well over the past year. the tech stocks this year. >> amazon ceo is the richest man in the world. $90 billion. >> thanks for joining us. i'm christine romans. >> "new day" starts right now. this is cnn breaking news. >> here we are once again in downtown manhattan. this of course right in the shadow of the freedom tower. this is right where 9/11 struck us. now we have the deadliest successful, if you want to call it, attack since 9/11. another day with a perfect sky destroyed by terror. we now know eight people lost their lives. argentine nationals, belgian national. about a dozen hurt. this situation ended with a murderous, terrorist ramming

into a school bus. kids were hurt on that bus. luckily, they survived. the city, to be honest with you, i don't know how to describe for how to people feel. for it to be in the wake of 9/11 and to bring back the freshness of the panicked calls of those who didn't know what was going on, couldn't reach their loved ones, who had loved ones at that school. the scale is different. the destruction is different. but the feeling is the same. as you will hear this morning, so many are left with the same questions. can you avoid something like this? is this just part of normal life now even here in one of the safest cities in the shadows of one of the safest places in the world after what happened on 9/11. a lot of things are brought back. a lot of new questions as well about the man who did these murders, about him doing it in the name of terror, how it can

be prevented going forward. troubling questions that often don't find satisfying answers. let's start with what we know happened here in new york city yesterday afternoon on halloween. jean cassares has the facts >> reporter: chris, this is the worst terror attack in new york city since 9/11. 8 people lost their lives, 11 injured. we are so close to the world trade center. >> we have multiple casualties, mass casualty situations here. >> reporter: terrifying moments in downtown manhattan. >> we need traffic shut down from the 14th street on the west side of the highway. >> reporter: the carnage ending blocks from the world trade center. >> i see people running, screaming, multiple gunshots,

one after the other. >> reporter: the suspect, saipov, was shot in the stomach and remains hospitalized. a law enforcement source says a note was found near the truck saying the attack was done in the name of isis. >> no evidence suggests a wider plot, a wider scheme. we will be vigilant. >> reporter: saipov, a native of uzbekistan, came to the united states in 2010. in 2013, he married a young woman also from uzbekistan in ohio. the occupation listed on his marriage license, truck driver. law enforcement sources tell cnn saipov is connected to a residence in tampa, florida but most recently lives in paterson, new jersey. saipov worked for them for the past six months and passed their background check. the company says they are cooperating with authorities. saipov was arrested in missoui

in 2016 after failing to appear in court for a traffic violation. police say saipov rented the pickup truck from this home depot store in new jersey. just before carrying out the attack. at 3:05 p.m., the truck entered the bike path, driving south along new york city's river front on the west side of lower manhattan, plowing into cyclists and pedestrians for nearly a mile. >> i see two gentlemen laying right there in the bike lane with tire marks across their body and you can tell they're not here no more. >> reporter: coming to a halt after crashing into a school bus. he ran from the truck, bran dishing who guns. >> he was screaming in the street. he looked frustrated, panicked, confused. >> reporter: police later

discovering that saipov was holding a pellet and paintball gun. he was shot by a 28-year-old nypd officer. one world trade center and empire state building lighting up in red, white, blue tuesday night. the city's halloween parade going on as planned with tighter security. >> new yorkers are strong, resilient. and our spirit will never be moved by an act of violence, an act meant to intimidate us. >> and we are learning a little more about the victims in this case. five of those that were filled were citizens of argentina here in new york city to celebrate their 30th high school reunion. another victim who lost their life was a belgian national. chris? jean is, thank you for the reporting. part of the reunion party was among the injured. we will learn more about the

people victimized here. some are believed to self-evacuate. they got out but they got hurt. just imagine living through a moment like this once you realize what it is. we will take you through what we know about the victims here. we have the intelligence component and the investigative component. we have it all covered for you. shimon prokupecz is in d.c. we have phillip mudd, cnn intelligence and terror analyst, and james gagliano, investigating this on the federal level for many years. lucky for us, a law enforcement analyst. phil, i heard you last night. this lays out pretty flat to you. how do you see it? >> don't rush to judgment here. you see the public perspective, that he wants not what you have. he is a foreigner from central asia.

there must be terrorism. i want to look at the first layer of this. >> and he leaves a note. >> which the reporting is that was supposedly in english and said i'm doing this as a supporter of isis. i know there is a whole debate about what that expression is supposed to mean versus how it is used by the terror guys. >> i need to know a lot. drug and mental state, what his family says, employers say. he's been in the united states seven years. i'm just following the facts. i'm not putting a phrase or a term on this guy. give me a couple days to determine what the facts are. >> when they start off saying it's a terror investigation, do you think they're getting ahead of themselves? >> no. i'm 95% sure this is terrorism

case. if i talk to his family and they say, oh, he lost his job last year, he's estranged from his family. >> these are news choppers down here. there is no threat. the paintball gun and the pell elt gun, arms raised as he comes out of the truck, according to one of the eyewitnesss we will have on this morning. what does that mean to you? >> it means a lot. we know the paradigm has shifted, right? many of these attacks. go back to last year to june, the london attack. when they came out armed with knives they had fake explosives on. that is their way of facing m t martyrdom. this is a similar event. he was look to be engaged by a police officer. the most critical piece is the

interview with him. he came out of surgery last night.

>> as you pointed out, it is very, very visceral. there are going to be changes coming down. a number of them will be the barriers. we believe the subject had obviously stoked out the west side highway. >> there are barriers along that roadway. he picked a place where he could hop the curb. >> he knew where he could go 16 blocks unimpeded. >> how do you live life and not be affected by terror. it was sickening to see on google maps. i'm not blaming the platform. it comes off as new york city attack and shows you the whole path. it is is now denoted as that. it is a conspicuous absence. i'm not saying the murderer's

names. i don't think their identity has a lot of value to people in terms of notoriety. but what he can tell our investigators are who he is, what he represents and who he may have known. what do we know so far? >> we know he was living or had a residence in new jersey, paterson, not far from where this attack occurred. he has an address in tampa, florida. investigators and police have been there. they have been in new jersey. the fbi spent the night, and may still be at his home in new jersey. been interviewing family, people who know him, neighbors, trying to paint a picture really of what was going on in his life. that is going to be the key here. at this point they believe, authorities believe he acted alone. they are still going through his phones. they need to go through his computers and sort of build out what he was doing leading up to

this attack. was he somehow radicalized? was he watching vaas? we find up until the attacks sometimes suspects are watching videos. they become self-radicalized and then go and do these attacks. that's what the fbi is doing with nypd. police are supposed to hold a press conference at 11:00 a.m. down at police headquarters. >> is simone, thank you very much, pal. let me know throughout the show as you know things. you will. you're one of the precious few who still has the kind of contacts who will get information in the moment. let us know when you get it. >> phil, they didn't want to release the name. they didn't want to say what hospital he was in. not unusual. there was a cageyness to this. what does that identify to you? >> let me make sure people aren't trying to get in the room. and releasing the name is more

significant in my intelligence world. i want to go to the participants and talk to people. i can't assume from moment one he's acting alone. i don't want to spook anybody f. they're not confident it's the guy living next door, their roommate at some point, the husband, i don't want to spook them. when i go there, if i cannen sure they will stick around, they're still there. if there was a co-conspirator, they may run. >> the location, of course new york city. jttf right there. state police headquarters over there. yet this guy ask just able to rent a truck and do this. the biggest thing i noticed yesterday was disappointment.

not shock. not the bone-chilling fear of what's next. just disappointment. like god, man, he was all over this place and still able to do it. >> where is the better? where is the safe? >> you pointed out earlier, new york city is the safest large city in the world. it truly is. that's a tftment to the 1,200 fbi. >> this doesn't happen on a regular basis. >> absolutely. bad guys have to get it right one time. john miller spock about this yesterday at the press conference. there's at a lot of buildup here. after the bombing of the federal building in 1995 we began tracking people purchasing large amounts of diesel fuel and fertilizer because they are the

components of the bomb. u-haul, ryder, home depot. he we understand this is the new paradi paradigm. >> alisyn, back to you in the studio now. people who know trucks will look at this differently. this was heavy. i have to tell you, the people you feel for the most are the victims. but the eyewitnesses also. what he did in that truck, the images i have seen here, i don't think many of them have been released to the public. arguably, that's a good thing. now you have part of this population who has seen something nobody should have to see. >> oh, my gosh, yes. it is horrifying all the way around. the scars, physical and mental,

will last. the parade, the halloween parade went on. new yorkers still came out to the streets. they didn't hide in their apartments. new yorkers are strong. americans have become strong amidst all of this. so obviously we'll be talking about that as well is. so great to have you down in lower manhattan. meanwhile, president trump has ordered increased vetting after this new york attack. whatst that mean? and he is rejecting steve bannon's line. joe johns has all of this. live at the white house. hi, joe >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. the president has his cabinet meeting scheduled and an intelligence meeting. we expect to see him on camera. the president has no official remarks here at the white house. though it would not be surprising if he has something

to say about this terror attack in his hometown. melan melania, first lady, was in new york at the time of the attack and even tweeted about it. president trump responding to the deadliest terror attack in the u.s. since he took office tweeting that he ordered homeland security to step up our already extreme vetting program but providing no additional information about what the order means. in the immediate aftermath of the attack, the president sent a series of tweets calling the suspect sick and deranged and saying we must not allow isis to enter our country. the suspect is from uzbekistan, not included in any part of the travel ban. two former trump campaign aides

charged and a third plead gui y guilty. white house lawyer ty cobb saying the president decided to stick with a strategy of cooperating with mueller for now despite being urged by taking a harder line at steve bannon. one of the presidents closest aides will be interviewed mid-november by mueller's team. president trump ignoring questions about former foreign policy adviser george papadopolous after he pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia during the campaign tkpwhrfplt what papadopolous did was lie. that's on him, not the campaign. >> reporter: they are distancing the president from him after he called his former adviser a low-level volunteer. >> he was a coffee boy. he had nothing to do with the

campaign. >> reporter: paul gates and manafort both on house arrest. failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts. he traveled to mexico, china, ecuador with a phone and e-mail account registered under a fake number. gates frequently changed banks, opening 55 accounts with 13 financial constitutions and both were frequent travel stories cyprus where the banks are based. >> we could see them in federal court here in washington, d.c. as early as tomorrow. if convicted, they could face upwards of 120 yea0 years in pr up next, we have an eyewitness to the terror.

this is a man who watched the suspect is's rampage. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied.

9/11. you're looking at video right now. it is still an active police investigation. a vehicle was involved in this mass murder. a rental vehicle from a home depot acquired just before the attack by a man in police custody and supposedly talking, very important to investigators. the lives of the victims. are - authorities believe some may have is self-evacuated, hit and left because of the fear. it was about a mile stretch of a place that was set up as an oasis here in new york city. this west side park. these bike paths. a dream for people to get some air, some green. this manu this. he jumped the curb and drove

about a mile. he was being pursued by an unmarked vehicle we're told by authorities and according to reports. but they couldn't stop him. and he was taking out people until he came into contact with a school bus right here. one of the best schools in america. he hit a school bus right there, hurt a couple of kids on the bus, a couple of adults as well. that's where his path ended. he got out. he was holding two weapons. people didn't know what they were. arms raised. he read something. there was a note saying why he did this. it was for the worst reasons. he took off and luckily was intercepted by a police officer from the first precinct, hit in the abdomen. the experience of living through this, in this city, such a symbol to the world, 9/11.

world trade center in the shadow of it. this is supposed to be one of the safest places in the world. it raises questions what does safe even mean anymore? we spoke to someone who literally had this vehicle bearing down on him. his name is christian wagner. here's what he had to say. >> christian, i'm glad you're okay. >> thank you. >> so we were talking about the long life that you've had from amsterdam to california. now you're here in new york. how did you find yourself on this path? >> i was moving apartments and i needed to get a computer display, another one for my job at home. >> so you were just taking a stroll. >> taking a stroll, beautiful fall day. walking down chandler avenue. school is he letting out. i'm surrounded by kid, working

my way through, getting closer to the bike path. i hear this noise. i look down the bike path and i see this flat-bed truck barreling down. i wasn't sure if it was on the bike path or the road. it was coming really fast and hitting things. and i saw the car chasing us. undercover car with lights chasing it. the car was heading directly for me. then a bus started coming. that car hits the bus, went up in the air a little bit and flopped down. i started running because it was coming right at me. the bus cut it off. >> toupg the bus driver was aware or blind-sided? >> i doubt it. you don't expect a car to come barreling down the bike path. >> in your estimation, do you think the guy in that truck wanted to hit the bus?

>> i don't think so. that would be so random. he started a long ways back apparently. i just saw is the last 10 session of his run in did you see the guy get out of the truck? >> actually, what happened, it hit the bus. and i was running away because i was in the path. and then i turned around and i saw the car had stopped at that point. so i turned around and thought i should take a picture in case someone needs documentation or something. >> what did you think it was? >> a freak accident. actually, what i thought is that the guy in the truck was running away from the police, that he had done something or was in a stolen truck or something like that. i thought it was a police chase. >> did you ever see the guy? >> yeah. of the truck hit the ground again, i turned around, took a pick of the truck. i saw the guy standing next to the truck after i had my phone. he was slowly raising his arms. then i saw a gun in each hand.

so i turned around and called out gun. there were all of these guns there. the kids started screaming gun, gun, gun. i started running. they were running. but people were kind of frozen. people were turning around looking at that. i said get out of here. i went around the corner. stand around the corner. >> you saw what appeared to be weapons in his hands. >> right. >> did you hear him saying anything? >> i couldn't hear anything. >> did he make movement while you were there? >> just raising his arms. i looked at the guns and i thought those are strange looking guns. they don't look like any guns i have ever seen. >> he had a paintball gun and pellet gun. >> that's what i heard later on. i thought they were e very strange looking guns. >> did you take off? >> i took off.

i waited around the corner. i just left at that point. then i heard the shots right after i went around the corner. it was kind of hard to tell how many shots because it ricochets. i heard the shots. at first i thought the guns he had was sophisticated fast-acting guns. >> fortunately, there was a cop from the first precinct right there who intercepted him as he was running away. here we are downtown manhattan. going on with police.a thing - people were back on the path they were allowed to be on. how much panic stays with you? what does it mean this happened to you? >> yeah, it's -- you know, i've been in tough situations before in my life. i've travel around the world,

and i've seen tough situations before. but this is a situation completely man made. there's no reason for this. it's completely man made through religious fervor. you look at that, how could you ever fight that unless, you know, people that are in charge of religion get together and say, hey, this is wrong. somebody has to stand up and say this is wrong. it can't go on like this. in a way you feel powerless and in a way you feel you have hope for humanity and life goes on. it's hard to place it. in a lot of ways you feel powerless. in other ways you feel maybe i'm part of the problem. i think after you walk away from something like that, you examine

yourself and say what's my involvement with this kind of thing? >> why was he in that truck? >> why did i get away? why did other people get hit? you go through all of that stuff. but it's very sad. all of these people who got hurt and died, it's horrible. it's not necessary. it's out of humanity to do that stuff. >> it makes you think about what matters. you've got your wife, you're here. thank you for talking to us. what else can we do? enjoy the day, right? think about those who are gone. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> alisyn, to you. >> chris, thank you very much. so here's the latest if you're just joining us on the new york city terror attack last night. eight people are dead, 11 others hurt after this man rammed a truck into pedestrians and bicyclists along the city's riverfront bike path and that extends for many miles but he drove for nearly a mile down it

killing people. this is the deadliest attack since 9/11. president trump responding to the attack in a series of tweets. the president saying, quote, i've just ordered homeland security to step up our already extreme vetting program. being politically correct is fine but not for this. let's bring in our panel and discuss this. we have analyst john avalon and editor for real clear politics a.b. stoddard. nice to see both of you. as we said, the scope is completely different and we all our attitudes and experience have changed since 9/11 when we couldn't have imagined what happened on that day and now, sadly, we've come to understand that these things happen. john, you were there on 9/11. for president trump's tweets, he said the very first tweet he sent out yesterday at 5:30 p.m. in new york city looks like another attack by a very sick

and deranged person. law enforcement is following this closely. not in the usa! well, it did happen in the usa. >> it did. this is not exactly drawing inspiration from churchill, but the president tweets as he does. leadership is to try to unite the nation, to show resolve and a resolute sense of resilience. new york city embodies resilience because we have experienced 9/11. i worked for rudy giuliani during that time and was proud to do so. this is a totally different kind of attack. this is one of these decentralized attacks that takes a truck on a bike path, kills innocent civilians. more experience within europe than we do here but the key differentiator is the nypd didn't shoot to kill necessarily. they got him alive, so we have the suspect. that's going to be very valuable in getting inside the mind of evil and understanding more about his context, his contacts, and what he was thinking. >> so when president trump tweets these things, i'm not

sure the outcome is to make people feel calmer and more comforted. one of the things he tweeted, we just read it -- homeland security steps up our program, being politically correct is fine -- since when? but not for this. is this a policy change? >> right, well, i think he is trying to show resolve. he wants a solution and he and the administration have been given credit, they should take credit for the fact they've demolished much of the caliphate of isis and that's significant. it doesn't mean they're not going to be splintered all around the world trying to still retain their power through these individual attacks. and another time it would be an incredible coup that he survived a shot to the abdomen and will live to tell. he may not take us to his leader. most of the time these are

independent actors and for whatever reason especially this new advent of using cars instead of bombs is something that's come here. it is a continuous threat and what president trump has trouble dealing with and what people criticize president obama for saying is too much of this. we're powerless. >> the criticisms of the two presidents are on the flip side with president obama it was an extension of the idea this is a perpetual problem. it's extreme vetting that may not be rooted in actual policy. but this happened. we're going to have to deal with it. but i think simply saber rattling is not sufficient. >> let's talk about all the developments that have come out about the russia investigation, in particular paul manafort. he was shadier than people knew! >> how is that possible? >> because now in the court documents we know things like he had three different passports.

with three different numbers. he had attempted to get ten different over the course of ten years. he had traveled to ecuador, china and mexico using a fake e-mail address, fake phones, fake names. he had money stashed in cypress, the grenadines. >> i didn't realize that applying for ten passports was on the menu. i did not know that was possible. >> i didn't know you could have three different passports with different numbers. that's a flaw. >> and i'm going to say probably not applying with the spirit if not the letter of the law. everything about this is totally sha shady. it seems to be someone whose primary job seems to be moving and laundering money, which is the clear allegation, and the person you would call to run a campaign at a critical number. >> i sense irony. >> that's a risk he took and succeeded in taking with all these passports and different

identities and everything, that he would step into the job of manager. >> president trump believes in extreme vetting except for his staff. >> that is clear. that is clear. >> that is clear. i don't know if there was anything for president trump or his staff to know this although there were whispers he was doing something fishy. i don't know they could have known all of this but should they have gone a little deeper before making him chairman of the campaign? >> yes. >> they were in close proximity and everybody knew that manafort, because of his previous consulting work for people like other shady dictators was kind of a shady character. he sort of was reanimated for the purposes of this campaign. just like you vet vice president candidates, that is a thorough deep vetting. you don't do that for every member of your staff but you should at least inquire. and if you don't, you're asking

for a problem. basically living like a triple life trying to skirt international law. >> lieutenant flynn had a certain connection, they were willing to overlook that. he made him national security adviser. look where we are today. it is clear candidate trump was willing to overlook and president trump, people's backgrounds and not apply the scrutiny that you should apply when it comes to a job in the white house. >> so today picks will be interviewed by robert mueller's team. hope hicks has been loyal and with donald trump for many years. is part of the trump organization. she never speaks publicly. she is a dutiful -- >> she is the communications director who does not speak. >> that's interesting. but it will be interesting to know what she has to offer. >> yeah. she has been incredibly loyal. she came or the of out of

nowhere in his campaign circle, was elevated to campaign director without a significant amount of experience in the field except that the attribute is loyalty. if she doesn't take the fifth there will be a lot of information she has. >> alisyn, there's a lot of concern about this drafting of a false statement about the june 16th meeting in june of 2017 on the plane ride back from hamburg when the president actually coming up with a reason for this meeting and hope hicks was in on that meeting. she has a story to tell, and would be best advised to tell everything she know. >> a.b., john, thank you very much. back down to lower manhattan where chris is reporting after the terror attack from yesterday. chris? all right, so, alisyn, this

is the deadliest terror attack since 9/11 to hit new york city. there's a helplessness because this is the place that was supposed to be the safest. we're in the shadow of the new world trade center, the joint terrorism task force, the police headquarters that's right here, and yet somebody with a truck was able to do so much death and destruction. so on the flip side for investigators, there are new indications of what they have to look out for. what is a soft target? what are these vehicle attacks really about? how can you access them? and where this man was from is a part of the world we have not focused on when it comes to the origin originalation of terror.

all right. eight lives lost.

a dozen, maybe more, injured. all by a guy with a truck. he hit new york city. the deadliest since 9/11. and it happened in one of the safest assumed places in the world. that's the world trade center. you have the joint terrorism on task force that's right here. you have police headquarters there. the police presence here on a regular basis is overwhelming and yet it was able to happen in such simple yet terrible fashion. what do we do about this threat? put up the map of what we've seen with what you could call vehicle borne attacks. we've seen them all over the world. now there's a reason that we're seeing them. an evolution and a threat. an evolution in the call. there's a positive in this and a negative in terms of what it means, in terms of the terror threat. we have two great guests to break down this threat and what

to do about it. we have paul crookshank, with ctc sentinel and michael weiss who is a cnn national security analyst. michael is with me right now. when we talk about the vehicles and the map is there, we've seen them all over the place, threes a plus and a minus. you could do it even here. he hopped a curb, killed eight people. could have killed more if he hadn't rammed into a school bus right down the street from us, and yet it is also proof of the deterioration of their ability to organize, get real weapons and do things. i'm talking about isis and isis-inspired types. is that right? >> more or less. pulling off the spectacular on a scale of 9/11 is far more difficult, the planning, the months of planning that goes into that is not something that an organization that has just lost its defactor capital is probably looking to do. i put an important copy on calf yot on that, using rudimentary

devices to maim and kill, the spokesman issued that in 2014. and i stress that because the northern kurdish city the coalition went to war in syria to reclaim. there's a misconception these foreign attacks bear some directed relationship to isis' losses on the battlefield. i would argue the emphasis on foreign operations increases as the caliphate crumbles. they have always had this objective, to export jihad to the west even when it was zarqawi. he tried to perpetrate two attacks in jordan. one was aborted. the other was a successful hotel bombing which the jordanians consider their 9/11. there are attacks that al qaeda and iraq was planning in europe going back now 15 years. so this isn't really anything new but, yes, the adaptation, if

you will, knowing that counter terrorism officials are more on guard, populations are more inured to this threat. anyone who can get behind the wheel of a car and mow over people. >> life is going on. the aspect of terrorism is to scare you out of your norths. we had the halloween parade. people were out. there's a numbness. that takes us to the aspect of who did this. and why they did this. what do we know so far? >> we know they pledge allegiance to isis. we don't know a lot more beyond that, when this individual was radicalized. most of the foreign born violent extremists after coming into the united states according to a dhs assessment released earlier this

year so quite possible radicalized inside the united states. did he have any ties to any extremist networks in the united states where there was a major counterterrorism investigation launched in new york city by the fbi in 2014 into a group of central asians trying to join isis in syria and iraq who were discussing shooting president obama, launching an attack on coney island. one of the things authorities will be doing is looking whether there's any connectivity to any past terror activity on u.s. soil. they'll be also looking at the potential overseas and whether this individual made any trips back to uzbekistan, a hotbed of jihadi activity since the 1990s. there's a repressive dictatorship there which has created a pressure cooker environment in which you've seen growth in jihadi extremism. they have all left uzbekistan, being pushed out and many of

them up to 1,500 now in syria and iraq with groups like isis, a string of attacks and plots in the west in which you've had an uzbek connection, central asian connection including the st. petersburg metro, the attack in russia. an attack in april. and so a lot of concern about jihadi propaganda over the internet. the group in new york, the fbi are investigating were active on that social media. >> right. we don't know the connection of this guy's ethnicity and intentions yet. we know he's been here a long time. i started off in ohio. bounced to florida, new jersey and did the deed here in new york city. now, michael, central asia will be a new geographical aspect to this discussion for the uninitiated.

to you makes perfect sense. >> they've been fighting an insurgency. there were two chechen wars. those who joined even before isis, al qaeda and in iraq which became isis. he said it was always these guys from the north caucuses, central asia, any of those coming in the most battle hardened, feared and respected. a group of chechen fighters called to raqqah to pay their respects since central headquarters and isis was so terrified they posted snipers on rooftops in case they attempted a coup. added to which the two most powerful war ministers, the last one reportedly killed by the
