issue. it doesn't mean never. it won't happen now. do you believe his policy has changed? >> absolutely not. i don't think ever since the prime minister netanyahu took office in 2009 he did anything to further the objective establishment of policy of state. since day one. >> you're saying the policy didn't change but was never for two states? >> no. he used it on monday to try to encourage his supporters, part of his fear mongering, warmongering. his policy has been always the same. this is someone who never believed in the palestinian right to establish their own independence nor he ever believed in ending the occupation. >> according to reports about the most recent negotiations
4:19 pm
that john kerry was part of it. netanyahu accepted the 1967 lines. he accepted things nobody thought he would accept when it comes to a palestinian state. the new republic writes about a meeting in the oval office as this two-state deal was close to some sort of resolution. president obama said in a meeting with president the occupation will end. you will get a palestinian state. you will never have as administration committed to that as this one. soon after that your government signed a unity deal with hamas that's pledged for the elimination of israel. that's what killed it. do you regret that deal? >> this is totally inaccurate. what brought down the negotiations and the administration supports the position on that was the fact that prime minister netanyahu
4:20 pm
reneged on an agreement he made to release prisoners at tend of march. the deal did not happen until may of that year. two months after the israelis braugts brought down negotiations. >> that deal is important. israel won't deal with hamas. you can't really honestly blame them right. this illusion called israel will be removed. israel will exist until islam will obliterate it. it's pretty hard on any reasonable basis ask israel to do a deal with somebody who is doing a deal with hamas, isn't
4:21 pm
it? >> technically hamas is not part of it. it was a government of national consensus to pave the way for elections and the reconstruction of gaza. i would remind the israelis that they have cabinet ministers right now. the foreign minister of israel only a week ago said that israel should behead arabs who are not loyal. whom prime minister netanyahu is planning to form a coalition government said there will be no palestinian state whatsoever. they should look at their own behavior and own statements before they try to accuse the plo who have been engaging genuinely and sincerely to put an end to this conflict. >> thank you very much for taking the time to be with me. >> thank you. outfront is global.

4:26 pm
warning signs ignores. new details for a pregnant woman who answered an ad about baby clothes ss only to be brutally attacked. people who knew the suspect feared she was a danger to herself or other pregnant women. a child care expert warns this is a red flag for me. she may be attempting to find someone whom she can get a baby from. that is exactly what happened. could this horrific crime been prevented? martin savidge is outfront. >> reporter: when elizabeth heard the news of the mother attacked in colorado it triggered a disturbing memory of an online chat. >> a post in a mom's group.
4:27 pm
>> reporter: a facebook posting described a woman who appear to be misleading her family about her pregnancy writing her whole pregnancy has been sketchy. she was supposedly due in mid-november and mid-december. here it is mid-january and still no baby. is it considered child endangerment if she won't go to the doctor. >> i'm like this is a red flag. this fits the profile. >> reporter: a profile of a woman who was lying about her pregnancy and getting desperate. it's a profile she had been trained to spot in her years of counselling women through child birth. the person who posted the question on facebook is friends with the suspect's husband according to cnn affiliate. she posted back. >> she may be attempting to find someone whom to get a baby from. i know this is all conspiracy theory like but should be taken seriously.
4:28 pm
>> reporter: the final words almost prophetic. >> my concern would be for any pregnant woman around. she may do the unmentionable and harm the baby and take the baby. >> reporter: that's the crime 34-year-old the charged with. accused of cutting 7-month-old fetus from the body of a 26-year-old mother to be. >> i don't think anything anybody would have done could help. >> reporter: the crime hauntss the 911 operator who took the victim's call. >> what did she cut you with? >> a knife. i'm pregnant. she cut me in the stomach. >> i did not know what i had at the time until she said she had been cut. >> reporter: the operator can be heard almost willing the victim to stake awake and stay alive. >> you need to stay on the phone. i'm getting everybody to you, okay. >> it was not easy to come back. i did not sleep well. it's my job. it's my duty my job. i love doing this. it's what i do.
4:29 pm
>> reporter: the young woman's family who identified her as michelle wilkins issued a statement thanking authorities and the hospital for saving her life and vealing for the first time something about the smallest victim in this tragedy, the baby was a girl. an autopsy was conducted today on that young victim. this is going to be very crucial in any prosecution case because what the prosecution will try to prove is the child was alive when it was born and therefore murder charges would apply in this case. the defense is going to try to say the child was not viable. that's why the autopsy information is so critical. it's very disturbing case. >> very disturbing case. seven months pregnant you would hope, at least in this case there could be viability. tonight, officer billy sawyer, the first responder on
4:30 pm
the scene and lisa bloom. you were the first one there. you got to the suspect's home. you found the victim in the basement. what condition was she in? what did she tell you had happened? >> she was barely conscious. it was very hard to keep her attention at the moment. she was covered in blood. it was one of the most horrific crime scenes i have seen. i began to question her. she wanted to hold my hand for comfort. i held her hands and tried to figure out what was going on. she told me she answered a craigslist ad. showed up to the resident. she didn't know the person prior and was attacked. she did not know she was no longer with her child. >> you can tell when you listen to the 911 call when she called,
4:31 pm
saved her own life. i'll play that for you. >> tell me what happened. >> she cut me. >> who cut you? >> i'm downstairs. i don't know. >> okay. hold on. hang on. >> please. i'm afraid. >> she cut you in your stomach? >> uh-huh. i'm pregnant. >> it's really hard for anyone to hear this. she did not know what happened to her. >> she's an amazing woman to have that will and that drive to survive and do what she did and be able to contact the police and tell us where she was at where inside of that location and speak to me as i got her to direct me to the location. she is the only reason why she's alive right now. >> lisa when you hear this
4:32 pm
horrific event that happened and then you hear the warnings posted on facebook. someone went on facebook and said i have a friend who's wife is pregnant and it's sketchy, goes through the situation. someone replies. the doula says this is a red flag and my concern for any pregnant being around her because if she is desperate she may take the baby. someone actually went online and had posted before this happened exactly what would happen. >> right. what an insightful expert that was. unfortunately, in our system we don't arrest people for fitting a profile or having the potential, even a very high potential to commit a crime. we can only do it after they commit a crime. the family certainly could have staged an intervention. the family could have asked her more difficult questions. if she was faking a pregnancy. why she appears to have been going to a doctor or at least
4:33 pm
pretending to go to a doctor. nobody was allowed to go with her. there's a lot of questions the family could have asked her but nothing law enforcement could have done before this crime. >> officer, from your understanding of the situation, did the suspect know that michelle was pregnant? what was the situation when they met? do you know? >> it's unknown at this time. i don't know if she knew. there's chance she did know she was pregnant prior to coming over. i'm sure this is not the first person who showed up at her residence for baby clothes or other baby items either off of that craigslist ad. >> we understand her husband thought she was pregnant and was coming home to take her to the first prenatal appointment and she, i suppose, i don't know if you know the case here said that she had just miscarried and
4:34 pm
produced this infant. >> correct. that's what she told him. who knows if he knew anything about it. it doesn't appear that way based on the investigation and the way it's going and the information we gathered. >> i know you said she's an amazing woman. that's because you saw her there and her sense she's beginning what will be an incredibly long and hard recovery. how is she doing? >> she seems to be doing fine. this is going to take not only a physical toll but the emotional toll will be unreal for her. i couldn't imagine. i've got a child myself and to be in that position is unimaginable. it's going to be a long road for her. she's going to need the support, thank god she has the family that she does and the strong support system she has to get her through the upcoming years. >> lisa what kind of charges
4:35 pm
could the suspect face because obviously it depends on whether the autopsy proves the infantastic was born alive or not. it could be first-degree murder. is that possibly what we're looking at and if not, what? >> so as to the mother, i think she's faceing attempted murder charges and i would add premeditated attempted murder because she placed that craigslist ad i would argue for the prosecution as an attempt to lure a pregnant woman or a woman with a newborn baby. who else will come in response to an ad for baby clothes. she put that in to get people to come to her house and that's premeditation and assault for stabbing her in the stomach. as to the fetus, it's much more difficult because colorado is one of the minority of states that does not have a fetal homicide law out of concerns for abortion rights. unless the baby was alive, even
4:36 pm
for a moment after it was removed from the pregnant woman's stomach probably no fetal homicide charges for what she did to that baby. there are some indications from reports that the baby was alive. she may be charged with murder as to the infant. >> officer, at this time do you know whether that baby was alive or not or is that still unknown? >> i cannot go into the details of the investigation. they are still trying to prove different aspects of this investigation. it's not over as far as the charges go. they are still trying to prove certain things. our detectives are doing an amazing job with moving forward and get all the details that they can so they can, if they can prove it push that. >> thanks very much to both you have. we appreciate you taking the time tonight. next a black man found hanging from a tree. the fbi has details on how he died. investigators looking into
4:37 pm
cold cases where robert durst lived. financial noise financial noise financial noise i have moderate to severe crohn's disease. it's tough, but i've managed. but managing my symptoms was all i was doing. so when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened;
4:38 pm
as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible.

the cause of death for a black man found hang frg a tree in mississippi is still officially in question tonight. officials tell cnn evidence does not suggest foul play in the death of 54-year-old otis death. the working theory is he likely died of suicide. the investigation is ongoing. he was found in the woods with bed sheets around his neck attached to a limb 15 feet above the ground. ed is out front taking us to the very tree where he was found. >> reporter: the ghost of the confederacy still loom over port gibson mississippi. the news of a black found hanging in a tree stirs this state's dark past back to life. just a short drive from this confederate memorial, 54-year-old otis bird was found hanging from a tree. it's not clear whether he killed himself but was murdered but as soon as the sheriff saw the scene he called in federal and
4:42 pm
state investigators. >> is that your biggest fear this was racially motivated? >> yes. i don't want the community saying it was a white on black thing. that's the worst thing that can happen is people making it into race issue. >> reporter: he lived in a house just on the edge of these woods and the sheriff tells us that his body was found about 500 yards deep back in that direction. it's a long path through this thickly wooded area and then you come to this opening where search teams found him on thursday. he was hanging from this black locust tree. his body we're told was about two to feet three off the ground. he was fully dressed with his work boots on. his hands were not tied together. there were also no stumps or chairs that would help him prom himself up. if he did commit suicide he would have had to climb the tree on his own. johnny baker owns the land where the body was found. >> to get back there, that's not on area where people just go?
4:43 pm
>> no. no. >> reporter: he was last seen on march 2nd. a friend drove him home from a casino that night. a week later his family reported his missing. a relative said he seemed fine and nothing out of the ordinary. relatives won't say if he had money troubles. in 1980 he was convicted of murdering and robbing a woman. he was paroled in 2006. investigators say results from the preliminary autopsy report won't be complete until next week. >> the community deserves answers. we're doing everything in our power to be transparent. >> reporter: so far the evidence does not suggest he was murdered. so far investigators spent a lot of time interview family members going through a lot of his belongings trying to piece everything together. one of key pieces of evidence will be the autopsy report and they look to get that early next week. >> thank you very much.

next law enforcement officials aringe looking at more cold case files with links to robert durst. what if you could get your very own pair of red sole loubitins just by printing them inging off your iphone. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more

oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. i'm brian vickers, nascar® driver. i'm kevin nealon comedian. and i'm arnold palmer, professional golfer. know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot
4:46 pm
in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding
4:47 pm
if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost.

law inforcement officials are scouring cold cases for possibly links to robert durst. this comes as he faces first-degree murder charges in california in the death of his long time friend susan burrman. we're now learning about the 71-year-old's physical and mental state. jean is outfront with the new details. he was moved now from a correctional facility and put in a mental health patient area. what for? what do you know? >> reporter: i spoke to his defense lawyer early today. he says he's not a suicide risk at all. he said he has health issues and it's important for him to be in a health facility. we heard in open court he had brain surgery. we heard that on monday. he says it's because of hydro what was inserted in his skull
