planning stages since march. >> a lot of people had been wondering if he was the target of the raid. >> reporter: the administration is characterizing this mission as one that is a significant blow to isis, and there are, as you know, a lot of questions that remain about the mission, including at the most basic, what was sighoff's real name. lawmakers on capitol hill, they seem to be throwing goldwater on the significance of the mission, and the top democrat, he is saying we should be under no illusion and the extent of what impact of what one mission can do when we are talking about isis at large, and a republican, ed royce, on the house foreign affairs committee says what will be key is how the u.s. uses the reams and reams of data of intelligence recovered from the

mission site. >> as i understand it, it's quite a treasure trove that might allow us to find out who offshore funding isis when you hear about money come into isis. >> some congressional leadership was notified ahead of time of this raid on friday, and there will be additional briefings. >> this all comes as the white house, i understand, lawmakers very concerned about what is happening in ramadi and iraq, and enough so they are expediting weapons, weapon shipments over there. any news on whether they will continue to send weapons there, or was this a one-time thing? >> we know vice president biden communicated to the iraqi prime minister of the shipment on friday, a telephone call that is in addition to the coalition air strikes, and the news of the mission comes at a time as many

lawmakers noted when isis is making some advances in ramadi, and while iraqi forces are desperately trying to hold on to that city, and that's something speaker of the house, john boehner, noted, and he said this mission was a good one, and he said, quote, i remain gravely concerned on the assault of ramadi that threatens the saufen tea of iraq, which is vital to america's interests. >> thank you. and there are so many questions about sayyaf, and he goes by other names. he is a tunisian cityson overseeing the gas and oil operations, and he is also involved in the hostage taking operations. let's talk about him and the operation at large and bring in lieutenant, a former delta force

commander, and also bringing in the our other guest. >> are you surprised the details have been released by the pentagon? >> i am initially, but i think we are seeing a big change since the bin laden raid when the announcement of s.e.a.l. team six conducted that raid, and i think this shows a policy change for us that we are going to start using these elements of, you know, pr, of propaganda to get those things out to let people know that, you know, the first team is coming after you and you always better be looking over your shoulder, because the first team doesn't miss. >> let's talk about what was collected here. we know he was killed and his wife is being intear gated in iraq, and there were documents collected and computers

collected. what can we learn from those? >> hopefully, victor, they will provide further insight into isis' operations in terms of how they precure the money to fund their activities, and the group is heavily involved in human trafficking, and that's another angle that tends to get overlooked, but it will be important to see what they do with those individuals, and which criminal enterprises they are connected with. we talk about isis as a terrorists group, but they are a criminal entity as well, and the third factor is that he is a tunisian. we know a lot of tunisian nationals have been recruited into the group, and just recently there was an attack in tunisia linked to isis as well, and it could give intelligence that could be used against them from planning operations not just in iraq in syria and

internationally as well. >> and highlighted after the attack, per capita the number of foreign fighters, the largest number coming from tunisia fighting with isis. in addition to the documents in the computers, i read from one of our sources that ancient artifacts, including coins were collected, and there was an interpreter taken. how large is the entourage that goes with the commandoes, and there is the firefight and the collection of all the information and coins, and how long are they on the ground? >> well, they can be on the ground for as long as they need to be on the ground. that's the bottom line. as long as they can sustain themselves and they can secure themselves, and typically we want to get in and out as fast as we can, and i think over the next coming days, we can see that this target was not a point target, and as more information comes out, there were other additional targets around that other forces went in with delta

being the main effort to go after him. what we want to be able to do is exploit anything we can find quickly on the ground so if need be that can drive us to another target if need be. yes, a lot of information being brought back, and the technicians will go through it, and the years before we would grab it and go and never hear anything, and now we want to exploit that information on the target as much as we can before we move it. it's tough to say, but the right answer is, as long as they need and as long as they can be secure. >> the interrogation continues of his wife, and she had knowledge or was influential in human trafficking, and is there

any indication that the wife of this commander would have that much information about the organizational part and int intricacies of isis? >> we shouldn't rule out the fact that the wives of the commanders do not know what is going on with the infrastructure, and isis has no problem in recruiting women, and in fact they encourage it, and they use the oxygen of publicity through new media platforms in terms of getting their message out and recruiting more and more women. we had this problem in the uk, and so many young and impress n impressional woman were recruited by the group, and they will be in the knowledge of some of the activities that take place, and the human trafficking angle needs to be looked at further, because he had a slave,

and the woman used as the slave was rescued by the delta force. what are the networks developing and how much is the family connection involved in terms of assisting isis. >> indeed. thank you both for the insight. >> thanks. tonight, cnn takes a look at isis going inside, and talking with the experts that know the group and what do they want? who are they? "blindsided," right here tonight at 7:00 p.m. what is going to change and how pivotal could it be to stopping another incident. dozens of tornadoes reported across the midsection overnight, and the threat of dangerous weather is not over. making a fist

i am a lot of things. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namendaxr.com.

my name is mary molina and i'm in the sacramento region. pg&e new technology is being used in all facets of the company and what we do. pg&e is employing these technologies as an investment to the system for the long run. we're not just going to roll up and go home because we live here and we work here and we care about the work and we care about doing it right. we all have the same goals to make the system safe and to make the community safe. together, we're building a better california. right now, and amtrak is hoping to be running again at full capacity in the northeast corridor by tomorrow or tuesday at the latest. >> but first it has to beef up key safety measures where it derailed on tuesday killing

eight people. and the fbi and ntsb are trying to determine if an object smashed into the windshield before it crashed. let's get the latest. >> reporter: new information from the assistant conductor is deepening the mystery about what caused the deadly derailment. if we reset we know that a train was struck by some sort of object, and that happened minutes before amtrak 188 derailed, and we have audio when police responded to the septa train after it was struck by an object. >> an unknown object made contact with that train shattering the windshield. we do not have an update on any injuries as we cannot make communication with the train. the train is going to be on the

hill. >> reporter: that happened just minutes before amtrak 188 derailed. the assistant conductor not only did she hear that being reported, she believe she heard the amtrak engineer say his train was struck as well. they are looking at the windshields of 188, and they are going to be doing lab test to see if it was struck by a projectile and what angle it came from, and it was ordered amtrak take safety measures immediately, and they installed the safe tracks, and they are asking amtrak to do a risk assessment on all of the curves along the northeast corridor. lastly, they are ordering amtrak

to increase speed limit signage along the tracks. we are told that if amtrak refuses this they could face civil penalties, and amtrak has come out and they say they will be implementing this as soon as possible. >> renee marsh, thank you so much. earlier i spoke with the safety board expert and asked him why speed controls had not been on the northbound tracks until now while there were already on the northeast corridor's southbound tracks. here is what he said. >> the risk assessment for the northbound section of track just assumed the risk was low because he was coming out of a station going slow and that he wouldn't have the same risk that is associated with the southbound track, because the southbound track has a long straightaway coming into it with a high speed limit on it, so when they were

putting in the measures in, it was deemed the risk was lower on the northbound side of the track, and maybe factors were not considered, but that is what they did. >> knowing this, are their routes on your radar that raise red flags elsewhere about the safety of amtrak? >> i think amtrak's safety record has been improving. in my days at the ntsb, we had lots of accidents with amtrak and lots of fatalities. so it has been improving, because it's high-speed rail and we are trying to run it on rail lines that were designed 100 years ago, there are concerns in there that wouldn't exist, say, in europe. if you have ridden it in france, they had the benefit of laying out their tracks after the second world war, where we had

more knowledge about high speed travel and they took the land before the land was developed. in the northeast corridor, it's difficult to find another way around philadelphia or in new york, we go underground. we are going to have to reassess on how we put our train stops in the metropolitan areas. >> he also said that funding has always been an issue for amtrak and he said he rides the train every day and he is confident they are safe. nearly a dozen republican presidential hopefuls. >> and ryan's predictions for 2016. motor trend's 2015 car of the year. so was the 100% electric e-golf.

nomination. we're going to ask him about what kind of role he wants to play in this election. he is by far the underdog, and he admits that, but the question really is that as he is doing somewhat better in the polls and gaining traction with more hreub kul democrats, is he going to really take on hillary clinton, maybe have sharp elbows? we are trying to get to the bottom of that. and we are talking to paul ryan, somebody that knows what it's like to be in the political spotlight, and he was the republican vice presidential candidate in 2012, so we will talk to him about this week that jeb bush has had and if he should have been prepared for the question he fumbled on, and we are going to talk about a weird position he is in at this point, and a big republican name, right? but he finds himself in a fight on the same side with president

obama over the trade pact with a number of asian nations. strange bedfellows there. we will be checking in with him over the possibility of the trade deal moving forward. >> and you are all things politics. and there are politics that are seeming to resonate in the amtrak crash. you are talking about that as well, yes? >> that's right. big questions over amtrak funding. we will talk to our guests about that, and we are also going to talk to a board member of the national transportation safety board, and get the latest on that investigation. remember, at this point there are questions about a projectile that may have hit the locomotive on the amtrak train that crashed. we are going to be asking this board member about that, because you have a secondary conductor on the train saying there was a regional line conductor that said he had been hit by a projectile, and the second conductor on amtrak 188 said she heard the main engineer saying

his locomotive had been hit as well, and we know inspectors have gone back and looked at the tapes to see if that corroborates with what the secondary conductor reported and what they found may surprise our viewers, so we will talk about that. >> always good to see you, and thank you.
