arwa damon reports. >> reporter: reality transforms in an instant. the suicide bomber detonates. lives immediately lost. screams and wails of survivors. some in shock, others crying out in pain. a resident describes how frantic individuals arrived desperately searching for their loved ones. this was a gathering of mostly turkish activists for the -- eventually driving them out by leaving the town decimated. the tirkish government insinew insinuating this is the work of

isis. >> initial findings point to a suicide bomber in isis but it's it's hard to reach a judgment before investigation is concluded. isis does not only pose threat to syrian people but also turkey. >> reporter: the mood here is somber, investigators are continuing with their work well into the night. blood still staining the ground. it was only a matter of time before the violence in syria spilled over across the border. and this is not the first attack. but this strike in particular is raising a lot of questions, especially when it comes to how the turkish government is handling the threat posed by isis. arwa damon, turkey. a friend of the man who killed five u.s. servicemen in tennessee says he was not you enspired by isis. >> that friends tells cnn that mohammad youssuf abdulazeez

thought that the group is against islam. >> reporter: james petty considered mohammad youssuf abdulazeez a spiritual supporter in his conversion to islam. they hiked mountains played sports and slept over at abdulazeez's home. he says he never saw abdulazeez angry and the only conversations they had about radical islam was to oppose it. >> like isis, any terror groups like isis. >> what did he say? >> that it was a stupid group and against islam. and not to even think about going towards them. and i felt that it was kind of in the sense it was not i'm in the group and don't do like me but this is not the way you should be going towards. >> you felt that he truly believed in his heart at that moment that what isis is doing

was wrong? >> yes i am. >> petty describes abdulazeez as more american than he was and the self-described red neck muslim also liked to shoot guns. >> one day he said he had a gun and was showing me pictures on his phone and i'm like i never shot a gun before. and he wanted to know if i wanted to shoot that one. >> reporter: if there was achilles' heel in abdulazeez's pastñió3[%q was his marijuana use. they called him a pothead and he was trying to beat it. his parents were bothering him to make sure he wasn't smoking dope but it's that didn't make him depressed, it made him happy. in the last week when they saw him that he was the happiest he had ever seemed. drew griffin, cnn, chattanooga, back to you. now abdulazeez's attack on

the military has brought together veterans and civilians across the u.s. armed volunteers are standing guard outside recruiting offices like this one. a former marine decided to take the issue of safety into his own hands. >> this is highly controversial right now. abdulazeez murdered four marines and three of them served multiple tours of duty. they were from different parts of the united states but united in military service. a public memorial will be held for skip wells in georgia. he graduated from high school three years ago and joined the marines last year. and another topic in u.s. politics, donald trump has a wide lead among the republicans running for president. >> this story goes on and own absolutely explosive. some of thing in this poll comes

after trump's remarks over the weekend. he said arizona senator john mccain wasn't a war hero because he was captured during the vietnam war. >> now those comments came out around the same time this poll was taken. keep that in mind. but according to the abc news poll, 24% of voters surveyed support donald trump and it's almost double his closest rival. >> many are trying to parse what the poll numbers mean and if they are going to change again. but many say that trump's comments were offensive especially since he himself avoided the draft with a few deferments, actually. >> you have republicans and john mccain's son jumping to mccain's defense. >> he's not a war hero. >> reporter: donald trump is overtaking the republican presidential race. for that and everything else he

makes no apologies. >> i'm not a fan of john mccain. >> reporter: his spat with john mccain is escalating ever since he questioned whether the former p.o.w. in vietnam was a war hero. >> he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. >> reporter: jack mccain, the senator's son tweeted there are lines you do not cross. trump crossed one. he said that trump disparaged the service of all p.o.w.s. >> that's an inflammatory statement for someone who is trying to become the commander-in-chief of the united states military. >> do you think that is disqualifying? >> nothing is disqualifying. >> even this? >> even this. i hope his personality has shown through. whether that was an off handed commend or not, there has to be

soul searching. >> reporter: senator mccain took the high road. >> i think he mayo an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving their country. >> he lost. >> reporter: most republicans piled on trump and rallied to mccain's defense. >> this is a legitimate hero that has served his country in lots of ways. and mr. trump knows that. he should just apologize. >> it's not just absurd it's offensive and ridiculous and ieky0w do think it's a disqualifier as commander-in-chief. >> reporter: but one candidate didn't join in. ted cruz blamed the media. >> i recognize that folks in the press love to see republican on rob republican violence. you want me to say something bad about donald trump.

i'm not going to do it. >> reporter: voters we talked to new hampshire and north carolina were mixed. >> he is not qualified to be president and his candidacy is all about donald. >> he is fit to run for president but needs to watch what he is saying. >> reporter: the views of the voters are mixed. a sector is restless and angry and is happy to listen to someone who is far from politics as usual. and that's what donald trump is giving them more defiance that is dividing the g.o.p. >> you can see that division in the key papers. >> you can. >> the des moines register in iowa wants trump to drop out of the race alto9hr(t&háhp &hc er called him a feckless blowhard and goes on to say being electable is not the same as being qualified and trump has proven himself not only unfit to

hold office but unfit to stand on the same stage as his republican opponents. the best way donald trump can serve his country is by apologizing to mccain and terminating this ill-conceived campaign. we will hear more about that undoubtedly. more than 60 mayors are descend on the vatican for an event on climate change and human trafficking. >> you have california governor jerry brown and boston mayor marty walsh are expected to attend. the pope is expected to make a statement in about two and a half hours from now. he has proven himself to say exactly what he thinks and feels. as soon as that takes place we will bring it to you.

>> i thought she was like my best friend. i could tell her anything. one day she asked if i wanted to skip school and have fun, you know, so we went to this barbershop. she introduced me to these guys. >> reporter: sasha ray's new friend had just led her to the man who would eventually become her trafficker. >> we talked about how we were going to make money. how it was going to be easy. we weren't going to have to depend on nobody. it was all fun and good and stuff and so i fell for it. >> reporter: was there any kind of grooming process like when this first started? or it's just something that just happened and he was just expecting you to learn on the way? >> he slowly brought it on when we got closer he usually did it out of the back of the barbershop. and he had people that were with the post office mailmen came

. very historic moment for the united states and havana. you do hear

n cuba. the u.s. and cuba resumed diplomatic ties. >> parrilla spoke with john kerry later. >> i would argue that our policy for the last 50 years has been a miserable failure and made no difference in cuba. i believe having normal diplomatic relations gives us an opportunity to communicate our concerns about human rights or drug intradiction or environmental issues. >> i was there in the state department today. and the secretary of state of the u.s. john kerry and it was changeful, the cuban councillor was saying that cuba has gained in many ways and the u.s. has to give back guantanamo and for so

many decades of u.s. embargo. when he was asked by a correspondent about the freedoms in cuba and he said that freedom in cuba arrived in 1959. >> in havana the u.s. embassy was opened on monday. kerry will raise the american flag next month. we have a few new wrinkles to tell you about in the prison escape of joaquin "el chapo" guzman he escaped his cell through an elaborate tunnel a week ago. >> the pictures were incredible. officials now believe that his accomplices used a global positioning system to help with their plan. and as cnn reports, they may have even done a dry run at another prison. >> reporter: 14 months before joaquin guzman pulled off his

escape from a prison mexican newspaper snapped these photos of a tunnel leading to a prison in el chapo's home state of sinaloa. it was used in the escape of three inmates accused of trafficking weapons and drugs, at least one with ties to the sinaloa cartel. this 2014 jailbreak and this month's el chapo escape are similar. they started at construction sites and ended behind prison walls. this engine has worked on some of mexico's largest tunnelling projects and says digging such a precise path takes manpower and technology as well. >> the first thing was they must do is get the location and then start digging in that location with topographic equipment that

is so accurate. >> so el chapo had to do was find the exact coordinates of that shower and thewñ55ñ experts would do the rest? >> the easiest part of the dig probably came at the end. >> they have all the plans they could find the pipeline who goes right under the el chapo shower. >> and mexican authorities are interviewing the supervisor of the prison. investigators believe he may have given away unauthorized access to the prison plans. but he has been added to the list of seven prison employees connected with the escape. outgoing fifa president sepp blatter is setting up a special task force to deal with corruption and bribery allegations. >> before he could make that

announcement, a british prankster threw a stack of fake cash. blatter made it clear there is a lot heñf$cf wants to get done before his time is up. >> my duty and mission now is to defend the institution, fifa and not to defend myself. i can defend myself. i don't need help with that. but fifa and i'm happy today, the executive committee together with the confederation they have said, yes, president, we will help you. >> now blatter also announced his replacement will be announced in a special elegislation on february 26th. four of the six football confederations have asked him to consider running but he hasn't made a decision just yet. in china a top aide to former chinese president huh jintao is facing prosecution over alleged corruption.

authorities arrested ling jihua after expelling him from the communist party. >> accepting bribes and trading power for sex are some of the accusations against ling. the arrest comes amid xi jinping's crackdown on corruption. ivan watson joins us live from beijing with details on this. president xi jinping's anti-corruption sweep continues. what is ling jihua accused of doing? >> he's accused of violating communist party discipline and rules. he is accused of accepting enormous bribes through his family. he's accused of seeking benefits for his wife's businesses and then in a bit of a contradiction here he is accused of quote, committing adultery with a number of women and trading his power for sex.

so he has been under investigation since december but now stripped from the communist party and under arrest. he could have been described under president huh jintao as being a chief of staff. this is a formerly immensely powerful communist party officials at the top of the chinese pyramid of power brought down and facing perhaps life sentence or worse in chinese prisons as a result of this anti-corruption drive led by the current leader xi jinping. >> let's talk about that. ling was hu jintao's right hand man and observers wonder if it is more about xi jinping's consolidation of power than stamping out corruption. >> reporter: there have certainly be -- there's been speculation and suggestions and accusations from some observers this is more of a witch hunt and

an example of xi jinping going after rivals and basically trying to remove them. but the fact is that the anti-corruption drive is popular with many chinese who have seen the leadership in this country, top officials amass enormous wealth and corruption is something that he bangs on about. in the case of ling jihua, this is somebody who was behind the scenes a lot in the previous administration but he gained notoriety in 2012 when his son crashed a ferrari in beijing and ended up killing himself and severely injuring two women and it was very clear that any reports about this deadly accident were then scrubbed from the internet and from media reports as well. it's almost impossible to find a picture of this mangled ferrari.

that has become one of the many symbols for some chinese of the huge wealth that some of these so-called tigers in the communist party, the wealth they amassed for themselves and their families. another thing, his wife ran what was described as a non-governmental organization called youth business china. she was the founder of it. we have called a couple of the offices around the country and at least two of the offices say their offices have been suspended. perhaps another casualty in the anti-corruption drive that ended in her husband's arrest. >> ivan live in beijing, thanks. still to come british prime minister david cameron has a message for anyone even think about joining isis. >> if you are a boy they will strap bombs to your body and blow you up. if you are a girl they will enslave and abuse you.

>> i believe we have lost julia steers here who was in the capital there. a crucial election going on there as you know errol. the president there against everyone's wishes said he wanted to try and run for that third term. he has continued to run. the opposition has boycotted the election. they had violence overnight and the real fear now is that there is that risk of civil war breaking out in that country. we'll continue to update on that situation and make contact with julia again. >> many people are staying away from the polls because of the fear. so we'll want to watch the situation closely to see how the vote gets underway today. the british prime minister, david cameron is stepping up efforts to prevent the nation's youth to join terror groups. >> he announced new measures targeting the spread of

extremist ideologies on home soil. we have more on this new strategy. >> reporter: the masked military known as jihadi john is the poster boy for all that has gone wrong in britain's attempts to keep young muslims from turning to terror groups. a shy london teenager before he left for syria and became the masked murderer featured in the gruesome videos from isis. now britain's prime minister is vowing to crackdown on the extremist ideology that enables groups like isis. >> here's my message to any young person here in britain thinking of going out there. you won't be a valued member of a movement. you are cannon fodder for them. they will use you. if you are a boy, they will brainwash you, strap bombs to your body and blow you up. if you are a girl they will enslave and abuse you.

>> hundreds of british men and women are believed to have joined the terror group and others like it in syria and iraq. cameron is vowing to crack down on people who spew hate. in his speech he used the word disbeliever to make his point. >> this means confronting groups and organizations that may not advocate violence but do promote other parts of the narrative. if you say, yes, i condemn terror but the -- are inferior then you, too, are part of the problem. >> reporter: but cameron risks alienating british muslims many of whom feel targeted by british security services as they try to distance themselves from groups like isis.

and support for groups like isis is most prevalent online where extremism is hardest to tackle. that is how so many including these three schoolgirls from london were lured to isis last year. to those men and women cameron had this message. >> as long as injustice remains, you may feel there's no place for you in britain. but i want you to know that there is a pla you and i will do everything i can to support you. >> reporter: it may take more than a prime minister speech to win heardsts and minds and defeat extreme extremism. the greek government plans to vote wednesday on new reforms. the banks opened on monday for the first time in three weeks but withdrawals are limited to $450 a week. and greece has made billions of

payments to two of its major credit force the international monetary fund and the european central bank. >> but greece's former finance minister is unimpressed. he conceded that greece did in fact make mistakes in bailout talks but says most of the blame for the country's economic woes falls on its creditors. >> if you look at the way they have behaved from the very first day we assumed power on the 25th of january to last week or so i think that close inspection is going to reveal the truth of what i'm saying. they were far more interested in humiliating this government and overthrowing it or making sure it overthrows itself in terms of its policies than they were in an agreement that would, for instance, ensure that they would get most of their money back. >> what he is talking about there is many say last week's third bailout agreement now imposes ever tougher terms on

greece than the deal that was proposals just earlier this year. >> that moves to the mistakes as well. some say if they would have gone on earlier on the austerity measures wouldn't have been so intense. if you are cheating on your wife and 2 using the internet to do it hackers are threatening to name millions of members of a website committed to adultery, details on that after this. feeling intense knee pain? did you know it may be coming from being on your feet all day? dr. scholl's custom fit orthotic inserts are uniquely designed to provide immediate all day relief from knee pain.

fetishes all from people looking for sex who never dreamed that such data could get in the hands of hackers. >> this is a good example of what type of naiveness there is in the market around personal data. setting yourself up for blackmail and public humiliation. >> avid life media which owns ashley madison released a statement promising it has once again secured the site and removed any personally identifiable information about its users published online. the hackers may be trying to punish the cheating website which they say charges users a $19 fee to delete personal information that is not deleted. users almost always pay with credit cards. the hackers say ashley madison netted $1.7 million in revenue in 2014 just from the charges its customers pay to delete their data.

involved. we have a low on top of us that developed on the frontal boundary. that hangs out for a couple of months in fact. and we'll continue to see more heavy rain along that boundary with accumulations rivaling what we have seen in the last 24 to 48 hours. that means 100 to 300 millimeters of rainfall not out of question for the same area. that's going to be a big problem here. as we look to the east we are in typhoon season. i think we have one here. the latest advisory still has this as a tropical storm. i don't think is it a tropical storm any more. i think we have a typhoon. it is halola. i think it will make a run for japan in about five to six days. and we'll keep you posted. it has a lot of water to get through before it hits land masses. >> hopefully it weakens but that is not usually the case over bodies of water. ivan, thanks a lot.
