>> reporter: this warning is in response to that, erin. this is a joint bulletin sent out by the fbi and department of homeland security to law enforcement agencies across the country, telling them to stay on heightened alert for lone wolf attacks in the wake of the strikes against khorason and isis in syria. the concern among law enforcement officials i've been speaking with, erin, is that the strikes could perhaps incite violence from isis sympathizers, from al qaeda sympathizers. this could, as one source put it, move up scheduling of a homegrown violent extremist to launch an attack here in the u.s. so the concern is that people living in the u.s. who sympathize with these terrorist groups may want to launch an attack as a response to the strikes in syria. they may want to exploit that. we're learning that the bulletin is not necessarily in response to specific intelligence, it's more as a precaution, erin. >> pamela brown, thank you very much with that breaking news tonight. and now our other breaking story. officials say the u.s. air

>> i have no idea what they know, erin. but i think it's reasonable to expect the singular focus of special operations command, central command, the cia and the special activities division of the cia, if it's possible to find these people, and i think it's possible, we'll find them and kill them. >> there's a new video also out today that is pretty incredible from al qaeda actually which no one is talking about right now, everyone is talking about isis. but a 55-minute video which we're showing you here. you hear them speaking, talking about a whole new branch they're opening up of al qaeda. what do you make of that? >> i think it's an act of desperati desperation. al qaeda has been eclipsed. you look at boko haram in niger nigeria, they've sworn allegiance -- groups all over the middle east are looking at the capital of the islamic state and this is the way to go. how many people are they going to attract at this point? and al qaeda i think is fairly irrelevant at this point. >> thanks very much to both of you. next, the b

joining me right now from the white house, cnn's erin mcpike. so, erin, how effective do we understand these air strikes to have been? >> reporter: fred, our reporting so far on the ground there, and from the pentagon, shows that these air strikes over syria have not made much of a difference yet. now, we know that three arab nations joined with the united states in these air strikes and they exited the area safely. but from what we have learned, these strikes have destroyed some buildings and some vehicles that isis uses, but they've only done some damage to some airfields as well as the command post. now, arwa damon, cnn's arwa damon is there and she is reporting that they have not done much to break the siege over kobani. now, this is something that the defense department has been mulling for some time. however, defense secretary chuck hagel was just asked about this yesterday, and he urged patience, which you'll listen to those comments. >> we continue our operations from the air. i also want to emphasize that no one is under any allusions,
