england, germany, myanmar, the philippines, afghanistan, pakistan, egypt, india, nepal, vigils and memorials of light stand in stark contrast to friday's darkness. in washington, d.c. today, james jones brought his two sons, riley 7, grayson 5, to the french embassy. at the eiffel tower under extra police protection, this scene at sunrise. the sun is about to rise again in france. and though monday will mean more searching it also means more support as a global audience stands with the city of light. that is the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us a little later for the "morning news" and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm jeff glor.
3:30 am
this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." i'm jeff glor. france is striking back against isis which claimed responsibility for friday's attacks in paris. ten french fighter bombers attacked isis targets in raqqa, the isis stronghold in syria. it was france's biggest air raid since the start of the conflict. france is in three days of national mourning for the victims of the terror attacks. the death toll stood at 129. more than 350 are wounded, including nearly 80 who remain in critical condition. seven terrorists are dead but the search continues for one who got away. a 26-year-old man from belgium. we begin our coverage with elizabeth palmer in paris. >> reporter: in about two and a half hours on friday night, six locations were attacked pretty much simultaneously. and at least seven terrorists were involved.
3:31 am
the police say those men are all dead. paris is in shock, of course, and the country has begun three official days of mourning. the police immediately working with forensics teams set out to identify these seven men and they said they've done it, although they've only named one of them. they were relying on dna evidence and in some cases body parts so they sound pretty sure of themselves. the named one is a french citiz citizen. he comes from the paris suburbs, he's a pretty criminal, and he has been known to security services radar since 2010 when he was apparently radicalized. the search has gone international for accomplices. turns out the car that was driven to the bataclan concert hall was rented by a belgian citizen. the police picked him up yesterday. he was trying to get back into belgium from france. they've also arrested three other men from a suburb of brussels which is known to be a home to islamic radicals. and at least one of them say the
3:32 am
man was in paris on the day of the attacks. people wonder why the intelligence services didn't pick up chatter on these attacks. they were relatively complex, they involved a lot of people, some of whom are dead, some of whom are clearly alive. the fact is the security services here have been completely overwhelmed. not only have there been french citizens who'd gone to syria to fight and have been coming back who have to be thoroughly checked out, of course in the last few months there have been hundreds of thousands of migrants flooding into europe in a pretty chaotic fashion. and the security services frankly have been very worried that some of them will be coming in as terrorists disguised simply as asylum seekers. that may turn out to have been the case in this instance. >> the bloodbath in paris has turned the focus of this g-20 summit from the economy to isis. president obama said the skies
3:33 am
have been darkened by those horrific attacks and his very first meeting here was with the president of turkey, a country that has also recently been hit by isis. >> the killing of innocent people based on a twisted ideology is an attack not just on france, not just on turkey, but it's an attack on the civilized world. >> reporter: he said the u.s. is committed to hunting down the perpetrators but he did not say whether that meant the u.s. would ramp up the fight. up to now president obama has argued that air strikes in iraq and syria have kept isis contained. but now allies like saudi arabia and even critics like russia's vladimir putin argue an imminent threat requires a much stronger response. in the meantime, president obama is trying to broker a cease-fire in syria. that war zone has not only sent millions of refugees scattered throughout the middle east and europe, but it has also created a safe haven for the growth of
3:34 am
extremists like isis. >> at least 89 of those killed in tror attacks in paris died inside a concert hall. scott pelley has the story of two survivors for "60 minutes." >> reporter: on this sunday night the great bells of notre dame pay tribute to the dead and to the wounded. you're about to meet two witnesses to the assault on paris. one of them was shot as he played dead inside the concert hall where most of the victims were killed. the other watched innocent people shot down by one of the terrorists. together thepaint a picture of the day that darkness fell on the city of light. >> what was the very first thing you saw? >> a gunman. dressed in black. black boots. black trousers. tight. a black sweater of sorts, no collar.
3:35 am
and standing in a very clear gun position, shooting position. he was holding a weapon. and had it shouldered. and was shooting quite deliberately and precisely. >> reporter: marc cocluff, a danish psychologist, was walking with a friend toward a cafe. >> where was he shooting? >> the french have a habit of having chairs outside the cafes so you can sit with your back to the window and watch the world go by. people were doing that. he shot three of them. just like that. the three that were tting outside he shot very quickly. >> so as he opens fire on the crowd outside the cafe -- >> three people. there wasn't a crowd. he had positioned his legs so he would stand in the tripod kind of way. had the rifle up to his left shoulder. quite deliberately shot, looked, shot, looked, shot, looked, stopped.
3:36 am
>> what happened to those three people? >> they fell off their chairs. >> he hit them all? >> oh, yeah, they were dead. or they fell off their chairs. we could see that. that's the first thing i saw. he was shooting that way down to his right. and he gyrated back and he shot straight ahead into a car that was parked, that was at the crossroads next to the cafe. >> reporter: this is the scene. there's the car. and these are the people who fell off their chairs. the man recording this video says to himself, poor people, it can't be true, it can't be true. >> what happened next? >> he then stepped forward and then he turned right. and walked into the cafe that the three people had been sitting in front of. >> it didn't appear to you that he had the weapon set on automatic and he was just -- >> no. >> -- sweeping the room? >> no, it wasn't random. >> he was picking out his targets, shooting them one at a
3:37 am
time? moving to the next target? >> he shot the three. then he shot into the car. then he moved into the cafe. looked right. panned right with his weapon. didn't shoot. panned left. shot shot shot, pause. shot shot shot, pause. >> reporter: the shooting stopped, the gunman fled. marc and his friend went to see if they could help. >> when you went into the cafe what did you see? >> wounded. some, i could see one guy had been shot in his thigh. i could see another woman had already been given an oxygen mask. i could see the paramedics had put themselves on either side of her. so i thought, she's more critically wounded. towards the bar on our left i could see three or four dead bodies lying in front of the bar. >> we'll have more on scott's report on the paris terror attacks in two minutes.

3:41 am
were three or four dead bodies lying in front of the bar. civilians. i looked down and i saw big puddles of blood. puddles. not little droplets, puddles. >> tables turned over, chairs flipped over, chaos? >> yes. again, the smell of gunpowder in the room. >> half a mile away, an american band was playing to a packed house at the bataclan music hall. francois was by the stage. he's asked us to use only his first name. >> there was about 1,500 people inside. so people were standing and dancing. on the ground floor. >> on the ground floor there are no seats, it's all open? >> no seats. there is the bar at the back. and people dancing at the front. >> what was the first thing you noticed? >> i saw -- heard the gunshots. about ten.
3:42 am
i looked back. and i saw these men shooting a rifle. >> describe him to me. >> he was shooting shot by shot to make sure he was targeting the people. everything was metallic. very precise. and he was trained. clearly trained. >> clearly trained? >> yeah. >> did they have to stop and reload? >> i saw him reloading. very fast. >> you think he was experienced? >> yeah. >> trained like a soldier? >> yeah. >> reporter: francois was hit. a grazing bullet to the back. he fell to the dance floor and played dead. >> what are you seeing around you? were other people wounded nearby? >> yes, yes. i saw people hurt. i saw people laid on the ground,
3:43 am
not moving. they were probably dead or severely injured. there was blood all over the ground. and -- yeah, it was a nightmare. >> and when you realized there were multiple gunmen, what did you think? >> i just realized that they were here to kill as many people as possible. i just thought it was going to be a bloodbath. it was really hell. like people were just pushing to the exits. it was really packed of people trying to get above each other. tryingo escape.
3:44 am
>> reporter: he made a break for it through this exit. those are people hanging from the windows above. >> as you're escaping through this door, was it difficult to get through that? >> there was a lot of people on me for about 30 seconds. >> on top of you, crawling over you? >> yeah, about two people over me trying to escape. it was really long to get out of the building. >> reporter: neighbors opened their apartments to the wounded. a stranger used a shirt to stop francois' bleeding. later, he overheard the police assault on the terrorists. >> what happened then? >> then we -- we waited about two hours in the apartment.
3:45 am
the police came to us, making sure everybody was okay in the building. >> can you show me where you were hit? >> yes. so i was shot here. so at the -- on the back. just below my shoulder. and the bullet came out here. >> that's where the exit wound is? >> yeah. the exit wound. right here. close to the spine. >> what did the doctors tell you about the course that the bullet took? >> they told me i was extremely lucky. because the bullet didn't touch any muscles or bones. >> so lucky to be alive. >> yeah, yeah. >> if it happens, yeah, it will be replicated somewhere else. >> they tested the concept here? >> yeah. >> reporter: alan bower is a former security adviser to the french government who helped new york city set up its counterterrorism unit after 9/11.
3:46 am
>> is it possible that they could get that to the united states? >> i think they will try. we are only the second-worst country in the world for them. u.s. are the first. >> reporter: six locations were hit in 33 minutes. alan bower believes that the main target was the soccer match between france and germany, broadcast live across europe. the french president was there. but outside the stadium, only one victim was killed. >> they arrived too late. >> they arrived too late? after all this planning, they got there late? >> it happens. >> reporter: bower says one terrorist failed to get into the stadium with a propane tank rigged to explode in a backpack full of nails and bullets. that bomber blew himself up. >> the main issue was clearly to create a lot of chaos, and it did not happen the way they wanted. so we had a lot of luck.
3:47 am
>> reporter: bower sees paris as a turning point. >> and it shows how people that are not very well equipped can have such a determination. first to kill bullet by bullet people they've never seen. and prepare to kill themselves to show their case. this is a big change. in the level of determination and of violence. >> too often we think of these things in isolation. but here in just the last few weeks now, isis blew up the russian jetliner in egypt, it attacked its enemies with a bomb in lebanon, and now a few days later this attack in paris. when you connect the dots, this is not over for the western democracies. >> no, it's just the beginning. i just said it. it's just the beginning. that's right. we need to listen to them, read
3:48 am
them, understand what they say, the way they say it, and what they want. and they say it all the time. >> you take them at their word in this? >> of course. why not? >> reporter: paris was smaller today. so many dead. so many wounded. it seemed everyone knew someone lost to the violence. children who didn't understand were shown how to pay respects by parents who would never let go of their hands so easily again. tonight the city turned to its familiar traditions. a comfort against a future suddenly uncertain. on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.

isis has claimed responsibility for the terror attacks in paris but suffered defeats elsewhere. one of its chief spokesmen, the assassin known as jihadi john, apparently killed during an air strike near the isis stronghold of raqqa. kurdish troops backed by u.s. air power have reclaimed the iraqi city of sinjar. >> reporter: the pentagon says america and its coalition allies conducted 250 air strikes in and around the city of sinjar ahead of its ground offensive paving the way for peshmerga forces. there were a few tense moments
3:52 am
as ground troops moved in. first it was just a dozen or so men carefully snaking down the mountain on foot. the rest of the hundreds of fighters watched anxiously to see what would happen next. young and old, volunteers and regular soldiers ready to take back sinjar one step at a time. as more men made their way down toward the unknown, we joined them. gunfire rang out from nearby neighborhoods. a convoy of vehicles was reduced to twisted metal. kurdish soldiers hauled at least one isis fighter away. most of what we saw of the town was deserted. the trail of destruction from weeks of u.s.-led air strikes is all around us. buildings flattened to rubble. roads scarred with huge craters. amini ibrahim, soldier from sinjar, told us he fled with his baby daughter when isis overran the city 15 months ago.
3:53 am
>> this is very dangerous. what are you afraid of as you continue through this village? "i'm afraid of the ieds, homemade bombs they left behind and the booby troops in the houses." yet we didn't see any specialist checking for bombs or booby traps today. by the end of the morning, it was clear isis had disappeared, either driven out or had escaped ahead of the assault. most of the gunfire we continued to hear was in celebration. as we came back down from sinjar mountain we ran into a traffic jam of yazidis who heard isis had been pushed out of their city and they are desperate to get back home. with all the destruction, bombs and risk of counterattack, that could be several weeks away. mohammad emwazi is best known as the man behind the black mask believed responsible for the
3:54 am
beheading of at least seven hostages, including american journalist james foley and steven sotloff and american aid worker peter kassig in syria in 2014. his brutality and anonymity earned him the name jihadi john. the gruesome videos presented the world with a terrifying image of the islamic state and were a powerful propaganda tool for the terror group. this morning british prime minister david cameron praised the u.s. mission. >> he was intent on murdering many more people. so this was an act of self-defense. it was the right thing to do. >> reporter: emwazi, a british citizen believed to be in his mid-20s, wa was born in kuwait but raised in london. a graduate from the university of westminster, he had a degree in computer programming. he first came to the attention of british intelligence in 2009, who believed he was planning to join al shabaab in somalia. he disappeared from his family's london home in 2013 and traveled to syria. his rise among the ranks of isis is unclear. as is what motivated his brutal
3:55 am
