africans suspected of having links to al-qaida. officials say they had no immediate plans for an attack, but both men had, quote, similar profiles to the suspects who carried out the attack in boston, meaning they were radicalized online by going to chat rooms and forums. the arrests come just days before the madrid marathon this weekend. jenna: so many terror related stories we are following today along with our top story out of boston. just yesterday senator lindsey graham warned islam is extremists are still a serious threat to our nation. >> our nation is at war, the enemy is radical islam, defined as the taliban, al-qaida, and affiliated groups. the question i have regarding this case, is there any association between these two individuals and the groups i just named to allow enemy combatant status to be conferred upon the suspect in boston. jenna: we now know according to the white house that is not going to happen. senator lindsey graham republican of south carolina is a member of the judiciary committee and stepped out of a

now reports from one such area that was also a film a bastion of al qaida. this is rather a dangerous area for me that's why i'm dressed like this i'm trying to not attract as much attention foreign journalists have been banned from covering these protests from entering the anbar province altogether and al qaeda elements are still here in fact among the crowd you'll see from black flags later on when we go into to the crowd which had been associated with groups the protesters have been demanding more equality they feel like they've been discriminated by the shiite led government of nouri al maliki they want a change in power in politics they want more rights they want more quality they also want a different political system now they are province forces in the heart of the insurgency and the war now it's the heart of the anti-government protests perhaps a fault line of sorts that threatens to divide iraq let's go and talk to some of the people. who don't believe in this election we don't believe in it because it's sectarian sectarian sectarian. who we go to a

home grown terrorists or al-qaida or some similar organizationization? >> well, we certainly have heard from al k-qaida lately that the intend on a spree of earth-shaking, terrifying attacks this summer. i don't know that this would qualify such an attack, though it's certainly got our attention at the moment. they are clearly capable of such a thing. we had the iranian guard corps try to blow up a popular restaurant in d.c. we had an individual clearly patterning his behavior after that of al-qaida, though seemingly bit more of a freelancer who tried to blow up times square. >> there's no end in short of enemies who have got us in their cross hairs. if we wake up once again and there's, you know, off our complacency of many years now and recognize that we're living in a dangerous world and there are people who wish to do us harm, we'll have gotten away lightly if that's the silver lining such as it is in this dark cloud. >> that's for sure. frank, thanks for joining us, appreciate it. next up, tony roman who is a security expert with row mand and associ

al-qaida is on the run. what could go wrong.s is a big mistake and the american people should be demanding a the hro more information before we reach conclusions. jon: pwhaus it's more convenient or it's best threatening somehow if it's just a couple of nutty chechen brothers who decided to brother up the boston marathon with no outside help. >> right, if al-qaida in fact were on the road to defeat of course they wouldn't have assaulted our consulate in benghazi last september the 11th either . that's why jumping to conclusions so soon after apprehending the younger brother is utterly unjustified. jon: none of these people who are saying this was just their work, they didn't have outside help. none of those people is apparently willing to be identified. it's all sources speaking on condition of and a anytime a tee. >> i think it would be much more honest to say it's early in the investigation, there are a lot of unanswered questions. jon: ambassador john bolton it's good as always to have you in. thank you very much. jenna: seri

well a little missed a step back it surely is a hallmarks of al qaida but al qaeda doesn't have a monopoly on the use of these kinds of weapons indeed the instructions for these weapons are ubiquitous throughout the internet that being said the are a type of weapon that has been used in the middle east and the indian subcontinent and parts of asia much more than here in the united states very uncommon in the united states pipe bombs and other types of devices much more common and about a month ago. the southeast jihadist handbook on how to make such bombs along with other weapons was put out along with a magazine called inspire which is put out by a.q. a.p. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula we're just hearing here in the united states that there may be some connection to extremists in the caucasus between the older brother. and this group located in the region over in chechnya now as this investigation plays out we know we're going to be getting more information but since september eleventh in the wake of these attacks the u.s. launched its so-called war on terror given these events and th

. >> it is a big opening for al-qaida to get a foot hold.ot at this point that it is in the national security interest of the united states to intervene militarily. >> and had we done so earlier we might have prevented al-qaida forces from being in there. there are over 5000 now we believe. it is not too late to come on the side of the rebels who are not al-qaida and to arm them and work with them. >> you think the u.s. could turn around public opinion? >> i think if we did it in the right way. if we don't do it pretty soon it will be difficult. >> there is something else brewing, the united nations raised a red flag saying it is running out of money to take care of the syrian refugeeses. there are hundreds of thousands and million more in seria and in need of help. are we on the edge of a humanitarian catastrophe unless the war is hastened to the end. >> we probably don't appreciate the pressure of jordan, who is trying to be helpful but itself suffering and turkey is pressured by the refugees as well . within the country of syria itself, t

a bomb if you have some basic stuff for a round about twenty dollars it's the kind of thing that al qaida gets his english speaking followers to do the radical side of it and they link their own or. oh i see it it's way too early to to really comment on this and i think that whole notion is right now it sounds really really because the united states government one minute day there is to be and they talk about how sophisticated out tiger has become in fact they are as sophisticated as the n.s.a. you're talking about their ability to octane laptop or. suitcase bombs nuclear bombs and the next minute they're talking about the homemade really amateurish. bomb making ability so i swear as the government is concerned i think it's too early to do to really buy used either from the us media or the government this is this situation is very similar to the you know even all some of the live and shooting every day the story changed you know and this is what we are going to see in the next few days they are going to change the story and they go through so much confusion and so many inconsistency is an

al-qaida recruits people and loose uses people in our own country that are beneath the radar screen. it lessening. we can't rely on the fbi and cia to get national and international intelligence. since it's operating at the local level it's important that the police, like in new york where there are hundreds of police officers going into the community, monitoring and following and not be afraid of political correctness. that's where the threat is coming from. when they went out to the mafia they went to the italian neighbors. if you're going for the ku klux klan you don't look in harlem. if you're looking for islamist jihaddists you have to go into the muslim community, make whatever contacts you have, if it turns out certain mosques are being radical find out what is going on in the mosques. martha: thank you. we'll see you soon. bill: a tiny in texas known as west was rocked by a huge explosion. what residents are being told about possibly returning to home based on wh is left there and what is being done to figure out how this happened. bill: more residents in the town of west, te
