might have here? >> what it means they feel there is an imminent attack that is coming. i believe that, that is based on, how, this individual, abedi was radicalized and how he basically turned towards going operational. they probably feel that there are other people that are like-minded, maybe from same general area we have been hearing about the hotbed where he came from. and very possible that they think that, there are others that he is connected to. maybe they weren't helping with this attack. but others that were thinking along the same lines. now they may want to try to commit a similar type off take. i believe that's why they raised the level. >> steve, isis is claiming responsibility. we also have a few more details on the suspect, a 22-year-old man, born in manchester. when you look at something like this. how do you establish how much involvement the group actually has in an attack like this. and how much credibility do you

give off to the claim of responsibility? >> well you, got to look at it, from a different perspective. and we saw this -- over time after 9/11. where anwar al alwaki, started to, basically use propaganda where he was starting to communicate to sympathizers and potential terrorists here in the u.s. and throughout europe. and isis took it to a different level. they really started to, what i call, plant the seeds throughout western civilization. and try to radicalize and get basically brainwashing, of these individuals that are disaffected with their life. that are detached from their society, wherever they live, in this case talking manchester, in the uk. and, because they are planting those seeds, they're building this kind of brainwashing or mind set, like abedi and many others we have seen where they have now taken it on themselves. they don't need to travel

anywhere. they just look at the internet. they go through all of the information. and they basically, become mobilized by isis and their propaganda machine to now commit an attack. >> by the stuff they see online. no doubt, steve. thank you. steve gomez there, joining us. appreciate it, steve. since the attack we have seen an outpouring of support for britain and city of manchester. many of the world's recognizable sites have been lit up as british flag. >> union jack protected on the building in due dubai. and in new york a special moment at yankee stadium. ♪ >> that of course, is britain's national anthem. god save the queen. being played before last night's game at yankee stadium. a message on the stadium's video board read, our thoughts and prayers, to the victims in manchester. quite a moment there. coming up, the rest of the
