narrator: but now, even as the drone strikes have continued, al qaeda has joined the fight against the houthis-- on the same side as the united states. >> al-ahmad: this is why it's so difficult to explain the war on yemen, because there are so many enemies that find themselves on the same front lines fighting the other enemy. a lot of people who wanted to fight the houthis that didn't necessarily agree with al qaeda did join them because that was a ready front for them to go out and fight. and that grew with the ranks of al qaeda, and so the situation only got worse from 2012 till now. >> al-ahmad: and frankly, the fragile alliances that have been built, the only common denominator between them has been fighting the houthis. i think a lot of people worry about what will happfter there is no more houthi to fight, as in how those different factions are going to deal with each other after the war is over. >> narrator: after weeks of trying, safa finally reaches the outskirts of taiz. the only way into the city itself is a treacherous mountain path used by smugglers. convoys of donkeys and camels are the city's only lifeline, carrying

it is a signal that in fact the united states is going to act when it sees itself and nato allies under threat from the taliban. and not just the threats from alaeda and isis. the united states is under a number of threats, including kabul, where there was a massive bombing in april they killed 55 people or so. and it is a message to pakistan that the united states will continue to act against taliban leadership in pakistan if they continue to threaten u.s. and nato forces and if they don't show any interest in coming to the peace table. the action is part of that analysis. charlie: does this say that the united states is prepared to do whatever it has to do and pakistan is the longer a safe haven for the taliban? tom: i am not so sure that if we had been able to target the senior afghan leadership before, that we would not have taken action against them. it is important to underscore continues toup target the united states and our nato allies, they will be subject to attacked by the united states. the president has made that clear from the time he ran for office. with respect to al qaeda, where he ran in 2008 and said if we knew where osama b

. >> as you know, isis is now considered the major terror threat against the united states. but alaeda are still in business. al zawari. they might take a massive explosive operation. do they have the capability to do another 9/11 kind of attack? >> wolf, i think that's highly improbable. some of the affiliates of al qaeda and yemen and syria and north africa, certainly, they had some capacity. but 9/11 style attack on the united states by any group i think is almost out of the question. even a paris style attack. we talked to 130 people killed and talked to a number of people including the president and his senior national security advisors. certainly concerned about the possibility but the situation in europe is different with the number of european recruits that have gone and compared to the american recruits that have gone to isis for training. >> peter bergen, thank you very much. thanks for the excellent work you're doing as well. >> thank you. >> you can watch peter's interview with president obama. it's exclusive. and other key figures behind the raid that killed bin laden.

is a signal that in fact the united states is not going to, is going to act when it sees itself and its nato allies under threat from the taliban. and not jups a threat from al-qaeda and isis. and indeed the united states is under threat by the actions of the taliban in a number of instances including in kabul where just in april there was a massive bomb thrag killed 65 or so people. and i think it's a message to pakistan that, in fact, the united states will continue to act against-- will continue to act against taliban leadership in pakistan if they continue one, to threaten the u.s. and nato forces. and two, they don't show any interest in coming to the peace table. so the mansour action, i think, is part of that, is part of that analysis. >> does this say that the united states is prepared to do whatever it has to do and pakistan is no longer a safe haven for the taliban? >> well, you know, i'm not so sure that if we had been able to target the senior afghan leadership before that we wouldn't have taken action, action against them. i think it is important to underscore that if a group continues to target the united states and our nato allies, that they a

united states of america. this is a global scourge, they have sanctuaries around the world. their interests are contrary to ours. our interests are at risk in united states the and elsewhere. it was alda a year, year and a half after this -- we took down bin laden, was responsible for the death of the ambassador and his security team. so, the next president has to be on honest with the world. the president refuses to take about a global scourge. denying its existence doesn't mean it goes away. the president refuses to say this is islamic fundamentalism and denying the idealism they embrace. hopefully the next president will accept the notion it's a global scourge and lead an international coalition to start dealing with it in a more tactical way. right now i think the president is running out the clock, get out of town and lead this challenge to the next president of the united states. >> who's the best person for that job? whose approach to terrorism will be the best? >> i thought the best person to deal with this a long time ago was jeb bush. but we have to see how it plays out. one thing i think we need to say to both sides of the aisle, there's not a bumper sticker to deal with

today, the biggest terrorist threat to the united states is not like al qaeda. is wealthy, agile, sophisticated online, and operates freely in a vast territory of its own. it prefers to be called the islamic state. the u.s. government calls it isil. reporters tend to call it isis for the islamic state in iraq and syria. but whatever the name, it has the manpower, means and ruthlessness to attack the u.s. the man who is supposed to stop that attack is john brennan, the director of the c.i.a. and tonight, in a rare interview first broadcast in february, we hear from brennan about a world of trouble and we start with the most pressing danger. is isis coming here? >> john brennan: i think isil does want to eventually find it's, it's mark here. >> pelley: you're expecting an attack in the united states? >> brennan: i'm expecting them to try to put in place-- the operatives, the material or whatever else that they need to do or to incite people to carry out these attacks-- clearly. so i believe that their attempts are inevitable. i don't think their successes necessar

united states. we have significantly reduced from al qaeda and we are successfully pressuring isis in syria and iraq to the overall threat has metastasized. frankly, i think it has entered a new dangerous phase. isis is expanding into other regions. the attacks on paris and brussels have highlighted how unprepared europe is to address this threat appeared despite the transnational nature of this thread, european responses remain cloistered behind borders in my own judgment is that the failure of europe to successfully deal with a terrorist threat in terms of information sharing and securing borders, is a clear and present danger to the united states. every year, americans rely more on the internet. these advances represent a tremendous moon for our economy that exposes to cyberattacks. president obama has asked to -- asked me to chair a national commission on enhancing cyber security a will be putting our report out into separate and it is really a transition report for the next president with a perspective looking at the next 5-10 years. next is asia. my judgment is that the next president -- our a
