4:01 am
more attacks are being planned in france and elsewhere in europe. overnight, french police raided the homes of over a hundred suspected terrorists. it's part of an international manhunt for this man who is believed to have helped organized the paris attacks that left at least 129 dead and hundreds more wounded. hours after the attack, he was stopped by police near the belgian border but released. france launched airstrikes against isis in syria overnight. president obama is at the g-20 summit in turkey where leaders are planning a response to the terrorism. our coverage begins in paris with johnathan vigliotti. jonathan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the police say they almost had salah in their grips. four hours after the attacks here on friday, he was pulled over in that car. police say he was actually questioned by authorities but at the time they had no idea who
4:02 am
they were speaking with and let him go. a wave of panic has gripped the french capital after friday's deadly attacks. hundreds of mourners ran from a vigil set up the republic square sunday night after mistaking firecrackers for gunshots. >> we know we should be afraid and stay home or if it's resistance to go out in paris. >> reporter: police say abde shortstop slam is one of eight who escaped and authorities linked him to this black car founds outside the labattaclan theater. isis claims responsibility for the sophisticated attacks carried out in under 30 minutes. investigators say the terrorists used i encrypted texting apps which allowed them to stay off the radar. >> it's caused a huge, huge blind spot for intelligence agencies and the law enforcement to actually get insight into what they are doing. >> reporter: french war planes began hitting isis targets in
4:03 am
the syria stronghold of raqqa on sunday. >> 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: president obama and world leaders gathered at the g-20 summit in turkey are vowing to intensify their response. in part, by sharing more intelligence information. and police say overnight, they carried out over 150 raids throughout the country, including in leone. they arrested five people there and inside their home, they found ammunition, many guns, and a rocket launcher. >> jonathan, before you go, i want to ask you about that stampede in paris. you were there. i want to know what it was like and does it really speak to how tense things are in paris right now? >> i'm not sure if i just lost you, but i heard you talk about the stampede and i know that we
4:04 am
were there when this all happened in republice square and was there covering the vigil that was there and just wrapped up and my crew and i were heading back to the hotel on the border and suddenly saw a flood of people, easily a thousand of them running. a wave of screaming. we had no idea what was going on. myself, my crew, and many other people stormed inside that hotel. we went up the fourth floor to cover inside another journalist's hotel room to look at the scene from outside. a lot of fear, of course. we now know what was at first believed to be gunshots was really just firecrackers. so you could just imagine how tense the situation is here. people still very much on edge as the investigation continues to unfold. >> i can only imagine. johnathan vigliotti in paris, thank you very much, jonathan. for more now, we are joined on the phone by robert ford, he is the former u.s. ambassador to syria and a senior fellow at the
4:05 am
middle east institute. thank you for joining us this early in the morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm good. let's talk about things moving forward. you know, france attacked isis strongholds in raqqa on sunday. do you think this terrorist attack in paris will trigger a wider response from the west and the coalition and maybe encourage these nations to double down on their attack of syria? -- of isis, rather? >> i don't think that it's going to mobilize western countries from nato, for example, to send ground forces into syria. president obama has always been very reluctant to send ground forces into syria the way george ju bush sent ground forces into iraq and i don't think france itself would send in ground forces. we may see more bombing attacks as you just mentioned, the french launched bombing rounds
4:06 am
yesterday on syria. but i don't expect much more than that. >> you know, the president recently came under some criticism for saying that isis had been contained. since then, there was some clasks that es talking about geographical containment. i want to ask you. you're familiar with with this organization. can isis really be contained? and, if not, then what? what do we do? what do we need to do to defeat isis? >> in order to defeat the islamic state, we have to confront it on many levels, both militarily, but also in terms of its recruitment. it is really important to get people in the muslim world, religious scholars, and political people, especially people with connections to the street in countries like iraq and syria, to denounce the islamic state, and not try to justify its actions, so that we
4:07 am
do both military action, but there are efforts to undercut its recruitment and, of course, the biggest recruitment tool for the islamic state in syria are the barrel bombs and the brutality at the offside regime which drives a lot of people to join the islamic state. >> you know, a number of leaders are meeting in turkey for the g-20 summit. what do you hope comes out of that? >> what i would hope would come out of the g-20 meetings is, number one, a stronger pledge from turkey and actions from turkey to better seal the border between turkey and syria. the islamic state is still able to move men, materiel over that border and it's harder for the islamic state than it used to be but i think the turks need to do still more. and, second, i hope there is great resolve among the countries in the g-20 to try to
4:08 am
find and the answer to the syrian conflict. >> ambassador robert ford, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. here in the united states, the attacks in paris prompted increased security. the department of homeland security says it knows of no credible or specific threat of an attack here, but across the country, from new york to los angeles, police have added extra patrols and areamping up surveillance efforts. don champion is at penn station in new york with details. >> reporter: good morning. high profile targets here in new york, there has been an increased police presence ever since 9/11 but this morning a heightened presence here and at other kril sites including train stations and sporting events and airports. >> everything was smooth. you know? it was obviously nerve wracking but we are home and we are safe. thankfully everybody did a good job. >> reporter: late yesterday an americanairlines flight was
4:09 am
delayed after passengers reported two men on their flight were acting suspiciously. police were called. all of the passengers were taken off the plane and the plane was searched. the two men were questioned, then released. >> they just wanted to be safe because of what happened in paris, i guess? that's what they told us. so after they took them out, they asked us to go off the plane and the police was there and they brought a dog in and i guess they searched everything. >> reporter: here in new york city, there is an increased police presence anywhere there are large crowds, but it's impossible to watch everywhere. >> we also have no shortage of soft targets, which is the problem. going to have to rely very heavily on public awareness as we always try to do, see something, say something. >> reporter: yesterday, there was near super bowl type security at nfl games across the country, as well as at nba arenas. now while federal law enforcement officials say they know of no credible threats against the u.s. right now, they
4:10 am
say the planning and scope of the attacks in paris are alarming and they are closing watching the investigation taking place in france. >> don champion here in new york, thank you. the attacks are sparking a renewed debate about the u.s. response to the syrian migrant crisis. president obama's plan to settle 10,000 refugees in the u.s. is getting pushed back. alabama senator will block any immigrants coming to his state and bobby jindal is questioning about refuges in his state. >> we are constantly doing the wrong thing. we don't know nippianything abo these people and don't know where they are coming in. >> i said we should take refuges. the administration said ten and i said we should go to 65 but only as if we have carefully screening and vetting process as
