iconic sense that osama bin laden was such a leader. al zawahiri is a much less figure -- a much more diminished figure than osama bin laden. it is important obviously the u.s. government made these unprecedented steps to shut down these embassies because the new head of al qaeda and the arabian peninsula is actually a protege of zawahiri. i think we have to keep our eye on the ball here and it's al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and proliferation of the al qaeda cells. in iraq, 3,000 people killed since april. a lot of that related to al qaeda, syria and north africa. >> that's just where i was going to go. no, no, it's very important. general clark, i want to go there. we can talk about a saudi arabia peninsula and al qaeda there but you've got this diffusion, people say being this is the new al qaeda and it's diffusion, it's not centralized anymore. here's the united states giving weapons to libyan rebels, to syrian rebels, as peter said also to iraqis. those weapons are all over the place and there's no telling who has them and there

is exactly what osama bin laden was trying to bring about. he did not he believed -- believe he could destroy buildings in order to do real damage. what he thought is we could turn on each other.

secret documents are giving us new information on what happened after the death of osama bin laden. was instantlythe documents say an american military laboratory in afghanistan analyzed the confirming his identity. the tests were done soon after he was killed by a the washington post reports that these details come from classified information bin laden was killed at his pakistan hideout in may 2011. millions of americans are getting set to hit the road for the last long weekend of summer. if you're traveling for company at the airport and on the highway, but decent prices at the gas pumps. welcome back was that what you're the immediately for the church weather and traffic. >>erica: as we take a look at the san francisco city streets so far so good for 19th avenue and park presidio print they did accommodate a lot of extra traffic starting off at the golden gate bridge. we have to talk about public transit. full details on that and how to get around in our next report. >>james: back to the construction work being done at that news man. --new stand--new span. continues. kron4's will

the point is, osama bin laden -- one document is interesting, written the week before he was killed. bin laden talks about -- he was reiterating, saying the world is going our way. he saw a lot of hope of people attacking their way across the arab spring world. that has been discounted wrongly numerous times by american analysts. >> is it wrong to say -- there was a discussion of the muslim brotherhood issuing violence. that suggests they find violence repugnant. as opposed to strategically, they do not see it as useful. has there been that confusion in the intelligence community? because you are not participating in violence today, it means you have renounced it as principal? >> they renounced violence inside egypt after getting their heads kicked in. they did not renounce violence through hamas, which is a movement the brotherhood spawned tom a with a suicide bombing campaign in the 1990's. we see violence against american soldiers. you can go through a whole list. there are brotherhood figures in yemen, for example. there are big supporters of al qaeda. a leader in sudan was a big

rather receiving end of the drone strikes these are people that level these are people that want osama bin laden to with you know in the terms of lindsey graham and all these other people they have every reason to be against al qaeda but we're giving them every reason to say well enemy of my enemy is my friend and you know blowback is i think inevitable you can't conduct these kinds of wars around the world killing innocent people in the pursuit of a few bad guys and pretend that it's not going to come back to hurt you i can't tell you the number of people that i've met abbie when i've gone to afghanistan or yemen or somalia who said you know we had a positive view of the united states but then when this night raid happened they killed my wife or this drone strike happened that way out forty six people in this village i decided that i'm against you i had one guy in afghanistan whose family were not even pashto in their fighting against the taliban one of them was a senior police commander after a night raid he said i want to put on a suicide vest and blow myself up among the americans i want jih

killed osama bin laden i mean that's what they wanted to do hillary clinton the wake of that also said this happens regularly you know which is kind of your point who are these other people that are the targets of these raids and also just the fact that we assassinated the most wanted terrorist in the world for a decade i mean we go in and assassinate him and any intel i mean it's just amazing i never really understood why people were so excited about clinton it got they they claim to have taken huge duffle bags of stuff out and then the west point military academy translated all of these documents that they said that they found and some of them are are online but i mean there's a lot of questions that are unresolved about what went on in that house that night what we actually gain from it one outcome of this of course the global war on terror is these forgotten prisoners and. then sitting there having greater now on a hunger strike and of course the rhetoric we hear is we can't trust the many government to take the prisoners so why does the u.s. government trust the yemeni government

yes, we did take out osama bin laden. and as soon as the next chief pops up we take him out in the central node of al qaeda. it's still dangerous. and it can transform itself. you've got people who spend their lives plotting how to hurt americans. so until every one of those people is eliminated or they change their motivations, we've got a continuing issue. i think what the president was trying to say was the central nervous system of the old al qaeda has been broken and broken down and decapitated with getting rid of osama bin laden. and that's a good thing, but it's not the end of it. >> thanks to each of you. >>> as many of you know, we have devoted much of our program over the past year to the benghazi attacks and their afteras a matter of fact. please join us on tuesday night at 10:00 eastern, the truth about benghazi. we're going to go back to that fateful night. and we're going to be speaking to the families of those who lost their lives. that is tuesday night at 10:00 and 7:00. 7:00 pacific, 10:00 eastern. >>> st

the commander in chief was not in the situation room the entire time during the raid to kill osama bin laden says the president reportedly played cards to distract himself from the day-long ordeal but former counterterrorism adviser michael leiter who is now an aichblt for nbc news, says mr. obama was present during the time of the actual raid. prince william speaking out on the new royal baby saying prince george is, quote, pretty loud and, of course, extremely good looking. like the parents, right? >>> one artist found some hume nordetroit's bankruptcy claims. he put for sale signs throughout the motor city on street polls, sculptures, public buildings and other places. the city took his work down. even put price tags on it. but he hopes he was able to make people smile during such a difficult time. maybe here making fun of also what they are trying to do. they are looking at, what, 60,000 pieces of art in the city in terms of what they are worth. it's a tough time for detroit. >>> time for a look ahead and a look back. the 67th little league world series starts today. >> i'll watch. >> bi

because of you, osama bin laden is no more. [applause] because of you, al qaeda's top ranks have been hammered. the core of al qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan is on the way to defeat. >> president obama with the marines this week. osama bin laden is gone, but his number two man is still around, and so is his personal assistant, who has planned an attack on american targets, leading to the closing of 19 embassies and the state department has ordered nonessential staff to leave the u.s. consulate and issued a travel warning. colby, the game is not over. >> the game is not over and it raises questions about the information that led to the decision and how we got it. it goes back to the mega-data that has been gathered. does it suggest there is value in what they have done? the activity that we have been reading about -- there is fruit from it that allows them to take the action they have taken? the threat has not gone away. >> how about this -- we do not want another benghazi? is that the message? >> it is clear part of the moti

in 2001, he was osama bin laden's personal secretary. the u.s. had been tracking his chatter, but in recent days, one official said, "a lot started blinking red." so now, look at the map, u.s. embassies shut across 7,000 miles. right in the middle, egypt. here in cairo, this is as close as you can get to the embassy. which is a good five-minute walk behind these concrete bricks and behind these bricks, two egyptian military armored personnel carriers just in case. >> a new travel alert warns americans all over the world. that means 27-year-old ashley brandenburg is taking small precautions. >> for me i don't go near the embassy. i don't go downtown, i avoid any protests or demonstrations. i keep to myself and stay within my neighborhood. >> reporter: and back home, authorities are also taking pre cautions. they say there's no specific threat, but they admit an air of mystery worldwide. homeland security officials increasing immigration checks and boosting security on public transit and airports. ant tonight security officials on cairo are on high

>> it is indisputable the elimination of osama bin laden was a major accomplishment in the effort against al qaeda. we have been clear and the president has been clear that the threat from al qaeda very much remains. >> reporter: republicans know al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is its deadliest affiliate of all. >> al qaeda is in many ways stronger than 9/11, because it mutated and spread and come at us different directions. >> reporter: tense times in the mid east, where the u.s. is having talks in egypt with a jailed senior leader of muslim brotherhood, amid fears the government is losing control of key cities. >> that will allow the sinai to become as you said wild west of terrorism where groups like al qaeda and hamas can coordinate and plot attacks. >> reporter: as the egyptian government deals with major problems in big cities like cairo, problems elsewhere, one of many reasons john mccain and lindsey graham are in egypt in consultation with president obama, trying to push them for quick return to civilian rule. bret? >> more on this with the panel. ed henry on the north lawn, tha

is disconcerting because if you look at the sensitive side the exploitation when we took down osama bin laden, what you will , you see a correspondence and dialogue between osama bin laden and lt.. this represents 1.0. basically communicating to the tenets, to not attend the low- level attacks. focus on doing what i did. basically folks that we need to get points on the board, show the world we're still around. there was a heated debate between the older generation and younger generation. now that he is gone, this communication that just happened represents a significant shift. this is more or less conceding the younger generation is right it will go ahead and use al qaeda as one of the primary operational arms, and basically rewarding them for the more low- level attacks like that were bomber and potentially the attempted assassination of the minister of interior and saudi arabia. for you aware of them at a dead duck operation? -- were you aware of the metadata operation? guest: i was not. ♪ caller: my comment is everyone is mad about the tsa, but i love them. yes, it is an inconvenience but

the anniversary of the attack, and then when we killed osama bin laden. >> think of how rare that is. september 11, specific threat. the anniversary. if you killed bin laden, you would expect something. this is pretty and usual. -- pretty unusual. >> but embassies are closed quietly and have been for the past couple of days. this is just politics. to convince the american public that they are on top of things. -- quiterently, frankly, it has had a painful effect for our allies. we have time for a couple of questions. i think there is a microphone. i'm supposed to ask you to make your way to the microphone. we will take a question or two. >> is the mic working? can anyone hear me? great. >> we will hear you. >> i will test it again. let me elevate my voice. that is better. there was an article in "national review" a few weeks hadby a commentator who done an economic analysis of these issues, which ihought was interesting. a different perspective. that thevation was cost of a life saved -- these are the terms in which defense analysts sometimes think -- is about $20 million per life sav

this will now drive them to couriers, which were what led us to osama bin laden but were very hard to find and they're very hard to find discrete information from unless you compromise the courier. so this is a different situation. our intelligence experts will have to respond to it. but i wondered a little bit about all of the open talk here. >> you know the embassy security situation. we have a number of consulates and embassies that are not well defended. they are remaining closed. baghdad and kabul which were virtually fortresses have been reopened. but you can't put enough marines and you can't build enough walls to make these embassies safe. >> nor can you stay home in the compound for all time and still do your job effectively. everyone of these reps a degradation of our capacity and that's important. the ability to protect and take risks is in fact what the benghazi report is all about and it is not one way or the other. hopefully in fact the judgment is good. it seems to me good. the notion of closing for a week, while it is perhaps a little bit unusual, is not so terrible. w

bin laden is dead. al-qaeda has been weakened. osama bin laden is no more. the run and bin laden is dead. but thanks to the incredible service of our men and women in uniform, al-qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is no more. we decimated al-qaeda's core leadership and brought osama bin laden the justice he deserves. al-qaeda has been decimated. osama bin laden is dead. >> steve: fast forward to today, think about this, it is extraordinary, during the run up to the election, that was the president where he was talking about al-qaeda is on the run. it's been decimated. talk about a double standard. think back to the time when george w. bush was there on the deck of that aircraft carrier and behind him was the big sign that said mission accomplished. right? the outrage from the main stream media was amazing. they pretty much wanted him impeached for having the audacity to say something like that and he didn't even say it. it was printed behind him. now you fast forward to the president of the united states in the last campaign talking about how it's been d

to you i would never glorify saddam hussein on any law and you recall that it was that it was osama bin laden who organized a group of saudis after he reports this or that out of iraq to invade iraq from saudi arabia the king of saudi arabia had had osama bin laden arrested at the iraqi border because osama bin laden was coming in to attack the reality also this that's . their only hope that there were four other countries that backed up our intelligence this was not random intelligence they were not blatant lies that was a lot of evidence that shows intelligence was wrong the israelis told us there was always a lot of evidence as the intelligence was down how to fairly straightforward the enemy of my enemy is my friend osama was an enemy of the us the us it was and then we have. sold only. because israel is a guy who loves a deal is going to ride it and the great advantage of all this is that in the end it turns out that now sadam is dead iraqis reason. i'm making a step forward and what is more you're wrong about the nature of the war going into iraq if you listen to what osama said he said

i do know that osama bin laden was in a different neighboring country. after evaluation of options, president clinton did elect to send a cruise missile into sudan which did take care of the facility where it was believed to be hold up. he was not aware there. i'm not aware of that particular cable from the yemeni government. host: comment on our twitter page -- guest: a great point jim is making. basically, you are right. in many ways it is. t has now been revealed we were listening in on the communications between the eader of the team. what that unfortunately showed is it's revealed that most likely we had their cell phone or email communications that enabled us to do that. the revelation of that, not only the method but the specific individuals talking means we have now burned that source. you could imagine how tough it is to get the direct communication of the top leaders of your adversary and in our world of the c.i.a., that would be the gold mine. anyone that close to getting that close to the top leadership would be commended and is a gold mine.

special operations forces in 2011 found osama bin laden and killed him. at was a huge blow to the organization. that, years leading up to a lot of analysts believe that bin laden was out of touch. they figured he did not play a day-to-day role. the organization has devolved into affiliates. one of the stories i remember writing after the raid -- bin laden played an important role in terms of managing this organization with these various affiliates, inspiring affiliates. we are sort of in the same situation now. there is no doubt about it. al qaeda has lost a lot of senior leaders in pakistan. a very lethal drone war. however, they have adapted. has shown an ability to manage and delegate. in that respect, we shut down these embassies and the threat alert has been significant. i think that shows that while there have been victories, at least the threat of al qaeda is far from over at this point. you, tom.go to i am sure i do not need to ask you questions. but this concept of the core and the periphery. there was the idea that al qaeda was defeated, was dead

apparently osama bin laden was killed around 3 p.m. washington, d.c. time. sident came out late that night, somewhere around 10 or 11 to say to the american public osama bin laden had been killed. now his former personal assistant is saying in an interview that later on at night the president was doing something that some people might be surprised at. >> typically like the weekends he'll work like a half day. and this sunday, i mean we worked -- i mean, we were there until almost, i think he went on tv at midnight, almost midnight, and sat around in the private dining room kind of like -- most people were in the situation room and he was like i'm not going to be down there. i can't watch this entire thing. he, myself, the white house photographer, we must have played 15 games of spades. >>brian: some people say -- he said during the entire thing. some said he was killed at 3 and then there was a long process, four hours until they identified the body. maybe that was the time. however, he said during the entire thing, makes you think he was playing cards. so h

just a year ago boasting al qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is dead.retchen: what's missing today in that discussion? an election. that was the campaign rhetoric back then. and how do you feel about that now in the sense that al qaeda in many respects could be bigger and much worse than it was ten years ago today. here's president obama during the campaign. >> i said we'd refocus on the people who actually attacked us on 9/11, and today al qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is dead. >>steve: exactly. it was very catchy, a bumper sticker, but now fast forward, al qaeda on the run? we're on the run over there. >>tucker: you wonder if they're drawing the right lesson from benghazi. it seems to me the real lesson is don't lie and don't stage a cover up. don't staeupbl your policy based -- don't stage your policy based on the last war. >>steve: the thing about benghazi, it was in the midst of a campaign. it was two months until big vote. they wanted to make sure everybody felt everything was a. okay. things were not a-okay over there and today is exhib

. >> al qaeda is on the path to defeat and osama bin laden is dead. >> reporter: and months into thed term. >> al qaeda is a shell of its former self. >> reporter: in light of benghazi and the terror alert, graham says far from it. >> after benghazi, the al qaeda types are on steroids thinking we are weaking and they are stronger. >> is it fair to say al qaeda is on the path of defeat? >> most people who cover these issues understand that al qaeda core is the afghanistan/pack stain base. there's no question the al qaeda core has been greatly diminished. we have made clear over the past several years aqap, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is a concern. >> reporter: al qaeda core is evolving. the man leading aqap is believed to be al qaeda's number two in command. >> i think what we have seen particularly since the death of osama bin laden is a metamorphosis of sorts within al qaeda. >> reporter: the question is whether the new al qaeda has the capacity to pull off a 9/11 style attack. the closing of embassies, some that are like bunkers a reminder the terror network can still make an

plus, what else president obama did the night of the osama bin laden raid.he grapevine is coming up next. getting your vegetables every day? when i can. [ bop ] [ male announcer ] could've had a v8. two full servings of vegetables for only 50 delicious calories. >>> some fresh picks from the political grapevine. two years ago, seal team 6 moved into the compound where osama bin laden was hiding. president obama was playing cards. despite the pictures released by the white house of the president and his team in the situation room, former obama body man, reggie love, says the president turned to distraction to make it through tense hours. >> sat around in the private dining room kind of like -- most people were in the situation room. i'm not -- i can't be down there, i can't watch this entire thing. he, myself, and the white house photographer, marvin, we made -- must have played 15 hands, 15 games of spades. >> that was part of an interview love did last month at ucla, hosted by the artists and athletes alliance. the group had posted it online but has since r

people would know osama bin laden originated out of saudi arabia base.se there would be activists and terrorists that would come out of that area but there has been active training in yemen and saudi side of the border for a long time just like the afghanistan-pakistan border. so the flow is troubling. we would like to believe the kingdom of saudi arabia would be an active partner in identifying and stopping that just as much as the government of yemen wants to. >> heather: so the u.s. navy adding to the planes to the hundreds of millions of dollars of aid we've given yemen. is that the best to stop al-qaeda there? >> i think we have a series of bad options. we have series of weak institutions in countries of concern. in many of them we have to deal with the military as the most available non-sectarian force for influence in these countries. so for security and politics in some ways, dealing with the military is important. our u.s. strategy tends to emphasize intelligence and attacking from a distance which makes sense when war enter vehicles is not popu

obama and his administration love to brag about the killing of osama bin laden but they're not willingacknowledge that osama bin laden is a product of the muslim brotherhood. president obama went to egypt in 2009 right at the beginning of his presidency to talk about religious tolerance and how we all need to live together and egypt was the gateway to the muslim world for a better relationship and now that christian churches are burning he's not standing up for christianity in the way that he should be. >> let me show you something. i should have thought of this earlier. this is from "the blaze" today. this is john kerry today. that's john kerry. he's kite boarding. do you ever go kite boarding? i don't even know what that is. there is our secretary of state. he's kite boarding and president of the united states is out there swinging a golf club every two seconds. >> don't forget in this day, the president can sign a law in boston. he can sign an executive order in california. he can sign a law -- so when he brings with him an entire apparatus when he travels. >> egypt is burning and s

osama bin laden -- it is close to saudi arabia, there are funding sources from private citizens. >> yemen is on high alert. security has been tightened. multiple checkpoints have been set up and tanks are guarding key installations. the yemeni army has surrounded foreign buildings as well as the airport. the strategic interest to the red sea is also being closely monitored. as muslims celebrate the end of the month of ramen on -- ramadan, the yemeni government says they have foiled a plot by al qaeda. >> the interior ministry has implemented many security plans for safety and stability in yemen. to protect our citizens and the foreigners living here. the united states says it will remain cautious and keep 19 of the 22 diplomatic post closed at least until the end of the week. >> the use of drones is one way the u.s. military has approached unmanned combat. >> they look like something from a science-fiction movie movie, but they are very real. some fear these robots could become the drones of the future. he looks like a soldier, moves like a soldier, and marches like a soldier. underneath

the terror plot is called, very active, led by osama bin laden's former personal secretary. u.s. embassies in the middle east shut their doors today and a travel alert is in effect for americans traveling abroad. devin dwyer has more. >> u.s. ben biases today looked like siege behinds across the middle east. in yemen, american troops ring the compound, patting down passersby. from western africa to bangladesh, a 7,000-mile security belt was pulled tight. leaving 22 u.s. embassies and consulates dark and empty. >> there's a significant threat stream, and we're reacting to it. >> u.s. intelligence has intercepted al qaeda communications about an attack on strategic significant american interests but the exact target remains unclear. >> we received information that high-level people from al qaeda in the arabian peninsula are talking about a major attack. >> one official told abc news the part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty. one major worry, explosives placed inside suicide bombers. we're concerned about century include imp

osama bin laden had an indictment i think in '98 and the sudanese offered him to the u.s. we said no. he ended up in afghanistan because we didn't have enough evidence to actually pursue a case. when you do the law enforcement model, you are completely handicapd trying to deal with terrorism, and that's why it is always been the wrong one. >>> next up, the exodus intensifies from u.s. diplomatic facilities in the middle east and north africa. can save by sharing. like carpools... polly wants to know if we can pick her up. yeah, we can make room. yeah.

this is more complicated, much more so than going after osama bin laden. and justifiably so carry out these spectacular successful operations. in the case of algeria there was one device. we're talking about a nuclear arsenal of about 100 devices and different places plus weapons productions facilities in this really gets complicated. the notion we will be operating is also nonsense in it. so these are long shots desperate at the end. if they are that desperate at the end, that brings back a powerful argument for nonproliferation efforts. if you can't solve the problem that might occur, you probably want to do everything you can to prevent people from going down the path. but what's interesting is that sometimes i think we exaggerate the threat of nuclear terrorism and make claims that some of the states will readily provide nuclear weapons to terrorists. which i think is less likely. i just cannot see this as a likely scenario. but it's used as an argument against proliferation. because they will give it to terrorists and they have looked at the history o

how is it different than it was when osama bin laden was alive? >> bin laden believed in centralization. he believed in a centralized organize station. that didn't work. al qaeda didn't work because the united states went into afghanistan and bombed all the camps to dust. what ended up happening is there were other operatives from al qaeda who realized it is better to have affiliates and different groups in different countries with their own leadership, media wings and coordinate at the top level. even if al qaeda disappears in one country or another, it persists in particular areas that it has a longstanding presence. places like yemen. >> when you look at the number of organizations you see those. yet yemen issued a statement saying the evacuation serves the interests of the ex treemists. they use it as a re kruting tool. we have talked about inspire magazine which they use to inspire people to jihad. they always have said that when the united states takes an action to keep its citizens safe it's a victory for them. >> they had an entire edition
