scale. explosions and gunfire rang out as the reign in verviers began. >> two of the suspects were killed, a third one has been arrested. >> reporter: belgian officials say they were part of a group of terrorists they've had under surveillance. ic lambic screamists who returned from the battlefield in syria to wage war back home. >> what made you decide to act now? >> we thought the threats for terrorist attacks was very imminent. >> imminent days hours? >> it could have been hours, no more than a day or a few days. >> reporter: he said suspects were plotting to attack belgian police and police stations. they planned to kip and behead a law enforcement official and post it on the internet.
7:05 am
authorities have said at the moment they found no link between the suspected terrorist plots here and the attacks in paris last week that left 17 people dead. the suspects were already under watch long before those attacks took place. but those assaults left all of europe on edge. per capita belgium has europe's highest numbers of citizens who joined the fight alongside syria's rebels and what worries them here is what happens when the fighters return home. i asked the magistrate about the alleged plot to behead a law enforcement official he would not comment on it. but he said suspects were planning to murder policemen on the street. gayle? >> thank you, charlie d'agata. there were more raids in france. they arrested 12 suspects and paris evacuated a train station after a bomb threat. meanwhile, some 19,000 websites reported being hacked this

7:07 am
they've been making sights for the last year or so. it was a wakeup call. these fighters going abroad whether it was iraq yemen or elsewhere pose a threat. it looks like europe's war with those in their midst with those plotting attacks. >> there seems to be juan a connection between the suspects and isis. what do you make of that? >> there may be gayle. i think to the extent that these individuals are flowing into syria and iraq they're making connections with and training with groups like the islamic states. so it's very possible that these are individuals that are well trained, funded perhaps even directed to go back and attack. but i think what authorities are most worried about now is paris is really an accelerant. that this is now motivating those that may or may not have been directed by foreign terrorist groups to now attack in place. that's why you see this
7:08 am
opportunistic around the continent. >> it's interesting because we learn thad the suspects in yemen had travelled to yemen. we learn thad the suspects in belgium had traveled to syria. i think the question many of us have here at home are we keeping tabs on those traveling to those countries and alps reports that britain may be raising its terror level? >> well, certainly the uk and the rest have been lacking at this threat for some time norah, and the u.s. authorities have been looking at the hundred or 200 or so who have flown in and out of syria and iraq, but it's difficult. first of all, we've got blind they'll flow through turkey. it's hard to monitor. and we don't know what these individuals are intends to do. but the fbi over the last year and a half or so have made dozens of arrests around the country and certainly they're being vigilant in the wake of paris. >> onzarate thank you very
7:09 am
much. their mission is to help fight isis in syria. military officials say u.s. troops can train about 5,000 recruits in the first year. turkey qatar, and saudi arabia have offered to host the training. critics say the training will be too slow to be effective. the ohio man accused of planning to bomb the capitol will appear in court. you see him there holding the sign. it was an inside job. house speaker john boehner said a controversial government surveillance program deserves credit for stopping this alleged plot. >> the first thick that strikes me is we would have never known about this had it not been for the fisa program and our ability to collect information on people who pose an imminent threat. >> authorities have not
7:10 am
confirmed if any of the cell phone or data surveillance led to cornell's arrest. president obama will have more meetings today at the white house with british prime minister david cameron. the two leaders are expected to discuss topics ranging from international terror to the economy. cameron is also expected to press the president on government snooping. bill plante is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this meeting comes less than a week after the white house took quite a beating from critics because the president didn't show up in paris to join other leaders in paris last sunday but they say cameron's visit was planned long before the attacks. cameron arrived on thursday for a working dinner with the president to exchange ideas about combatting terrorism. the prime minister also promised to ramp up the pressure on u.s. companies like facebook and snapchat. both of them have promised no

lasting digital footprint and that leaves the intelligence community in the .dark this is a battle cameron, whose party is facing a tough re-election, is waging at home as well. >> if i'm a prime minister i will make sure it's a comprehensive piece of legislation that makes sure we do not allow terrorists safe space to communicate with each other. >> reporter: white house press secretary josh earnest said it's a challenge. >> the need to protect our national security are so important. >> reporter: it's a challenge fbi director james comey recently highlighted in an interview with scott pelley on "60 minutes." >> the notion that we would market devices that would allow someone to place themselves beyond the law troubles me a lot. as a country, i don't know why we would want to put people beyond the law. that is, sell cars with trunks that couldn't ever be opened by

law enforcement with a court order or sell an apartment that could never be entered even by law enforcement? >> reporter: the white house said that these issues are also going to be discussed at another upcoming cyber summit next month in california. there leaders around the world will gather to unpack all of these complicated threats. but as the white house spokesman acknowledged, whatever comes out of that meeting it could be obsolete before it has time to be effective. charlie? >> bill, thanks. prime minister david camm ron will be a guest on "face the nation" on sunday. effective today americans will be able to travel to cuba without a license for spechk reasons. they include educational trips and family visits. general touriw#sm is still banned. americans can still use credit cards on the island but trade embargoes are still in effect. pending approval american

7:15 am
h3n2. it twisted after the vaccine was already made. the reason this is a problem last year when we saw h3n2, it's a severe strain and 29,000 people died. 23% protection is better than zero which is what you have if you don't get the shot. also as flu season progresses later you see the emergence of other strains. h1n1 and influenza b. this flu shot is matched to those. you might see more progression at flu season progresses. >> is there anything here to project that next year we'll do better? >> i certainly hope so. flu vaccine gets even better. there are good things along the
