5:20 pm
at the time. his name is lars vilkes. and i understand in 2007 a l- baghdadi offered a 100,000 reward for his murder? >> well, yes, it was at the time al-qaeda faction and he was targeted and there was a reward on his head and that it never stopped. in the chat rooms and various statements made by jihadi organizations around the world. he was a target because of what he did in their view. what happened in paris, not only jihadi individuals that target him. but possibly individuals may have been selected by a command that isis has in europe that wants the cartoonist to be killed and to claim it and they
5:21 pm
will number the future at those activities. >> the population of copenhagen, will be 1.2 million approximately and 8000 jewish people in denmark and can most live in copenhagen and the surroundings. and the second shooting happen in the main synagogue in this area roughly two miles away. do you believe that there is possibly a connection between the two? obviously investigators are not making that connection at this point? >> i am not in the position to it link. it we need more information released by the security officials in denmark international. and what we have sewn a model that would be close and that would be the attack on charlie hebdo. and they were conducting that
5:22 pm
savage attack by the newspaper editors. and another individual hit the jewish target in paris. there is a standing order by isis to target the journalist who are the defender of sfrooe free speech and on the other hand cartoonist and attacking jewish centers in europe is not unusual. the link exists but the operational link we cannot make that position right now. >> here in america as we watch the pictures unfold. what should we pay attention to it anything like that happening here? >> look, jihaddist demonstrated they are operational on all continents from sid no to france and britain to canada and united states, many times. and in the the arab world. they demonstrated that they are targeted and they are executing
5:23 pm
and they have a standing order and should it be shells or organized networks or communication with al-qaeda or isis or on their own and meaning lone wolves. individual jihaddist there is a campaign to target the west and specifically those high symbolic targets with jewish xhurts or bloggers or activist or simple citizens. we have to work with the danish authorities and british and french. and level in the u.s. defense make sure we protect. >> the lone wolf attacks if in fact they were separate individuals, taking it upon themselves to listen to isis and do horrible deeds and shootings and killing people. can you tell us anymore about
5:24 pm
lars viowa lkes? i understand there are several attempts on his life. an american citizen was sentenced to ten years in prison for a failed attempt on his life? >> jiha di jane. he could be most targeted in the world and he has for many years on the list of isis. that is just a recent organization since last june and controlled large areas in syria and iraq. but we are talking about years before that by al-qaeda and individual jihaddist on their own. he is targeted because of the car ton. he is lecturing to public opinion and audience and he is a public activist than just a cartoonist and there is a liberal movement in northern and western europe that is now rising and demanding they have the right for free speech and no
5:25 pm
charges of islamphobia would be applied against them. it is controversial because of the statement of the religion and in europe it is tense to address those issues. in conclusion he is targeted by the jihaddist and i believe he is under protection by the government. >> if you could hold on one second. apparently sky news has a witness they intrude and we'll try to take that for you. >> it is described as in complete lock down by a witness who spoke to us earlier. but marg rit tv two reporter. just explain to us, that there is a lot of police activity and a the lot of noise as well and scrapping noises that she describes hearing and we know that there is a helicopter above the vicinity of the synagogue and this fls in the crystal
5:26 pm
guard area and where the main synagogue was located. a lot of confusion being described in terms of what people can do and where they can go. >> so we are going to get out of that and go back to dr. phares. two shootings and the not sure they are related and the first shooting was immediately referred to as a terror attack and two people were killed and one person in both attacks and the second attack in the synagogue and first attack in a cafe and that one possibly targeting the lares villk. >> it is a terrorist attack. it is one of those strikes across europe that is demonstrating that the continent and all of the liberal democracies are attacked by the network. and many individuals and
