>> good evening, i am jeff glor with a western edition of the broadcast. israel says six of it's own citizens have been arrested for a horrific crime. tonight, the prime minister says justice will be done. the arrests come four days after a palestinian teenager was found beaten and then burned over 90% of his body. that killing apparently revenge for the deaths of three israeli boys who were kidnapped last month. benjamin netanyahu said today, "we do not differentiate between the terrorists and we will respond to all of them." we begin with alex ortiz in tel aviv. >> reporter: the battle between palestinian youth and israeli security forces is now in it's fifth day. and there's no sign the unrest is letting up. palestinian crowds are still angry about the abduction and killing of 16-year-old mohammed hudare. he was burned alive. israeli police have arrested six jewish suspects for questioning, in what they believe is a hate crime.

6:03 pm
>> though exhausted and injured, e.rek is now safe. but haunted by the death of his cousin mohamed. >> i can still remember his voice in my head. it's like he's still here, just that nobody can see him. >> reporter: but here, mohamed's face is everywhere and no one will forget him. for days now, political leaders here have been urging restraint and promising justice, but the question is whether that will be enough to contain the anger on both sides. jeff? >> jeff: alex ortiz, thank you. iraq launched three air strikes on the northern city of mosul today as intelligence experts try to verify the identity of a man seen on a much discussed video yesterday. charlie d'agata is in baghdad. >> iraqi officials won't say for certain that the man in this video is abu bakr al-baghdadi, leader of the most feared militant group in iraq, making a eary public appearance in the city of mosul. today, the iraqi military
6:04 pm
spokesman said analysts are still studying the video. al-baghdadi's i.s.i.s. militant group made up of sunni extremists has been battling iraq's largely shiite government forces and destroying shiite holy sites in territory under their control. in an effort to stop them, shiite militias have formed an army in the city of samarra, the site of one of their holiest shrines, but i.s.i.s. has also leveled sunni schrynes in the belief they are against their most strict form of islam. this is one of the largest shrines in baghdad and the people that we've spoke tone here say they have suffered the most under this government. yet when we asked if they were worried about an increase in sectarian violence considering what is happening here, we got mixed opinions. >> "there are terrorist gangs" said hadji yousef, the shrine's community leader. "if they come to baghdad they
6:05 pm
will demolish the shrines." >> even sunni? >> yes. >> reporter: but ahmed kadir a sunni and soldier believes i.s.i.s. will fail in its aim to start a sectarian war because iraqis will unite to fight a common enemy. >> we're not scared he told us. "we fought many wars, wars with iran, even the united states. many of those in the mosque won't be able to remember a time when there wasn't war. now it's just a question of how bad it gets. >> it may be hard to believe, but some of the people we spoke to said they still have faith in the iraqi army to stop i.s.i.s. more were putting their faith in god. one thing many had in common was the belief that should i.s.i.s. militants reach baghdad, it could be the start of an all-out civil war, jeff? >> charlie d'agada, thank you very much. >> the t.s.a. announced increased security at many

pricing disputes. joining us is peter hillic-smith with the codex group. peter in the last five years amazon share of new books sold has gone from an extraordinary 12% to 40% what are they fighting over here? >> about three things. first they're fighting about the price of e-books. amazon's growth has been largely driven by their ability to do very deep discounting often at their own expense. it's also about having a balanced book market. hachette would like to have lots of other places to distribute books and as amazon continues to put discount pressure on book prices, it makes it harder for other book retailers to be profitable and to succeed and the third piece is really about book access. as you lose the ability to find books in stores like wal-mart or barns & noble or target, people who are infrequent book readers read fewer books. >> jeff: some big name authors have signed this boycott against amazon, stephen colbert has come out against amazon but also some smaller self-publishers are

pitor. bad cholesterol... you're going down! yeah! lowering cholesterol is a big deal, especially if you have high cholesterol plus any of these risk factors, because you could be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects. are you down with crestor!? ask your doctor if crestor could help you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
