joining us is cedric leighton. going back to this is new year's eve. when brussels canceled the new year's eve celebration and fireworks celebration because of the significant risk of a terror attacks. against that back drop, you have intelligence failures, it appears in the weeks and months of the past year that led directly to where we are today. they were on high alert, but so many of these dots were not connected, cedric. >> that's right, christine. good morning. the basic situation you have is with the terror attacks. they can attack anytime. what the belgian authorities did with the new year's celebration was try to be proactive about those particular events. that is clearly in retrospect a wise decision. the fact they canceled those events indicate they had some intelligence something would happen. they proceeded out of an abundance of caution to do that. unfortunately, these intelligence efforts have to continue. they have to not only take care of the big events we know about, but look for opportunities the terrorists will take in a train stati

leighton. ok, syria. any other countries? sarah. russia. any other countries? thank you.

retired colonel cedric leighton. colonel, we know the advanced stages of the plot to attack. this person did not get spooked or notice anything out of the ordinary. if they do, they can expedite plans quickly. >> that is right, victor. the french police were fortunate they were able to get the suspect and get him in a way as you described without causing undue notice or alerting other members of terrorist cells. we don't know what else is going on in france or belgium. there may be a lot of them trying to go underground right now. that action in and of itself is a indication there is something amiss and may also lead authorities to those odd patterns of behavior and more suspects. >> we saw raids overnight as well. there has been criticism in months and years past that in belgium, they wouldn't do nighttime raids. something routine in other parts of the world to catch suspects by surprise. last night, there were more raids. this as we are learning about the missed signals in ibrahim el bakraoui. he was released early from a nine--year sentence for firing a kalashnikov at poli

we are joined by cedric leighton. that sounds to me like a classic intelligence failure. turkey telling belgium one of the suspects, we think he is a militant, actually deporting to the netherlands and he gets in a car or on a train and cross the border. the belgians don't notice or miss it. >> absolutely, christine. it is the thing where the red flags were there when you see the red notice by interpol put out on him and the different warnings passed. what they should have done is they should have surveilled ibrahim el bakraoui. they should have taken a look at exactly what his pattern of life was and who his associates were and where he lived. if he was using aliases. it is easy to do this in hindsight. one of the key things of surveillance work, there is a lot of drudgy before you get a big break. it is all of the work you have to do in order to get these kinds of people. they are basically hiding in plain sight. >> cedric, how much of what has been exposed in the last 48 to 72 hours resources and how much is a structure problem that this changes? a complete change from

. >> can this tikind of attack be stopped, joining us is cedric leighton and tim lister. to start with you. draw for me, i guess, the flowchart of these guys, these two brothers, the paris attacker who was captured just last week. this is not two separate cells. we now know that the paris cell and the brussels cell, they are intertwined here. >> yeah. you can say intertwined, interconnected, loosely connected. one thing investigators across europe would love to know is what is isis' motive operandi. does it have a big man directing operations or are these almost autonomous cells who have the vaguest realization that other cells exist? that's a big part of the question. how much in the way of resources have isis put into europe? how many people? how are they organized? i don't think european security agencies are anywhere close to knowing the answer of that. the evidence of the last few months suggests not. in one instance, one of the people involved in the paris attacks goes under a supseudo name, he goes on trial in belgium, and they just connected the dots to say this m

colonel cedric leighton, cnn military only lift former intelligence officer and former official over at nsa, national security agency. also joining us shahad monalone, spent sometime in the belgian suburb molenbeek. first of all, cedric, some arrests, they're looking for more. potentially sleeper cells as well. how do they go ahead in belgium with their limited capabilities and let's put it bluntly, not necessarily great work they've done so far to round up all of these terrorists? >> well, wolf, that's exactly the problem, what you see is the situation where they almost got them. it is very clear that these terrorists were feeling the heat from the police. but they just didn't have the action in the part of actionable intelligence that they really needed. they had the intelligence but not to the fidelity that they needed in the way they handled the raid on friday when he captured abdeslam. but what they had is the information to go in and conduct it. and they didn't have the information they needed. >> you've spent some time over there working in communities, in brussels, else where
