thank you both, peter bergen, colonel set rick leighton in washington. appreciate your insights.colleague, wolf blitzer, is live at the united nations. he takes over now. >>> hello, i'm wolf blitzer reporting from the united states. we're here in new york this week. i'd like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. u.s. and arab warplanes unleash air strikes on isis targets in syria. the u.s. takes direct aim at another terror group. officials say it was actively plotting an attack on the united states homeland. listen to what president obama said about the group just before heading here to the united nations general assembly. >> last night we also took strikes to disrupt plotting against the united states

i want to bring in peter bergen to discuss this.ing with us, he is our national security analyst and covered this very closely. ed president talking about the the three isis poses and go after them. hear more about the plan wednesday when he addresses the nation, in your op ed, you say two thirds of those surveyed in the recent pew poll thought isis is the major threat to this country. you question if it really is. why? >> eyes is is a highly unpleasant organization and together with the al qaeda affiliate that is fighting syria and iraq, control more territory than other group us in this history, they have brutal tactics. does that mean a threat to the united states? a dozen americans gone to join isis, a dozen too many. more many a one-way ticket exseen two americans who died, americans going of over don't have battlefield experience, a very dangerous war. seen an american from florida commit suicide on behalf of an al qaeda affiliate. seen americans go to somalia, at least 30. many never came back if they did, they were arrest $i

with me now, cnn national security analyst, peter bergen and military analyst, retired lieutenant colonel rick francona. peter, let me start with you. the man beheaded by isis this weekend was a british citizen. talk to us a little bit about how deeply this pushes the uk into this fight. >> well, i think prime minister david cameron understands some things that are pretty disturbing. first of all, the british guy who beheaded both the two american journalists and the british aid worker, is somebody who's known to the british intelligence services. his identity is known. he's part of a group sometimes referred to as the beetles, the names their captives gave them and one of 500 brits who have gone to syria to fight. not all of them are fighting with isis, bullet if you kit if the numbers of americans who have gone, we're looking at 100. the population of britain is a fifth the size of the united states. in fact, you have 25 -- if you look at the rate of which brits are going, 25 times the rate americans are going to syria. and it's impossible to detract 500 people when and if they return t

. >> let's talk more about this with cnn's national security analyst peter bergen. welcome, peter. >> good morning, carol. >> peter, this is, i don't know how to characterize this. it's such a strange act of terror, behead a citizen and drape the body with the black flag of isis. why this method of terror and not something bigger? >> well, i mean it's possible that there isn't a huge support network for isis in australia. the british government assesses there are 100 facilitators facilitating the 60 people that the prime minister tony abbott identified as being fighting in syria, but you know, obviously there would be a huge shock value. you recall the attack on the british soldier in london who is sort of randomly selected but of course he was an off-duty soldier, and the horror that surrounded that attack. obviously it would be, i mean there would be great coverage of this in the sense that it would be widely disseminated and it would be a way of, for these isis supporters in australia to protest what they know is the fact that australian government is going to be

peter bergen, what do you make of this? do you see any legitimacy to this idea of a terror plot? >> the dimension by which the iraqi prime minister vowed to an attack in france seems more plausible. we've had 700 french citizens travel to syria and largest cohort of any western country and we've seen a french citizen conduct a terror attack, a veteran of the syrian conflict and he was affiliated with isis. that dementia of it is more plausible. i think we have all poured cold water on the american dimension but that doesn't alleviate the idea that there's a threat to france here. >> in terms of iraq's capabilities or intelligence capabilities to know what isis is planning, do you have much confidence in that given the nature of their security forces? what are their intelligence forces like? >> i mean, i don't. it's a very puzzling claim since at least one part of it is being shot down by everybody involved and the other part we just don't know. >> all right. we have also heard the fbi may have identified the masked killer in the james foley video. >> that's right. they're going t

peter bergen is the director of the international security program at new america. he is a cnn national security analyst and as many of us now, peter is bit more best-selling books about al qaeda than anyone else. thank you for being here today, peter. mary habeck is immediately to peter's left. she is a lecture and strategic study at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. thank you for being here as well. and then here is that the islamic world project at the brookings institution. i would like to begin with you. one will look at the overnight strikes, was specifically caught my attention was the degree to which we have information about a specific group within the area. for a layperson, what is the correspondent group and how does that reflect the current predicate the u.s. domestically and also western targets overseas. >> thank you, kathryn for the invitation to write this report. i want to acknowledge my co-authors in the audience, emily schneider, david cahill for your question. so the group i think u.s. intelligence groups have been tracki

c-span: peter l. bergen, author of "holy war, inc.: inside the secret world of osama bin laden," you say on page 31, 'further clouding our understanding of bin laden is the fact that a vast amount has been written about him, a good deal of it rubbish.' >> guest: well, i think you know when rubbish is rubbish, how you call a spade a spade a spade. and, you know, i mean, there have been a lot of reports that bin laden was womanizing and sort of drinking when he was a teen-ager in beirut. it's very hard to disprove to you know, it's it's it's very hard to disprove something that didn't happen, but, you know, as far as i can tell, he was a sort of very religious teen-ager. there were reports that somehow, bin laden was funded or trained by the cia. these are all sorts of commonsense tests, apart from anything else. you know, if you were the cia case officer who ran bin laden, most of those people would be of retirement age now you've got a $20 million book contract right there. i mean, you know, when conspiracie

the other reason, peter bergen told me, cnn security analyst, that isis in iraq and syria has squeezed al qaeda out of the picture, so if many ways this could be seen as a desperate attempt on al qaeda's part to be relevant. and that's why they're looking at southeast asia. >> and intelligence useful for the government because it can respond while this is being established. how do you think india will respond? >> reporter: the government is taking this very seriously, but i should add, in india's many, many muslim, cnn reported recently that indian muslim groups have been recruited to fight against isis in iraq and syria. so it's hard to describe india's muslims. and al qaeda is going to struggle in many ways to try and make huge inroads into india. that said, the government will take this very seriously. i do want to point out, though, if you look at terrorism in south asia, most terrorist attacks tend to be maoist. they are not going to unduly panic. >> thank you very much indeed. >>> just ahead on the sidelines of the nato summit, our nick robertson will speak to david cameron. we'l

peter bergen, immediately to my left, is the director of the security program in america. he is a cnn analysis -- analyst. about written more books al qaeda than anyone else. thank you for being here. from the johns hopkins school of international studies. thank you for being here as well. and our guest from the islamic world project with the brookings institution. peter, i would like to begin with you. when we look at the overnight strikes, what caught my attention was the degree to which we had information about a in syria.roup for a layperson, what is it and how does it affect western targets overseas? >> thank you, catherine, thank you for the invitation to write this report. i just want to acknowledge my co-authors in the audience before i answer your question. u.s. officials have been tracking a group of guys with long rolodexes for over a year. been in the tribal areas of pakistan into syria. they are an older generation. we mentioned them in this report. we had to finish this up sometime ago because the publication's schedule. it is an ancient word for the area tha

i think the confusion comes in when terrorism experts like peter bergen write that isis really isn'treat to the u.s. homeland. it's a direct threat to the people of the middle east, but not to americans directly. so do you agree with that, first of all? i'll start there. >> right. i think the consensus from our reporting inside the intelligence community is isis doesn't pose a direct threat to the u.s. right now, but they could and soon. i think when we're talking about how we view the war on terror 13 years after 9/11 to the day, there's a genuine disagreement. the president said last night that we're safer than we were there. senior intelligence officials including dia director mike flynn said no, we're not safer than we were 13 years ago. there's no consensus even inside obama's own administration as to whether or not what we've been doing over 13 years is working. it definitely doesn't seem to be working for the people of iraq and syria. are we in a pre-9/11 moment? it's impossible to know. the bottom line is this campaign of islamic extremism is expanding, not in pakistan but in

lieutenant general mark hurtling and security analyst peter bergen.british officials, including the prime minister, they know the identity of the individual, the british accented individual with the knife in all three videos. they believe it's the same person. >> they know the identity but are not disclosing his name publicly for what they call operational reasons. what those operational reasons are, i don't know. but it could be gathering more information about him in england in a way that's less dramatic. two, if they real kly are -- a rescue operation is something they must be contemplating, not wanting to tip their hands they know who this person is. >> but if they already know that the british know the identity, i don't understand what the difference is if they know the name is out there, opposed to knowing the british government has learned the identity of this individual. >> i'm just telling you what i know, they're withholding the name for operational reasons. >> does that make sense to you, general? >> yes, it does. >> explain why. peter has

peter bergen addressed it this weekend. >> i think we need to have perspective about the level of threat the united states which i think is low. countries like france, britain, belgium, that's certainly higher. >> so ron, isis is are threat to americans overseas but not maybe directly here at home. why this rhetoric from senator graham? >> i think we have a serious threat here at home carol. when you have americans traveling a broad on passports, eu citizens traveling over there and returning to europe, returning to america. you say to yourself, it could be anybody. for me being a lawyer, here's my perspective on this. we need to figure out what we're getting into and how we're getting out. what exactly is our strategy? what is the president's vision? how does he intend to win and get out of this? >> i totally, completely agree. with rhetoric like they're coming to kill us now, with americans growing increasely aware, should we have the conversation about exactly what we should do? >> the worst possible situation. terrorism is one bad day away from being an issue in america. this is a co

at least two unidentified americans that we know of, according to cnn national security analyst peter bergen, and there are others from two other countries, two italian women as well as a dane and japanese national are said to be among the group's newest captives. also, some 20 journalist sz as missing in syria. >>> as the militant group makes gains across syria and iraq, tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee. turkey says more than 60 thousand syrian kurds have crossed into turkish territory this friday. as video shows you, they're carrying everything they can on their backs. isis has captured dozens of villages in northern syria over the past few days. for more on this desperate refugee situation, cnn's anna coran is joining us from irbile. we saw ten seconds of video there. just one snippet of the people getting out pulling and carrying everything. holding all of their children. it's unreal what they've been going through. anything to get away from isis, anna. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, natalie. absolutely heartbreaking images that we are seeing. u.n. is telling us tha

it is offered by terror expert peter bergen.hile we wait for the president, this morning we spoke with jay solomon of "the wall street journal" as he talked about the push forinistration's an anti-isis resolution in the u.n.. day. it is a busy the president will be headed to the general assembly. what can we expect from him on the topic? >> he is --guest: he is given a and sharing a special session of the un security council, looking at the flow of foreign fighters to support the islamic state. i think you will hear the president building on this idea of a united coalition against the islamic state, that this is not just a u.s. war. this is a threat to the entire region and europe, and that is why you have seen secretary of state john kerry and others put such a focus on building arab participation in the airstrikes which started in syria. saw three nations take part in the military action. three nations were involved in the airstrike. i think this is a diplomatic coup or victory for the white house because there was fear that i

"washington journal" is live morning

joining me to talk about this threat is cnn's national security analyst peter bergen. i think it's the first time i've heard this strategy. we will doll out the goods in dribs and drabs. little bits of equipment first and when you prove yourself on the battlefield the big guns start coming afterwards. does that make sense to you? >> it does, but there's one i think, ashleigh, potential flaw which is, you know, some of these moderate groups have not been particularly good at fighting compared to isis and they may lose in a battle and their equipment may be taken by isis. i mean every time you put more arms into a conflict zone, there remains the possibility that isis can capture them and we saw, you know, when they took much of northern iraq, that they seized tanks and armored personnel carriers and the like with relative ease from the iraqi army. how you prevent against that, i don't know. >> and the secretary just actually listed out the kinds of things they would be prepared to start supplying. small arms, vehicles, basic equipment like communications, as well as tac

thank you both, peter bergen, colonel set rick leighton in washington. appreciate your insights. thank you for watching. my colleague, wolf blitzer, is live at the united nations. he takes over now. >>> hello, i'm wolf blitzer reporting from the united states. we're here in new york this week. i'd like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. u.s. and arab warplanes unleash air strikes on isis targets in syria. the u.s. takes direct aim at another terror group. officials say it was actively plotting an attack on the united states homeland. listen to what president obama said about the group just before heading here to the united nations general assembly. >> last night we also took strikes to disrupt plotting against the united states and our allies by seasoned al qaeda operatives known as the khorasan group. it must be clear to anyone who would plot against america and try to do americans harm that we will not tolerate safe havens for terrorists who threaten our people. >> the latest developments on the air strikes in syria and iraq, the air strikes in sy

. >> cnn national security analyst peter bergen says british officials have told him prime minister cameron knows this man's identity. but a british official tells me they won't reveal it publicly. the official says it's for security and operational reasons. >> they're running operations right now not only to try to figure out where he is but others who are working with him. they may be working with his family to try to lure him back home. >> could there be a rescue mission for allen henning? britain's foreign secretary has tried to downplay that possibility, telling reporters about henning, quote, we don't know where he is. erin? >> daniel benjamin served during president obama's first term. steven hadley served under president george w. bush and serves on raytheon. steven, the beheading videos, very have moved the american public, almost every american is aware of them and perhaps because of that the public supports military action in iraq. is the u.s. in danger of going to war over the videos? >> i don't think so. i think this issue has been brewing for a long time. for three years some

british officials tell our national security analyst peter bergen that britain knows this man's identity. why not release his name if the british government knows who he is? >> well, there are a number of very good reasons for that, jake. fundamentally, they're probably drawing still on a number of intelligence assets around the suspect to try and determine his whereabouts. much like many of these types of operations, the key thing will be to ideally locate and also recover this individual and confirm this before actually revealing their identity. they will be somewhat guarded and probably will be until they have that further evidence. >> he's suspected to be a british citizen. if he is one -- we don't know for sure -- what kind of jurisdictional barriers would that create between the u.s. and britain? who would be responsible, theoretically, for capturing or killing him? would the uk object to the united states killing him? >> well, i think it will be a collaborative attempt. certainly we know there are representations of special forces from a number of different nations, not only inclu

our cnn senator security correspondent peter bergen said the beheadings of westerners, they're reallyf the end because it makes isis look to brutal that people are so turned off from this. >> look, we think that sunni farmers in iraq in syria, they really care about james foley, or steven sotloff, or david haines? no. they don't give a damn about them. if they're going to give a damn about people being beheaded, it will be their neighbors, the yezidis, shiites, christians beheaded by the groups. that did not alien that those people from isis. fear and opportunism that isis exploits in that area. pronouncements from london, pronouncements from washington about the morality or immorality of isis are not going to take us very far. >> what about the direct threats from isis to the u.s.? do we know if there are any? >> look, isis' game is to inspire terrorism, not just to carry it out and direct it. already when prime minister cameron spoke, he was talking about a particular incident in brussels where you had a guy who was with isis, he was a frenchman who was with isis who with a jailer o

joining us is peter bergen and robin wright of the woodrow wilson center here in washington.o? it sounds like a north american accent. what are they trying to do with 55-minute propaganda video like this? >> they succeeded in showing it on cnn. let's start there. with wide distribution around the world. it's important to note there are only a dozen americans who have joined isis, two of whom are already dead, both of them african-american. but they're not going to be the last. this video was intended to recruit others. >> we knoll there's been these one isis plot foiled in australia, some isis sympathizer clearly arrested in rochester. are we going to see more of these individuals, plots if you will, inspired by these kinds of isis videos. >> now that the united states has crossed that threshold and entered the war against isis, it's clear that the united states territory, the united states personnel everywhere in the world, are indeed vulnerable. it wouldn't surprise me if we saw a different kind of terrorism, something small, brutal, to do something in public, to behead som

. >> our analyst peter bergen calls the isis videos dynamic and the videos from al qaeda core boringat does he mean? we're going to show you. look at this isis video next to the latest al qaeda core video. the al qaeda video is on the left. that announcing operations on the indian subcontinent. it opens with an image of bin laden, then a map, then 15 minutes of ayman al zawahiri giving a speech on camera compared to the isis video on the right and the production and the visuality of it. that's 40 minutes of a speech after ayman al zawahiri with a simple graphic over it. the lowest of low tech production values in that al qaeda video, wolf, compared to that isis video, it seems like the world of media might have passed al qaeda core by. >> ayman al zawahiri very boring looking into the camera, the isis video looking like the opening of "homeland," many of us watch that show. isis has been so effective with this media dpcampaign, the u.s. government is responding to it. >> the state department has produced a counternarrative. a new video. we can show you a clip. it sarcastically tells

our guest has been peter l. bergen. thank you very much. >> guest: thank you, sir. >> so some of the technology they have in place now as you have just pointed out the mannequins have moved from just cameras in the eye to recording devices planted in the heads of the mannequin and justify the cited reason for that is because the stores want to know shoppers discussions to hear what they say about some of the products that they display in their stores in that way they can gauge what are the bestsellers, what things need to be moved off the shelves to make room for something else. the big problem with this of course is most shoppers don't know when we walk in the store it's not like the signs say this dummy is recording you. you don't know that and that's a little bit creepy i think. that's something in a science-fiction movie. it's interesting but it when it's happening to in real life it's a little bit alarming. >> it is and i don't remember walking into a store and having them hand me a disclosure statement saying by t
