has told vladmir putin tests on the wreckage proved a home-made explosive device, as he described it, blew the plane up. the continuing suspicion is that the pom was placed on board at sharm el sheikh. a lapse in security. the egyptians resisted admitting to. the two airport workers that have been arrested haven't been confirmed. the responsibility has long been claimed by the so-called islamic state, saying it was retaliating for the russian bombing campaign against them. vladmir putin has vowed to find them and to punish them. >> thank you very much, mark. russian warplanes and cruise missiles are hitting more isis targets in syria this morning. a pentagon official says they carried out a number of strikes on the isis strong hold of raqqa. it is unclear if those attacks were in response to the confirmation a bomb destroyed that russian airliner. those russian attacks are liting the same city that french jets

are targeting france warplanes drop more bombs overnight. french police lawnched another 128 raids. france's government has mobilized 115,000 police officers and troops to protect the public. liz palmer is in paris where america's top diplomat is promising to help the french. liz, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. it's still a tense situation here. people are nervous, but what you just mentioned the news from the interior ministry that there are 124r0i6789, not only police but soldiers across the country to keep people safe has gone some what i to reassuring them. here in paris, secretary of state john kerry met the french president francois hollande to extend his condolences and to discuss how the two countries could expand their cooperation. later, secretary kerry said the international rooch of isis

terrorist demansd and even tougher response. >> and everybody understands that with lebanon's attack, with what's happened in egypt, with ankara, turkey, with the attacks on paris, we have to step up our efforts to hit them at the core, where they're planning these things. >> reporter: france has already hit isis in its capital, raqqa with the biggest french bombing raid yet over the weekend and even more airstrikes last night. the french military says the latest targets include a command post and a training camp. meanwhile the manhunt for the suspect na got away salah abdeslam grows. the magazine says he rented two hotel rooms south of paris before the attacks where police found empty pizza boxes and

syringes, which could have been for drugs or making bombs. at the top of the list is the presumed mastermind abdelhamid abaaoud. he joined a group of french isis fighters in syria and he may still be hiding there now. we've also just had confirmation that french president francois hollande will go to washington in the coming days. that will mark the beginning of a much expanded intelligence sharing operation that everybody hopes will prevent more attacks. nor. >> reporter: >> really interesting. liz palmer, thank you so much. >> and the intense search for salah is center often brussels, where he and his family lives. alan pizzy is in the neighborhood that is linked to the mastermind of the attacks. alan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. within 400 belgium series, the

highest per capita number in europe and at least 30 of them came from this suburb. a series of raids here by belgium police turned out to be futile t. main suspect is still at large. salah abdeslam is described as dangerousings belgium has issued a international warrant for his arrest. one of his brothers blew himself up with a suicide vest in the paris attacks. a third brother, mohammed, said his family could not understand why they did it. we are a deep thinking of the victims, the families of the victims, he said. but you must also understand, we have a mother, we have a family and he is still her son. french investigators believe this man abdelhamid abaaoud employmented the terrorist attacks. he has been linked to a filed terrorist plot in belgium and an attempt to gun down passengers on a high speed train to paris filed by three americans.

abdelhamid abaaoud grew up in a brussels suburb where the jihadist and criminal meet. one stop shopping for drugs, explosives and automatic weapons, a terrorist's dream. a security nightmare. they call for better cooperation among european security agencies. >> the only way to block some possible terrorist activities before a terrorist attack. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence officials say the mastermind behind the attacks is the chief isis operator for europe. he's believed to be in syria, where four of the plotters are also thought to have gone. gayle. >> thank you very much alan pizzy in belgium. isis released a few video threatening attacks in the u.s. it shows an isis fighter saying, we swear we will strike america at its center in washington. police have now increased patrols. federal officials say they have not seen a direct isis threat to

the united states. says t ense secretary ash carter not involve him. >> i wouldn't say that anything that happened over the last two days is surprising to me, shouldn't be surprising to anyone. this is an enemy that needs to be defeated. we need capable and motivated local forces who can keep the place running without extremism after isil has been defeated. now they're hard to come by a in syria and iraq, but they do exist. >> charlie d'agata is in irbil, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, here they hunt down terrorist suspects every day. mostly at night. last night we spent the night with a squad going after suspects in one of the worst isis atrocities this country has seen. we met the general and his men at a secret location south of kirkuk. he told us they were after four

isis suspects. a sleeper cell, lying low among the local population plotting terrorist attacks in iraq. down a muddy road, they nab the first one. he didn't put up any resistance. but in the back of the truck, it's starting to sink in. the targets, men suspected of taking part in a massacre of as many as 1,700 army recruits when isis overran a military base in tikrit last year. lined up by the hundreds, shot dead in shallow graves. >> who is this young man? the general said the men they were after is among those that pulled the trigger. the next is a warehouse where they hope to find three other suspects. they only found one. he is blindfolded and taken away for interrogation. two more men from the suspected terror cell are still at large. now they know their cohorts have

already been taken in. the general told us because they hide in plain sight and strike in civilian areas the suspects they go after every week pose more of a threat than the isis militants his forces face on the front lines. charlie. >> charlie d'agata, thank you very much. >> incredible reporting he is doing there. >> to see people on top of it that way, it's scary but comforting at the same time. >> agreed. agreed. >> president obama said in turkey on monday that the paris attack will not change his strategy against isis. at a news conference we asked him if american airstrikes are doing enough. >> reporter: have you underestimated their abilities and will you widen the rules of engagement for u.s. forces to take more aggressive action? >> no, we haven't underestimated our abilities. this is precisely why we're in iraq as we speak and why we're operating in syria as we speak. if you have a handful of people

who don't mind dying, they can kill a lot of people. that's one of the challenges of terrorism. >> former cia director is here from sclichlt t. retired general is with a global mismanagement firm. form. >> good morning, charlie. >> let me begin with the question, with your experience and only in, if you had t advise the president this morning learning what he said yesterday, what would you tell him? >> i would tell him, charlie, that what we are doing right now in syria and iraq against isis is under resourced and overregulated. we need to commit more to the fight. we need to loosen our rules of engagement. a classic point. 36 hours ago, an american power exploded over 100 tanker trucks in syria used to fuel the

treasury of the islamic state. we could have done that on thursday. but we only decided to do it on sunday. i think there are a whole host of decisions like that, that if we loosen the rules of engagement, we can actually more strongly take the fight to the islamic state. >> how do you defeat people who don't mind killing themselves and dying in the process? >> right. look. number one, you reduce tear capabilities. you make them less able to do that. but there is another element here that we haven't seen before. this is a fight where the ideological struggle, the motivation is tightly tied to their success on the battlefield. these guys are claiming they're enacting the will of god and they are the hand of god and the more they are successful, the more they look inevitable, the more they mote viet the kind of people he just described. so if we can break this narrative. we actually begin to break their ideological foundations.

>> you heard, general, the president saying no u.s. ground troops, with the closest military advisers, that it would be a mistake. you have said airstrikes alone won't do the job. who should be our ground partner? >> well, ideally, our ground partner will come from the local area. we've had some success with the kurds. i think as you know the kurds are self littleing. they have been very powerful in and near the kurdish areas, but for them to go much further into arab lands, their usefulness begins to reduce, so we need arab allies on the ground stiffened, stiffened assisted and abled by a larger american foot print. no one is calling for american maneuver units to return to the desert in iraq or enter the deserts of syria. >> you believe they have the capability to attack washington and new york? >> i wouldn't rule it out, charlie. but, look, i don't mean to split hairs on you, but we're a tougher target. we're a tougher target because

when we're distant, we're a tougher target because our demographics are different. we're a tougher target because we're actually pretty good at this and we're a tougher target because culturally we've assimilated far better than the french and other europeans have. but i don't know that we have to do anything dramatically different. >> well, people suggest we need to do hand wripging over spying by cia. >> i said to one of your colleagues yesterday suddenly that biggest stack of metadata isn't the scariest thing in the room. >> so you are agreeing with john brennan? >> absolutely, i agree with john, too, when he pointed out our capacities have been badly hurt by the unauthorized exposure of secrets over the past two.5 years. >> general michael hayden, we thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. ahead, we will take a look at how isis may be using tools in

silicon valley. the tech industry may be in the crosshairs of u.s. intelligence agencies. that's ahead on "cbs this morning". more than 30 million americans are facing a severe weather threat this morning t. powerful storm system stretches from the plains to the mid-west. fuel tornadoes in texas overnight. castle rock, colorado, is under a blizzard warning. david. good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. the u.s. the first time in six years the denver metro area has been under a blizzard warning. it is coming down at a pretty good slip. it's fresh, it's pretty. it's about four to five inches where we are right now. wind gusts at denver international were clocked at 60 miles per hour in castle rock south of denver. it is col, it is blustery. on the road right now, it is near whiteout conditions. >> oh my god. >> reporter: massive tornado, violent storms. and blinding snow are lashing

their plan, edward snowden's nsa leaks are being blamed for revealing government methods that could help terrorists avoid rejection. we have the challenges facing investigators. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the key to finding that out is getting the attackers computers or cell phones, it's unclear whether they have been recovered. a law enforcement source says investigators are confident that the paris attackers were using some form of encrypted communication. almost four days after paris came under siege, cia director john brennan says terrorists have found new ways to plan major attacks undetected. >> in the past several years, the unauthorized disclosure, there have been policy, legal and other actions that are taken that make our ability collectively, internationally, to find has to terrorists much more challenging. >> without naming name, brennan

appeared to blame edward snowden, a former nsa contractor, who exposed top secret details about the agency's phone and internet under surveillance program. >> as a result of his disclosure the communication companies are less cooperative with the u.s. intelligence and law enforcement. in fact, they are taking direct steps to challenge law enforcement and intelligence community under surveillance activities. >> reporter: but now, brennan and others suggest potential terrorists are using encrypted messaging apps to avoid protection. >> i think silicon valley has to take a look at their products because if you create a product that allows evil monsters to communicate in this way, that's a big problem. >> this shows the absolute need to have top under surveillance, stop criticizing the nsa. >> reporter: glen greenwald that first published the documents said before the leaks,

terrorists were able to keep their conversations to carry out the attack, including the suicide attacks in central london t. 2008 siege in mumbai and the april, 2013 bombings at the boston marathon. he says officials are trying to exploit the paris attacks to justify increased under surveillance. >> don't you think after the type of bloodshed that we saw in paris, law enforcement should have the tools that they need to stop attacks like that? >> law enforcement has had every single fool that they have asked for since september 11th. the problem is that those agencies collect so much information that they have no idea what they're actually in possession of. they have collected so much, they weren't able to connect the dots. >> reporter: the technology industry has been a road block on this issue for law enforcement, but the government keeps pressing the industry to share data when national

security is at risk, but so far, gayle, privacy concerns have won out. >> thank you, jeff. this morning opposition to the president's plan to resettle 10 now. in the u.s. is growing after the paris attacks. one apparently sfluk into france through greece. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the politics. >> reporter: good morning, all house members will be briefed on that threat today by the director of the fbi and the secretary of homeland security. and a serious partisan divide is emerging on capitol hill and in state houses across the country about those refugees who are set to come here. >> we want to keep mississippi out of that war here on the homefront. >> mississippi's phil bryant is one of at least 22 governors. mostly republicans, who say they'll do what they can to keep syrian refugees out of their states. denying them services usually offered to refugees.

>> if there is even the slightest risk that the people who are come income from syria are not the types of people that we would want them to be, then we can't take that chance. >> reporter: the move drew criticism from some democratic governors like vermillion's peter shumlin. >> and i think the governors who are taking those actions are standing, stomping on the qualities that make america great. it's dividing lawmakers on capitol hill, too. arizona senator john mccain an other republicans said the refugees should not be allowed in. at least for now. >> we have to have a pause until we are absolutely sure that anybody that comes to this country as a reasonable has to be properly screened. >> reporter: here's how the screening process works. first, the state department collects biographical information on the applicant. the department of homeland security the national counterterrorism center and the pentagon then review it. next comes and in person

interview with a homeland security official. plus a health screening and a cultural reorientation course. maryland senator ben carden says he doubts a terrorist would be able to slip through. >> no refugee comes to the united states without going through this vetting process. it can take 18 to 24 monthss. >> reporter: most of the republican presidential candidates say that refugees should not be let in. in fact, norah, new jersey governor chris christie said even orphans under the age of five should be kept out because they don't have family here. >> all right, nancy, thank you very much. and a ground breaking surgery gives a badly burned firefightary new outlook on life. >> so the fact that we were able to perform this and the patient was ain't i able to come out is a historic event. this is here to stay. it will not go away. we can do this safer. >> how incredible is that? what it took for surgeons to perform the most extensive face transplant in history. if you are heading out the door,

elizabeth palmer in paris. shortly after secretary kerry met with france's president-spoke with cbs evening news anchor scott pelley. he is near the embassy in paris. good morning. >> it's after 8:00. i'm not hearing anything, i'm not hearing the broadcast. >> scott, good morning. >> troops on the ground now to prevent an attack on the united states. >> well, as you know, the president made the decision some time ago to put american special forces on the ground in order to augment the ability of others to get the job done. it is working. unfortunately, as we know, there are fighters that have come from many countries in the world. ours included, who have gone to syria. so the challenge of fallen fighters returning to their homes is one we have been pocused on fpocu focused on for a year or so. it's a big challenge.

we seen the consequences in the last days. >> mr. secretary, you say it's working, but in two weeks time, isis brought dowç> well, the strategy is to contain isis within iraq and syria and diminish their hold and destroy their headquarters and then fundamentally. because that's where all of this has emanated from. slowly, but surely, that pinser is working. but, yes, they have foreign 2350i9ers who have left there and gone to itself places. that remains a challenge. we've known all along that challenge is there. the basic strategy of destroying dashes, center, its core, which is what we did with al qaeda, is workin working. >> scott joins us now from paris. scott, tell us more about the interview and your take away from secretary kerry and his

meeting with president hollande. >> reporter: well, charlie, norah, the secretary outlined for us today a dramatic and if it works a historic brand alliance. he said that he can imagine in the next few weeks the united states, russia, and france, cooperating militarily against isis or as he prefers to call it dash in syria. the idea of u.s. and russian forces fighting together, working towing, against this, this terrible enemy is a remarkable idea. but that is exactly what they're trying to do. you know, it seems to me that the americans can't say they're supporting the russians and the russians can't say they're supporting the americans, but both can say they're supporting france and that might be a diplomatic break through. >> incredible historic break through, indeed, scott.

what do you think that means then, though, for the future of assad given who has wanted him to stay in power? >> reporter: well, putin as you say wants assad to stay in power as the dictator of syria. the americans want him to go. it is my impression from talking to u.s. fibls that they now consider isis to be the larger of the two evils and they're willing to leave assad to the side for the moment while they attack isis. >> when will this cooperation begin, you think, scott? >> reporter: well, charlie, again, i mean, this is an ambition. this is a hope that the russians will come along. secretary kerry seemed to think that it would just be in the next few weeks, if it was, indeed, possible at all. president hollande of france is going to be meeting with president obama in washington next week and then he will be going directly to moscow to meet with president putin. >> scott pelley if france. thank you, scott.

>> this morning a texas father is pleading for the return of his six-year-old son who he says was ill laterallily abducted by his exwaive. today he is calling on the state department on a congressman to help his cause. michelle miller met with him last week. she is here, good morning. >> good morning. according to state department,

last year there were more than 1,400 open child abduction cases outside the u.s. 39 in brazil alone. one of those children is nico braun, his mother braut him to brazil in 2013. his father is now in the fight of his life to bring it son back home to the u.s. >> this is his room. >> it is. >> chris braun has kept his son's bedroom in houston exactly as it was the day he left. >> this is where we changed his diapers. >> the day his ex-wife took him to brazil for a family wedding. >> and i started asking my attorneys what was going on. i got a phone call that essentially they weren't returning. >> chris learned she enrolled their toddler in a brazilian school, found a new job and petitioned brazilian courts for full custody, which they granted. chris says he had no idea any of it was happening. >> it's heart wrenching. it's devastating.

to be in a situation where i was seeing my son every single day, participating in his life, an active member in his life a. loving parent, to be in a situation now where i have less than 1% physical custody of mychild. >> reporter: granted partial visitation by a judge, chris now travels from houston to salvador every eight weeks, picks up his six-year-old from school, spends the afternoon playing with him. then returns him do hess ex-wife's family. >> are you able to see the change in him? >> definitely. it's hard for him to communicate with me. it's hard for him to be able to express to me in english what it is thaj going on. what he feels. >> reporter: chris and his attorney are fighting to return him to the u.s. they say she altered several do you means to conceal a premeditated abduction. earlier this year, a texas court

found that she wrongly and maliciously concealed nico's whereabouts and a federal court in brazil affirmed that he had been taken unlawfully from texas. still the judge ruled nico should stay in brazil with his mother because he is well settled. we contacted the legal team in brazil for a response to those allegations. citing privacy laws protecting minors in cases like these, her lawyers say they cannot comment. only the local court can. >> i think the most important thing to emphasize is both the united states and brazil agree the child has been illegally taken from the united states to brazil. >> reporter: he filed a petition to have nico returned under the haig convention, the international agreement which states that custody should be decided in a child's home country. >> and under the treaty, a child who has legally taken must be returned to their country of residence unless there is a risk of harm to that child presented

by the left behind parent. >> what's it going to take to get nico back? >> look, i think this will take president obama reaching out to their president saying this needs to be resolved. >> reporter: president obama stepped into another international custody battle. the case of american david goldman. who fought for five years to bring his son home from brazil. goldmoon's victory gives chris braun hope. >> he needs to come home. it's been two years. this house is like a mausoleum to him. everything reminds me of him. but i will never give up. >> the state department told the state it is working with the braun family and already cited brazil repeatedly for failing to meet its obligation under the haig abduction convention. >> those stories are always

heart breaking t. kids love their parents the parents love their kidsch these guy versus to figure out a way how you love your child more than you dislike your spouse. >> they had joint custody in texas. the issue really is, both parents need to have joint custody. >> i think that's what the law says. >> hopefully, someone is playing attention. >> both in brazil and the united states. >> both places. >> hopefully, your story will start a conversation. thank you, michelle. what do willie mays, steven spielberg and barbara streisand have in common? we'll explain while this group of icons. they are icons, planning to vis dit white house for a very special event. that's next on "cbs this morning." i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder... .

the morning paris and the threat of terrorist attacks are on everyone's minds. a new documentary looks at the role fighting terrorism. how far will it go? how far should it go in this spymasters cia in the crosshairs all 12 living cia directors interviewed think about that intelligence agents say they warned the united states of a danger to the united states

before september 11th. >> koid for black. a legendary operive, escaped an assassination attempt by al qaeda while serving in khartoum. >> the first week i was in a counterterrorism center a new chief comes in. they stick you in a conference room. everybody comes in briefing you on areas offing a tifrt. i don't shock easy. but i was shocked. this was a wave of threats coming at the united states. >> in the spring of 2001, we submitted authorities to the incoming bush administration, it essentially advocating a paramilitary operation and the word back was we're not quite ready to consider this, we don't want the clock tomk! start tic. >> the crisis comes to a head on july 10th, 2001. richard blee, the head of the

bin ladin unit, barges into black's officer. >> he comes in, the roof is falling down. great, which guy? the information we now compiled was absolutely compelling. it was multiple sourced. it was sort of the last straw. we decided the next thing to do was to pick up the white phone, call the white house, we're coming down right now. i said, connie, i have to come see you. it was one of the rare times in my seven years as director where i said i have to come see you. we're coming right now. >> reporter: print at the july 10 white house meeting, national security adviser condoleeza rice and other top officials. >> so rich started by saying, there will be significant terrorist attacks against the united states in the coming weeks or months. the attacks will be spectacular. they may be multiple. al qaeda's intention is the destruction of the united states. i said, the country's going to go on a war footing now.

so i slammed my hand on the table. >> what happened? >> yeah, what did happen? yeah, what happened? >> essentially, nothing happened? >> yeah. that's right. >> condoleeza rice would later write, having raised the alert levels for u.s. personnel abroad, i thought we were doing what needed to be done. >> if on the 10th of september we were able to walk into the united states and say we think u.s. airliners will be hijacked tomorrow. just think about it. if we had been able to give him that very specific piece, as the president, he may very well held all the airliners from flying until when? >> if you don't put a system of defensive in place, if you don't button up your airports, button open your buildings, change your

visa policies, have some ideas of what's going on in the united states, you're going to get hurt. >> chris is a writer, an award winning former producer for "60 minutes" jules is the co-director, he and his brother are t behind the cbs documentary "9 already 11." quickly, before we talk about what you saw. how did this come about, this film? >> well, you know, as document aaro rya documentaryians. could we get all 12 living cia direct o, to talk with us about the rulesf engagement? you know, what's the mission of cia? how far should cia go to keep us safe? it began with the idea that we would get all 12, to our delight, one at a time, george

h.w. bush was the first. he insisted on being a part of the program. george tenet was the last holdout. he finally came around. >> and the answer to the question, with that kind of intelligence, why something didn't happen is? >> well, you know, everybody talks about that famous august presidential daily brief, you know bin ladin determined to strike on the u.s. the july 10 meeting, that pales in comparison to the importance of that july 10 meeting. there was a drum beat of threats from al qaeda. the problem was it wasn't specific and actionable. i think what is new about this even though george tenet has written about it in his book, kor black says said it wasn't clear, it could have been here. the attacks could have been here in the u.s. but as adrena bennett said, what do you do? do you shut down the airports?

george tenet says he does not feel for the record the white house ignored his warnings. what he says is it was probably, you know, you would have to button down the airport, button down the wild building, a change of visa policies, at this point two of the hijackers were already here a as we now know. >> there is a clear line coming from the cia in this documentary as well as books they have published. this was not a failure of intelligence september 11th. the details months and months of pdbs, the daily briefings the president gets. this july meeting that you so dramatically described with kofur black telling condoleeza rice they are coming for us. why wasn't something done? and why didn't the cia go back to the white house after something wasn't done and say, come on, let's do something? >> i think the cia felt they did come back again and again. at the end of the day, these are

the rocky -- it's a rogue agency is no longer was it is. i think they play by the rules of listening giving their marching orders by the president and when the presidents don't listen or at least do not have enough intelligence to be able to make that decision. but i think it goes back to what mike morel said that it was not a failure of intelligence. i think it's a national failure. ? right. >> we could never have implemthed before 9/11. people were not ready for it. >> you know, what was fascinating to my is they were all so candid, guys, all the directors you talked were were candid. there seems to be disagreement of what the mission is among the >> we call eight battle for the soul of the cia. there is an existential crisis going on at the cia. we were sudden u stunned to discover how passionate the cia directors were in their

disagreements with one another. for example, when david petraeus took over as cia director, michael hayden took him aside, one general do another and said, never before in the history of cia has it become such a paramilitary organization and that comes at a cost. it comes at the cost of intelligence gathering. if you become too fixated on that, bob yates pointed out how much different the world would be had we not gone into iraq. that was an analytical failure. you pay a price when you get seduced by this covert paramilitary. >> a secret army. >> the question was when petraeus became cia directedor he would accentuate that. but that's not the fact. he did not accentuate it. did he? >> as it turns out, interestingly, lethal drone strikes, which, of course, the cia to this day doesn't officially acknowledge but which the director talks to us about. lethal gun strikes increased

dramatically under president obama. >> clearly, it did. >> that was over a period of about a year. >> the petraeus operation is considered to be men oak, men and women on the ground trying to achieve a military objective. >> yeah, it goes back to i think a point of where it's coming out much more now is what happened in paris. is the former directors are complaining that we are killing people too much, but we're not capturing them. capturing people is messy. we seen it. whether you want to have it at the same time. >> thank you so much. thank you, in the crosshairs "spymasters" on show time, a division of cbs. we'll be right back. >> so

. >> that does it for us. be sure to tune into the
