4:03 pm
they are. they are losers. alison: that message was conveyed while in bethlehem as he wrapped up this leg of the first overseas trips with stops in the middle east. jonathan: anti-terror raids are happening across manchester and the u.k. for that it maer. the hope is prevent another attack happening if one is in the works. we are joined by former f.b.i. agent brad garrett. you have experience in counterterrorism. what is the main concern right now overseas or is this more of a knee-jerk reaction? >> they are concerned about other attacks. was this particular bomber connected to other bombers? they may link him to others via the bomb itself, how it was built. what was it made of. and all of his social contacts. i suspect a number of the raids have to do with people he has been communicating with in recent days. >> the scary part of this. paint a picture of the terrain.

radicalized people in manchester, whether they are homegrown or whether they did time in one of the camps. that is the reality. there are thousands too. many for the law enforcement to pick up without probable cause. what are they to do? brad: this goes to how good is your informant network within the various communities in and around manchester? as we both know that is touch and go. sometimes it's good. sometimes it's not. as a result, you end up to a certain extent being at the mercy of a particular event happening and somebody tipping you off at the last minute. using your number of literally thousands of people to keep track of, they may be keeping track of some of them. they stop, move on to others. then the person they left a week later perhaps maybe this kid would fall in this category decides to do something operational. you don't really know that unless someone comes to out and touches you
4:05 pm
>> last question, we don't have a lot of time but a lot of folks' concerns is the attacks may play out in the united states. is it that our network is intelligence is good we haven't seen it or are we lucky so far? brad: we haven't been totally lucky. we have the attacks like ohio state not long ago with a knife and a car. we have had events. but the short answer is the following. we don't have the volume they do of the people that are probably in dissent, that don't like who we are. they have assimilated much better here. but we do have an issue here. these attacks are easy, because they are in soft unsecure areas that it really -- they are almost impossible to defend against unless somebody tells us. jonathan: it is a wakeup call. we have had a lot recently. thank you for your time. nancy? nancy: there has been incredible outpouring of support online. lindsey mastis with the reaction you have seen on social media. lindsey: there is an
