the battle of first fallujah. it was insurgency.qawi was leading it. >> fallujah exploded when four contractors were ambushed. killed. their bodies were burned and mutilated. one of them was my old operations sergeant in the rangers. the bodies were hung famously from the traffic bridge, and there were people dancing in the streets. there were young children holding pieces of american bodies almost like you'd wave around a lollipop. the first thing you feel is just rage. you feel frustration. you want to get in and solve the problem. >> they want to kill innocent life. to try to get us to quit. we're not going to. and our military commanders will take whatever action is necessary to secure fallujah on behalf of the iraqi people. >> this fight starts. the first thing that happens is we're going to go in and get control of fallujah. and very quickly, it boils down into a fight, and then to a siege. >> they were fighting zarqawi and al qaeda. we realized, you know, holy [ muted ], this guy is for real. >> u.s. troops are attacking on s

there's a photo of fallujah, and today fallujah is being declared -- as you probably have heard again, this time by the iraqi government with our air power. if you look at the photos of fallujah, they're pretty devastating as far as destruction and a city that we didn't level all of it, but i think during the battle we probably leveled about half of it. dave, you may want to speak to that as a marine. there's a photo of iraqis named walid, again, these are real people with real stories and real pain that has gone on since, you know, 2003. the potato factory. terry gross, to her credit, asked me some hard questions about what went on there. let's just say that's kind of the hardest part of war which is what happens when you have a humanitarian situation and a health situation all at once with bodies on the street and how do our marine corps and we deal with that. the photo that is a department of defense photo, i wanted to put a face to the the issue of whether you call it enhanced interrogation or photo. in fact, that probably mote slated the whole -- motivated the whole five-year pro

i want to and within interrogation that you witnessed in fallujah, what i think was the mayor of fallujah at that time and -- >> guest: at prisoner had been brought in and he claimed to be the mayor of fallujah. it turned out that in fact he was the mayor of fallujah and he had been involved in an attack on the local police department in which a number of police officers were murdered so there was some suspicion that he had somehow facilitated this attack or smuggled in uniforms. i interrogated him and initially it was very direct interrogation he was passed on to another interrogator who plays him in this palestinian chair and where the name came from there were rumors that these army interrogators have been trained in israel and i don't know if that's true and it doesn't matter. we as americans did this and we needed to be sure we were focusing on what we did as a nation. so while he was being interrogated in this chair i happened to walk i. the door to the room, flimsy sheet of plywood had blown open in the hot desert wind. inside his hands are tied to his ankles and the chair forces h

and meanwhile, this comes in the wake in the loss of fallujah, the allied forces regaining that city. is this what we can expect, as the fight against isis and iraq goes forward? that they'll goes back to those guerilla tactics, terrorism, and continue these bombings in the capital and in other areas? >> well, i think this has always been isis' intent, and certainly, it has the capability. i don't see it as an either/or sort of thing. i think isis wants to expand the territory it holds, to expand the so-called caliphate. but also to demonstrate, it has a global reach in the ability to carry out terrorist attacks. this attack in baghdad, i think, the probably directly connected to the loss of fallujah, but i think the attacks in dhaka, the attack in brussels are not necessarily calibrated to isis' prospects on the battlefield. i think, certainly, it has to do with the month of ramadan until thursday, that is a logical point for isis, given its theology and politics, to have these attacks. and i have to say, i would be worried that the next one could come again in western europe or in t

we had the retaking of the city of fallujah. a u.s. air strike took out something like 250 isis fighters who are fleeing fallujah. there have been many others in recent days. but, at the same time, massive setbacks. the attack in baghdad, iraq that killed over 150 people. the attack in bangladesh over 20 killed there. a series of attacks outside of jet at this saudi arabia today. the panel continues. the united states is very good at killing armies, i should say, less good at killing ideologies. where do we stand in the fight against isis? >> even when you list those successes that the u.s. has had recently, it almost what it does is sort of confirms that maybe the strategy of fighting a war in iraq was a good idea. but certainly, the rise in terrorist attacks against civilians around the world that we have seen, i think, puts a lie to the strategy the administration is using but, more than that, it also puts a lie to these claims that somehow isis is on the run and that they're desperate. one of the most alarming things or diveal actu

and the iraqis took fallujah using militias.c press every day and these people are not focusing on fallujah, the fall of it, but rather the atrocities committed by the shi'a militia. they have a different way of looking at this and it's fueling isis and i agree with jewuliett because it didn't come on the fourth of july doesn't mean it's not coming. as long as these conflicts go on and as long as iraq is a failed state, violence will spread out, no matter how much land isis loses. >> what do you think the driving force is behind the increase in attacks, michael? dropped my pen. sorry. >> if i can pick up on bob's point about baghdad, in a way this is the outlie ir. with respect to iraq, isis has a machiavellian strategy. to get sunnis on side, what do they have to do? they have to attack the shi'a in a genocidal pathological fashion and they go in and conduct retaliatory violence against the sunnis, ethnic cleansing, burning the homes of sunnis, et cetera. fallujah right now is a popped moon scape, uninhabitable. it's not going

isis has lost a string of major iraqi cities in the last year and a half and most recently fallujah and the iraqi government, many of the car bombs and suicide bombers plaguing baghdad originated in fallujah and under iraqi government control, this bomb goes off and, of course, it turns out that the car bomb, the truck bomb, there was a refrigerator truck that didn't even come from fallujah, it came from the east, and the government is struggling to change this situation and answer a lot of questions but not that many people here in baghdad are buying it. >> the images that you have sent us back are just unbelievable. the drone video shows the extent of the situation. that's one of the worst attacks that we have seen in a long time. the death toll now at 215. ben wedeman, good luck to you and your crew and thanks for sticking it out for those reports. >>> i have other breaking news that has just come in. we've been waiting on any information potentially coming from the black boxes from the egyptair crash in the mediterranean. remember we were told they were decimated and that the inform

the problem is what we're seeing across the world is a backlash, a backlash the fall of fallujah, ra, this is the politics of december pyre. people identify with the sunnis in iraq and syria. they're striking out when they can. it's a sign of weakness. on the ore hand, they can kauds cause a lot of bloodshed on the other hand. >> iraqi forces in fallujah, were able to take back fallujah from isis, yet this terror attack happens in the iraqi capital and the prime minister has shoes thrown at him just weeks after he helped eed reta fallujah. >> what isis is doing with this particular attack in baghdad, it's very pertinent to the iraq part of the picture for them. they chose a shia neighborhood, sunni. they're trying to create as much of a sectarian division as absolutely possible. now, the prime minister is a shia and he -- those were shia people throwing shoes and rocks at him. there are division within the shia community that there's nothing isis would like better than that. what they would really like is create a situation in iraq that is so polarized in a sectarian basis there's no

because we believed that many of the previous attacks had been staged out of fallujah. i think the iraqi government was hoping if they cleared anbar province, ramadi and fallujah, that that would cut down on the amount of violence in baghdad. because, you know, the people of baghdad are more concerned about their own security than what's going to happen several months from now for the liberation of mosul. so the iraqi government, they have got to get a handle on this or the government will fall. >> nima in istanbul, turkey, days after that deadly, you know, attack there. now we understand that some 13 of 27 suspects rounded up in connection to that airport shooting and bombing investigation are in court today. so what's expected in that kind of legal proceeding? >> well, the expectation is that the judge will decide whether or not they can now be formally arrested, and that will give the authorities a sense whether this line of investigation, whether these people are the ones that they want, but just in terms of the bigger picture in terms of the week that we're having

and all that was needed was to retake fallujah from isis and those bombings would stop. fallujah has been retaken and now they discover that the bomb came not from the west, but from the east. overnight iraqi authorities executed five isis members. their execution was accelerated as part of the government's response to the bombing. they say they have 3,000 people on death row, many of them isis members that they'd like to execute. but a new law has to be passed to accelerate that. >>> the latest in the string of suicide bombings unfolding this morning in indonesia. that's the country with the largest muslim population. police say a suspected militant was on a motorcycle. he blew himself up. one officer was wounded. the attack took place in the southern indough -- muslim citizens in iraq and other places died by the hundreds. muslims killing muslims supposedly in the name of islam. the bangladeshi prime minister is furious. she said what kind of muslims are these who kill others during ramadan. she went onto say anyone who believes in religion cannot do such an act. their

going othe fact that isis forces have been forced from fallujah and it looks as if iraqi forces are moving into mosul fairly soon or at least moving in preparation for an attack on mosul, what you're seeing is isis is base ically running from a lot of its engagements. it doesn't mean isis is on the run and to say that would be a mistake at this point. isis is basically lashing out. it's what i would call where you're going in after a particular target and as soon as isis is a victim of something or feels its very existence is threatened, it's going to lash out. these types of attacks are certainly planned, but they are acts of desperation in the sense they are needed in order for isis to maintain its momentum. >> something you said before we go. it's interesting that you said intelligence officials have to put themselves in the shoes of isis who can imagine such horrific things to do. >> presumably we'll see more of this. thank you, colonel. >> you bet. absolutely. >>> happening now, heightened security as millions prepare for travel for the fourth of july holiday weekend in the wak

i think that's the direct response to fallujah where isis lost fallujah so it goes and it hits the softs shiites in particular in a shiite neighborhood, the neighborhood of karrada, with that massive truck bomb that burned up the buildings on both sides of the street. then you saw the attack at the airport here in istanbul and most recently these three attacks in saudi arabia, including one in the city of medina, not very far from the mosque where the muslim prophet mohammed is buried. that is a serious message to the saudi government, a message to try and undermine the saudi monarchy effectively saying that they're not doing their job of protecting islam's holy places. >> and we have the hajj upon us as well. >> well, i think if you look at the calendar, right now the -- isis decided it was going to attack during ramadan and you can add to the list i mentioned before the orlando attack. now there's information coming out of israel that the shooter who fired in tel aviv was also inspired by isis, a real serious uptick in violence during this muslim holy month. then the choice of targeti

and the iraqis took fallujah using militias.day and these people are not focusing on fallujah, the fall of it, but rather the atrocities committed by the shi'a militia. they have a different way of looking at this and it's fueling isis and i agree with juliette, we just cannot stop these attacks. it is just going to come this way. because it didn't come on the fourth of july doesn't mean it's not coming. as long as these conflicts go on and as long as iraq is a failed state, violence will spread out, no matter how much land isis loses. >> what do you think the driving force is behind the increase in attacks, michael? >> if i can pick up on bob's point about baghdad, in a way this is the outlier. these attacks have been characteristic since the u.s. invasion and occupation of iraq. with respect to iraq, isis has a machiavellian strategy. it has been the case since 2004. iraq is a shia majority country. isis is the extremist outcopping of sunni jihadism. to get sunnis on side, what do they have to do? they have to attack the shi'a

mosul will be after fallujah is the next target.rorism tried to deepen its roots in the city of fallujah, but with the assistance of the iraqi army and the citizens of fallujah, they managed to defeat terrorists into society. in a short period of time, fallujah was liberated, and something the world was not anticipating. and disapproves the true desire to the world at iraqi people are determined to liberate iraq. for sure, mosul requires a momentum of the efforts that are continuing your mosul is a huge city, is the second largest city after the capital. the time that mosul was under control of -- is more than two years, it's almost two years and requires a plan. the people of mosul are victorious. they are heroes. they were threatened and attacked across history so many times, and they were always achieving victory and liberating their city. the last battle, it is the last height of , achieving victory for iraqi people is not a national victory. it is an international and a global victory for the world. because terrorism and -- is

that caliphate thing, we kind of have to forget about that, perhaps. >> fallujah, itself, there may notuch left, but retaking it from isis, seems to have been a successful venture. what are they thinking as they move forward towards mosul? >> they're getting more and more isolated and supply lines are being retrained, perhaps cut off. the iraqi troops, the other forces helping us are getting closer and closer. we've got more people in the field. it looks like those cities may fall. the timeline is uncertainty. it may take weeks or much longer. clearly, the momentum is on the side of the u.s. at this point. >> toby warric, helped write the article for "the washington p t post." thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> mourners gathered at the first funerals for those who e died in the police attacks, you'll hear from relatives as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax,

it's important the successes like in fallujah continue to occur. it's a sort of philosophy about the world, of which you have recruits from all over the world. some of them never hanging out with isis but certainly inspired. but geography matters for a variety of reasons. it is where you train, it is where you gain weapons, it is how you get money, it is how you share intelligent, it's how you deploy isis terrorists to other countries. so it's not only about land but it is a lot about land. and so that is why the land fight and the land victories that we're starting to see are important. >> commissioner, you say that the jordanians and egyptians should help more in this fight against terror. what do you say they know? >> well, they're there. i don't think we have better allies in the region than the king of jordan, than the president of egypt. the king of jordan, for example, was the commander of special forces for jordan in 1999 when he became the king. he leads in the region against the -- this radical islam being movement. i think if i was this

as we have moved faster than some people anticipated to take back fallujah, take back ramadi and tikrit, the ability to deliver service to people who want to come home and have come home, beginning with tikrit where more than 100,000 iraqis have returned and living in their homes again and they've secured their land. that requires stabilization and support which comes both in form of people in support as well as equipment to support and funding for various initiatives. so the coalition is now determined to do what is necessary to defeat daesh in syria where the group has been weakened but still we know remains entrenched in raqqah. and tonight the coalition partners have carried out more than 4,000 air strikes in an effort that has clearly now going to benefit by the decision of four additional coalition member to join the arab campaign. now, we know, as i said earlier in my opening comments to all of the ministers, that defeating daesh is a challenge. we know that. we're making progress but we want to make more and we want to do it faster. we also know that getting at it in its core ar

think the attack in baghdad is almost certainly a direct response to the loss of fallujah, and saying to the forces of the iraqi government, maybe you can beat us when you have u.s. air power but we will kill your families back home. bangladesh is something else. turkey is something even more complicate. but the point is these terrorist capables are out there. with the terrorists often having a lot of awe to autonomy when to carry out attacks. this thursday is the end of ramadan. so, we're really at the peak time, and i had been worrying for the united states on the fourth of july here, that this is -- because isis loves these anniversary dates, we need to be on the -- on guard. >> turkey, bangladesh, iraq, saudi arabia, the last several days and the previous week, jordan, yemen, lebanon, and you can go back month-by-month since january where there appears to have been an escalation of attacks. you mention they like dates. ramadan ended tomorrow should we expect some of this to subside or is that simply an artificial day? >> well, think there is some incentive under their ideal to car

the bombing came barely a week after the iraqi military cleared fallujah of remaining isis fighters. they faced heavy resistance from militants as they inched closer to the city, backed up by u.s. airstrikes. the isis network has unleashed its brutal brand of terror around the globe. police in bangladesh have made arrests at a cafe leaving 20 host -- hostages dead, and an attack at the airport that claimed the lives of more than 40 people. charlie d'agata, cbs news. >> a u.c. berkeley student was of killed in that terrorist attack in bangladesh and tomorrow, a vigil will be held for 19-year- old sophomore tarishi jain. she was in dhaka, bangladesh completing an internship. >>> more fallout for britain on the heals of the controversial decision to leave the european union. the leader has quit and the foreign minister is calling the move cowardly. this is the third major political figure to step down rather than take ownership of the broken promises surrounding the vote. >>> wildfires in california are so bad that the national guard is standing in. the helicopters are helping to fight

when fallujah gentleman -- when fallujah was taken, the iraqi troops led the way. when tikrit was taken the iraqi troops led the way. they were supported by us and others in the coalition but they led the way. this is mosul, big city. right below it is a smaller city called kiara. i think a bunch our military folks call it key west. it has been taken by the iraqi forces. it's here in the salmon color but it is now in the hands of the iraqi troops, government. there is a larger air base there at kiara. it's about 40 miles from mosul. this air base will be used to help stage the coming effort this summer, this fall to retake mosul. while this is going on in this part of the country, this part of the country, raqqa, which is the spiritual capital, if you will, of the caliphate, the isis caliphate. and over here we have a combination of u.s. alliance forces coming in from the northeast approaching raqqa. we have syrian troops with the support from russian air coming this way, sort of the pinscher movement underway today. when asked how things are going, most people wou

isis lost fallujah. >> i think it's two sides of the same coin. think to maintain the notion of a caliphate, they have to hold territory. to the extent they are under pressure in iraq and syria, that's a problem for them. but they are bound to demonstrate they can carry out terrorist attacks with a global reach. i think we should consider ourselves fortunate. thank goodness for the effort that prevented terrorist attack. but ram done isn't quite over yet. these attacks in saudi arabia are perhaps the most significant of all. isis long argued the oil producing man oys of saudi arabia are heretics and blasphemers. whether this starts a new phase of attacks we don't know. molly: i are want you to take a listen to senator graham over the weekend on face the nation *. >> isil is growing in capability. what we are doing in syria is buying time. president obama is passing this on to the next president. i hope to god we don't get hit by an attack in america that was planned syria. molly: is there enough strategy to prevent an attack in the united states?
