they can say al qaeda is -- no longer part of al qaeda. it's a legitimate part of the anti-assad coalition and we support that. you can see them saying that. it's much harder to see them not cooperating and counter isil fight. i don't think we'll have a problem with foreign donations on a large scale. >> just want to agree on that. even al qaeda and syria resists foreign support. they would say, look, i'm not going to look, you can put it in my pocket, but i'm not going to take funding from outside. they worry a lot about infiltration, about people within or other groups that would be influenced by the donors. i agree. isis is more extreme on that. they do a lot of vetting for people, even within their organization that have deep pockets. >> speaking from the turkish perspective, one of the successes of the coalition that doesn't get mentioned a lot because we follow the military day-to-day is the counter financing task force. some things you see in turkey in addition to the border being cut off, before that, subsequent efforts to block th

so to have all al qaeda-linked groups take raqqa from isis is to enable al-qaeda. to me, the reason why the dilemma is becoming so complicated and so sharp inside syria is because a lot of our options to deal with isis in the context of so many sectarian and ethnic fault lines and scenes that have played out so violently over the course of these last years in syria, it's the fact that our anti-isis policy does not address al-qaeda. .. >> even though much of our focus on the fund-raising is about oil, current estimates coming midyear, our most credible source at this point, are that they are getting high level of revenue from taxation and extortion. that takes place with population centers. so they have all manner of fines. you would be fine for not having the right -- for wearing your pants below your ankle. you would be charged for parking space. all diversified ways to raise money. if you have a city like raqqa, 150-300,000 people, we don't have a current census, all of a sudden those are people who can pay fines and fees and help the group raise money. so you wa

calling that american yemeni cleric who was part of al qaeda in yemen our hero imam. so clearly anwar al awlaki had an inspirational role in this attack. but in this same statement talking about how the united states should make peace with isis to stop these kind of lone wolf attacks so there you see the isis influence in this. but the attacker did not go out of his way to brand this for one or the other or any organization he seems to have been an independent lone wolf. he seems to have been anger by certain events he was seeing play out around the world, notably in myanmar. he said he reached boiling point because of the killings and ethnic cleansing of muslims in the northern part of myanmar and that was something the united nations drew attention to in a big way just last week. >> it was interesting, too, when this -- if this individual was inspired both by isis and al awlaki who was an al qaeda leader, it reminds me of what happened in orlando at that nightclub and that suspect there who, you know, pledged his allegiance to multiple terror organizations and i'm ju

investigators believe the ohio state terrorist was inspired by isis and by the american-borne al qaedai. this comes as isis today claims the stabbing attack was carried out on its behalf. pamela brown joins me from columbus, ohio. pamela, are there any firm links tying the suspect at this point to a specific terrorist organization? >> reporter: at this point in the early stage of the investigation, no firm links, we're told, jake. but investigators do believe the suspect was inspired and influenced by terrorist propaganda online from both isis and al qaeda, and today isis is taking credit for the attack. today isis is claiming responsibility for inspiring the attack on the campus of the ohio state university, releasing a statement on its propaganda news website. there is no evidence the claim is true. investigators will only say they're looking at terrorism as a possible motive. >> there is plenty of available evidence to indicate that this individual may have been motivated by extremism and may have been motivated by a desire to carry out an act of terrorism. >> reporter: a post on ab

there are aspects of what they say that make sense like we need to take the fight to al qaeda. but we have to work with moderate muslims and people like bannon and flynn laugh at that sense. there is no such thing. yes, there is. there are a lot of muslims. the overwhelming majority of them want nothing to do with terrorists. this terrorism has killed more muslims than any other religion. work withmany we can but if our rhetoric is all muslims are bad, we must take them on, then those partnerships fall apart and we become more divisive. i don't know what their shift is from their campaign rhetoric to actually governing and i think the scary thing is neither do they. predict what you that might mean for that war? i'm a little worried -- i was at the council of foreign relations yesterday and time, the republican foreign-policy for the last eight years has been very simple. whatever president obama does, it's wrong. that's not a foreign-policy. it is not a national security strategy. when you look at what is going on in syria and iraq, it's a very difficult situation. i think pre

think about the boston marathon bombing and that was an al qaeda-inspired attack.se brothers were not willing to die for the cause at the time they planted the pressure cooker bombs. what you see with the isis attacks is that they are willing to die and it makes it that much harder to disrupt and intercept because they're willing to go to extremes to make their point. >> what i'm struck by every time i see one of your reports is that for the rest of us, worry about these things tends to recede pretty quickly but in the law enforcement world they never stop worrying about it. >> one of the things that the nation's top spy testified to last week is that as he leaves the office with the next administration, the threat level has never been higher in part because it's so diversified and the ability to disrupt these lone actor plots is getting harder and harder. actually what we're seeing now is that for the majority of plots that are disrupted inside the united states is through the internet, so the fbi identifying people who are saying suspicious things on the web, it'

definitely a terror attack, that he was at a minimum inspired by terror organizations overseas, whether al qaeda, al shabab or some other terror group, but is there any evidence you've seen it was more than that, that he was actually directed to do this? >> we haven't seen any evidence that he was directed or in contact with a foreign terrorist organization. so yes, i think this is absolutely a terrorist attack. i think it was the product of online radicalization. it's still obviously very early in the investigation and we are now exploiting his electronics. we may learn a lot more. it's always possible we'll find something to alter that conclusion. we may learn more about his motivations in the days and weeks to come. >> let's talk about the president-elect's transition. he's already appointed one general, lieutenant general mike flynn, retired. he's considering at least three more generals for his cabinet, retired general david petraeus, james mattis, john kelly. if the president-elect goes ahead and names these people to senior cabinet positions, are you at all concerned this could compromise

is there a credible threat to the homeland from al qaeda or a terrorist group? >> there is a threat. we often see around pivotal events like an election, like july 4th, an increase to the threat of the country. here you have al qaeda that is still trying to prove that it's lethal, still trying to compete with isis. isis losing its caliphate trying to lash out. so there are heightened worries around this election. put those in context and we have those concerns every election but i think there's more concern this time than i have seen in the past. >> what should people out there be on the lookout for? >> i'm not sure there's specific enough information to help people be on guard. obviously people are well to be cautious, to let law enforcement know if they see something out of place around an election site, but there may be other areas that would be equally traumatizing that would also be of concern. but unfortunately not a lot of specifics that can help warn the public. >> there's also some threat of a cyber attack, specifically from russia. nearly every state h
