explosive vest. the two terrorists set off explosives as panicked travelers ran to the outside. the third terrorist waitingout there, blew himself up and took dozens of victims with him. remarkably, it took only three hours to get the airport up and running again. when a similar attack happened in brussels this past march, the airport remained closed for 12 days. president obama was at a north america summit in ottawa when he insisted that isis would be defeated. >> they'll be defeated in syria. they're going to be defeated in iraq. and they are going to be on the run wherever they hide. and we will not rest until we have dismantled these networks. >> the director of the cia delivered a stark assessment today about the islamic state's terror ambitions. john brennan says that he would be surprised if isis is not plotting attacks in the united

by a decrease in the sales tax from 7% to 6%. but the fact is that would be phased in over a year and a half, and it wouldn't start until january. the gas tax hike could begin this friday. but christie says it's fair. >> they're going to see $100 increase per driver. in the gas tax they'll see a $400 plus savings from the sales tax cut per family. that's why we're doing that. and that's why it's called tax fairness. >> christie said that the plan has been endorsed by antitax crusader grover norquist. the main casino union is planning on going all in with a strike this weekend. today they learned how to mantane orderly ticket lines. 6500 workers are threatening to walk out to walk out of the bally's, ceasar's, harrah's, the
