britain raised their threat level. what does it mean? >> what it means they feel there is an imminent attack that is coming. i believe that, that is based on, how, this individual, abedi was radicalized and how he basically turned towards going operational. they probably feel that there are other people that are like-minded, maybe from same general area we have been hearing about the hotbed where he came from. and very possible that they think that, there are others that he is connected to. maybe they weren't helping with this attack. but others that were thinking along the same lines. now they may want to try to commit a similar type off take. i believe that's why they raised the level. >> steve, isis is claiming responsibility. we also have a few mr. details on the suspect 2, 2-year-old man, born in manchester. when you look at something like that. how do you establish how much involvement the group actually has in an attack like this. and how much credibility do you give off to the claim of responsibility? >> well you, got to look at it, from a different perspective. and we saw this -- over time
