for boko haram the al qaeda allied extremist group in nigeria, nothing seems beyond the pale. rapes executions, and kid kidnappings, young girls sent strapped with bombs. aftermath of different murders in paris. millions of people from around the world flooded the streets of paris saturday. waving pens, flags and signs repeating the message: je suis charlie, i am charlie. 40 international dignitaries joined the march linking arms with french president francois hollande walking down washington d.c.'s main arteries in a show of support. this week france is still on high alert. 10,000 troops were deployed throughout the country monday, many standing guard at yuba jewish schools. >> translator: this morning when we arrived we recorded at least 20% of students absent which means at least 20% of the students parents have chosen not to bring them to school. this is a huge number. >> and while france was in the middle of its crisis last week after the killing of 17 innocent people by home grown extremists more than 3,000 miles away in nigeria a long known internal threat was unfolding

islamic state, al qaeda took responsibility for the attack in paris. and also, boko haram released a video praising the attack in paris. so we now know that al qaeda, boko haram, isis, they're all together. they're all playing -- they're all cut from the same cloth and the encloses is muz imex-slim extremism. it's time we start calling it what it is. >> there was breaking news before we came on air an ohio man, christopher lee cornell also known as ubaidi, he was arrested on charges of attempting to kill a u.s. government official. he wanted to wage jihad with bombs and guns inside the capitol building. we don't know a lot about him yet, if he was sophisticated or not. we know there's at least somebody that law enforcement was able to get before he tried anything. >> right. i mean, this is no surprise. we know we don't need to have a bulletin or a top-secret memo come out to say that there are sleeper cells that are active in the united states. they are waiting for the opportunity. the one thing that we know for sure that the enemy has is patience. and they have patience t

top of the -- at the top level of these groups you can find all different kind of ideological differences, differences between al qaeda and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and boko haramhey follow and they are sometimes affiliated and sometimes at odds. the nusra front in al qaeda has been fighting against isis on many fronts in syria so all of that is true but when it comes right down to it there is sympathy among jihadists. let's not say muslims, but among jihadists there's definitely sympathy with the people who carried out the attacks against "charlie hebdo" and against the jewish kosher grocery here in paris because it's right in line with the simplest kind of jihadist ideology which is somebody offends the prophet and you kill them. if you are jewish and identify with israel and the occupation of muslim palestine then you kill those people too. it's very simple. it's very brutal. there's really no reasoning with it, and that is exactly the line at the bottom level that boko haram and all these other groups take. >> christopher, you know we've been talking about this for some time the girlfriend of coulibaly left for madrid into -- into turkey. now there are repo

al qaeda? >> interesting there are historical ties to al qaeda. there were letters found from leadership of boko haram to the. u.s. government recognized on number of occasions boko haram received support from several different al qaeda groups including al qaeda in the islamic maghreb and aqap which we see in the headlines. shabaab which is affiliate or branch in eastern africa. they have a lot of ties to al qaeda. where they are in the al qaeda sphere is sort of up for debate. >> the ultimate goal of creating this state in africa is what? is it a threat to us here in the united states? >> well you know, what i would caution against there is this assumption these guys are local yo cycles or basically interested in local violence and whoops, we find out they do have intentions to strike internationally. we've seen that with aqap in yemen and other groups elsewhere. the bottom line this group executed attacks outside of borders of nigeria. it has been tied to al qaeda branches in the past. we can't rule out in the future they will do something else. gerri: the areas mentioned in the report about where this att

republican and democrat, in urging the obama administration to push the united nations security council to add boko haram to the al qaeda sanctions list, following the abduction of nearly 300 school girls threatened to be sold into sexual slavery by this terrorist group. the horrific kidnapping of the female nigerian school studes captured the world's shock and horror. however, human trafficking is not just a foreign issue. together we can be a powerful bipartisan voice against the horrors of this and other instances of human trafficking. both democrats and republicans in the house understand the importance of working together to protect women and girls and they know that trafficking isn't just a political issue, it's a human issue. i've organized discussions on this topic back home in new hampshire where i've heard from community leaders, law enforcement officials, academic researchers advocates and most importantly and frankly most eloquently the trafficking victims themselves. about the ongoing occurrence of human and sex trafficking taking place right here in our own backyard. domestic child sex trafficking is a ser

the war against terrorist groups. it's clear now we're not on a downhill. it's a different challenge. you have al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, you have al qaeda, isis, boko haram. now you have self-radicalized or smaller cells across europe and in the united states both leaders talking about how long this would take. because of that the separate challenges the different challenges and the complexity of the encryption issue and the technology issue and free speech. i think there was that moment where people had wishful thinking. and it's been obliterated again by the events -- >> mike were you surprised how forceful the president and the prime minister both were in telling congress right now, don't pass additional legislation in imposing the threat of additional sanctions against iran if these diplomatic negotiations fail hold your fire you can do that later but it will undermine this process and only set the stage potentially for military action? >> a couple of things in that, wolf. these members have participated in the understanding of what iran was doing for years. and there's very senior democrats -- this tells me there's a bit of a no confidence with the

the risks that exist there. i just want to ask this broader question. you have air strikes, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. and you have boko haram with one of the worst -- slaughtering almost 2,000 people. how is it to think of these entities in the same bucket. does it aide in thinking about these things, does it make more sense or does it obscure more than it reveals? >> i think that recognizing there is something that groups like isis, al qaeda, boko haram and the taliban have in common is important. what they have in common is adherence to the state religion of saudi arabia. that's an important fact to keep in mind because it reminds us first and foremost that this is not islam at large but one particular brand of islam. it's also important because it reminds us of what the source of that particular brand of islam is. it happens to be our closest friends in the middle east. our good friends, the saudis. there's a sense of responsibility that has to be put on the shoulders of a regime that has spent $100 billion over the into these debating about religion and if islam is responsible. those kinds of things become politically a

but there's no question about what the source of this virus is, whether we're talking about boko haram or isis or al qaedae taliban, all of these have as their source a single sect. the state religious of saudi arabia. as most people know, saudi arabia spent approximately $100 billion over the last 20, 30 years spreading this ideology throughout the world. so we do have a problem within the muslim community but that problem tends to be very much localized within a particular ideology that must be confronted first and foremost by muslims themselves. >> i was going to say, we have had this conversation previously on this show not long ago. i want to get you to react to something you were going to be appearing with ali but i want to read a part of her op ed thursday. she was a former muslim. she writes this. what would you say to her? >> i would is a that she's being too reduckive in her reasoning. it's important to keep in mind when you are dealing with second largest religion in the world with 1.7 billion people, there's no minority demographic group in western society that is placed with more guilt than m

the nigerian military to take them on. >> they are certainly well-armed and well-trained. i think part of this has been association boko haram has had with other terrorist organizations, al qaeda, perhaps others. the leader has praised al qaeda. they appear to be well-funded. they appear to be very heavily armed, and in some cases over matching the nigerian security forces. that has enabled them to essentially assert control over geographic territory to an extent which we have not seen before. >> do you see any chance that they will be tackled by the nigerians before or after the elections? >> not by nigeria alone. i think with bo boko haram reach'-- i think boko haram's reach has extended. it will require international forces to address this very real concern. >> a story that has been underreported over the last few days but clearly very serious in northern nigeria. you're watching bbc world news america. still to come, one of the black boxes for the air asia flight crashed into the java sea has been recovered. investigators hope it could unravel the mystery of exactly what happened. the bbc has learned that the so-called islamic state movement is trying to recruit fighters i

the following are terrorists because they either kill or support killing civilians. al qaeda isis, boko haramliban, iranian mullahs, hezbollah, hamas the muslim brotherhood and every other jihadist group. it's going on the chart. write them down. send it down to the white house so they know. now, there are also terror groups not aligned with radical islam but they are insignificant at this point, thank god. a new fox news poll shows americans are are getting fed up with the dumb dance the white house is doing. when asked if america is at war with radical islam 56% say yes, 37% no. when asked if president obama overor under emphasizes the terror threat. 47% under. 43% about right. 6% over. actually that poll is closer than i thought it would be. must be weighted toward san francisco people. the truth is that the muslim world, most of it, would like to see the jihadis defeated. bad for business, bad for the soul. america is not going to put the jihadis out of business because the commander and chief lacks the will and the folks, we the people, have had enough. why should we bear the brunt of th

years ago we were talking about al qaeda inspired and then we were talking about al shabab inspired and then boko haram inspired and now people talk about ices or isil. thenator is islamism. it's safe to say it's islamist inspired. doesn't matter if it was isil or al qaeda. we need to get to the bottom of who as individuals carried out these attacks and where they received training and they were able to buy their weapons. catch them as soon as possible and then prevent further attacks from taking place. also it's very very important that mainstream civic society comes together and formulates a unified response to the ideology and until we do that we're never really going to win this battle. >> let me ask you more about the unified response. we just heard -- i don't know if you had a chance to listen we heard from the president of france francois hollande saying this message of freedom, we as a world will continue to defend freedom of speech and freedom of expression. what unified message are you talking about muslim countries? are you talking about europe? how do you mean? >> first of all, we have to understand that there's a difference between islam the

the ideology. that is what al qaeda believes. despite the fact that you have i.s.i.l. you have al-shabab, boko haram, you have the islam, they believe the same thing. that this is a cultish reinvention of what they believe islam is that they want to bring that and strike at the enemies and expand it through a popular attack and that's where you get the rise of i.s.i.s. all of the people it doesn't matter what they say in the videos they believe the west must be punished and the muslim world must be reengin eared. being more specific one of the brothers said kouachi reportedly received training in yemen from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. if ac a.p. is found to be behind this. would you expect the u.s. to take a more active role in rooting out al qaeda in yemen, and if so what are the challenges that would present. >> i don't believe this one specific incident in france will change the dynamic of how we do counterterrorism organizations. al qaeda was pushed to yemen when the saudis defeated it doctor a counterterrorism war in the mid 2000. once they were pushed down into yemen, they went out into

syria, how they try to have this freedom of movement across the border, how al qaeda does that in afghanistan and pakistan, this is what boko haram that's why the attack is terrible, the killings of these girls absolutely awful, beyond comprehension. now they're trying to take these big chunks of territory on the border. >> what is the solution here? is nigeria defenseless to this militant group? >> the army is having a hard time standing up. on the border area they were working as a multinational force with troops from the north and chad to west. the army alone has a huge problem. cant retake the capital at the moment. >>> thank you for watching. wolf starts now. >>> hello. i'm wolf blitster. it's 1:00 p.m. here in new york. whether you're watching from around the world, thanks v much for joining us. france on alert right now an on guard against the threat of terrorism of the wave of attacks that killed 17 people. at least 8,000 people, 10,000 soldiers are being deployed across the country. the french minister tells cnn, a cnn affiliate, i'm quoting now, the threat is still very much present. the female suspect who's the focus o
