maybe she was held in raqqa. we've seen a lot of other western hostages held in and around raqqa. far from clear whether she was in the building that was allegedly destroyed earlier today. >> to your point kim dozier often times families ask for proof of life. we know that was given some time ago. we don't know what's happened behind the scenes since then. ultimately the way to prove it would be a proof of death video or photograph. >> some sort of picture of the woman now passed away. even then there would be a doubt as to did she die at isis hand? one of the other things isis has learned through rekrenltcent rescue attempts is they were reportedly moving the hostages around freely. they didn't want to keep a whole bunch of people with them. they did keep people nearby just in case to fight back any attempted rescuers. so it's two things. yes, she could have been held in a building by herself as a safety measure. you think will there would be isis fighters nearby and casualties because of this. >> and also why raqqa? if this is isis strong hold, the world knows that. that would b

isis is claiming the female hostage died in a jordanian air strike near raqqa.ng the woman in all of our reporting today, that's at the family's request. here's marie harf at the state department. >> i cannot confirm those reports in any way. people are looking into them but can not confirm them. >> today jordan launched a second round of strikes on isis in retaliation for the murder of their pilot. a military offense named in honor of that man. thousands were on the streets and led by queen ran ya holding pictures of their fallen pilot. joining me on the phone, evan kohlmann, i want to start with you and what we know about this claim

why not more air strikes over raqqa? >> raqqa is as you said before their kind of staging base their capital, per se. kobani because an emotional aspect for the kurds for the coalition up there. what isis was doing, they were pushing their combat power towards kobani. so they're taking them out in the open. if the enemy or isis daesh is going to do that and push fighters towards kobani that becomes a natural place we want to call them kobani and not sit around raqqa. it comes back to targeting. there's nothing to target in raqqa other than maybe a building or command control center. out want to g where the fighters are. during that time it was kobani. >> a last question to you, buck because i hear this all the time. this has to be an arab-led fight for a win against isis. are we seeing the beginnings of that with jordan really getting into the fray now? >> we would like to hope so. it hasn't been an arab let fight so far. the air strikes are 80% u.s. and there are other allies that have been pitching in. the uae at least

it's like two different lives in the city of raqqa. it's happened some of these foreign fighters because they give them a lot of money, they give them the fantasy houses and cars. >> i know you're young. i know that at one point you had begun medical school and here you live in the city where i imagine the fear is how do you feel when you wake? >> every morning i wake i want this to be a nightmare. i lost my life i lost four years of my life. i don't have school. i don't have future. i don't have anything. but i didn't want that for me or for my city. it's the situation forcing me to do this. i don't want to be famous. i don't want anybody to know who i am or what i'm doing rngs just for my city, my family and for my civilians that they cannot say no to isis. we are trying our best. we are trying to save our city. it's our city. everyone loves our city. when i wake every day in the morning, i just feel okay when this all of this will end. >> again, thanks for speaking with me. i hope to stay in contact with him. it is so important we s

>> there is a lot of executions in the city of raqqa. in the last two months 40 people got executed in raqqa city and the country side of the city and different charges. some of them they charged with homosexuals and some of them are charging are killing some people. so if anyone the isis will know he is against them. if you're an activist they will take you to death. so they executed a lot of people. they make crucifixions and it was very bad. >> so they're not discriminatory discriminatory. you talk about how isis is short both because of the war on blood and they're short on money. can you first talk to me about the money and how they're getting money, isis is getting money through keeping stores open during prayer and accepting fines instead of punishing people? >> yeah. when the coalition started in the city of raqqa because isis depends on the oil and oil refineries and when the coalition destroyed the oil refineries they started to have a new strategy for money. for example, extra for the, there's taxes on the people of raqqa. the

isis is claiming the female hostage died in a jordanian air strike near raqqa. we're not identifying the woman in all of our reporting today, that's at the family's request. here's marie harf at the state department. >> i cannot confirm those reports in any way. people are looking into them but can not confirm them. >> today jordan launched a second round of strikes on isis in retaliation for the murder of their pilot. a military offense named in honor of that man. thousands were on the streets and led by queen ran ya holding pictures of their fallen pilot. joining me on the phone, evan kohlmann, i want to start with you and what we know about this claim that the american hostage was killed in an air strike. >> it appears to come out of an isis media unit or isis linked media unit in raqqa. the claim itself is fairly short. it simply says as a result of continuous air strikes by jordanian aircraft outside of the city of raqqa that an american female hostage was killed. the message does include pii information, her name her address, in the united states and her e

. >>> jordan's airstrikes focused mainly on raqqa, syria. that's where they've set up its de facto capitol. raqqa is being slaughtered silently posted these pictures. the group claims they show the aftermath of the coalition airstrikes. oddly, isis has just released some more propaganda showing women sewing burkas and head gashes gash garbs being handed out to children. children. nick paton walsh showed us what the isis strong hold of raqqa is really like. it's interesting how jordan is showing the world it's bombing raqqa. it put this on youtube. let's dig deeper with cnn global affairs analyst lieutenant colonel james reese. welcome, sir. >> good morning. >> have you watched these youtube videos? they're sort of like reality tv shows. >> i have. it's what they have now is counter propaganda to isis and the arab world is trying to move this along. we've been talking about it for months and they're able to take the gun videos from the f-16s and put them into production. it works out for them. >> here's a couple of things that we found intere

just a claim that one person in particular who was held at a site in raqqa has been killed. and the isis militants claiming that is the american hostage. let me read a translation of the isis report for you if i may. the failed jordanian aircraft killed an american female hostage. the criminal crusader coalition aircraft bombarded a site outside of the city of raqqa today at noon while the people were performing the friday prayer. it goes on to name which we will not the female american hostage they claim was killed. i want to bring back barbara starr. is there new reporting? >> reporter: no, i want to underscore something you were talking about. happening during friday prayer time, a number of people around. these are all sort of things that on initial glance really don't quite add up. one person getting killed? that's all isis is saying at the moment. i think also not only emotional terror to this woman's family but a bit of emotional terror attempt, if you will, to the obama administration. it has been well known for many months that there is an american woman who is bein

isis claims in an online posting that the female hostage was killed by a jordanian air strike in raqqa, syria, that's an isis stronghold. again, isis offered no evidence of the death of the woman believed to be an american aid worker. isis posted pictures of a collapsed building where it says the woman was being held. we're seeing it here for the first time. is this an attempt to strike back at jordan for avenging one of the deaths of its fighter pilots. is this an attempt to weaken or splinter the u.s.-led coalition? that's what the joint interior minister is telling cnn. quote, this is another p.r. stunt by isis they tried to cause problems internally in jordan and haven't succeeded, they are now trying to drive a wedge between the coalition with this latest low p.r. stunt. cnn's jomana karadsheh is joining us from amman, jordan, with more on the reaction to this claim. let's repeat this is a claim by isis with no confirmation no evidence that a jordanian air strike over raqqa in syria, that's an isis stronghold, wound up killing this young american woman aid worker. what else are th

the organizations targeted raqqa, the strong hold isis caliphate.how hard it is to find and free hostages. let me bring in theis navy seal who says he killed osama bin laden. i know you drilled and drilled. if you were to rescue this this fighter pilot, how do you prepare for that? >> thanks for having me. it's one of the things men and women involve ed from the intelligence aspect to boots on the ground and the hostage rescue team. they're prepared and ready as far as tactics go. pilots are ready to fly them in ready for routes. the issue we have is lack of coalition boots on the ground. we're not exactly sure where they are. we don't know if hostages have been moved or ever been there, what's going to happen when we fly in who's going to be there when we get there, are we going to be able to get out? it's lack of intelligence on the ground make i it more difficult. it will be easier to get done when we have coalition boots there. >> when you flew into pakistan were you aware you would be fired on? >> yeah. obviously that's one of the situations in

isis claims mueller was killed when a jordanian air strike hit this building on the outskirts of raqqa, the group's stronghold in northeastern syria. we cannot verify that mueller is dead. the extremists enforce strict islamic law in raqqa where they've carried out scores of public executions and where they held three other u.s. hostages all of whom were beheaded last year. a u.s. military official told us the building hit was a weapons storage facility, carefully vetted before the strike, and not known to house any hostages. but, scott, he also acknowledged that kayla mueller could have been moved there before the air strike. >> pelley: and if this is true then mueller would have been the last known american hostage in the hands of isis. holly williams reporting for us from northern iraq. holly, thanks. jordan stepped up its air strikes against isis after the terrorists put out a video earlier this week showing them burning alive a captured jordanian pilot. charlie d'agata is in amman. >> reporter: for the second day in a row, jordanian fighter jets pounded isis targets on the outskir

we're digging deeper into jordan's air strikes on isis's self-proclaimed capital of raqqa. we are -- phil if you take a look jordan right now needs to show images and we're about to get images i'm told on of what these latest air strikes are accomplishing. the people of jordan clearly seeking revenge right now. the execution of these two convicted terrorists that's not enough. >> revenge is only half the story here. we went through the arab spring which didn't turn out that well in countries like libya and egypt. we have jordan a country, with a king that sits on a rested population. he has got to get off that airplane and say, we are moving immediately. within 36 hours, you get the hangings and get operations in syria. whether or not they are extremely effective, they are great photos that will show the population that the king is all over this. >> you believe, maybe you do or don't, bob bear you believe that's what's happened over the past two or three days represents a potential turning point in the overall war against isis? >> no wolf i don't think it's a turning point.

in raqqa syria, i interviewed him outside of syria.touch with these group of people for months i wanted to talk to them about the work they do. >> they risk their lives on a daily basis trying to track down isis and their movements. what did they find out? >> they find out that they are this group of people called isis are trying to change everything they know in their city, basically they are turning it into a very religious town they controlled the way women dress, the way guys are dressed, i mean they force them to grow beards, they are enforcing islamic laws on children they dictate what children are taught in schools, they basically control a city and change everything they are familiar with and made their own rules. >> this is isis extremists doing this to other muslims who are living in this country. let's take a listen to this. >> abu abrahim says isis is everywhere in raqqa. >> so this is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, right. >> yeah, absolutely, they me, these activists know if they are caught by isis fighters t

that's part of it, that you are under the rule of isis and raqqa. you are citizens of this islamic state. and thus, you have to almost agree with us on what we do. >> there's a question about whether this is strategic or this is not strategic, right? there are some that view this as trying to recruit, they want to intimidate their enemies, the degree to which it's useful for them to be feared by the people they might encounter on the battlefields. there are others who think this is part of, like andrew was just saying, part of their dna. they can't help themselves but kind of enjoy this. what is your feeling? >> you know, i think, look, isis always has a message in every video it puts out. they spend days, sometimes weeks producing this high-quality material in order to make a specific point or a few points. in this sense, besides the message to the locals, which i don't think was the primary message, i think the primary message was to show the world that they're trying to bring jordan to its knees, for its part taking in this u.s.-led coalition. in

iraq and the levant said the 26-year-old aid worker was buried under rubble in an aid conducted on raqqa. she was captured when she was working with doctors without borders. >> case where officials both here in a.m.man and in u.s., is that i.s.i.l. is trying to change the campaign. they don't know whether this woman is still alive or not and they are doing allot of work to try to determine if that is indeed the case. one of the factors they knew they would have to contend with once the air war started against i.s.i.l. back in august was the idea of trying to have as broad a coalition including is members of the arab community involved in the fight against i.s.i.l. certainly has been one of the leading participants in air strikes inside syria. none of the air strikes carried out by jordan or by four other arab nations have been taking place i should say inside iraq where i.s.i.l. also has a notable foothold. but it has made it a lot easier in a tragic way. because the u.s. doesn't have to worry so much now about being accused of trying to carry out some sort ever a military campaign again

there's only one main highway from mosul, frankly, to raqqa.hat off, anything that's moving on that, neil you destroy it. >> got you. >> and then you isolate mosul itself and then let the iraqi ground forces with air come in and take it over. and that way -- it's got to be a very aggressive campaign, not seven sorties a day. it's got to be 200 up to 400. >> thank you for your time and your service, general. >>> from enemies to suddenly frenemies, russia, russia is leading the surge to cut off isis. is this a smart move? thinking to myself, j.d., wait a minute, russia's not been hit by isis. seems like everyone else has. >> right. >> so is that the fox giving details on the hen now or what? >> neil, great to see you. this is a brilliant move on russia's part because russia has been attacked by chechen militants for decades -- >> but not isis -- or maybe they have, the offshoots of isis. >> there's a lot of chechens that are part of isis. so they worry when they go back to russia, they'll attack moscow. this is smart by russia to go after isis di

but i think raqqa should be leveled. everybody in there done. >> and the poor kurds are getting light weapons. what are they doing with light weapons? they can't do anything. >> president obama had a prayer breakfast today, right? >> yes. >> and he cited there were christian atrocityies and crusades and things like that. we'll have an extensive report on that tomorrow. i wanted your feeling on it. >> i found it patently offensive. here we have as you said children being buried alive. the most brutal acts against humanity being carried out today. not 500 years ago. >> right. >> and he needs to know a little bit of history. we don't have time to go into it why the crusades happened, excessive, absolutely. it was a defensive move to stop the muslims -- he leaves that fact out. but this is what obama does. he won't just say this is evil, barbaric and we're going to stop it. >> but why bring it up anyway? >> because america has a lot to do penance for. we have a lot of sins to atone for. slavery and jim crow. >> i think it wa

as david shipman now reports from raqqa, they received injections from an unlicensed doctor suspectedhis syringes. >> reporter: i'm in cambodia in the village of raqqa, which is in the grip of a health crisis because more than 200 people here have been infected with hiv. they'd all been given injections by a local unlicensed medic, suspected of reusing syringes and needles. so the question is is there any way to avoid this kind of thing from happening again? well, with me is mark koska, who's come up with a design for a better kind of syringe. talk us through the comparison of a normal syringe and your one. this is a normal syringe, made in billions around the world, but because of the design, you can use it as many times -- >> it's easy to refill. >> exactly. and you can't sterilize them. >> there's no way of doing that in a guaranteed way? >> no. so this is an auto-disable syringe, which after use locks, and then breaks -- >> that click is the break? >> exactly. so it can never be reused again. >> now, this idea seems blindingly obvious, but you've been pushing for this for, what, 3

isis says the jordanian air strike hit this building in raqqa in northern syria and that the aid worker from prescott, arizona, buried beneath. jordan has launched a number of air strikes against isis in its stronghold of raqqa after the group released a video that shows militants burning to death a captured jordanian pilot but isis offered no further proof that mueller is dead and also said no militants were killed in the bombing. jordan says the claim is propaganda. the u.s. defense department said saturday that the target was a known weapons storage compound and that there's no indication hostages were held there. mueller is the only known american hostage still being held by isis. >> i am in solidarity with the syrian people. >> reporter: she came to syria to help in the humanitarian crisis. she was taken hostage in 2013. >> one of those folks that looks for the good in everything. >> reporter: mueller's parents say they are hopeful she is still alive. meanwhile, the attacks against isis continued. coalition aircraft conducted 11 air strikes in syria and 15 in iraq friday and saturd

claiming this happened in syria in the jordanian air strike on the isis strong hold on the city of raqqa. all of this is aftermath of the rubble where the woman was buried. let me be crystal clear here. there's zero proof of this and huge dose of skepticism. jordan saying this from the interior minister. >> they tried to cause problems and haven't succeeded. they are now trying to drive a wedge between the coalition with the latest low pr stunt. >> i cannot confirm those reports in any way. obviously people are looking into them but cannot confirm them. >> do you know if the woman in question is alive still? >> we're not going to get into specifics about americans being held overseas for privacy of them their families. obviously as you can imagine, these are sensitive situations. we're not going to get into those details. >> is it your understanding that the islamic state was holding an american woman without identifying whom? >> we have said there are a number of americans being held overseas including by the islamic state. i'm not going to get into further details than that. >> let's k

. >> reporter: isis propaganda videos attempt to show normal life in raqqa but now more and more peoplee posting their own pictures to counter isis' claims. these pictures of what appears to be aid from the world food program and red crescent papered over with an isis flag and delivered by isis fighters. we spoke to the syrian online activist who posted this video. he runs a network of a dozen activists inside the strongholds and he's asked not to be identified but for this better view we call him rafike. what kind of punishment is this? >> unfortunately it would be death. >> reporter: it's small movements working with mobile phones and sporadic internet access and syrians say they are living under isis rule are posting pictures with hashtag scribbled on paper to prove they are there witnessing events with their own eyes those there's no way for cnn to independently confirm this. isis has been hit by hundreds of air strikes. activists say these pictures suggest they may be taking a toll especially in the isis strong hold of raqqa. >> it is a warning coming from isis to all vehicle drive

and cutoff a key supply line between raqqa and syria and mosul in iraq.ere seems to be a grounds swell now of things happening which means that we are about to see according to iraq officials a take on mosul to retake the city within weeks they say so we are seeing the ground being prepared for an invasion and also we heard in the last few days general john allen one of the key u.s. military generals saying the taking of some something like mosul or a city from this would be a boost to peshmerga forces and iraqi and peshmerga forces would need coalition help on the ground so that is a significant change in language as well. so it looks and feels like we are seeing a significant move towards the retaking of mosul city in the next few weeks at least. >> the battle for mosul is often portrayed as being the battle for iraq to regain iraqi territory and effectively kickoff i.s.i.l. >> that's right, mosul is one of the key cities and one of the first cities taken over by i.s.i.l. in june when they pushed into iraq but it's not the only one. there are a number o

but it's not anywhere near raqqa. so, it has been reported today that american aide worker kayla mueller was killed by air strikes while being held by isis militants. that may be true. it may not be true. even the claim is obviously of grave concern. it must be a very very harrowing time for her family. anyone who is taking isis's explanation of what happened here as truth, as the journal istic truth, they are doing their propaganda work for them. it is like posting a isis propaganda video online for everyone to see, you have just done their work for them. some they have earned the right to be known as liars. joining me is andrea mitchell, great to see you, thank you for being here. you reported tonight on nightly news it was a shaky claim at best when isis said today that she was killed. why is it a shaky claim? >> for many of the reasons you cited. i'm so clad they yo were appropriately skeptical. first of all it is too convenient. right after the rallying, in a previously divided country about the wisdom of these c

so why isn't the, quote global coalition attacking raqqa?ely the jordanian army could attack it, so could the turks. u.s. could also launch operations against raqqa but there is no will to do it. the world will continue to watch barbaric atrocities unfold on a regular basis. isis still holding an american and other innocent people. the american people deserve to know the truth about president obama's campaign to defeat the jihad. and the truth is, there is no campaign. what we have are selected targets that we hit with drones and bombers. in iraq, the bombing has been what a factor in stopping the isis advance but not in driving them out of that country. almost every military person knows that only ground force also get isis out of their entrenched positions. again we are talking under 40,000 of these savages and you are telling me the world can't wipe them out when they are sitting over there in the syrian desert and in towns in iraq? you are telling me the world can't defeat these people? sold a bull. america and the rest of the world lack

they say he was wounded in air strikes in raqqa. they say they have no information to confirm that claim about whether or not he was hit today. of course there has been previous reports that he was wounded or killed. reports that turned out to be false. still though, a girl can dream. here is a significant new wrinkle in this story. this u.s. led military campaign against isis has focused exclusively on syria and iraq. but today we learned that this war is apparently not contained to just syria and iraq. american military personnel launched about attack today in afghanistan. last month the washington post ran this story, meet the shadowy figure recruiting for the islamic state in afghanistan. he landed back in southern afghanistan, and he has been recruiting for isis. and that is weird, right? isis is in iraq and syria. afghanistan is not even contiguous with those countries, it's a long distance away. but the "washington post" said that they were trying to make a go of it for isis in afghanistan. that report came out last month. ja

they say it was in the syrian city of raqqa. jordan, today, says yeah, they have launched more than 50 combat operations in syria since last week, but they say they have launched none near raqqa. it remains a mistery whether this worker was killed like they say she was. they say they have reached out to isis to try to confirm that. they're seeking a private communication from isis to kayla mueller's family. this is remarkable reporting tonight from andrea mitchell. >> they're waiting for their captors to also their last appeal. a fate that the family refuses to believe. >> the family right now is in a very fragile state as you can imagine. they're worried. >> her parent's desperate plea to the terrorists. you told us you treated her as your guest. we ask you who are holding kayla to contact us privately, but they event. >> this time we ask you who are holding kayla to contact us privately. while kayla mueller's family and all of us await further word about her fate, we're getting new details about the u.s. mission that was attem
