abu abutt s the anbar province. that was about eight miles from the airport. so the worry is that isis will somehow try to either take over the airport or disable it. make it so it's simply too dangerous to take off from baghdad and that would be a huge symbolic achievement for them to cut that airport off from the rest of the world. but keep in mind, of course, wolf, that the united states has soldiers at the airport. it has apache helicopters there. american advisers are working with the iraqi army. there's no immediate danger from the outside but the inside is where you see an immediate threat. this evening we've had three bombings in baghdad, at least 17 people dead. this is something we see almost every night between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. and it happens almost every night. so this is what really concerns the security forces here in baghdad, is not necessarily the possibility, the vague possibility of an attack, a frontal attack by isis. but this constant sort of drum of bombs going off in the city, just trying to disrupt people and undermine confidence in the iraqi government. wolf? >> speaking of the iraqi government, ar

or disabling of baghdad airport would be a symbolic blow to the government here. it is worth keeping in mind it is about eight miles from the airport to the area called abu ghraib. the army and police control by day, but isis operating there by night. the worry is that will be used as a foothold for some sort of hostile action against the airport. until now, by and large, most of the action against the defenses of baghdad have been sporadic and light compared to the operations of isis elsewhere in anbar province where in town after town, they managed to take more and more ground. yesterday, they were able to kill an ied bombing the chief of police for entire anbar province. that was a serious blow for any attempts to bolster the control of baghdad and remaining 20% of anbar that's not in isis hands. >> ben wedeman in baghdad. thank you, ben. >>> six minutes past the hour. hillary clinton heckled during a speech sunday night in san francisco. she was addressing the meeting of the american academy of pete pediatrics when she was interrupted by a man carrying a bullhorn. listen. >> millions of our children are at risk. you know, there are some people who miss impor
