centers closed this weekend. they are not used to this. this is only the third time in the history of belgium, of the country, the alert has been raised to level four, the highest. authorities of course are saying they would not have done that if they did not think the threat is serious, credible and real. you said the prime minister feared coordinated attacks similar to paris. the fact that salah abdeslam, the only terrorist linked to the paris attacks still at large, was born, raised and radicalized and may be hiding here. craig. >> claudio, thank you. >> the hunt for those involved in the paris attacks is going wider with a key arrest in turkey. nbc's global correspondent bill neely is here with the latest for us. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the investigation here and the crackdown on isis supporters continues. more than 800 raids across

dangerous. we didn't see them. it was very difficult to know where they were. >> they knew what they were doing? >> reporter: he said the woman shouted i'm scared, i'm scared. suddenly the suicide bomber detonates. >> the flash of lights and the building shook. >> reporter: the shields they used are bullet ridden. >> you can see here. >> reporter: the terrorists fired to the head. >> the bullets come by this way. you can see the exit. >> reporter: the death toll from the massacres a week ago has risen to 130. but for danny plaugee, targeted by the gunman at the concert, everything has changed. >> my life won't be the same. there will be a before and after as it was for you people in new

there was a before and after in september. >> reporter: early this morning, paris was trying to begin a new normal weekend, but exactly a week after the massacres, it was hard to forget the victims to have courage amid the terror. and overnight at the united nations, the security council adopted its first resolution against isis calling on countries to take all necessary means to confront isis which it called a global threat. remember, all five permanent members, including the u.s., have had citizens killed by isis. china, russia in the plane bombing and here in france. erica. >> bill neely, thank you. today, president obama is condemning the terror attack in the african nation of mali that left at least 20 people dead, including one american. nbc's keir simmons is there for

good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning. the jihadists who carried out the attack on the luxury hotel behind me may still be on the loose. mali malian president is urging a state of emergency and limiting the movements around the capital. the search for killers in the radisson hotel was assisted by security agents. it is not clear this morning how many armed gunmen it took to terrorize guests. two jihadists were killed. glass shattered where the men burst in as breakfast was under moved. these jihadists, they killed everyone, said a hotel employee. they went room to room, releasing those who could prove they were muslim by reciting passages from the koran.

mali security forces rushed to the attack to aid. >> our diplomatic security agents rushed in to pull people to safety. french troops and american forces in the country for training missions provided support as did the united nations forces. thanks to the swift action and skill of all involved, many people escaped. >> reporter: by then, at least 20 people killed. including american aid worker anita from maryland. her family spokesperson. >> we are devastated by the loss. >> reporter: the group claiming responsibility is the jihadist organization potentially linked to al qaeda, not isis, renewing their threat of global jihad. this attack claimed by the al qaeda affiliate so soon after the an tar attack on paris, people are worried that isis and al

>> keir simmons, thank you. >> we have a senior partner here about us. evan, nice to have you. >> thank you. >> the unprecedented terror warning for belgium for the an alert alert. and the precise coordinated attacks. what more do you know? >> we don't know much because the police in belgium are not saying much. they seem to have similar concerns to what happened in paris. if you look at what is going on in brussels, you get an idea. you have the one individual running right now from authorities. supposedly some are angry with him because he did not detonate a weapon. obviously if you are looking at the targets they are selecting or targets they are worried

about, metro, shops, malls, hotels, the same targets we saw in paris. i think it is fair to say it comes from the same source. isis or isis supporters. >> i want to pick up what keir said on the end there. the idea there may be some sort of rivalry brewing with the two. the al qaeda connected group that has taken credit for mali and isis in paris. >> we have to be careful. we have a communication. we are not sure it is authentic. let's just say it is. let's say it is al qaeda. the operation in mali could have been prepared for months or years. we don't know. this is something it wasn't and organized as paris. there were not suicide bomb vests. these guys had a plan. this is possibly a symptom of the competition with al qaeda and isis. it is not necessarily linked to what happened in paris. these folks have been planning

it is to be said one potential targets, mokhtar belmokhtar, was targeting the u.s. with the air strike in libya. it is fair to say the impetus for this did not come up last week or the week before. this could be many months old. >> evan coleman, thank you. >> the terror scares around the world have put the issue of immigration front and center in the presidential campaign. gop frontrunner donald trump is facing harsh criticism for calling for a muslim tracking database. he seems to be walking it back a bit. nbc's hallie jackson is in a very snowy des moines, iowa this morning. >> reporter: good morning, craig. the first real snowfall of the season. some campaign stops are canceled in iowa, but the snow does not stop more than 1,000 people attending a faith and family forum attended by several candidates.

donald trump is weathering his own storm about the comments on a muslim database. donald trump is clarifying. >> there was music blaring in the background. >> reporter: back tracking. blaming background noise for mishearing an exchange with nbc news in which he did not rule out a database for tracking muslims in the united states. >> i would implement that. absolutely. >> reporter: later? >> mr. trump, why would that not be the same thing as requiring germany? is there a difference? >> who are you with? >> i'm with nbc news. is there a difference? >> you tell me. >> reporter: now trump says? >> i want a database for the syrian refugees that obama wants to let in. >> reporter: trump looking to fend off more fallout as more groups denounce his remarks.

>> i don't think we should be engaging in the kind of inflammatory rhetoric i have been hearing from some of the republican candidates. >> reporter: republican rivals. >> you talk about closing mosques, you talk about registering people. that's just wrong. >> i'm a big fan of donald trump's, but not a fan of government registries of american citizens. >> reporter: trump still the frontrunner of the survey monkey poll. interrupted by protesters early, the loudest voices were saved for slamming promise esident obama. >> we had a president spending more time attacking republicans than more time than attacking isis. >> reporter: president obama visited refugee children in kuala lumpur overnight as the debate over syrian refugees entering the u.s. continues here

finally, a creative proposal with something of a food focus. take a look. a canadian man decided to pop the question using potatoes on his front lawn. more than 200, in fact. i don't know if she is a potato lover. apparently she liked the gesture. as you can see, the hug means she said yes. >> a man proposes to you using potatoes, you better say yes. >> why? >> i don't know. >> it's hard to find all of the potatoes in the same size to lay them out evenly. >> there you go. it is thoughtful and took planning. dylan, how about the weather? >> i should stay away from the potato talk. a lot of snow in parts of the midwest. south dakota picked up 18 inches of snow. in iowa, near des moines, we saw roads very slippery. we had cars sliding off the roads. you see this on the side of the road.

what we were floored by on the ground is how quickly the story was moving. in paris one moment and then saint-denis and then back there. until it was a constant flow of information that was fascinating fascinating. you watch people in paris and watch their attitude. resilience is a big thing. the love of liberty and freedom. those are really important values. deep in the french soul. watching that was fascinating. attitudes changed at the memorials. this is the one outside the bataclan theater. once they opened it up and people could get there, by far, the most emotional memorial we would go to. people would stand with their hands over their mouths looking at theater and hugging. they were there to show they were not going anywhere and supporting one another. it is with heavy hearts.
