and right now at 5:30, the u.s. says it is more quickly and readily sharing military planning with france in the fight against isis now. >> president obama says there will be no ground troops, but rather an intensification of the

current strategy. the u.s. military has just restricted travel plans to paris for all dod personnel and tonight we're learning more about the american college student who was among the 129 killed in those attacks nohemi gonzalez known to her friends and family azmi s mimi. gonzalez is from california, a senior at cal-state long beach. one professor called her a shining star. we have team coverage on these attacks including how isis operatives may be communicating under the radar, and we'll begin with chris lawrence and a timeline of that attack. chris? >> this was a coordinated attack that unfolded in less than 30 minutes and now we know terrorists that have hit half a dozen looks in the heart of paris. it all started at 9:20 friday night outside the stade de france. thousands of fans and president francois hollande were watching

a soccer match between france and germany. two more went off before everyone was evacuated from the there and then about 9:25, just a few minutes later, terrorists drove up to several bars and restaurants just south of the stadium and started shooting people. in one of those attacks, 19 people died. about 20 minutes after that first blast was heard the attackers stormed the bataclan theater where an american rock band was playing and this is where most of the victims were killed. 89 people and as police stormed that theater, two of the attackers blew themselves up and a third was shot and killed. so let's take a look at the bottom line, the big picture. in all, at least 129 people died and represent 39 nationalists and seven of the suspected terrorists are dead. police did find a black volkswagen outside the bataclan and right now there is a massive man hunt under way for this man. intelligence officials think he's the brother of one of the

attackers who died and he may be the one who rented that car. jim? >> chris lawrence, the french military plans to intensify attacks on isis in syria. ten fighter jets took part in raids yesterday and known isis strong holds. the planes focused on the area of raqqa. it was carried out in coordination with american forces and 20 bombs were dropped and it hit a command center and recruitment center for jihadists and refugees are just one of the many concerns intelligence officials have as they prevent a similar attack from recurring here. nbc chief justice correspondent pete williams explains the challenges that the fbi and cia are facing as they try to disrupt future terror plots. >> the key to prevention in the u.s. officials say is good intelligence and good warning that something is being planned. we heard this from the fbi in the run-up to the july 4th

liday where there were a series of arrests of people that they thought might be close to taking action and that's the kind of information they need and they say that that is the number one priority right now for the government. the fbi has instructed all of its field offices, all of its agents that monitor terrorism suspects to increase their surveillance. this is an enormously manpower-intensive operation to keep an eye on all of the potential suspects out there. the fbi has been quite transparent in saying they have terrorism investigations in every state. so that's one part of this. the second part is trying to monitor people who may be terrorism suspects and this is the going dark problem that u.s. officials have really been warning about since may and we're hearing about it again because of the paris attacks for the simple fact of -- two facts, really, one is that the french apparently had no idea this was going to happen and no specific intelligence about this plan which suggests that the plotters

may have found a way to communicate with each other in a way that can't be monitored and secondly the discovery in the home of one of the terror suspects of a gaming console that european officials have said has been used as a meeting place where people can go online to play a video game and chat with each other as though they were playing that game in a way that is almost impossible to monitor. it's not encrypted, but it's just hard to know when these people are going to get together and when the government should be listening in. >> and that was pete williams. nbc's lester holt will continue our coverage of these attacks with a special edition of nbc "nightly news" from paris tonight right after nbc news 4 at 6:00. sports can often be a welcome distraction during tough times like these and a big win for the redskins was just that for a lot of folks and it proved to be an emotional win for kirk cousins and his dad. that's dad wearing his son's jersey and the skins hat getting a big hug and game ball.

the paris attacks have put many leaders in our nation at odds with the response to the humanitarian crisis in syria. we have just learned that governor terry mcauliffe of virginia wants to block syrian refugees from entering the commonwealth for the next two years. he joins at least 14 other governors so far who say they're planning or plan to ban any new refugees fleeing the violence in syria to come to their states. d.c. and maryland are not changing their policies now toward refugees and the concern comes after reports that a syrian passport turned up near the body of one of the attackers

in paris who apparently entered europe among a waive of refugee. republican presidential candidates are also challenging the idea. >> to bring to america tens of thousand of syrian muslims, is something short of lunacy. >> there's currently no ability to vet these people and by doing so we are putting america at risk. >> president obama said rejecting refugees web a betrayal of our country's values. today we learned that a body that was found over the weekend on the baltimore washington parkway is indeed that maryland woman who has been missing for two weeks. news 4's tracee wilkins spoke to the woman's husband who is now trying to process all of this and figure out how it happened. >> reporter: u.s. park police searched by air and on the ground for lisa renee wyche, the 46-year-old was last seen on the southbound shoulder of the bw parkway on halloween night. her car had run out of gas.
