that shifted the calculous of al qaeda tremendously.nd the fourth and last thing about this, is to focus on the ideology. to focus on the narrative. to not play into the fear that if we talk narrative and we talk about al qaeda and isis, and we talk about them hijacking religious terminology that we're attacking islam. we're not attacking islam. i'm a muslim, and these groups don't represent anything about the beautiful religion i believe in. >> so with all of this, what is ur prediction then? where do they strike next? is the west still in mortal danger? >> absolutely. now they are building the network. look, after the soviet jihad, they didn't attack immediately. it took them years to develop the network. now, frankly, if you talk to al qaeda or isis, what do they want to do next? they don't know what they're going to do next. now isis is trying to find new places to go to after their defeat in syria and after the loss of the territorial lands of the so-called caliphate. >> it's extraordinary. at the same time, we're reminded of the h

al qaeda doesn't do that. al qaeda wants somebody who is qualified to do things. they do have a resurgence, yes, but i don't put them in the 50,000 number the u.n. came out with. they are assessing talent. if you look at the osama bin laden exploitation documents, osama bin laden said go to syria , find the talent and bring the talent into the organization. they want charismatic leaders that can actually move people and do things. that is what they are looking for. they are better at venting individuals that isis was -- that isis was. ahmad: if we talk about isis presence in iraq, it does not have a significant presence. based on my own talks with iraqi officials, they don't see that as a major threat. but the al qaeda organization has decentralized over five years. they are not a smaller organization, they are not are forces but there in iraq that have an association with isis, and the iraqi government isn't much concerned about whether it is al qaeda or isis. it is bad andd that the conditions can help them to a resurgence. it is just to extremists that take dif

ally-- is apparently cutting with al qaeda, does it mean that al qaeda is actunuly cong or surviving inside ofemen? >> reporter: it does. a fny time al qaedghters are given an opportunity to leave one area safely had and live t fight another day, especially if they're allowed to leave with weapons and any kind of money or loot that they've gathered, it helps them thrive. if you're looking at strategic interests, it also serves the strategic centers of the saudi an athe u.a.e., w on the ground there. certainly the emirates on the grotd there, they do have to use their own fighters to fight al qaeda, and, instead, they potentially get recruitment of many battle-hardened andel extrstrong fighter fighters from l qaeda, basically joining up with therious militias that they can then fight against the houthis and for the coalition, the real enemy here are the houthi, the iran-bkedhi'a militias in the north. for the united states, it's ult to see a strategi benefit here. it's difficult to see why al qaeda in the arabian peninsulbeing allowed to survive in those areas. this is the franchise o

this was of note to them because the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, the yemeni branch of al qaeda, had not been present in places likez, taso people were really quite alarmed that they were showing up. an d they wenever sure if we went there whether or not there could be a checkpoint all of a sudden that had been set up by al qaeda itself. as a result, it makes that kind of reporting very difficult. difficult. >> schifrin: it seems to lead u.s.question about the strategic aims heir. the question, i guess, would be, are these deals that saudi arabia-- again, a u.s. ally-- is apparently cutting with al qda, does it mean that al qaeda is actually continuing or surviving inside of yemen?er >> repoit does. any timal qaeda fighters ae given an opportunity to leave one area safely had and live tot fight r day, especially if they're allowed to leave with weapons and any kind of moneyor loot that they've gathered, it helps them thrive. if you're looking at strategic interests, it also serves githe stracenters of the saudi and the u.a.e., who are on the ground there. certainly the emirates

we do not pay al qaeda, we kill al qaeda." maggie michael?this is the line of the united states along with the emiratis. yesterday the emirati officials held a press conference denying that any agreement or deals with al qaeda. but on the ground, we have so many witnesses and people who were involved in this meeting, including the travel mediator who was involved with a meeting between the emiratis and al qaeda with a group -- were they agreed for money to withdraw. the denials do not -- do not give more information, just general denial. amy: maggie, can you respond to the killing that we were just talking about, the u.s.-backed saudi bombing of this school bus come a 40 0 school children killed, now there are thousands of people going to funerals in yemen, 51 people overall killed. how does this fit into the picture that you have found and your investigation? >> what is very hard to determine in yemen is what the children were doing. -- and 2015. we know the saudi debt coalition has bombed civilian targets all the time. markets, hospitals, s

as the head of al qaeda said last year that they are fighting alongside the saudi and in the. u.a.e. backed forces which is not strange because that's exactly what happened in libya there was use overthrow as up and look at look at libya today just the fighting right now that's been taking place over the last few days or what or what we saw in syria and of course in syria the western media likes to say that president assad has killed hundreds of thousands of its own people in reality it was obama and his allies that are responsible for these deaths and in yemen if you notice they always say it's for three and a half years now they've been saying ten thousand people have died and when reality hundreds of thousands of people have died but they try to downplay the casualties in yemen to try to hide them even though hundreds of thousands of people have died from cholera from starvation and other sicknesses preventable sickness is and whereas in iran and syria they were trying to inflate it despite the fact that they

this occurred three years before al qaeda bombed our homeland. we are, in fact, a more dangerous place than we were. our colleagues today face issues we did not have to. please, take today and this moment to pledge to alter the trend of providing inadequate resources to the people who work in peace. not only for the sake of those of us here today but for the sake of our neighbors and communities in which we live overseas. i will never forget what real resilience means. you know who taught me real resilience? kenyon rose. she survived under rubble before she finally succumbed 50 minutes -- minutes before she was 15 rescued. the resilience of kenyan rose and the contributions of kenyans rose -- whose lives were cut short because they were in our vicinity is a reason why we need to continue to work in peace and in safety with shared values of those in the host country in which we take part in their communities. i thank you for coming. i thank you for your empathy, mr. sullivan and i will yield to my dear friend and colleague, john lang. [applause] >

the rise of al qaeda led to 9/11.o you think it's the most important thing and how did you come to write it? why did you get onto that track? >> well, it was more of a mission than, you know, anything else. as a young man, i taught in cairo. i spoke some arabic, although it had been a long time. i lived in a muslim country and i loved my time in egypt. i had written a movie called "the siege" with denzel washington and bruce willis which is about what would happen if terror came to america. for instance, to new york city. this came out in 1998. and it was in many ways like the events of 9/11. there were a number of different things that were affecting me. mainly just as an american, i knew this was a turning point in our history. and as a reporter i had an obligation to try to go out and understand what was it that led to this and why did we fail to stop it. >> and right now, anybody who didn't read your book is getting to watch the looming tower on television, the screen. it's on amazon prime. it is really fantastic.

backed forces which is not strange because that's exactly what happened in in libya al qaeda was used overthrow as of the end look at look at libya today just the fighting right now that's been taking place over the last few days or what or what we saw in syria and of course in syria the western media likes to say that president assad has killed hundreds of thousands of its own people in reality it was obama and his allies that are responsible for these deaths and in yemen if you notice they always say it's for three and a half years now they've been saying ten thousand people have died and when reality hundreds of thousands of people have died but they tried to downplay the casualties in yemen to try to hide them even though hundreds of thousands of people have died from cholera from starvation and other sicknesses preventable sickness is and whereas in iran and syria they were trying to inflate it despite the fact that they were in reality the side that was responsible more than anyone else let me go to charles in london we ought to point out also that a lot of a number of internati

i looked at how the pentagon has reacted to all this they say that they are slowly targeting al qaeda on the on the arabian. does that cut me does that does that make any sense to you i mean they say but it seems to me that if they're giving logistical support than i guess all these al qaeda people are in wedding procession is all the time ok i mean it doesn't make any sense to me at all go ahead charles. you know america and britain often they're playing a double game they will say one thing in public and in private they're doing something else for example i would say that they urge restraint on israel restraint on saudi arabia and then behind the scenes it's clear they're saying that's all you're going to hear from us here is the next check for the next weapons load that you're going to use to carry out these humanitarian atrocities in the night in yemen it's absolutely clear that the one of the main reasons why al qaeda in iraq is still a problem for the west is because it instability in that country in the same way that isis came out of the instability created by the west or at le

and al qaeda's first major offensive against the us. at the state department officials who were at the embassy that day and the deputy and assistant secretary of state for africa, to mark the anniversary. [inaudible conversations] >> good morning, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests. we are delighted with the turnout. thank you very much. good morning. my name is t-bone irish, secretary of state for african affairs and i'm honored and humbled to be with all of you as we remember those who lost in the 1998 bombings of the embassies in my robie, it is my privilege to introduce deputy secretary of state john j sullivan. john j sullivan was confirmed by the united states senate sworn in as deputy secretary of state on may 24, 2017, and later served as acting secretary of state from april 1, 2018, until mike pompeo joined the department. deputy secretary sullivan brings a wealth of experience to the state department family. he spent decades in the private sector, most recently as partner, mayer brown llp and cochair of the national se

posts around the world. 20 years ago al-qaeda tried and failed to undermine the values we were sworn to uphold. while we may be facing new threats in different parts of the world, the imperative to remain vigilant endures. and to this end we remain committed to ending the scourge of global terrorism by whatever means it now organizes and it calls itself. and in so doing must honor the memory of those we continue to mourn today by pressing the cause of freedom and justice to which they dedicated their lives. the sacrifices of the victims and their families will not be in vain. we must continue to stand strong in our values. those would inflict violence on others in service to their countries will not be allowed to prevail here those who preach intolerance and hatred will not break us. even as we remember our fallen colleagues we continue our efforts to defeat al-qaeda, isis and other global terrorist organizations and to prevent further attacks on the united states and our citizens. our resolve is as strong today as ever, and we owe it to those whose lives have been taken by terrorist

in yemen as the head of al qaeda said last year that they are fighting alongside the saudi and in the. u.a.e. backed forces which is not strange because that's exactly what happened in in libya there was use overthrow as up and look at look at libya today just the fighting right now that's been taking place over the last few days or what or what we saw in syria and of course in syria the western media likes to say that president assad has killed hundreds of thousands of its own people in reality it was obama and his allies that are responsible for these deaths and in yemen if you notice they always say it's for three and a half years now they've been saying ten thousand people have died and when reality hundreds of thousands of people have died but they tried to downplay the casualties in yemen to try to hide them even though hundreds of thousands of people have died from cholera from starvation and other sicknesses preventable sickness is and whereas in iran and syria they were trying to inflate it despite the fact that they were in reality the side that was responsible more than any

the united nations warning al qaeda is making a come back in the middle east.an: the son of usama bin laden is leading operations. rob: aaron cohen, thanks for coming back. we are seeing all this attention on isis. everybody talking about isis and al qaeda has benefited from not being focused on. >> absolutely. the last 5 or 6 years, isis who has been a master of manipulating the media. al qaeda got smashed to pieces by army assets over the last 15 years, delta force, u.s. army rangers, green berets, literally just crushing these guys along with the taliban come into submission but we started focusing on isis, al qaeda quietly does what terror groups do. the difference this time is we are seeing the reemergence of a new leader which is usually the first red flag and that means by attaching his son's name to the terror organization is the leader, he ended up marrying the daughter of mohammed ata who crashed into one of the towers on 911. this is a monster psychological recruiting campaign. that is whatever organizations do. they putting it at the top of their pr

is al qaeda about to make a major comeback? a disturbing new report from the u.n.inds the terror group showing the surprising levels of resilience. they are stronger than isis in places like somalia, yemen, and. south asia. for more, we are joined by counter terror veteran aaronon cohen. i read this report, and i just read a report about what was happening in iraq and in afghanistan, specifically in afghanistan, where our forces and afghan forces are losing some ground against the taliban, and now this. what do you know and what do we need to know as americans? >> well, first of all,me osama bin laden's son, hamsa bin laden who is 29 years old and sees himself as sort of the next young gun on the street has publicly come out and taken over for his dead father and wants to rekindle the al qaeda brand. as we know with terrorism over the years in israel, this is a very large psychological war, run by fear, and what we are seeing here is rekindling of al qaeda 2.0, starting to resurface on a tactical level. i think that al qaeda has had a significant amount of time sin

given al qaeda, laura, pretty significant amount of time to regroup.hat i have understand, like with any other terror group thae have taken down in israel or have smashed in israel, what happens is, you have pieces of these organizations which smashes into hundreds, if not thousands of small pieces, and they are able to operate and they are going dark and that means that they are now operating in what i have called nomad terror, essentially, they can function independently from central leadership, any type of real organization, and they can go online and they can train and recruit on the dark web, carry out attacks, not unlike we saw in london just the other day. >> laura: right. bingo. when you hear a story like you just heard in the united states with his new mexico compound, this bizarre scenario, the subjugation of children, and the seeming jihadist training of the children, going into schools, what does that tell you? >> well, the threat is real. what you have here is you have incubation happening here within this country, in this case, which is b

well i think the way you know it is if you monitor what these groups like isis or the remnants of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula this is something they bring up now is not the only thing but the fact of the matter is that we had this struggle against you know terrorists we will only win when we could vince people that what they are saying and why they want to go against sausan our allies is the wrong thing to do and one of the things the chemical larry's point is that when focusing on terrorism and the detainees who have not who have either for. serve the full term were charged convicted and are scheduled for release. this struggle is in the bureaucracy of government in trying to find detention facilities or even rehabilitation facilities are able to take on those really scheduled to be released detainees and you know we talk a lot about in washington about this concept of the deep state you know the overarching government this bureaucracy and there are many forces within the government that simply don't want to have these individuals released so i want to play a little clip from a film
