it's the guru. >> ward: beghal and coulibaly were soon heading back to prison for another plot.ed everyone is that after coulibaly was released in march of last year he was never followed again. >> chouet: well, it's funny. but in france, for the sexual criminals, we have a databank, fingerprints, dna. they... they are obliged to go to the police precinct or to the gendarmerie every week. they have to say where they live, where they work, and so on. but for the terrorists, nothing. when they are finished with their sentence, with jail, it's finished. nobody follows. >> ward: how is that possible? >> chouet: it's possible. >> ward: in 2011, after at least one of the kouachis briefly visited yemen, the brothers went quiet, and just seven months before the attacks, their surveillance stopped. as with their friend coulibaly they had slipped off the radar. >> raufer: during that time, the kouachi brothers were quietly preparing, buying hoods, buying machine guns, kalashnikov, and stealing cars in order to attack "charlie hebdo." this is what happened. >> ward: so, in a sense, because

coulibaly doing that before liz attack. so you have those similarities. and this is the concern for authorities here right now on a very high state of alert. there was a lockdown where we are early this morning, a suspect package found. bomb squad came in. the all-clear given later. but police right now are looking for other potential accomplices. although he'd only been out of jail for two weeks, the concern is there could have been a broader network of communication. one of many cell phones may have been used. what's happening inside the jails here not just the radicalization but techniques for communicating, networks are being established for communicating between these radicalized individuals. so right now, the police have two accomplices in custody. they're going to be charged with being accomplices to murder and attempted murder here. but are there others? that's what the police are looking for here and what we're learning from paris now is just how, if you will devious and subtle and the lengths that these individuals will go to to communicate belo

coulibaly had up to 14 phones.and he talked about the opening hours for the market suggesting that it was a preplanned target. wolf? >> a large number -- the french interior minister is suggesting that a large number of terrorist cells are operating in france. they are actually tracking in his words, hundreds of possible terrorist cells in france. that's a lot more than people suspected. >> i think they knew from the beginning that they were following that many before the attacks happened. and when they called off the surveillances of the kouachi brothers last june we questioned at the time who are they still following that they let go of these guys because of a lack of resources? so the fact that there's hundreds of potential terrorists in france is nothing new. it goes back at least a decade. they are coordinating among the countries. >> you're a good person to ask this question to. the white house is hosting and tomorrow as well a summit that they are entitling countering violent extremism. there's been criticis

two days later coulibaly would kill four customers in the kosher market before police killed him. the text was sent at 10:19 a.m. on the morning of the "charlie hebdo" attack from kouachi to one of the 17 cell phones. a phone french investigators believe of bought specifically to communicate with the kouachi brothers. only six tejss were sent. the text sent that morning of the last. this new reported would in further corroborates a communication between the kouachis and coulibaly. cnn reported in january that the wife of coulibaly and one of the kouachi brothers had 500 phone calls between them during the year before the attacks. the paper reports this evidence from the phone shows this coulibaly and kouachi also met in person sometime likely between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on the morning of the attack. >> they were satisfied with the operational security taking the opportunity to meet in person is a bit of a chance. but it is also, of course, it deep them from communicating certain fax and details electronic low. >> reporter: and from the phones, one more bizarre detail. investiga

despite the name there appears to be no link with amedy coulibaly. a gunman that killed many at a supermarket. that attack and the killing of 12 people at "charlie hebdo". led to a large increase in security across france. 10,000 soldiers have been deployed outside sensitive sites and some media headquarters. >> france has been on its highest state of alert since the attack on "charlie hebdo". security checks have been introduced to public buildings. french people are aware that heavy police and the army are likely to be the norm for some time to scam. >> sri lanka's new president made a major policy address to the nation taking office. they poke sat a military parade celebrating independence. let's go live to colombo. what did the new man have to say? >> the new president striking very much has been on about ever since he began to campaign train. essentially a political culture. he talked about the challenge, the new challenge of today being uniting the north and south, the uniting, the minds, and hearts of people in the north and south, and taking

nonetheless, this coulibaly had been on the radar of french intelligence officials, mainly because he took a one-way flight to turkey on the 29th of january. so just a few days ago. he went to turkey. they signaled the turkish authorities. the turkish authorities sent him back. he came back to france and they called him in for questioning. he was questioned but they didn't hold him because they didn't have anything to hold him on except he had taken a one-way flight to turkey. so he was released and was on the streets. then suddenly perpetrated this knife attack this afternoon in nice. >> i know they're investigating if there's any relationship between this suspect with the knife attack in nice whose name is coulibaly, as opposed to amedy coulibaly, the guy who went into the jewish supermarket and murdered those four shoppers inside there before he himself was killed. we're going to stay on top of this story. jim bitterman watching what's going on in france. a lot more on the breaking news. that's it for me. i'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." for our internatio

over, took the hostages took lives sources say attacks went to one of the 13 cell phones used by coulibaly. he shot and killed four jewish people inside the grocery begin with when was this text exchange between these two men? >> when you talk about the word coordinated it was coordinated by the two men that agreed to carry out the attack at the same time. the text you're talking about is the first physical evidence that they were in touch an hour before they attacked that magazine charlie hebdo and massacred those people. now he sent the text to coulibaly. 13 phones he was using to communicate with the brothers and with others. the text was sent to that phone and it appeared also that the two friends met sometime between midnight and 1:00 the morning before the attack. so what they discussed unclear right now but an investigator is telling the newspaper they were in communication just an hour before the attack and it appears that the older brother had some sort of a stomach flu and may have even been consideration that the attack would be delayed before a later time. >> do we have any ide

do you think he's a lone wolf or had ties to extremists like coulibaly brothers in paris?this looks like self-radicalization and meeting with other people and this is a very dangerous precedent that we're seeing here. because this could happen in any capital in europe and as michael says, it's going to come to the united states because we're no longer dealing with organized -- i'm sorry -- organized terrorism. now we're doing -- anybody can sign up for this. anybody with a computer has access to this radicalization. many of these attacks came right after isis told people to do this. so they do have a following and the people are adhering to that following. >> speaking of coming right after, the perpetrator was recently released from prison. we see that in a number of some of these self-radicalized men and women. how can the intelligence better monitor radical groups in prison? >> well i think it's like any sort of human intelligence target. you need to have people who are reporting to you from the inside. so it's a matter of turning people having informants in these groups

he actually tested coulibaly. this is the first evidence showing they intended to carry out a coordinated attack. kouachi and then coulibaly days later. the text was sent to one of 13 phones he had. he was under surveillance and may have been trying to avoid protection by authorities he believed were watching him. there's also evidence to suggest the two men actually met him the morning of that attack sometime between 12:00 and 1:00 in the morning and there was discussion that perhaps they called the attack off because the older brother appeared to have some sort of a stomach flu. so they met and right before the attack they texted. perhaps a go that it was on as planned. >> a couple of points you mentioned the 13 cell phones. apparently the one he had was specifically to communicate with the brothers and number two the fact that this attack at charlie hebdo may not have happened -- i don't want to say may never have happened but because one of the brothers had stomach flu? >> well that's what is so interesting. t

texts between amedy coulibaly and the kouachi brothers have been revealed. what do the texts show? all along, there were questions about how much coordination there was between the kouachi brothers and coulibaly who attacked the market. >> reporter: it shows closer coordination. they were accused of being involved in a previous plot together and an enormous amount of communication between their wives. the wife, boumeddiene. one of the wives of the brothers. and the years leading up. but in this case, you have text messages just in the hours leading up to these attacks. this is lamong, the french newspaper reporting. and based on the information in the cell phones, evidence that coulibaly met face to face in the very early morning hours before the attack with one of the kouachi brothers. that would suggest a level of coordination in terms of timing, target, et cetera, that we weren't aware of before. >> and la manz reporting the "charlie hebdo" attacks were on the verge of being cancelled. what's with that? >> reporter: it's one of the bizarre details. one of the kouachi brothers ha

investigators saying cherif kouachi sent a text to coulibali an hour before the brothers entered the magazine and started that massacre on january 7th. the text was sent by kouachi to one of 13 phones belonging to his friend cueoulibali a day later shot a policewoman and went on to the jewish market killing several people as well as taking hostages. before any of that we're now being told through the text messages that the two friends met sometime between midnight and 1:00 a.m. the attack was discussed at that time and there was consideration according to are investigators that the attack be delayed because the elder kouachi brother said had some sort of stomach flu. the men decided to go ahead with the attacks anyway and of course everyone knows the outcome there. it shows that even though the kouachi brothers were acting on behalf of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, coulibali was acting on behalf of isis. it looks like the friends decided to coordinate the attacks but we have no evidence that the two terror organizations even though they share an ideology were coordinating at tha

boumeddiene and coulibaly visited at least once with a radical recruiter.ed other details. at 8 years old, her mother died placed at a group home at age 13 and she met one of the kouachi brothers who attacked "charlie hebdo." >> they think they will find through this organization and their ideology some kind of recognition that they couldn't have in their normal life. so yes, indeed by both means, they are andttracted one to the other. >> as clear as day in behind boumeddiene was not seen as a threat before the paris attacks. now authorities in france are realizing they should have paid much more attention to her. >> they certainly should have. thank you very much joe johns. let's bring back our terrorism analyst, paul cruickshank. this attack by a knife, the two soldiers patrolling outside of a jewish center this follows the isis video calling for attacks on the french. do you think there is a connection here? >> there could be a connection. just today there was a video released calling for knife attacks on french police in france by isis supporters and th

she was married to amedy cowl la coulibaly coulibaly. >> they published when they say is a question andnd of session with his widow. they offer no proof though this is the woman, boumeddiene told the group she had no problem reaching isis territory. let's discuss this with cnn terror analyst paul crook shank. you have been looking into this. what do you think is most kweb shall that she allegedly has said. >> well, that claiming that she's reached the caliphate that put out this q&a yesterday in a french isis online magazine they put the same out in english today, and the basic claim is she's reached syria that she's happy to be there and has a message for other jihadis around the world to keep on the fight as well. but as you said no proof or picture or corroboration that she's actually reached syria. but she's believed to have crossed the tur turkish-syrian border the day before. >> she got there before the whole world was watching before everyone was looking for her and presumably would have been taking measures to keep her from getting in there. what's the propaganda significance of

coulibaly. >> u.s.elieve it's not credible. what was their thinking -- why do you think they published this? >> look i remember watching the communications of the al qaeda guys, isis guys. they saw the response the jordanian pilot, more significantly. they have seen the response to the murder of the american woman. why is it we get no media coverage from their perspective, no media released from their optic of the american woman and immediately we get coverage of boumeddiene? the answer is straightforward. they are savvy. they have realized they have to cover their tracks. >>> the best way is to come up with stories that will eliminate the bad news of the last couple of weeks for them. that's why this is in the news today. >> does it surprise you that she was able to reach the isis areas in syria? >> it does not, wolf. it doesn't surprise me at all, because she didn't have the record. it was her boyfriend that did. i think she smoothly passed through turkey and into syria. again, she is going to be a ke

initially when that name was announced, there were jittery nerves here, because coulibali was a name of one of the families involved in the attacks. they are not from the same family. the man accused of carrying out the attack in nice tuesday, they are saying was already known to the police and apparently was actually questioned by french intelligence just recently after returning from turkey. apparently he was turned back at istanbul airport suspected by turkish authorities are trying to get to syria. this incident is being treated by the french as potentially a terrorist incident, and it is the anti terrorist police and court system handling the case at the moment. >> this is like rattled nerves already jittery from the charlie hebdo attacks. >> people are nervous here, because there were a series of attacks a month ago in paris. if you recall for days on end there was almost an attack a day. there was the initial shootout, the shooting attack, the charlie hebdo newspaper here in paris in which 12 people were killed. the following day, one police woman was killed on traffic duty an

when we talk about the horrific attack in paris, you know the brothers there as well as coulibaly. he was monitored for a long time and then they stopped monitoring them and clearly, clearly, that fell through the cracks. do you have concerns that some of the folks being monitored here in the united states could know that they are being monitored and then stop talking about what they are still clearly planning to do? >> oh absolutely. and i think a lot of people think they are being monitored even when they are not. that's the other -- fortunately, you hope that they are all worried about that. we have 1.1 million people on our terror watch list here in the u.s. >> wow. >> there are not enough law enforcement officers. the entire united states has 800,000 law enforcement officers. so that's not even the ability to one on one follow a million people. that's why, as bob mentioned, they have the triage and look at who is the biggest threat and when they stop looking at one crew they have to start looking at others when they could redeploy the resources. if they have enough evidence to
