was used nearly 2 million times, it was used in english acknowledge , arabic and in german ich bin charlie. that only fuels that sort of thing. >> what is the dominating message online? >> i think the overwhelming number of people are saying, we will not be silenced. the overwhelming cents imwhen this first happened, cartoonists released drawings in response to the attack. lets me show youlet me somehow you some of them. tommy unger. and drawing first who shooting a cartoonist who was drawing with a pen not a weapon. and taking us back to 9/11, in its two pencils are the twin towers and a plane is flying into them. and, "love is hate." it is a time to defend free speech and freedom of the press. >> no freedom without freedom ever the press. thank you hermella. thank you for joining us for this special edition of "consider this." the conversation continues on our website, aljazeera.com/considerthis and you can tweet me @amoratv. we'll see you next time. >> "consider this". the news of the day, plus so much more. >> we begin with the growing controversy. >> answers to the questions no one el

we're not going to see them at odds with each other. >> charlie: it is said that bin laden never believed that it was time to establish the caliphate, to establish an islamic state and thought it was a wrong strategy. >> right. >> charlie: but here comes i.s.i.s. >> right. and that still is a conflict. so i.s.i.s. focused on establishing a caliphate aqap in yemen al quaida in pakistan, they are still focused on carrying out attacks against the west. in fact, we've talked over the last several months about this group in syria of veteran al quaida visit the khorasan group -- >> charlie: had plans to attack us. >> -- planning to carry out attacks on the west, they still focus. so there's a strategic difference between the two groups. but at the tactical level we see in paris is there there's a sufficient commonality they'll work together. >> charlie: who leads terrorism against the united states? obviously, it's the pentagon. is it special forces? is there one place where one person says i'm responsible for the battle against terrorism? >> i think, and this is my experience, i think it start

bin laden was killed. what happened. >> charlie, in the fight against al qaeda we've had since 9/11, al qaeda as had a great victory, and we've had a great victvictory. our great victory has been the decimation, death radade, near-defeat of the al qaeda leadership in pakistan, the people that brought us 9/11. their great victory has been the spread of their ideology across a very wide geographic area-- europe africa, middle east, south asia. on september 10, 2001. al qaeda was on one place in the planet-- afghanistan. today they're in 30 to 40 countries. >> which one should we fear the most? >> i think there are two groups to fear. one is al qaeda in yemen which maintains the most sophisticated capability to attack us here in the homeland. the ability to bring an airliner down, for example. and we also have to fear isis which has this very strong capability to radicalize young men in western europe and other countries, including the united states. >> rose: thank you, mike. >> you're welcome. >> rose: today, president obama and british prime minister david cameron wrapped up two days of talking at the white

bin laden. they said if the world and the west is standing behind "charlie hebdo" and believes that's an expression of free expression defense of free expression, then these people said we want to come out and say we love osama bin laden. so this crisis is appealing to a fringe, a radical fringe in turkey and some other countries but not just the fringe because while there's a fundamental misunderstanding here in the west, in the united states certainly in france where i was throughout the "charlie hebdo" crisis, the i am charlie slogan was seen as a defense of freedom of speech. defense to print whatever you want. but then with the enormous success of the magazine millions of copies sold with yet another insulting image of the muslim prophet muhammad on the cover. people in the islamic world thought okay the slogan i am charlie really means you are standing with a magazine that continually targets islam and continues to insult the faith. >> ibrahim, let me bring you in on that to richard's point. you have the fringe or far more extreme reaction of violence but those who perhaps are moderate who sa

more on al qaeda's claim that it gave the orders to kill staffers at "charlie hebdo" and that it came straight from osama bin laden's replacement. that's according to a video release said to be authentic. the terror network's most dangerous branch produced it. katherine is here live in washington. what do we know about this video? >> the 11-minute videotape lays claim to the paris sa kerr. the state department confirmed it is authentic and consistent with aqap. >> the latest example of the brutality that is their calling car. particularly in terms of internal plotting outside of their region where they're located and that they've perpetrated these kinds of attacks. >> based on u.s. government sources who ran al qaeda in yemen's external plotting met with one of the kouachi brothers in 2011 and gave him training and financing. this booking photo of the cle rick comes from a 1998 san diego arrest. the claim for responsibility in the new tape is made by an al qaeda ap rative who worked directly with leadership in pakistan. he claims the attack was coordinated with the help of their leader. >> he's someone who s

charlie hebdo" attacks. not much mention of yem bin u.s. officials. they're not going to evacuate the embassy. they say hadi remains the legitimate president of yemen and that the u.s. does remain in contact with him. >> katy i want to take a look at the latest isis hostage crisis. really a heartbreaking story a lot of us are following. japanese hostages two of them about 48 hours left until isis says it's going to execute them. they're asking for $200 million in ransom. what are you hearing about that? >> so far japan has not said it will pay the ransom. then again, it hasn't said it won't pay them either. the japanese prime minister shinzo abel said this is a very difficult battle against time and they're pursuing all channels to release the men but also that they won't bow to terrorism. we can now name the hostages. one a troubled man that seemed to be obsessed with guns. also a journalist who had been in and out of the region returning most recently to syria last october. but again, a race against time. the deadline is friday. and unclear exactly what's going to happen here. ronan? >> a st

bin laden set that as a goal this 2004. if you'll notice after "charlie hebdo," the response was double down on french population and in the united states and britain. so they're being successful around the world in many different ways. >> it's interesting and also going back to your point about -- i guess our one's wish could be these different groups end up fighting each other and killing each other. on the flip side, what if the opposite happens? would they join forces is that a possibility? >> of course it's a possibility. we're the united states of america. since 2001 we have used a fraction of our military power. >> political leaders in both parties will not unleash to kill these leaders. if they'd do this in numbers necessary, we could end this problem. we have to depend on other things like sectarian violence to blunt the edge of their weapon against us. >> michael scheuer, thank you for your time. and david on the phone with me. i appreciate you both. meantime the race is on to save two hostages held captive by isis. they may have just a few hour

bin laden. al qaeda's chief recruiter in europe tied to not only the "charlie hebdo" attackers, but also amedy coulibaly, who took that kosher market. this draws a direct line to overseas terror organizations and to this point, the discussion had been is aqap which the "charlie hebdo" attackers said they were tied to, you also have amedy coulibaly saying that he pledged allegiance to isis. now you have a direct tie to core al qaeda in pakistan. it's a confusing mix of allegiance but direct lines to overseas terrorist organizations. why do we care about this back home in the u.s.? because each of these groups are ones that u.s. counterterror officials believe pose a real threat to the u.s. and it shows them active in a way and with an m.o. that has been different from their m.o. in the past. it expands the severity of the threat tonight. >> hayat boumeddiene had believed she was in the kosher market at the time of the hostage takeover. but we now have video showing her entering turkey on january 2nd she left for syria on january 8th. that seems to rule her out as an active participant in the grocery stor

charlie hebdo." >> reporter: ordered by ayman al sa waurie osama bin laden's sishgsz on al wa laucky suggesting thesed them from a belgium arms dealer now turned himself in to police. coulibaly also bought the two machine guns he used to attack the kosher market. his suspected accomplice hayat boumeddiene left before the attacks and came here to istanbul before disappearing into syria. >>> and i'm joined now by ambassador mark ginsburg a former white house middle east policy adviser. good to see you. >> good to see you. good morning, jose. >> start with the latest development out of madrid. what would the significance be if coulibaly got support there? >> indeed significant, because after all, since the horrific madrid attacks that happened in the early 2003 against the madrid train station, as you indicated, al qaeda's franchises in north africa al qaeda in the maghreb harks been known to have ties both into spain and to italy. the fact of the matter is spanish authorities, because i'm well familiar with this neck of the woods having been ambassador, i'm well aware there had been attacks in morocc

bin laden financed the attack and said it was revenge for insulting the prophet muhammad. french police are looking for at least six terror suspects connected to the attacks at charlie hebdo and a supermarket. >>> nasa trying to figure out what triggered an alarm on the international space station this morning forcing three astronauts to evacuate. the alarm indicated an ammonia leak in the american part of the space takes, but nasa believe -- station, but nasa believes it was just a faulty sensor. the two astronauts quickly moved to the russian part of the station. >>> stocks made it back up today but still closed in negative territory. at up with point the dow was down nearly 350 points. -- at one point the dow was down nearly 350 points. it got about half of that back. >>> starbucks is offering a retail online management degree for starbucks baristas. >>> the only station with weather alert days, wusa9 first alert weather. >> sorry, kids, no more snow in the forecast at least for the next several days. >> maybe some snow showers sunday night. >> that doesn't count. >> do your homework, kids. you can wash your car or truck, at least three dry days and temperatures going

bin laden's central organization. that organization also specifically targeted charlie and specifically targeted the editor. so this is a planned attack. they knew where to go. they knew who they were after. the editor plus the cartoonist. they were not suicide people. they wanted to escape. the other guy at the grocery store has clear links to the two brothers. this is a broader conspiracy here. the degree of preplanning is not clear in my mind for the second assault. that might have been something that he did to try to get those two released. not clear. but the initial attack well planned, well thought out. probably coordinated with the yemeni leadership of al qaeda. this is a very dangerous precedent. if more of those types of people are in france or in the united states for that matter. >> michael sheehan, thank you. i'll be going back to you throughout the remainder of this program. msnbc law enforcement analyst and former hostage negotiator for the bureau of alcohol firearms and explosives. we were talking about the fact these two brothers when they went into the french magazine in paris, were not spo

bin laden is claiming. he calls the kouachi brothers heroes of islam. we'll head back to jim sciutto in front of the "charlieedom to pick the point, the time the place and the target some years down the road. sleeper cells have existed before. their instructions could have also been to lie low for a number of years so you fall off the author's radar screens and carry out the attack. it's still a question that u.s. intelligence certainly is seeking to answer. u.s. and french intelligence services both trying to determine if and how al qaeda and the arabian peninsula xhoout communicated with the kouachi brothers after one or both of them came back in 2011. nick paton walsh tells us more about the al qaeda commander who is now seizing the spotlight. >> reporter: nasr al ansi age 39 before his ambitious claims today has trotted al qaeda's warped globe. he once fought in bosnia and then bin laden apparently took notice of his military prowess when he attended camps in afghanistan at the height of the group's haven under the taliban in 1998. dispatching hitch o to the philippines to spread their toxic brand ahead

bin laden as an inspiration. he was killed when police raided the supermarket where he had been holding multiple hostages. four died in that raid. "charlie hebdo" was provocative, at times offensive and made enemies i talked earlier with a film-maker and asked his impressions of the magazine. >> when "charlie hebdo" was taken to court by muslim associations who were asking them why they were publishing carr took place, that was back in 2006, 2007 after the problems with mohammed cartoons published by a danish newspaper. back in the day, "charlie hebdo" was convinced - the people were convinced there was a point to be made a point that even though there are religions, things that - believers deemed sacred journalists have a right - freedom of speech to make fun of everything and that is what "charlie hebdo" was. it was the first line of defense in the freedom of expression making fun of everything. for them today, you know obviously what happened is dramatic. but food for them to see everyone gathered around them all the people they made fun of you know these guys made fun of muslims, they made fun more fundamentalists, which is a big dif

bin laden. they are still in his vision carrying out these operations specifically targeting western countries. >> and laij the two brothers that carried out at tack on "charlie hebdo" headquarters did make references to al qaeda in yemen or the arabian peninsula, is there anything tieing them to one of these two terrorists? >> well according by a.p. the attack to "charlie hebdo" is directly connected to their leadership. of course, we know that ala lackey killed in september of 2011 had a role in making this community happen between the kouachi brothers and the al qaeda leadership on the other. and they cated that -- indicated that the top leader in al qaeda was aware of the plot and gave his blessings. so it appears that al qaeda was directly connected to this plot. now the question remains is were they just connected back in 2011 before the death of al-awlaki or the plot remained and the guys went in a sleeper cell mode before executing operations when they got logistic support. >> i'm just getting this in lathe, nbc news has chosen to release four of the cartoons contained in the new editions of "charlie hebdo." we have a picture of a figure of death that
