ayman mohyeldin who has covered the middle east for years, was looking at some of the reporting coming out of istanbul, out of turkey, in that they had intelligence from the west, and also from the region that said look out, reina could be a target, they adjusted, according to the reporting, therefore the security profile there. but the panoply of threats that might be out there, how as an intelligence expert then triage where you should put your resources, because you can't cover them all? >> you're absolutely right. you can't cover them all. i've been in that circumstance, where we had very, very highly detail intelligence of a terrorist attack, but it was going to occur at a nightclub, and we just did not know specifically what nightclub. and so, and for those people who might remember history, you know, this was in berlin, in the 1980s. the military police in berlin hit every nightclub where american soldiers were congregated. that's because we knew it would be against american soldiers. just minutes before they could get to one nightclub, the terrorist attack was carried out. seve

on the executive order and how the international community is responding, we're now joined by ayman mohyeldin. this executive order challenges, presented to u.s. allies, it's inconsistencies that can be out there from one country versus another. and how is that being talked about ayman? >> yeah, right now, reaction of official coming from arab country it's in fact the broader muslim world has been slow to trick until. we knew that some talk about a potential muslim ban was outright condemned by a lot of leaders across the arab world. this is not that full-on ban that was referenced. certainly, some are going to interpret this as an effective ban. you talk about the issue of allies. how is this going to be perceived by some and inconsistencies. obviously, as we've been discussing throughout the course of the day, anyone looking at terror attacks that happened from the united states. from the most severe and spectacular, that of 9/11 and more recently, the pulse nightclub shooting in orlando, none of the countries on this list have emanated terrorists into the united states. from that perspecti
