[ gunshot ] >> shocking wasn't that? our continuing coverage begins now at this hour. in just a moment we'll go life to my colleague, richard lui. all that is coming up in just a moment. at this hour here's what we know in terms of statistics. 129 people dead. 103 bodies identified so far. more than 352 injured.

nearly 100 of them critically. this is the worst terrorist attack in europe in more than a decade and among the dead one young american student studying abroad, 23-year-old nohemi gonzalez of southern california. she was a junior at long beach state and her aunt reacted to the news. >> there's nothing she tnt want to do and everything she did she succeeded. she was a lovely young lady. she was strong. she was loving. she would do anything for anybody. >> she was studying design in paris. let's go to my colleague richard lui who is standing there in the stiff lights. good morning to you, richard. >> reporter: good morning to you, alex. those stories there are too many. as the government now is working at a location to help family members both domestic and foreign identify those remains

that they do have and move forward towards those painful steps, that one cal state long beach student's family no doubt feeling the pain today. that's what is happening here at this location. we' this is one of the largest vigils that gathered right behind me. the main monument about 25 feet in diameter. it is absolutely full of messages of flowers and people just standing, looking, not saying much. and then walking away and the faces, they are faces of hurt, alex and i must tell you it is difficult to actually see what they are going through here in paris. one of the individuals that was there during the attack two days ago on a friday at a 9:00 hour here local time and then

thereafter as law enforcement moved in we have max who lived right across the street from where this incident happened and please come on in here. when you were there and people were running out, you were describing to me that moment and if you can take us back. >> well, we were walking back home from a bar on a friday night and as we were walking we saw people running, screaming. there were shootings and we couldn't actually figure out where the shootings were located so we had to sort of stop in the middle of the road and find a shelter right there with random people got us in. >> reporter: and what did you think was happening? >> i was expecting a sort of a car with some terrorists people shooting. as it happened before in february. and someone said that it was le

bataclan where i was so i was quite afraid at that moment. >> reporter: right. >> and since they might be moving in a car we decided to not go anywhere close to that place. >> reporter: what was the most shocking for you as you draw the pictures of what you saw during and after? >> well, to be honest i didn't even hear the shootings, but when we actually managed to get back home it was around 4:00 a.m. and we were escorted by the police because my house -- my entrance is exactly is where it all happened. >> reporter: two exits, you live right across the street. >> i live right across the street and it's a very small street. i can catch le bataclan wi-fi from my place. these two exits where these people were rushing out they were right there where i live and as we were moving with the police, with the policeman they

were trying to kind of hide the bodies that were lying on the curb. there was blood every where. bullet shells. clothes. and glass. >> reporter: glass. bullet shells. blood. what was your reaction at that moment? >> well, i didn't even know what to expect, you know. they said we were going to see people dead but when you actually see it, it's kind of -- it's sad and you start to tremble inside. >> reporter: and i know that it was very difficult today now. how are you feeling about what has happened? >> well, to be honest, i think -- i mean you have to go on living, so it's sort of you forget about it. but as long as i -- i am far away from that place but since i live right there in a have to

show my i.d. to get back home and escorted by the police and there's still blood every where and glass. it feels like you're in a horrify. >> reporter: still today. >> still today. there's no one there but policemen. >> reporter: max thanks for coming down to share your story. i wish you the best. i know you're describing a situation you didn't wish to have to deal with, the movie you didn't wish you had to see. alex that has been a common theme, the scenes that parisians have seen, they have only seen in a theater. they wish it was a movie they never had to see. >> listening to max talk about the fact that the blood is still there, there's the shattered glass, he has to show i.d. to get back into his neighborhood, i mean that's just the trauma. no way to escape. the parisians have to be hardy to get through this.

richard we'll be back with you in just moments. police in belgium have taken five possible accomplices into custody. they were arrested in connection with a car which was seen just near that le bataclan theater around the time of the attacks. french police identified one of the attackers as a 29-year-old frenchman and the man's father and other relatives have been detained. another had syrian passport and had been traveling with the recent wave of refugees. joining me is general wesley clark. i want to talk about brussels. that's where nato is based. we have five new accomplices arrested in belgium, we have some identifying factors of the attackers what do you make of the investigation? >> i think it's good. and i think the more we can uncover about the method to this the better. but i think you can't be complacent because these

organizations always set up their operations in cells so one cell is separate from the other so the fact that there are five accomplices on this doesn't mean we'll necessarily be able to stop the next terrorist attack. so you got to work further up the tree. you got to intensify your internal security measures. that means more pro active police measures. better listening in on conversations. more attention to who comes in and out of your country and who is in your neighborhoods and cities and what their activities are and tying together local and national and international police efforts. >> all of this is how it should to be done as prescribed. the problem i'm hearing quite frequently is logistics of doing this is the biggest challenge. when you have hundreds of thousands of people if not millions funneling through different parts of europe in particular and at this point you look at say one person that slips through, he may have come in through one of those greek islands, coming in with migrants traveling in from syria, it's

one person. how do you have the manpower to supervise and do surveillance and research and -- >> it's a tough problem. it's a really tough problem. you don't want to shut down society. you don't want to stop people from traveling. you don't want to revoke passports. you don't want checkpoints at every corner. so how do you do it? first of all, it takes more resources than most of the european countries have put into it. you simply have to invest. we put in an enormous amount of money into the united states in homeland security since 9/11. and we completely changed our system. our local police now work with the fbi, and state police and everything is integrated and information is passed back and forth. that has to happen all up and down the chain in europe and can't to be done without money. need better technology. and you may have to change some

aspects of the european privacy laws. they are very strict especially germans and may require greater information sharing. people don't want that but the protection of society has to come first. >> you mention these groups operate in cells and you're echoing the news we got from the belgium mayor this morning saying that we can consider this means they have a network as opposed to having five people in brussels. talk about the brussels you know as your time there? >> it's very diverse. cut up into neighborhoods. people from all over the world there. there's a strong presumption of privacy. it's an international city. it's an international cultural in belgium. so even though people may speak the same language they don't mind their neighbors. homeland security secretary

janet napolitano started this program called see something, say something. that's really the basis of america's homeland security. it has to start at the bottom. and people have to pay attention to their neighbors and surroundings and that's what has to be engendered in europe. >> you talk about subculturals. this mozambique neighborhood is known to be home to turks, to different social and political groups and the like. how do you get away from that. these close societies living adjacent to each other. how do you open it up. >> it takes efforts with multiple organization. the united states is a pluralistic country. from their neighborhood associations, athletics for kids. you have picture this super imposed on europe where it doesn't work that way. people go to different -- they

have different faiths, go to different chumps or synagogues or mosques, if they go. they go at different times, they have different jobs, different culturals and a lot stay within their family groupings and their regional groupings so they don't go outside the home, they are not sitting on the steps, not watching the kids ride bicycles and exchanging gossip through the neighborhood like we would picture in an american neighborhood. these are neighborhoods that are different. >> one last question, sir from usa military perspective does this change our approach in the battle against isis? >> well it really doesn't. i mean, we've known that we have to do three things. we have to strengthen our homeland security and internal security with our friends and allies to protect against incidents like this. we've known we have to strengthen the grip to prevent new recruits or discourage new recruits from going to isis. we've known we have to have a coalition. put together to work against sistine region. you can't solve it simply with

an invasion of american troops. there's going an american military component but a huge american diplomatic component. and this is not just a terrorist problem. this is a geostrategic problem in that iran and saudi arabia and turkey are contending for influence and isis is right in the middle of it as a sunni organization. >> we have to remember american involvement anywhere can inspire backlash which is not something that's welcomed. general wesley clark, thank you so much for your insights. let's go back to richard lui who is in paris. richard? >> reporter: alex, thank you. just to give you a sense of what's been happening a 100 feet to my right there's been a very large crowd of maybe 200 or 300 gathering. you can hear them clapping here and there. we were wondering why. what's happening is that they are playing john lennon's "imagine."

something they played last night and this morning. this morning with a piano and then somebody played "imagine" again with a guitar. that is the sense of what parisians in this area, which some might equate with the williamsburg of new york or the mission district in san francisco, these sorts of areas where young and nontourists normally do hang out. that's the mood right now in this afternoon hour in this borough of paris. we now get to talk about what has been the very latest and i want to thank you for coming back again, virginia. vivian from "time." tell me what you've learned within the last couple of hours? >> well, basically two tracks going on today. one is the investigation which is hugely urgent and at this point has become an

international investigation. it seems like all signs point to very important role being played by belgium and this is not for the first time that we've seen a lot of coordination going on from belgium. the other thing that's taking place is the politicking, and although you don't see it in this neighborhood, there is some very, very high level meetings going on at the presidential palace about a mile from where we're standing in which they are trying to figure out what their retaliation will be. there's a lot of talk we're at war, this is an act of war. it sounds like post-9/11. americans will find this somewhat familiar. the question is, how are they going to retaliate? they are already striking at isis positions. >> what would you think based on the history of how the government has dealt with domestic terrorism, what does that inform you of what the potential options are

considering for this? >> the options are very limited essentially because they've already done all the things that they thought that they needed to do. they hugely stepped up human intelligence after the january attacks against "charlie hebdo." they began bombing isis positions back in late september. so it's nearly two months that they have been involve in that coalition. they declared a state of emergency. a lot of state of emergency measures are things they've already done and therefore it's very difficult for president francois hollande to come out and say this is how we'll solve the problem. the problem really is french society is extremely mixed. you have the biggest muslim pop liegs in europe here. many living in very poor or underservi underserviced areas in paris. this is not a new problem. you had those suburbs blow up in riots ten years ago. now you have perhaps 1500 french

citizens who have been in iraq fighting with isis, many are filtering back home or back into europe and the government has still failed to sort out a strategy about how to deal with this. >> thank you. i appreciate you giving your perspective. 15 years you've spent in the country at least. i appreciate that. and here you can see some of the scene, individuals gathering at the vigil. we have groups of law enforcement that are scouring the area. that is sort of the dichotomy that paris is going through on this first day of mourning. we'll have more on msnbc. stay with us, we'll be right back. i know how it is. you're all set to book a flight using your airline credit card miles. and surprise! those seats sometimes cost a ridiculous number of miles, making it really hard to book the flight you want. luckily, there's a better way... with the capital one venture card. with venture, you'll earn unlimited double miles

"saturday night live" opened their show a little differently last night in fact perfectly paying tribute to the victims of the paris terror attacks. let's listen. >> paris is the city of lights and here in new york city we know that light will never go out. our love and support is with everyone there tonight, we stand with you. [ speaking french ] and now live from new york, it's saturday night. >> it was perfect, wasn't it? for many it was remy ai reminis after 9/11. well the harrowing news out

of paris became a major point of conversation at another event last night in iowa where the three democratic candidate for president, hillary clinton, bernie sanders and martin o'malley took the debate stage in des moines for a movement silence dedicated to the victims of attacks. then the candidates offered their own thoughts and america's role in fighting isis. >> our prayers weather the people of france tonight. but that is not enough. we need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like isis. >> together leading the world, this country would rid our planet of this organization called isis. >> this is the new face of conflict and warfare. not in the 20th century but the new face of conflict and warfare

in the 21st century. >> joining me from iowa is alex. so how did the campaign shift the strategy response to the attacks. obviously they had a day, heads up this was going to be a dominant topic. what kind of work went into it? >> reporter: despite that day of heads up there was scrambling up to 1:00 yesterday renegotiating the format between the candidates, the dnc and cbs the sponsor that got a little bit heated on one conference call as they were trying to renegotiate introductions. the candidates had to throw out their script for opening remarks focusing instead on paris from what they were going to focus on instead. the terrorism paris attacks dominated the first 35 minutes of the debate. though they still did get to other issues and cbs said they wanted to focus on other issues not just terrorism. but there were even rumors floating around des moines

friday night that the debate would be cancelled. in the end a major issue. probably defining issue on national security which has not been a major part of the democratic primary but still a lot of issues discussed. >> it was a major issue. hillary clinton expanded her views against isis last night. let's take a listen to that. oh, i wish we had that sound. but here's a question. as a former secretary of state, clinton certainly had a lot of experience with this situation. in fact bernie sanders holding her feet to the fire, martin o'malley to an extent as well because they associated her with the obama administration as secretary of state. how did that play out? >> reporter: i talked to a top strategist yesterday he acknowledged clinton had a huge advantage on foreign policy. still the other two candidates won't let her have the issue showing she has to answer for

her vote on the iraq war and for her support for intervention in libya. she really spent the first 35 minutes, that portion on foreign policy on defense from both of the other candidates and from the moderator john dickerson prying her with questions. if you didn't see it in iraq or libya how can we expect you to see it coming in the future if you're commander-in-chief. basically judgment should be more important than experience. >> with that question on hillary clinton's war vote with iraq, she has not withered when collateraled. if you look and give an assessment and even look at sort of the reviews today, if you will, did this hurt her at all? did they expect this to be something she has to face on the campaign trail? >> reporter: i don't think the iraq war vote really did. we'll see if the statute of limitation on that vote has expired or if she's already paid the price for it in 2008. the weaker moments for her came

on other issues. it came on wall street reform which ended up with a connection to terrorism. one moment she's catching flack for she was on defense from bernie sanders for taking a lot of money from wall street and political contributions and she used the 9/11 terror attack to justify that saying that as a senator from new york she worked hard to rebuild lower manhattan, the area around wall street and she won't apologize for that. took immediate flack on social media from republicans and her opponents on that. that was her weaker issue more than iraq. >> i think especially when that sound bite will be played without its context that will be something she will have to be answering for. good point there alex. thank you very much. still ahead, global security goes from dominating last night's debate to come to naturing the agenda on president obama's big overseas trip to the g-20.

say nay a sinai and in beirut isis has the ability to strike beyond its caliphate in iraq and syria. the question now what will the u.s. and allies will do. turkey is a perfect place, a country that's been attacked by terrorists. it's a transit point for fighters traveling through to syria something that the united states want the turks to stop. a lot of issues on the table and certainly those attacks in paris, threat of global terrorism will dominate. now back to you. >> thank you very much. let's go back to paris and my colleague bill neely standing by with the very latest in the investigation. what your hearing from there where you are this morning? >> reporter: yes. good morning, alex. from a city that's now officially marking the first day of three days of mourning. but for the police there's no rest because this is a manhunt. it's not clear that one maybe

more of the attackers got away because in the suburbs of this city police found a car that had several kalashnikov rifles inside. there have been arrests in belgium, arrests on the french-belgium border. isis said there were eight attackers. seven bodies were found. police believe one or more of these attackers may have gotten away. police are aware avenue video that appears to show the moment the deadliest attack began. ♪ friday night and the band is playing to a sell out crowd when suddenly gunfire. [ gunshot ] a band member immediately scrambling to safety. 89 people were dead by the time the gunmen were attacked. french s.w.a.t. teams storming the concert hall. a photojournalist working for "time" magazine capturing the

from the freedom tower in new york to landmarks in sidney, rio and around the world they displayed the national colors of a country that feels itself at war that is in mourning today. a few hours ago i spoke with the deputy mayor of paris who said it's not just that we feel at war he said we witnessed hell here on friday night. it was our worst nightmare. another young woman i spoke to at one of the restaurants who knew some of the dead who said first of all, i was shocked, then saddened and i'm waiting to feel angry because she said we should all feel angry in paris at these atrocities. i'm at the site where after the "charlie hebdo" attacks there was a massive show of solidarity and unity, a million or more parisians came out here in january. they've just been hit again. i think later in this week you'll see probably more shows

of solidarity and unity here in paris. >> absolutely. that means you're right there by the plaza gentleman dela republiqi. as we did yesterday we were trying to piece together things. we're not the investigators here. i want to talk about the discrepancy between seven versus eight attackers and where investigators believe the one missing link came from because as we understood yesterday from the french prosecutor of paris, he went through things in that long news conference and talked about those numbers of dead outside the stadium. he talked about one suicide bomber detonating his vest outside of a restaurant and then talked about two suicide bombers detonating their vests inside the less bataclan theater and police shooting dead one of the attackers. so where is this one missing link allegedly coming from?

>> you're right, alex. police prosecutors here and in other countries -- paris prosecutors stuck very much to the facts, very much to what they know. what they know is that they find the bodies of seven attackers. now in an earlier statement by isis, isis said that they were eight attackers. there's a presumption in police minds one got away, one is missing. they also say they found a car with kalashnikovs inside. a car they believe was one of the cars used in the attacks. guns that they believe were guns used in the attacks. so the presumption again is either that the eighth person, if isis is to be believed, was in that car, or an accomplice or accomplices were in that car. one other note is that intelligence officials believe that the seven suicide vests

that the attackers were wearing were quite sophisticated and that they were probably manufactured by a munitions expert. it was more advanced than some suicide belts or vests that you might have got in the past. they believe there's the possibility that a munitions specialist maybe here or in belgium where they think there's a link to this plot but they think there's people beyond the foot soldiers who actually caused mayhem on the streets here, that this took some preparation, that this was something that involved, you know, logistics, that involved explosives experts. what the paris prosecutor said yesterday they won't giveaway some of the things that they are looking into in the future. they are just telling us what they know in the past. so there is possibly at least that's what the police believe there are more accomplices. this is a manhunt.

>> absolutely. and the suicide vests you talk about they were all identical as well which added to the collaborative evidence that this was a coordinated attack. all right. bill neely in paris. we'll speak with you again. we'll have more from paris when we continue including what it's like to be part of a terror cell from someone who once was. boy: once upon a time, there was a nice house that lived with a family. one day, it started to rain and rain.

[ gunshot ] >> pretty shocking, right? hard to distinguish between gunfire and perhaps teen beat of the drums there. but here's what we know right now about the paris attacks. 129 people dead. 103 bodies identified so far.

more than 352 injured. 100 critically. it is the worst terror attack in paris in more than a decade. police in belgium upped their numbers. took seven possible accomplices into custody. officials say they were arrested in connection with a car that was seen near le bataclan theater right around the time of the attacks. some of the survivors of friday night's attack in paris described how those gunmen worked their way through the auditorium. went row by row shooting concert goers before taking hostages. then they detonated their suicide vests. this is a pattern how isis operates. we've seen the images of hostages in syria that were beheaded and later when that scene was as shock setting hostages on fire. on friday they went after the softest of soft targets civilians far off the tourist

trail, gathering to listen to music, watch soccer, have a drink at the end of a long work week until they were targeted by terrorists looking to inflict maximum damage. here to help us to understand this radical shift a former undercounterterrorism operative for canada's version of cia and co-author of the book undercover jihadi. i'm so glad to have you here to speak with us about this. my first question when you were undercover with toronto 18 was there ever discussion of conducting a terrorist attack like what we saw in paris friday night? >> yeah. one of the main plots of the toronto 18 group was to storm the parliament buildings in the capital city, take the members of parliament hostage and behead them one by one to for the removal of canada forces from afghanistan. that was just one plot.

another one was to take one ton of money nitrate truck bombs, detonate them downtown at rush hour to maximize the number of civilian casualties. this notion of attacking soft targets, maximizing human casualties especially in the case of paris we discovered they had nails in their vests to again do exactly that. >> what was it about these specific targets. you get inside the mindset of these terrorists how do they go about choosing their targets. there was a stadium. did they know french president francois hollande was going to be there. were they targeting him. did they miss their mark by not having the suicide bombers not make it inside the stadium to inflict further damage? >> you know what's interesting is that it was actually a muslim guard that stopped the last suicide bomber who was trying to get into the stadium. it's very likely they knew that the president was there. i'm sure it was mentioned in the media. but in terms of target selection and site selection you see it's

much easier to hit these kinds of soft targets. they are not guarded. we don't like the idea of posting armed guards or armed troops anyway, police outside these places. you know military targets, police targets are harder to hit. and you're probably going to get fewer casualties because the military and police shoot back. so really it comes down to target availability. >> i'm curious is there a random stones it at all. if we look at where they attack in terms of the restaurants and that one concert hall it's been suggested that whoever these attackers were had intimate knowledge of paris. you have a cambodian restaurant. a theater with up to 1,000 people there. we note it's an american band. this band eagles of death band based in southern california does it play into the choosing or is it random based on where they think they can inflict the damage?

>> this was not random. this was certainly planned. one does not decide to suddenly take a theater hostage. you know who will be there. you know there will be a lot of people there. these are very deliberately chosen targets. my view, very easy to just go off and start shooting up places. we know this from active shooters in the u.s. context. a lot of times they don't pre-plan or see who is there, how many people are there. generally speaking you can go anywhere and do these kinds of attacks. but this was most definitely planned well in advance. >> all right. i hope you'll come back and see us too. lot more questions i want to throw your way. thank you. we'll return to paris right after this to learn more about the american college student killed in the attacks. hat spark. moves the world forward. invest with those who see the world as unstoppable.
