through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. >> the obama administration's declared strategy included u.s. air strikes in iraq and syria and special operatiors on the ground in circumstance. many in congress see it as inadequate. >> the efforts militarily have been anemic so far. we could have been using special operations and air power in a much stronger way in order to roll back isis capabilities and strengthen the more moderate elements. there can be really no solution in this region until we address the assad issue. >> we've got 60 countries that have said they're part of the coalition against isil. in truth, about 20 of them are providing effective military capables. frankly, a focus right now to get the coalition partners to do more. >> do we have allies in the middle east that will help us? not the europeans or nato but allies in the middle east to be
10:15 pm
helpful to us in this fight. >> jordan is a good partner. israel is a good partner in this fight. the united am rat emirates. >> another country that should be a partner in the fight against isis is a nato member. >> turkey is a part of the effort to address the flow of foreign fighters yet the vast majority of foreign fighters are flowing through turkey into syria so they just need to do more and control their own border. >> kurds consistently beaten isis at every turn. should we be doing more to help the kurds? >> we're getting the support they need in the current fight to them. we're doing it through the iraqi government because what we're looking in the long run is a unified iraq. that's the best prospect of success. >> whether iraq can survive as a unified shia sunni united state

10:17 pm
i think the beheadings, the burnings, as with the jordanian pilot, the horrible things they do, i think they're trying to spark a ground war. >> the more there's a war like this, the minorities have no place. >> reverend al shafi is devoted to rescuing partners. we founded one free world international. he converted from islamic to christianity at 18 years old. he was in prison and tortured in a prison for declaring his faith in jesus christ. so christians and jews and ot r others are caught in the cross fire? >> that's correct. >> since 2014, an effort to cleanse the caliphate, isis death squads viciously murdered tens of thousands of christians and yazidis in northern iraq. most captured men and boys

eliminated but thousands of young women and girls taken as trophies of war. >> we know that isisyazidis, christians, young women, turns hem into quote wives or sex slaves s. that doctrine within the koran? >> of course it is. it is doctrine in the koran. you can have a slave. sometime one of the girls and i recall -- she was 9 years old. that they used to rape her 20 times a day. we have succeeded in rescuing a number of those women. >> describe without creating a vulnerability for the process how you go about finding them and getting them out. >> through the relationship that we have with the kurdish tribes that we will be able to go across the borders to isis territory and we will be able to save and rescue some of the girls back. we was able to locate for
10:19 pm
markets where they sell the girls. most of them in mosul and some of them in syria, these girls have different price depend on her beauty, depend on her age, depend on she is virgin or not. so the price can go from $4,000 to $2,000. this operation bankrupted our organization but i would tell you something. i will sell my suit, my furniture, everything i own to get these girls out. and i have no regrets about it. up close with the kurdish peshmerga as they fight isis in northern iraq. don't let dust and allergies get between you and life's beautiful moments. with flonase allergy relief, they wont. most allergy pills only control one inflammatory substance. flonase controls six. and six is greater than one. flonase changes everything.

10:27 pm
>> i think it's going to be sometime. mosul has started and we deal it at a pace to be successful.>> i mosul, to liberate it from daesh, you could have another 500,000 refugees. >> it doesn't matter how many here. we'll be at their service because kurd stan has a huge heart and whatever the kurdish people have experienced they understand the situation of the idps and that's why we're always supporting them. >> thank you. coming up, inside the worst terror attack on american soil since 9/11. since 9/11. and

10:33 pm
bomb device attached to a remote control. it didn't go up. >> substantial enough it would have done considerable damage? >> would have done some damage inside that room and probably caused significant injuries. >> in the chaos following the shootings, a hunch by one of the witnesses led law enforcement to their first suspect. 28-year-old sayed farook who worked for the county as a food inspector. easterning $53,000 he had a county issued iphone. >> one particular person in the room that knew mr. farook had told one of our officers that although the suspects were masked coming back into the room, there was something about his -- the suspect's body language and stature he thought wab it was sayed farook. he was at the event. 10:30 in the morning he left a. couple of employees noted he left and they thought that was odd. >> the real surprise was that the second shooter was farook's wife, 29-year-old tashfeen
10:34 pm
malik. born in pack ston to a wealthy family of landowners, malik moved to saudi arabia with her family. she returned to pakistan in 2007 to study pharmacy here at this university. after returning to saudi arabia, malik met farook on a dating website. farook went there to meet her in person in 2013. they were later married there and flew back to the united states together in july 2014. malik was admitted to the country on a fiancee visa. america's current visa waiver program can allow extremists to slip in undetected. many continue to exploit the fiancee visa for sham marriages or disappear after overstaying a visa. >> 30 countries in europe, fill out a form, get on an airplane and come to america for 90 days and makes us less safe.
10:35 pm

car, the back passenger who turned out to be tashfeen malik opened fire at the officers behind. >> all hell broke loose as the couple engaged in a wild gun battle with police wielding the ar-15 style rifles. the officers fired 380 ounds and the shooters got off 75. two police were wounded, both farook and his wife were killed. >> i don't know that we know why they chose this event. these were folks that six months before thrown a baby shower for him and had given him and his wife gifts for the birth of their child. >> during the search of the apartment, alongside the baby toys, police discovered a bomb factory in the grarch. 19 pipe bomb components and thousands of rounds of ammunition. the first seeds of the san bernardino terrorist attack sown in 2004 right here on this quiet street in riverside, california. that's when a young enrique marquez moved into this house right next door to the family of
10:37 pm
sayed farook. farook lived here with his mother, older brother and two sisters. when they weren't working on cars together, farook indoctrinated marquez into the ways of islam. soon he began to frequent the mosque in nearby corona. no the years leading up to the shooters, they discussed radical islam and listened to tapes of the cleric anwar anlaki. >> there's seven degrees of connection to him in almost every case. >> in two -- 2012, enrique marquez bought materials and two of the rifles that were used in the san bernardino shootings. marquez quifilled out the information saying they were for him. isn't that illegal? >> illegal in the sense of a straw purchase, absolutely. we know that back in 2012, they
10:38 pm
had discussed these are the plots to attack a community college in our area and also launch an attack on a freeway here in the inland empire, as well. >> dabiq, the islamic state's propaganda magazine, quickly gave a shoutout to the terrorist couple. >> it opens first two pages of the magazine by lauding the san bernardino shooters and particular laud for husband and wife team engaged in jihad and heeded the call of al baghdadi to attack the crusaders in their home larnd. >> another person in san bernardino who came under fbi scrutiny was this man, a cleric at this mosque. allegedly a haven for islamic fundamentali fundamentalists. in december, it was reported that the cleric had exchanged nearly 40 text messages with farook in the weeks leading up to the july 2015 terrorist attack on two military sites in
10:39 pm
chattanooga, tennessee. now a legal battle is raging over the authority's attempt to crack farook's government-issued iphone. despite the frenzy of texting, the cleric and colleagues now claim they barely knew farook. >> about a month ago he started. we did not think of him. he's not really local. >> the investigation into the san bernardino attacks continues. in february, when the fbi raided the home of farook's older brother, thick envelopes and a computer wer among the items removed from the premises. at the same time, enrique marquez sat in a jail cell awaiting a july 2016 trial on terrorism charges. >> the fbi said they didn't have any connection with domestic or foreign terrorist organizations. >> you have isis which has said go, do your attacks, do what you're going to do in our name which is added a whole new fear

the threat posed by isis to the united states is growing in terms of scale and scope. >> isis has been calling for attacks for well over a year against westerners, particularly americans. and they feel like, of course, they succeeded. >> past year we saw three successful terrorist attacks on u.s. soil. saw tennessee in chattanooga. obviously san bernardino and garland, texas. >> but why are more americans heeding the islamic state's call to the battlefield. >> there's a single profile and unfortunately there isn't it's the ideology. >> many analysts like to prokus on the fact that isis on twitter, snapchat and whatever
10:44 pm
else and they put out glossy magazines and videos and that's process. that process would not appeal to people unless the substance appealed to people. and the substance, again, is a literal understanding of islam. >> many say the united states efforts to counter isis' deadly narrative have been weak unlike the successful campaigns in world war ii against japan and germany and the cold war with the soviet union. >> we had froo radio free europe. >> pierces the iron curtain with the truth. >> countering infiltrate with capitalism, promoting freedom. >> we've ceded the battlefield and we need to push back. the same rigorous planning that goes into the war fighting efforts needs to go into our cyber efforts. >> his program on extremism team at george washington university
10:45 pm
tried to understand the recent surge in american jihadis. they released the report. isis in america. from retweets to raqqah. hughes is one of the authors. >> since march 2014, we have had at least 80 arrests of people charged we sis related charges and they run the gamet, young, rich, poor, black, white. over a six-month period, we looked at 300 accounts of american isis supporters and we found twitter is the platform of choice. >> here are some of the images they found on social media. >> you have an account where they're just posting out quotes from anwar alaki. this is an image a lot online. >> one of the most interesting things was how brash everything is. >> sarah jokes is a research associate. >> this is a foreign fighter
10:46 pm
from i believe somewhere in europe. and he has been with isis. actually comes from tumblr. a girl forces over and over again. in love with this guy. it's totally bizarre to see this in the frame of a terrorist organization. >> isis has taken it to a whole new level. this is an engaged social media platform that can bring together like minded individuals in the far flung corners of the internet and the deep web. >> people haven't just passively viewing the material. they reach out to radicalize and recruiter online and get the materials they need or get the phone number in turkey who to call when you land. >> once they realize they got somebody, they'll go into what we call dark space in areas that we can't even monitor on the internet even if we have a court order to understand what they're directing and either inspiring
10:47 pm
or directing the small and medium-scale attacks which are much more difficult to stop. >> encryption made it nearly impossible for law enforcement to track terrorists who have gone dark on the web. to do so will require more cooperation from u.s. tech companies. >> and we need to build trust between silicon valley and d.c. and ultimately the american people and i think it's a trust deficit that's impeding further cooperation because, yes, there's a freedom of speech issue. but you know what? there's also a terrorism issue here. so i mean, basically, you have three options. we want to collect information to get a sense of who their networks are. you don't want to shut down all of the facilities. two, we can actually start shutting down this information and we need to do more there. quite honestly, the american viewer, the fox viewer has a role here potentially to identify, flag information and

moderate movement. >> the muslim world is dominated by thugs and dictators. we can only defeat them if we start to take back the mantle of islam. >> the idea of the islamic state is a bad idea. >> born in bombay, india, nomadi came to the united states at age four, grew up in west virginia. >> bad idea for the 21 century. bad idea for christians and jews and muslims who do not want to live according to the strict interpretation of islam. and it's a bad idea for women. >> the goal of changing the hard line interpretation became a very personal one after attacks on september 11th. >> i was a reporter for the "wall street journal." i went to pakistan. by colleagues came to visit me. he went off during interview,
10:53 pm
