7:09 am
including the foiled attempt on a frenchchrain earlier this year. french and u.s. authorities believe it's part of a strategy by isis to select hand-picked cells to carry out attacks. in europe and the u.s. at least one attacker in paris was smuggled into europe posing as a refugee, presenting this passport to greek officials. he traveled in early october from greece, to serbia, to croatia. as he made his way to france according to officials and officials say he was part of the team that attacked the paris stadium and was the first to detonate his suicide vest. [ explosion ] another attacker was a 29-year-old french citizen, identified five years ago as a possible terrorist but never charged with serious crimes. >> they have them as sleepers. and then they activava them for thesesattacks. >> reporter: and france was warned the day before that isis was about to strike. according to iraqi officials.

7:12 am
over 8,000 air strikes. in iraq and syria, committed 3500 troops to iraq. 145 rebels now trained inside syria and 50 u.s. special operations troops. the president telling our george stephanopoulos before the attacks in paris, the military campaign has stalled isis gains on the ground but have yet to cripple them. >> what we have not been able to do is completely decapitate their command and control structures. >> reporter: the challenge? the sheer size and distribution of resources. isis is believed to have between 20,000 and 30,000 fighters controlling land stretching across iraq and syria and financing their terror. oil fields that gegerate about $4$4million a month.
7:13 am
war planes 100 fuel trucks to transport oil. these air strikes are part of a bigger campaign to go after the isis money pipeline. george. >> hard to believe that was the e first time. thank you, martha. the fbi has arrested dozens of isis sympathizers in the u.s. this year. pierre thomas tracking the homeland threat. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. even though no credible threat the u.s. has been i intified. the fbi is intensifying surveillance of sympathizers here at home is ramping up. security officials are expanding the police presence at soft targets around the nation, including in times square. today and this week, americans should expect to see additional security near mass transit. while this is a visible show of force, nearly 1,000 terror investigations are under way in all 50 states, many involving isis. >> isis is much more capable.
7:14 am
this is a much bigger threat than we ever faced from al qaeda. >> reporter: more than 07 were arrested or confronted in the last two years. many identified after their communications were intercepted. a boston man attacked after yielding a knife. chosen to mimic executions. a florida a n authorities linked to isis planning to plant a bomb the sands of a busy key west beach. isis radicals in the new york area accused of planning to attack the george washington bridge in that area. one of those suspects apparently stabbed and fbi agent in the chest during a search of his home. this morning, we're told that the attack in france may have revealed a new tactic by isis. they'r'rworried that isis mama have deployed new encryption technology. allowing them to communicate off the grid. invisible. >> i've been complaining about going dark, the ability to go dark. i think you'llllee that will play a significant factor in this event.
7:15 am
very interested to see what type of phones they were equipped with. what type of apps they had on those phones. >> reporter: we don't know why this plot went undetected. it could be something was missed. or the killers didn't use smartphones to communicate. if it's new technology, it's a game changer. george. >> let's get more on this now from the chair on the house committee, michael mccaul. nuck for -- thank you for joining us. we donon know why this went undetected. the ranking democrat on the house committee said this was an intelligence failure. do you agree? >> yeah, i think -- look, the fact is, it went undetected, under the radar. there are reports that iraqi intelligence warned about a plot. this one was so sophisticated and so well planned out and coordinated in advance. i think that was what was the most concerning.
7:16 am
the fact there was almost zero intelligence on it. if that can happen in paris, it can happen anywhere in europe. my concern as chairman of homeland security, could it happen in the united states? >> the white house saying there's no specific and credible threat against the united states. they have identified right now. do you agree? >> all t t briefings i've received indicate there are no specific and credible threats. however, we stopped 99% of this stuff. they only have to be right one time. i think that's what we're worried about. in the iraqi intelligence warning, they also warned about plots in the united states. and so that's, i think, what intelligence officials, homeland, fbi, now are looking very closely at. we have over 900 investigations actively in the united states. in all 50 states. >> do you believe there are isis sympathizers directed by syria in the united states right now?
7:17 am
we have arrested over 70 isis followers over the last year. that's more than one per week. i think europe has a far more serious threat than the united ststes. we have hundreds of americans who traveled from the united states to syria and iraq to fight and train. 50 of those have come back. those e rsons are being monitored as we speak. >> and that has many people concerned about the president's plan to bring in up to 10,000 new refugees from syria. you have governors of two states, alabama and michigan, saying they won't take in syrian refugeeses what should be done right now? >> i think the president should suspend that program. put a moratorium on it. until we can have assurances. it could be done from a security and safety standpoint. to vet these individuals. when i talk to the fbi and homeland officials, they don't know who these people are. on the other hand, if we're going to do this, we have to do it right and make sure it's done with security in mind.
7:18 am

7:56 am
around this surrounded building, just down this street a few blocks, where they believe they have the most wanted man in the world, the eighth attacker. 26-year-old salah abdeslam locked into this position. we have heard two loud bangs from that position. apart. he escaped from paris in a car that was stopped near the belgian border. a routine traffic stop. he was not detained. abc news has confirmed there were two other occupants in the car. he made it apparently here to belgium, to this neighborhood of molenbeek, known as the hotbed of jihadism. government here very, very concerned about the number of terrorist plots have been traced back to this area. and right back down that street. we're told they have the eighth attacker from the paris attacks trapped inside a building and right now, as we speak, some kind of police movement. two bangs in the past 45 minutes
7:57 am
or so. they're proceeding very cautiously. this man obviously very dangerous. they're concerned because of other sieges for booby traps and othehetypes of things. right now, there's some kind of movement in the siege right down the street. >> okay, terry, thank you very much. let's go to brad garrett. former fbi negotiator. abc consultant. we've seen them so many times now, brad, not only at the concert hall. back at the "charlie hebdo" attacks. what does the fact that we've heard detonations tell you? >> they may have thrown flash-bangs in or around the location of the fugitive. the key is going to be, can they take him alive? you and i have had this conversation several times. these guys don't typically come out alive. but he'll have so much intel. if there are no hostages, they'll take their time to try to figure out how to extract him from the location. or ultimately, go in and take him out.
7:58 am
>> stand by, brad, as this develops. we're learning about the master mind of this attack. a terrorist tied to several other attacks. brian ross is here with that part of the story. brian? >> reporter: good morning. french authorities say they have identified the high-profile recruit of isis as the suspected mastermind of the paris attacks. abdelhamid abaaoud. prominently featured in isis videos released online, has played a key role. he's supposedly from the belgian city of molenbeek. isis has issued a new video threatening washington, d.c. in the last hour. saying, as we struck france at the center of its abode in paris, we'll strike america at the center of washington, d.c. >> thank you, brian. public buildings reopening in france this morning. david muir is there right now. hey, david. >> reporter: that's right, george. paris trying to get back to normal.
7:59 am
republique. and you can see the memorials here behind us. people still, perhaps on their way from work. in the last 24 hours, this was the plaza where there was a moment of chaos. a firework was set off. people were sent in a stampede, running for cover. police actually arriving on the scene. it gives you a sense of the uneasiness in the city. when we heard just this morning from the prime minister that they do expect more terrorist attacks here in france and elsewhere in europe. saying he doesn't want to scare the people of france. but he certainly wants to warn them. we also know that france is fighting back against isis in syria in the last 24 hours. we've been reporting on the air strikes on the isis strong hold of raqqa. this government is serious about taking action against isis. who they believe is behind this attack. george? robin? >> the british prime minister said this morning they believe they have stopped six or seven
8:00 am
attacks in the last several months. thank you, david 37. you'll have much more tonight on "world news." now to amy with the day's other top headlines. >> the attacks in paris are understandably raising many concerns right here at home. michigan and alabama are refusing to accept syrian refugees. the governors of both states say security concerns have prompted that decision. one of the paris attackers is believed to have slipped into europe as a refugee. and we've learned in arrests in connection with another major attack claimed by isis. 11 people, most of them from syria, have been arrested for twin suicide bombings in beirut, lebanon, last week. at least 43 people were killed in those attacks. the pentagon has released five detainees from the guantanamo prison camp. the men who were from yemen, spent 13 years in the camp. they were transferred to the united arab emirates. president obama is expected to send congress a plan to close guantanamo and republicans have

8:02 am
remembrance and solidarity with the french people. it's touching to see what everyone did to pull together to give people that sense of peace and unity. >> people in new york said after 9/11, they felt the world embrace us. we wanted to return the same and let people know there we're thinking of them. and comforting them. >> we should say there was also an attack in beirut on thursday where several dozen people were killed. and isis. we're thinking of them as well. >> we're all in this together. let's look at what's coming up on the "gma morning menu." the latest on the siege in belgium. breaking new details. and more about the american band that was on stage during the attack in paris. all that coming up on "good morning america."sistibly smooth. the lindor truffle. created with passion... by the lindt master chocolatiers. a hard outer shell with a smooth center. luscious... flowing... welcome... to the best time of your day.

welcome back to "gma." you see such powerful images from all over the world. solidarity with the people of france. the people of paris. after those deadly attacks on friday night. of course, that bataclan concert hall at the center of it all. that siege on friday night. jesse palmer with more on the american band who was playing that night. hey, jesse? >> reporter: theyhey, george. the california band, the eagles of debt metal, were at the start of their european tour. they've canceled the other dates. heading home. the chaos unfolding on stage at the bataclan theater during the
8:08 am
eagles of death metal show. the american rock band singer stunned by the sound of gunfire. the drummer ducking for cover. >> he said they heard automatic machine gun fire. and they all hit the stage floor. they saw men with machine guns just kind of shooting at anything and everything. there was a door, at back of the stage that led to a street and they flew out the back door. >> reporter: their merchandise manager, 36-year-old nick alexander, among the nearly 90 killed inside the theater. his girlfriend posted you are and always will be the love of my life. you didn't want to but then you got the itch >> reporter: the band's name intended to be tongue in cheek. not a death metal band at all. a self-described fun group. appearing on "jimmy kimmel" just weeks ago. best known for the catchy blues rock songs. like this one, featured in a nike commercial. they have four albums, including one just released in october. it's so easy without complexity
8:09 am
at the bataclan was part of the group's european tour. the band canceling remaining shows after the shootings. another band, the deathtones, was set to play at the bataclan on saturday. a member of the band's team, telling abc's matt gutman, that he left the venue just moments before the gunmen arrived. >> when did you realize that you escaped death? >> when we got back, we heard the ambulances. coming down the street and seen all the police. >> reporter: the 1500-seat bataclan theater is one of paris' most populararnd beloved hot spots. recently becoming a favorite to shows like prince, the roots, and 30 seconds to mars. don't say a prayer for me now >> reporter: now, music lovers everywhere sharing this cover of
8:10 am
the siegels of death metal praying for a brighter day. no word on when or if the band plans on playing again. many people saw the moving images of bono and his band mates laying flowers at a candlelight memorial saturday night. >> they canceled their performances in paris. we want to go to brad garrett again. an fbi negotiator. now an abc news consultant. you were talking to the eyewitnesses before. and, brad, it seems like there's no rhyme or reason to survive things like this. some people play dead, some run, some attack. any rules here? >> the rules are, george, that you have to do something. inaction may get you killed. if you're trapped, figure out a way to temporarily hide. if that's not going to work, and the last resort, you're going to have to go after the guy doing the shooting. >> but generally, the first thing to do is if you're close to an exit, take it. >> absolutely. fleeing is the number one thing to do. in many times.
8:11 am
and i think that is the reason, george, we don't have the bigger numbers we could have had inside that concert hall. because people were able to get out the exits. >> brad, w wt you have often said and what others have said, ahead of time, know your exits in a public place like that. >> absolutely, robin. the key is, you don't have to be paranoid. you walk into a room, a mall, a school, wherever it might be. look around. where could i go if something happened? it's about raising your awareness so that becomes automatic as you move around. >> brad, when does it make sense to attack? we remember the story of the americans on the train who brought down the attacker. when does it make sense? >> when you know you're going to be harmed, george. and this is what you have to think about. what do you have on you? a pen, a pocket knife, a bottle? whatever you have and this is when numbers are important. if you have three or four people around you, everybody go at him. because what do you have to lose
8:12 am
if he's got a weapon pointed at you? the key is, distraction, go for his face, eyes, groin. see if you c take him down. but clearly, i want to make a point here. that is the last resort for you. >> first thing, always go for that exit whenever you can. now to lara. paris is still a city on edge. panic at several sites where people had come together to remember the victims of friday's takes. matt gutman has more on that from paris. matt? >> reporter: lara, the french are showing the stiff upper lip. presenting courage. beneath that, it's a tremendous amount of fear. we were at one of the biggest stampedes yesterday. a mraz plaza filled with people suddenly emptying. you looked at the faces of the peopople, they thought thehewere under attack.
8:13 am
stampedes in the streets of paris. a mass of humanity trampling through these carefully laid memorials. the biggest of the five reported stampedes happened right outside our hotel. outside, chaos. right now, everybody is running. they're saying, leave, leave. let's see what's going on. running for their lives. crouching under restaurant tables. doing anything to protect themselves. we saw police taking positions, aiming their rifles. those officers who are armed have taken up position. they think they see probably something across the street. moments ago, this entire square was filled with hundreds, maybe thousands of people. it's been entirely emptied. we heard screams and cries. people fleeing the area. still don't know what's going on. as we took cover, this man telling me, watch out for the police. they're jittery after not sleeping for days. many caught underfoot. including this man. medics arrived soon. the threat?
8:14 am
unnerving sound of firecrackers. you have to wonder why anybody would set off firecrackers in paris now. police are investigating that. there's a significant security threat in the city. lara? >> all right, matt, thank you so much. those feelings of fear and concern are not just isolated to paris. people are concerned all around the world. joining us now to talk about how to cope with them is psychiatrist dr. janet taylor. so good to have you here. >> thank you. >> cannot imagine. can't begin to imagine what it must have been like to actually have been there. even if you were not there, the fear that many of us have and it just plays with your mind. >> it's real. our brains are wired to constantly assess for our safety or whether we should flee. you have a horrific event that happened. that disruption puts you on edge. and for good reason. the reality is, most of us have either witnessed or suffered or been exposed to trauma you'll have a reaction to it. the uncertainty that we're all
8:15 am
feeling are normal. a loud sound. a thought. a threat. triggers the feelings over and over again. >> when they were having those vigils and the firecrackers went off. the fireworks, you saw the reactions. >> so natural. >> ordinary, you go, that sounds like something. for them, they were there, many of them. it's like, oh, no. >> here we go again. >> here we go again. >> we're talking about adults. our reactions. my children were watching on friday. their big question was, could it happen here? what do we say as parents to our children? >> you tell the truth. the reality is, we don't know what could happen. you can say, that must make you feel a certain way. you cacashare your own feelings. talk about a safety plan. do something good. do something. help other people. but for kids, think about it, talking to them in a way that is age-appropriate. we don't want to scare them. we want them to be sure of the reality. why we lock our doors, wear seat belts, know where the fire exits are.
8:16 am
uncertain. but here are ways that you can be safe. one of those things that you can do is certainly to teach them from an early age how to balance themselves when they feel anxiety. share your own times when you have coped and found healthy resources and help them be able to find those same tools. >> age-appropriate is so important. it's didn't for different ages. >> it is. and certainly, they're exposed to things with smartphones and television. we think that because they're exposed, they know on a certain level. keep it simple. ask them how they feel. let them talk to you. answer in a way that doesn't scare them, but informs them. >> you just made a great point. listen to them. d. dr. taylor and i were talking about this before everybody came over. how we cope. we're all being inundated with all the information. viewers, us. things like flying. i never worried about. but need to tomorrow. i'm scared. you know? >> here's the thing. terrorism is primarily
8:17 am
psychological. people have lost lives and do not want to discount that. but it's the normalcy. the things you take for granted. you're going for a walk. >> you're going on the subway. >> you're going on the subway. you're taking your kids out and something could happen to you. that is real. that aftermath. but the focus is to think about your own ways that you keep yourself safe. think about your own strengths and resources that you have. primarily, your mind. you start feeling the terror or feelings, acknowledge it. but say, i'm going to be okay. i flew last night from l.a. i had the same feelings. >> you did? >> of course. you look around. you have safety checks. >> brad garrett was saying, you have to -- it's a new reality. >> but it's not easy to do. because you bring up very good points. we have always heard, the terrorists win if we change our lifestyle. but it's hard not to when you're gripped so soon from something like this happening. >> we can't afford to change our lifestyle. we have to work. our kids have to go to school. there are things that we have to do. it's important to acknowledge
8:18 am
the feelings. not what you're thinking but the feelings. focus on what your strengths are. if you need to talk to somebody, call a friend. if you need to pray, pray. if you need to talk to a therapist, talk to a therapist. it's about coping in healthy ways. exercise. find support. do those things that you like to do. and realize that you're not alone in it. these, for the most part are small events that happen. we have other daily disruptions and traumas that happen in our lives. most of us are safe. and thank goodness that we are. >> that's so helpful. thank you. we hope it helped you at home as well. thank you. let's get outside to ginger. thank you so much. and we also have weather headlines that we have to get to this morning. dangerous winds in california. moving through much of the west. you can see in san francisco, the airport reported close to 50-mile-per-hour gusts. flash flood watches in place from northeast texas, louisiana, up to chicago. the heaviest rain throughout the

8:32 am
>> to have a happy ending. >> i think what's wonderful is that the women's gender is an important part of the story. in the way that the universality of the love story, witnessing people falling madly in love for the first time, it's got a broader connection than that. >> it's beautiful. in a recent interview, rooney mara said she was terrified of working with you. you were her idol when she was going to the theaters. what was the chemistry like between the two of you? >> it's not something you can plan for. we did a loft research about the period and the book and the characters. that stuff is the magical stuff that you hope the camera's catching. because todd haines, we worked together on the bob dylan film. he and rooney hadn't worked together. it was a threesome, as it were. you don't know until you see the final product what that chemistry translated.

8:34 am
being made into a movie. why is the message just as important today? >> i think if the film was made 15 years oorks it would have been seen as a political act. this film no longer has to stand for all of that experience. in the end, the it's the love story that come across. >> it certainly does. cate blanchett, few for joining us.

8:37 am

8:40 am
>> really good. this is an abc special report. >> we're coming on the air. the president is about to hold a press conference. >> world leaders. the deadly terrorist attacks at the top of the agenda. and the pressure to take the fight to isis. i want to start with brian ross. and brian, first off, a siege in belgium where, police thought they had the eighth attacker who has been on the loose surrounded. >> a three-our siege in the suburb of brussels. they thought he was there. discovered he had fled. they're still looking for him worldwide. he is the eighth shooter. believed to have escaped the scene in paris on friday. >> they've identified the master mind. >> reporter: they believe the master mind is a well-known isis fighter from belgium. he's been identified as the
8:41 am
mastermind in and out of belgium, going back and forth from syria. boasted about his ability to operate inside europe and not get caught. also behind the foiled attempt to attack a french passenger train earlier in year. what's most important, isis seems to have gone global. u.s. and french authorities say they have created their own unit to organize and plot attacks with sleeper cells against europe and the u.s. there is a new isis video this morning with a threat that washington, d.c. may be the next part. >> here comes the president now. >> good afternoon. let me begin by thanking the president and the people of turkey for their outstanding work in hosting this g-20 summit. antalya is beautiful. the hospitality of the turkish
8:42 am
to our turkish friends -- [ speaking turkish ] i have been practicing that. at the g-20. we've been focused on growing economies and jobs for our people. growth has to be inclusive to address the rising inequalitity throughout the world. given growing cyberthreats, we have set up new rules. a commitment not the engage in the cybertheft of intellectual property for private gains. we pledged to work together for a successful outcome in paris. of course, much of our attention is focused on the heinous
8:43 am
across the world, in the united states, american flags are at half staff in solidarity with our french allies. we're working closely with our french partners as they pursue investigations and track down suspects. france is already a strong counterterrorism partner. we're streamlining the process by which we share intelligence and military operation with france. this will allow our personnel to pass threat information to our french partners. we have to protect against more attacks and protect our citizens. tragically, paris is not alone.
8:44 am
by isil in beirut, last month in ank ra, and routinely in iraq. we have sent a message here at the g-20. waer united against this threat. isil is the face of evil. our goal as i have said many times is to degrade and ultimately destroy this bar bashicbash ic -- barbaric organization. we have a strategy to use all elements of our power. military. economic. development, the strength of our communities. we have always understood this would be a long-term campaign. there will be successes. the terrible events in paris are a setback. as we grieve with our french friends, however, we can't lose sight that there has been
8:45 am
progress being made. on the military front, our coalition is intensifying our air strikes, more than 8,000 to date. we're taking out isil leaders. commanders. their killers. we have seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground, isil can and is pushed back. so local forces in iraq backed by air power liberate d sinjar. iraqi forces are fighting to take back ramadi. we have stepped up our support of opposition forces working to cut off supply lines to isis strong holds. so in short, both in iraq and syria, isil controls less territory than it did before. i made the point to my fellow leaders, that if we want this progress to be sustained, more
8:46 am
people need to step up with the resources this fight demands. the attacks in paris remind us it will not be enough to defeat isil in syria and iraq alone. here in antalya, we've committed to sharing more information and stepping up efforts to stem the flow of foreign fighters in and out of syria and iraq. as the united states showed in libya, isil leaders will have no safe haven anywhere. the best voices to discredit i isil's warped ideology. on the humanitarian front, our nations agreed we have to do more individually and collectively to address the agony of the syrian people. the united states is the largest done donor of aid to the syrian people.
8:47 am
we're donating additional supplies including clothing and generators through the united nations. the u.n. appeal for syria has less than half the funds needed. today, i'm again calling on more nations to contribute the resources this crisis demands. in terms of refugees, it's clear that countries like turkey, lebanon, and jordan, which are already bearing an extraordinary burden, cannot be expected to do so alone. at the same time, all of our countries have to ensure security. as president, my first priority is the safety of the american people. that's why, even as we accept more refugees, including syrians, we do so after subjecting them to rigorous screening and security checks. we have to remember many of them are the victims of terrorism themselves. that's what they're fleeing. slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values.
8:48 am
our nations can welcome refugees desperately seeking safety and ensure our own security. we can and must do both. finally, we have begun to see some modest progress on the diplomatic front. which is critical because a political solution is the only way to end the war in syria and unite the unite the syrian people and the world against isil. the vienna talks mark the first time that all the key countries have come together, as a result, i would add, of american leadership, and reached a common understanding. with this weekend's talks there's a path forward. negotiations between the syrian opposition and the syrian regime under the auspices of the united nations, a transition toward a more inclusive representative government, a new constitution followed by preelections and alongside this political process a cease-fire in the civil war even as we continue to fight against isil. these are obviously ambitious goals.
8:49 am
have been dashed before. there are any number of ways that this latest diplomatic push could falter. there are still disagreements between the parties including most critically over the fate of bashar assad who we do not believe has a role in syria's future because of his brutal rule. his war against the syrian people is the primary root cause of this crises. what is different this time and what gives us some degree of hope is that, as i said, for the first time all the major countries on all sides of the syrian conflict agree on a process that is needed to end this war. and so while we are very clear-eyed about the very, very difficult road still ahead, the united states in partnership with our coalition is going to remain relentless on all fronts, military, humanitarian, and diplomatic. we have the right strategy and we're going to see it through.
