let's go to molenbeek and look at the scene now. we have pictures of the police cordon there in belgium, the suburb of brussels, molenbeek. you can see the police line in there. our correspondent is standing by in molenbeek. let's cross to her now. we just heard the belgian broadcasters saying that the raid in molenbeek has come to an end. have you gotten more details on the progress of the operation? absolutely. i can confirm that the operation indeed came to an end. the operation started at 5:00 this afternoon and came to an end about half an hour ago. we saw all the police exit this people rushedn into the streets, international press of course, to go and see and that local residents who have been waiting since 5:00 to try and get in to their -- the operation has very much come to an and. we heard the belgian prime minister taking a very tone tonight, speaking along with francois hollande went very satisfied with the operation for having captured salah abdeslam alive with just a wound in his leg. he has been taken to the then wil

and all roads go back to molenbeek. it's outrageous. outraged that they're very high on intelligence and surveillance, wasn't able to flush out a man who not only slipped away from the paris attacks, having survived, crossed the border back into belgium and found his way back to his old neighborhood of molenbeek. we've been in that neighborhood, obviously. we were here on friday just after the raid took place. it is walking distance from his family home. it's five blocks from the house he grew up in. but it also gives you an idea of this very tight community. molenbeek itself has been a hotbed of islamic extremism and a birthplace of jihadis for at least a decade. there are several international terrorist attacks that have led back to these streets of molenbeek. and as you said, if that is an attack at the train station at molenbeek, it just shows you that that is ground central for this fight that they're taking on. we spoke to french prosecutors and belgian prosecutors yesterday. is this fight? how many more are out t

well, we got news that there was a major police operation taking place in the neighborhood of molenbeek in brussels. and there has been a four-month search for the last key surviving member of the paris attacks in november that killed 130 people. salah abdeslam. he was the only one to get away. and there's been a manhunt that has been going on from this isis-directed attack, one that and that's an important thing to mention there. this is the only one that got away. they've been sevening for him for four months. they arrested him on friday. he tried to run out of the building. the anti-terror police right there, he was shot in the leg. he was dragged into a car. and then he was taken to a high-security prison in bruge. that's where we were last night reporting on that story. the concern after that arrest, and belgian authorities and french authorities put that warning out that this man has information on major isis players, key isis players. and there is a concern that once he started speaking to prosecutors and investigators, that he was going to -- he knows where everybody is. and the

here in new york city, evening is fallen in molenbeek belgium and there is a huge police operation undert will conjure up memories four months ago, that awful, awful evening in paris that came in as a report of a shooting at a sidewalk cafe. then as friday night led into saturday morning we learned the extent. 130 innocent people died in what is sadly called a spectacular terrorist attack, in the parlance of law enforcement. it sparked, of course, a huge man hunt and woman hunt, as it turned out and the main lead suspect following that attack has apparently just in the last few hours been apprehended in the molenbeek section outside brussels, belgium. salah abdeslam is in custody. we learned that from a government minister in belgium but in and around brussels and its suburbs this is what you see. you see people unable to go back to their homes, people getting out of work and kind of frozen in place. you see police officers, paramilitary, swat teams, dogs and it's easy to go back to that very, very dark place four months ago when there had been a terrorist attack. we don't know how to ex

and all roads go back to molenbeek. it's outrageous. people here, belgians are outraged that they're very high on intelligence and surveillance, wasn't able to flush out a man who not only slipped away from the paris attacks, having survived, crossed the border back into belgium and found his way back to his old neighborhood of molenbeek. we've been in that neighborhood, obviously. we were here on friday just after the raid took place. it is walking distance from his family home. it's five blocks from the house he grew up in. but it also gives you an idea of this very tight community. molenbeek itself has been a hotbed of islamic extremism and a birthplace of jihadis for at least a decade. there are several international terrorist attacks that have led back to these streets of molenbeek. and as you said, if that is an attack at the train station at molenbeek, it just shows you that that is ground central for this fight that they're taking on. we spoke to french prosecutors and belgian prosecutors yesterday. i asked them directly, how bi

she understands why people in molenbeek are angry at the media. >> people who live in molenbeek are hugely affected. the community has become known on an international scale because people want to portray it as the hub for terrorism. reporter: the young people here, who she called the children of molenbeek, are hopeful. >> these are our children. their future is here. this is their country. we should open the doors for these young people so they can flourish, have a job, be well paid like everyone else. reporter: but as long as molenbeek is seen as a hotbed of terrorism, it will be difficult for people here to feel hopeful about the future. brent: you are watching "dw news ," live from berlin. still to come -- why is donald trump's campaign manager facing battery charges in florida? we tell you about that, plus the latest business news. we are back on the other side of a 62nd break. stay with us. -- 60-second break. stay with us. brent: welcome back. you are back with "dw news," live from berlin. the hijacking of an ejection and hair -- egyptian air plane has ended peacefully. the hijacker

the carnage that we saw in paris could have emanated from molenbeek.is not the hot bed of radicalism that it was portrayed of back in november. i would be curious to know what he looks now. we have seen those photographs from the initial wanted poster. has he changed his appearance? as he been able to move around? all of those questions will be answered when we get more information from the police. but the police and intelligence services will be very relieved they have managed to capture their most wanted suspect. >> and captured live. he seems to be -- from what we understand it's not a serious injury. >> we would certainly be available to be questioned if it's just a leg wound. whether he will cooperate with the police is another matter all together nflt he is perfectly entitled not to answer police questions. we'll see. >> paul brennan, thank you. for more on this, we're joined on the line by security analyst justin crump. i don't know how much you have been able to hear, but it really does seem that after four months of -- of the investigation goi

. >>> molenbeek. the neighborhood where salah abdeslam was arrested is called a hot bed for radicalization. clarissa ward went there to figure out why. >> reporter: on the streets here, though, it feels like a normal working class neighborhood with a large immigrant population, but the problems here are beneath the surface largely. the lack of integration here is striking. on the streets you will hear arabic much more than french. when you talk to people, you will often hear people say they don't feel fully belgian. they feel like second class citizens. molenbeek imam says younger second and third generation immigrants feel particularly marginaliz marginalized. >> there is a big community in muslim that are feeling now that they are not belgian citizen. the reason of that is first of all the unemployment belgians, they don't feel they're accepted in this society. >> i am joined here by a former adviser to the state department on combatting extremism online, spent time in molenbeek working with muslim

we wanted to know what's gone wrong in molenbeek and in belgium. >> i grew up here. i'm the third generation. this is our country. this is our home. >> reporter: but what about molenbeek? honeycombed with hideouts, it seems. just last week suspected paris attacker salah abdeslam captured a few yards away from where we sit. would ordinary people in this neighborhood take him in and hide him? >> terry, what question is that? you tell me like if we know if this abdeslam is somewhere we would just say, no problem, leave him, poor guy. terrorist, a [ bleep ] terrorist. even if he was my own son, own son, i would take him from his hair, if he has hair, and take him to the police. >> reporter: asan is a devout muslim and a belgian patriot but he says there is no trust between the communities here and that must change. >> it's why i'm very optimistic, honestly. it's time to live together. >> reporter: terrorism has many causes. but the havoc and wreckage it wreaks comes one victim, one family, at a time. in the hospital tonight, david muir asks sebastian bellin about his str

molenbeek was busy and open for busy. i don't know if that's because molenbeek is no longer the real focus of the police or simply because molenbeek having been raided since november is sort of used to it. >> do they feel the police are on their side? >> reporter: i think that's hard to say. what i would say in these kinds of neighborhoods where you have a lot of people from immigrant backgrou background, low incomes and high unemployment rate, often there is a rift between them and authority figures. it's common in cities across the world. >> what we keep hearing is the security services to get across to these communities to identify people before they've been radicalized. they don't have the intelligence coming out of them and how do they improve that. >> the belgian intelligence services have been saying that they are understaffed and i think it's about having people from those background and those areas on your team and on your staff. that's probably the best way to get integrated within the community. >> what sort of

the vast majority of mosques in molenbeek are store front mosques. store front mosque in and of itself is not necessarily bad unregulated and outside the scope of the rest of society there's some risks and not necessarily in the mosque itself. the nexus with criminality is huge. one individual in prison in belgium who was a key organizer in molenbeek. he continued to go out dean your criminal activity, just give me a portion of it so that we together can finance the foreign terrorist travel of those who want to go. and in another case reported recently by politico, a journalist was talking to officials in belgium who told him of an intercepted communication they had between belgians in molenbeek and belgians in syria and guys in syria wanted the previous bombers, how are the guys in the street referring to him. are they referring to him as a march tarks bum. the reason they explain they are asking these guys it's about street cred. it's about going from zero to hero. not actually about, you know, the highest levels of paradise. >> about the nato issu

you know, just more on that molenbeek metro station, it appears to be close to the eu -- close to eu headquarters or at least eu institutions, which may be part of the reason why it was targeted. of course, it is in also molenbeek, so that would be in sort of, as you mentioned, ground zero for a lot of this stuff. you mentioned that salah abdeslam was making his way to an area where there were more weapons or other weapons. do you have any idea what was being stored and just how many weapons were available? >> reporter: yeah, well, you know, we have to rewind the clock back to november. so they immediately start this international manhunt. and they thought he may have even gone to make his way back to -- not back to, i should stress, going to syria because, again, we have to underline that this is an isis-directed operation in paris. so as they started clearing out, and there were dozens of raids, many of the hundreds of houses in these areas are all around brussels, not just in molenbeek. it was on tuesday that they found -- they were going into a place that they didn't think anybod

authorities need to go further and build trust with muslim communities in places like molenbeek the place in brussels where salah abdeslam was hiding when the police arrested him last week. that's the view of not me but jack berger, with a new york firm that provides security. were these attacks likely retaliatory for the arrest of abdeslam, or were they something else that may have been in the works. >> certainly they were already in the works based on how prepared these individuals were to carry out these attacks. they had plans, they had the materials to carry out these bombings. we don't know whether they were in retaliation or revenge for the arrest of salah abdeslam or if they were afraid that they would give away their location to the authorities and foil their attempt to carry out the plots, so they wanted to get a jump on the authorities and carry out the bombings. >> why is belgium so central? >> we talk about sa lah abdeslam grew up in brussels, and just like in paris, you have certain amounts of disenfranchisement, high unemployment rate. very segregated. muslim communities th

today they surrounded him in his hometown of molenbeek. he was there before the paris attacks on november 13th. we understand he was shot in the leg during the operation to get him, but most importantly, liz, they've got europe's most-wanted man and he is alive. what can they get from him? how he is able to escape detection? there has been a lot of tension between french and belgian saying they're not understanding what's going on right under your nose. this certainly will help. how did he manage to go undetected? his fate was plastered everywhere. posters on walls, on television all the time it. is believed he had an extensive network of safe house. could this be a turning point for the investigators trying to figure out how does this work? how does isis and the jihadist coordinate so well? and it's almost like a military operation. not like a lone wolf situation. these are heavily armed, where do they get the guns and the ammunition? who knows who? the bigger the operation, the harder it is to keep it secret from authorities. they manage

that is what we're seeing in this district of molenbeek.slam was hidden by friends and family, despite biggest policeman hunt. he was able to hide out four four months. tells you about the police presence and their ability is to get into the area is quite scary. harris: benjamin, not particularly that it is hiding out. i'm curious how a 26-year-old man felt comfortable in a major city in europe to stay there, four months after which you say is one of the largest manhunts in the history of that continent. very clear just to know why we don't talk about it what it is and what is it exactly this area? reporter: based on people how spoke to out there there is such animosity between people that live there and police almost as a war. people in molenbeek praised actions of paris attackers a few days after it happened. there is really sense of disconnect. a sense they don't belong there. that the police and authorities are out to get them. so that feeds on itself. lives there, exists there. they would rather harbor terrorists than turn them into th

and obviously, this is a very emotional day in molenbeek. a quick break for us. breaking news coverage of this story will continue right after this. vo: across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar. but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® works differently than pills. and comes in a pen. victoza® is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. victoza® is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in 3 ways: in the stomach, the liver, and the pancreas. vo: victoza® is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take vict

this is indeed in molenbeek. to the raid because clearly after the raid it would be a heck of a lot more phrenic. i want to listen in. is so telling. we are off video coming in to us as we speak. when we get new material up we will bring it back. we had these reports earlier there was a fire fight. i don't know if this is prior to or afterwards but clearly clearing people out of the stairwell of the apartment. these two who they have in custody injured. what would be the reason they would be injureds because they were firing back? >> from what we understand they were heavily armed. they have had weapons and there was a lot of concern. after two of the suspected terrorists got away from the safe house, this terrorist den on tuesday. they could launch some kind of attack. >> you can see women being cleared out of this location. >> grave concern. if they have managed to neutralize a threat from that that is a huge achievement from the belgian counter terrorism. they have been cooperating with the french as they have

this is a drone flying over molenbeek. paul cruikshank, peter bergen, national security analyst, juliet and senior lawsuit analyst, tom fuentes. for viewers tuning in right now the capture alive of salah abdeslam potentially represents a major breakthrough if he talks. what are the rules in belgium if he decides? can he retain an attorney? does he have the right to remain silent? can he shut up and not remain cooperative or are there ways to force him to tell all? >> he will be able to remain silent. he doesn't have to cooperate. in past terrorism investigations in brussels, notably after a terrorist plot was thwarted in january, some of the suspects stayed completely silent, refused to cooperate at all with investigators providing a lot of frustration. and so he may decide if he's a true believer to shut his mouth and not say anything at all. but of course skilled interrogators have all kinds of techniques to use to try to get people to open up. after a while they may be bored and want to talk to somebody about what they

the investigation has largely focused on the brussels suburb of molenbeek. >> reporter: molenbeek hasained a certain reputation. poverty, unemployment, a young population. but it was no means inevitable that salah abdeslam and some of his friends would be tempted by a message of mass violence. there are more than 20 mosques and informal prayer rooms in molenbeek. but it doesn't provide many clues as to why young people are being radicalized. >> translator: the recruiters have known for a long time that they are not welcome in the mosques. if you say to someone i want your son to go to syria for jihad, everyone says go away. honestly mosques have nothing to do with this. >> reporter: these days young people are more likely to be approached away from the mosques. this woman runs a youth program at molenbeek townhall. she says young people are most vulnerable to isil messaging when they are in their early 20s and trying to find their way in life. >> translator: recruiters move under the radar, usually they are not from here, but they come into the area where young people hang out. they s

because a lot of the people in molenbeek, most people in molenbeek, are not jihadists. they are law abiding people. but clearly there is a problem there. and they're not able to wrap it up. primarily because even the chief of police told us, they don't even have a lot of arabic speakers on the police force. there are multiple police forces, some that speak flemish, some that speak french, some that speak german, and it's very difficult for those police agencies to coordinate. >> what -- >> you know, if you were strolling through the neighborhood you would feel like you are in a european neighborhood. no different than any other. it's not when we think of it, it's not, people say oh, there are people that are not doing as well as other parts of europe -- >> i've heard it described as a poor neighborhood. >> not the way you might see in some cities in the united states. but there are -- it's an immigrant community, for sure. and just like because of the that are from other countries, they feel disaffected and disenfranchised, these young people. >> i noted there are at le

but it is remarkable, molenbeek is not a big city. and for a cell like this to be able to survive all this time when the best of the belgian police and law enforcement >> based on your experience, richard, we know the president in cuba right now wrappingp his trip to havana. what will be hahpening right now inside the white house and national security apparatus in the wake of this attack? >> so, the homeland security adviser will have convened a meetinin probably that meet something by video conferencece connecting the headquarters at cia at the national counterterrorism center, at t e fbi and other agencies so there will be an going meeting that will last all morning. while they "a," try to find out what's going on and "b"o figure out how to help and "c," is there anything we need to do in our country, martha mentioned the vulnerability of landside portions of the airport. landon side is the term for everything before security, so you know when you drive up to the airport you get out of the kiosk, all that area is a very, veryulnerab

i don't think this will come from molenbeek. the security was all over molenbeek. i have a feeling this was planned and much more sophisticated to be at the airport and at the e.u. train stations. ma molenbeek, they would take guns and start shooting. this is a much more coordinated as a hallmark. >> howard gutman with us from belgium. he's trying to get out of belgium to a degree after the series of attacks at the metro station and airport. and i imagine, as you leave, people looking to leave. also authorities, i would hope, are looking to find out any surviving attackers. some of them seem to have had suicide vests, so they're dead. the ones that didn't, the planners, the plotters that took us months to find after france, do you sense that there's a security coordination that would put those lights on red? and maybe start screening people at tunnels? >> yeah, but i suspect this right now isn't looking for people. this is fundamental security. so i don't think this is the law enforcement response. those are guys in suits who normally would accompany the u.s. ambas

now, one of those was said to be in the molenbeek area. it's important to note that, because that is the area where, on friday, salah abdeslam who was the alleged mastermind of the paris terror attacks of november was arrested. just four days ago, on friday, the alleged mastermind of those paris attacks. so the question is now, was this some sort of retribution for his arrest. or perhaps were there about police station accomplices of his already in brussels, perhaps for something else, with weapons in their possession to carry out something else who then felt box of their locations their identities or locations might have been compromised that they decided to carry out some attack prior to what they had been planning. let me give you details. we've got several conflicts reports, but at the moment, we can don firm that one person has been killed in that airport bombing. there were reports earlier of the injured being carried out on streppers to awaiting ambulances. some people said that some of the injured were carries on luggage carts out

he was caught during a raid in the belgium suburb of molenbeek, an area plagued with terror cells and radicalization. he is injured, but again, captured alive. the suspected driver of the car that dropped off three suicide bomber, at that french soccer stadium november last year, the night of those coordinated terror attacks throughout the city and one of the suicide bombers outside the cafes was, in fact, his brother. he did detonate that suicide vest and kill himself. immediately after the effect, sala abdeslam fled. help was even questioned by police, passed through checkpoints at the border, police didn't realize who he was and let him pass through. ever since then, he's been on the run, for four months, evading law enforcement. finally this week officers raided a different apartment in brussels. they did find abdeslam's dna, sparking this intense hunt to track him down. the news he had stayed so close to the scene of this alleged crime shocking many in the terror community, who believed he would likely have fled perhaps all the way to syria. so we have you covered on every single

what evidence brought investigators to molenbeek? >> well, the first clue really that came on tuesday, when police carry out what they thought was going to be a routine search of an apartment and instead opened the door to gunfire. and as one man fired on them, two others fled, possibly three, and it is believed one of them may have been an an, they no, an slam, they are not entirely sure but they know they came upon something entirely unsuspected. that led them to the fightout in molenbeek, the same neighborhood of brussels where abdeslam was raised, during the four month investigation can you tell us a little bit about the coordination between the belgian and french authorities? >> well, the two states have been coordinating very closely, and there were actually french police on the team that raided the apartment on tuesday. >> do we know any details about abdeslam's role in the original attacks? >> his role has been something of a mystery. what he do know is just announced today by the paris prosecutor who said that abdeslam has t

when he left paris authorities believed they escaped to molenbeek. one of his older brothers, salah abdeslam, still lives in molen fwoek this day and he was very outspoken to the media telling the media he condemned his involvement, tried to say his brother was misguided by his participation with these individuals, the neighborhood itself a fairly tough neighborhood. not very welcoming to outside strangers, plaedly foreign media that descended upon molenbeek during those few days. at the time we spoke to descendents of north african migrants expressing their grievances if you will with living in that district, the population nearly 30% to 40% muslim posing challenges for the officials and trying to assimilate within the larger belgian society. it's been the subject of several raids in the past several months. so a lot of questions as to how salah abdeslam managed to return to molenbeek if, in fact, he was at some point away from that district over the course of the past four months. it does give you a sense of the kind of network or at least the supp

the negative stereotypes that many people have about molenbeek are part of the problem. you are a young person who just finished school and maybe got good grades but then an employer sees the word molenbeek on your cv and that is the end of your chances. but here is one local man who decided to go against that trend and opened an organic cafe with a difference offering salami and other meats to his muslim and non-muslim clientele. >> translator: because i'm from molenbeek a priority is to help people work their way out of poverty and get ahead and improve their lives. >> reporter: it's an alternative vision to the one pushed by i.s.i.l. recruiters, the idea that you can be a full european citizen while still being proud of your own culture and heritage. jackie roland, al jazeera, molenbeek. >>> columbo is a security consultant about and former police officer in nassau county new york and is from orlando and thanks for being with us and how do you police a city with molenbeek with different cultures and languages without turning it into a police state and breeding for mor

the metro was leaving molenbeek station.ring all of the metro stations are shut down in brussels. of course the airport is shut down as well. all planes that had been heading toward the brussels airport are being diverted. again, a number of casualties that we know of so far. >> and as you're taking a look at this video people milling around the tarmac there obviously a lot of people have been there, they're six hours ahead of us getting trod get their day started trying to get on their flights in and out of brussels now being led back away from those planes. and again, we know one person hurt, several more reports of people having blood on their face, reports of injuries. still waiting to find out what's going on with that. two days ago they arrest edsall la abdeslam there in the molenbeek neighborhood and there had been questions about whether or not there would be any connected events. >> that's right. he was a prime suspect in the paris attacks. he was just arrested in brussels just two days ago. and so we have been tell

scott thuman reported from molenbeek last december. people warned more trouble was ahead.cott: before the smoke from the fatal blasts in belgium had even cleared the questions were adding up fast. brussels had been under an international microscope for months, if not longer, so how did it happen? we were in the capital last time the country was under a level four alert and while soldiers seemed on virtually every street corner, they were impossible to find here in molenbeek, a diverse suburb with a dangerous dynamic -- home to the mastermind of the paris attacks and where fellow suspect salah abdesalam was captured last week. the madrid train bombings and belgian jewish museum shooting. johan leman, an activist and professor there, was sounding the alarm well before now. do you think they've been ignored, those warnings? prof. leman: of course, this has become very clear. i think our approach of the phenomenon is too bureaucratic. scott: and his predictions that the belgians aren't doing enough, just three months ago, seem eerily prophetic. prof. leman: for two weeks, ther

we're going to talk to the mayor of that district, the molenbeek district. and laws against waterboarding are all wrong, donald trump says. >> i would say that the eggheads that came up with this international law should turn on their television and watch cnn right now. we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression. and everywhere i look... i'm reminded to stick to my plan. including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula that the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd... after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. for a limited time, great deal on this passat. wow, it looks really good... volkswagen believes safety is very important... so all eleven models come standard with an intelligent crash response system... hmm. ...seven stability-enhancing systems... hmmm... ...and equipment for two child seats. hmmm... for those who take safety seriously. like we do. the volkswagen safety in num

he's abdel hamid aboud, from molenbeek, and the suspected ringleader of the paris attacks.-year-old uber driver was there that night. his first response was to help shuttle people out of the area of the attacks. but after things settled down and the identity of the attackers became known, he said another reaction. >> reporter: all of the known gunmen turned out to be european citizens. and in many ways they share the same profile he does. young muslims who are born in europe, the sons of immigrants. prime targets for isis recruitment. he insists most people here are thinking more about putting food on the table than jihad. still, high unemployment, poverty, and marginalization here makes it fertile for radicalization. the message is often spread through slick online videos. but also face-to-face. sometimes starting as simple conversations. >> why do you think it works with some people and not with other in this why didn't it work with you? you're saying it works on some people because if you're more isolated, if you don't really have a job, they're easy prey, and they easil

i don't have any intelligence or any information but i know the molenbeek community. i can see families in some of the radicalized families you know, pulling off one incident but if we're talking about coordinated attacks at the airport and through the subway system, if i were pure speculation, but it would be in the aftermath of what was otherwise a local event, something bigger has now come to belgium. if this is a coordinated and it's too early to know but if this is coordinated between the airport and throughout the subway systems that's bigger than molenbeek. these are not the radicalized kids who used to drink and stopped drinking, they spent a couple of months, got there and came back. >> the radicalized kids we believe were responsible for the coordinated attacks that happened in paris, and this would be similar to that. >> no, this would be much broader in scope. if this is at the airport and through the subway system, all timed to go together, this has got to be bigger than molenbeek plus the belgian security had molenbeek pretty well blanketed looking to ca

you mentioned that molenbeek area. we have taked about it a lot on "outnumbered." a u.k.-based expert on radicalization is saying we're breeding a generation of kids who are estranged from their own societies. we know abdeslam spent time in medical lien beak already as a young -- molenbeek as a young man and child. he would have a network and probably a knowledge how things work better than anybody else living outside of that area, better than we can ever guess what the response would be securitywise. we have a network that could keep eyes and ears for him, i would imagine, not to hard to hide out for four months. i put hideout in quotes. reporter: yeah i would put hideout in close quotes too, harris. brussels is being hit, rich in targets like the european union. nato is headquartered here. there is a lot of american presence here. american corporations are head quarted here. brussels is being hit according to many experts, belgian law enforcement authorities are weak. this is divided country. there are two languages here. there is a third government in brussels. because
