when they stop for something to eat. >> reporter: he would have preferred we went straight into is the stadium. hanging around outside looking for sandwiches did not make him happy. >> looking for dinner in a restaurant near the stadium someone suspicious catch's his eye. you noticed something strange when you went to the bathroom. you noticed a man that didn't seem right to you. >> translator: what troubled me was his behavior. he didn't move normally. he was not at ease. looking around like that, looking around very rapidly. >> he entered the rest room to find a second man acting strangely. >> reporter: >> translator: i saw the second person and i thought maybe there was a fight going on between the one outside and the one in the

people are sitting down to dinner. >> i was eating in a restaurant with a friend of mine. it was really busy. it was a friday night in paris. >> at 9:25 p.m. investigators say abdul is in a black car as it pulls up to the restaurant and let's out two attackers. >> all of a sudden we heard huge gun shots and lots of glass coming through the window so we ducked on to the floor with all of the other diners and we heard numerous more gun shots coming through the window and shards of glass were hitting people lying down on the floor. >> in seconds the gunmen spray the cafes with bullets and then drive away leaving 15 people dead, ten seriously injured. back at the stadium, a bodyguard

a shocking attack. a black car, police and ambulances on the scene.

in january 2015 patrick ran into the offices of charlie hebdo where he once worked. >> translator: i came in and all my colleagues were on the floor. there were four seriously wounded and the others were already dead. >> a doctor was one of the first to arrive. >> translator: what was unbelievable was that we were walking on the bullet casings which were all overhe t floor. it smelled like candles and gunpowder and there was a thick smoke. >> ten months later on november 13th he is among those practicing how to respond to future terrorist attacks, attacks like the one that struck charlie hebdo. >> so we trained ourselves with simulation exercises with the police, firefighters and hospitals. we told ourselves there could be an attempt anywhere in paris

with gun fire and explosions. >> just hours later that exercise becomes a sickening reality. 9:30 p.m., paris. at the soccer stadium two terrorists have detonated their vests and bla still can't find his son ryan, what was that fear like not knowing where your son was. >> translator: i went to save the woman before saving my son. i don't regret it but i asked myself what would i have done if i didn't have my son. if ryan was no longer here, what kind of life would i have. >> tell us about looking for your son and what it was like when you finally found out he was okay? >> translator: when i found him, my heart was filled with joy. all the pressure i'd felt just fell away when i found him.

>> you know your father loves you, right? he had just been part of a bomb going off. all he thought about was you. what does that mean to you? >> translator: well, there are no words to describe that. i don't know. there are no words. >> it is just after 9:30 p.m. when investigators say the black car they believe carries the attackers pulls up to the cafe. this surveillance video from daily mail.com shows the moment a normal friday turns tragic. bullets flying and everyone inside ducking for cover. >> translator: i got a call from one of my colleagues who informed me that shots and explosions had just taken place in paris. so i immediately got on my motorcycle and returned to the

hospital. >> outside the terror continues. a gunman approaches and aims at a woman lying on the ground. he pulls the trigger and then a miracle. his gun jams and she scrambles to safety. >> translator: it was like i was in a film, in an american movie. everything was broken. >> there was a girl that took a bullet there that came out the other side and her friend had just a little scratch above the shoulders. we had only blood, we didn't have any deaths. >> but across the street the gunmen kill five people, wound eight. the attacks strike at the heart of the city. the cafes of paris are the french capitals living room. >> you talk, you drink, you

smoke, you laugh, you live. that's it. and nothing can happen. >> but this night something is happening, something unthinkable. 10 men are moving through paris in teams killing anyone they can. most of the terrorists are young and european born. their sixth target is a restaurant called brie keep. >> it's right in front which is about i'd say 25 feet from the restaurant which is really a few steps. >> he is carrying groceries into his apartment building when the shooting starts. >> the shot maybe lasted like i'd say less than two minutes, 1 1/2 minute, something like that. >> he rushes across the street. >> it was a scene of chaos and everybody was so badly hurt like i saw a woman half of her head

was missing at the back and there was a fireman who rushed in to try to grab her to see if there was someone under her because three people were piled up, to see if the people under were still alive. >> this is the deadliest attack so far leaving more than two dozen dead or injured. >> there was half a beer that stayed all night long on the table and with somebody dead beside, so it was like -- like, you know, a tragic painting of something like frozen in time. >> for him and doctors across the city it's far worse than anything they could have imagined. he's helping set up 60 surgery rooms across the city to treat what he calls gastly war wounds. >> translator: why do we use the word war? because they are using weapons

of war and they kill everybody. >> the killing is far from over. the team of cafe killers soon arrives at the cam toir voluntarily tier. there time there are no gun shots. instead ab ra heem enters the cafe wearing a suicide vest and detonates. in this video two men are trying to help the wounded. one of them is believed to be a nurse, david. >> translator: i saw this man and i laid him on the floor. there was nothing special about him, he was just unconscious, but i noticed on the side of his body there was an enormous hole, a large hole on his side. >> but david says this man is no innocent victim. >> translator: when i ripped his

t-shirt i saw wires. i saw blood and bolts on the ground. >> david is performing cpr on the suicide bomber. >> translator: at that exact moment when i realized when he was, the emergency services arrived. i realized then that by performing cpr i could have been killed too. i still think about it. >> a coordinated attack by a team of terrorists driving unhindered through the streets of paris, six cafes, 15 minutes, dozens dead or wounded. at the same time others in the terror cell have struck the national stadium and there is one more target, another part of life in paris. next -- >> everybody was dancing. everyone was smiling.

so many attacks, so many dead, so many questions. why paris? how did the plotting terrorists go unnoticed? and who were they? some of the answers come the day after in an isis statement claiming responsibility calling paris a capital of abomb nations and per vashs. then days later, this video. >> we are saying to european countries we are coming with car bombs and explosives. don't think you are safe. i swear to god you will drink

from the cups of death. >> investigators quickly identify several of the attackers and some of them are no surprise to this belgium newspaper reporters and blogger who has followed more than 1,000 social media accounts of radicalized belgiums. >> this is one i was facebook friends. >> under a false name he became facebook friends with one of the suicide bombers. >> this was the page on which in july 2015 he called a promise, followers at home to commit attacks in the west. i got a few pictures of him on which he posts with weapons clearly taken in syria. >> he was part of what investigators believe was an international isis cell hell bent on terrorizing western

europe. >> most of the cell was composed of french citizens who traveled to syria and fought together in syria. >> several of the terrorists were known to european and u.s. intelligence agencies, yet they were able to move easily between syria and europe. how easy was it for these men to move back and forth from syria to france to belgium? >> obviously it was easy for many reasons, but most importantly because of the weak boarders we have currently in europe. >> one of the paris attackers abdelhamid abaaoud made no secret of being in syria, appearing in several videos. admittedly there is no joy in spilling blood although from time to time it's nice to see the blood of infidels. >> that last trace of him had

been in january of 2015 where they located him in greece thanks to a cell phone that he was using to communicate with plotters in belgium. >> a u.s. department of homeland security assessment called abdelhamid abaaoud the purported leader of a belgium group that had amassed a large cashe of illegal weapons including hand guns, ammunition and materials to make explosives. abdelhamid abaaoud was plotting a major attack that was thwarted when police raided safe houses in belgium. in that raid a fire fight left two alleged plotters dead, a third was arrested. but abdelhamid abaaoud slipped out of greece undetected. >> he escaped the international dragnet and appears to have returned to syria.

>> he bragged about it in a magazine. >> in that interview abdelhamid abaaoud said my name and picture were all over the news yet i was able to stay in their homeland, plan operations against them and leave safely when doing so became necessary. just nine months later abdelhamid abaaoud plays a leading role in terrorizing paris, seen on a subway security camera during attacks. >> he was the guy on the ground orchestrating the plot in touch with several of the plotters of that night notably with one of the stadium attackers. >> later that night abdelhamid abaaoud is seen near the deadliest attack. >> he was then spotted by a witness outside the bataclan theater before the end of that siege speaking in to his cell phone using a hands free set

appearing to give orders, perhaps to the plotters inside while that attack was still ongoing. >> in the aftermath of the attacks as he did in greece abdelhamid abaaoud avoids capture. next, the desperate search for him and two more deadly attacks. i am rich. in my gentleman's quarters, we sip champagne and peruse my art collection, which consists of renaissance classics and more avant-garde pieces. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers.

nightfall in paris just days it after the attacks. the search is on for those responsible when police receive a tip that one of the attackers abdel hamat abaaoud is still in paris. not only do they know he's at the center of these attacks but they fear he may have more planned. the tip places abaaoud in the paris suburb and authorities head there and zero in on a building. it's an apartment building where one lives with his partner and his baby >> translator: it was 3:00 in the morning and we were in bed and it was my partner who woke me up to tell me she heard gunfire. >> just then a bullet burst through the window.

>> translator: so my first reflection was to take the baby from his crib and get as far away from the windows and even lie down on the ground. we lay on the ground and tried to comfort from the babe who had been woken up suddenly and had started to cry. >> breaking news tonight. french police confirm to cnn that there is an ongoing police rate in st. denis >> translator: there were at least three hours of continuous exchanges. during three hours all we heard was gunfire, explosions, gunfire, explosions. that was the most traumatizing and worrysome part. it is a fierce battle with grenades and thousands of rounds being fired. then -- >> translator: there was one explosion. bigger than the grenades we heard.

>> a suicide vest detonates. at around 8:45 we heard a knock at the dore and they said police open up and then they started to help us leave, and while we were leaving they protected us with their bodies because the shooting was still going on. when the shooting finally stops, all police find is devastation. >> there was complete carnage. body parts everywhere. that made it very difficult to identify who had actually been inside or how many have been inside. >> we have major breaking news. the mastermind so-called, really just a planner, but he was important here in paris, the man who planned the attacks last friday confirmed as dead. his body found after this intense raid in st. denis wednesday morning. >> it is the news investigators hoped to hear.

abaaoud is dead. so are the three bombers from the stadium. three more at the bataclan and one, ibraham abdeslam inside, but other suspects are still on the run, including salam abdeslam, ibrahim's brother, who flees the night of the attacks, and though the core he's in is stopped three times at police checkpoints. he is never detained and crosses the border into belgium. >> they didn't know who he was yet. >> exactly, exactly. he was not suspected at the time. >> this is salam abdeslam as a gas station near the belgian border the morning after the attacks. the investigation keeps looping back to belgium. why belgium? >> belgium has been used in this specific case as a hub. >> a hub where investigators believe that the attacks were directed by men in belgium on

the phone with the attackers in paris. >> all the logistics we know, most of it at least was conceived and planned and organized from belgium and by belgians. the explosive belts, we know they were belt in belgium. the cars used by the terrorists were in belgium. >> investigators began to unravel the terrorist network. four months later police raid an apartment in brussels and kill mohammedal qaed, a man who helped plan the attack. two men escape and abdeslam's fingerprints are found inside. within days abdeslam is located and captured alive but it is too late to stop the next attacks. terrorists detonate two bombs at the brussels airport.

>> we saw glass, ceiling coming down and smoke on everything. >> an hour later another explosion. this time at a packed subway station in the heart of brussels. >> i felt an explosion and the train stopped in its tracks, the lights went out and the power went out and everybody dropped to the ground. they were screaming, but i knew immediately and i know others around me recognized this as a terrorist attack. >> it is the same terror cell that struck paris and the same sickening story. another country in shock mourning their dead, praying for the wounded and searching for one bomber who managed to escape, mohamed abrini. >> he was friends with the abdeslam brothers when they were growing up. he's believed to have spent some

time in syria and to have returned to belgium the summer of 2015. >> abrini returned a fully radicalized isis operative. seen at a gas station with salam abdeslam two days before he allegedly drove one of the cars in the paris attacks, and seen strolling through the brussels airport with a bomb. >> the five-month terrorist manhunt is over. belgian officials say they have arrested at least two terror suspects connected to the paris and brussels attacks. >> police locate and capture mohamed abrini, but the questions remain. how many more isis operatives are out there and how does europe ever return to normal? >> i'm enraged in fact. >> you're enrageded? >> yes. >> because they took us that moment which is very important.

>> the terrorists don't want to just take lives. they want to take a way of life. >> exactly. >> yes parisiennes are determined to return to the stadium, the concert hall and the cafes, determined to take back the city they love. soon after the attacks using social media they share photos of themselves out at the cafes with the #tousaubistro, everyone to the bar. >> that was resistance, you know. >> sure. >> the new resistance is to a drink, alcohol, whatever on the terrace outside. >> in the aftermath of the attacks french authorities promised to get better on every level, more forces, better training, better information-sharing but nothing will ever erase the pain and loss in paris in brussels or

erase the fear of what might come next. new questions tonight about the worst terror attack in this country since 9/11, plus trump and clinton go head to head on money and god. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. we're learning more tonight about the brutal orlando rampage massacre, rampage shooting. investigators say the gunman was inside the pulse nightclub hours before the attack, leaving and then returning two hours later, but we don't know where he was or what he did during that time. meanwhile on the campaign trail, hillary clinton hits donald trump where he lives, money. >> we cannot put a pso
