we had just been in beirut for the attack in the hezbollah district, in the southern portion of downtown beirut where dozens of people were killed. more than 200 injured. isil quickly taking responsibility for that. we wer there covering that. this happened and we rushed here to paris. unfortunately it seems like a wave that is continuing to grow. maureen: scott, what do you expect in the next few days in paris as far as tracking down the suspects who are still at large? scott: yeah, this is remarkable, maureen, to walk down the street, drive doing the street and the amount of police presence you see. people searching bags. armed military on every corner of the major stretches here in paris. they want it to be known that people can rest to some degree easy. but we were talking earlier tonight, president hollande is asking for a three-month state of emergency. he says this is war. this is an act of war. declaration of such. so it is easy for to us say here is a big store, focus on it for weeks and something else happen and you move on. the city won't move on readily from this. it will be

we have seen what happens in lebanon and in southern beirut. it is not just europe, we obviously have to be quite vigilant. with georger washington university center on cyber and homeland security. my question is given the concert , the the restaurant private sector, many organizations over the recent years have increased their awareness they have in the security role. you see more vice presidents of security. do you foresee movement toward more cooperation with the private sector and though security components within the private sector that can play a role in this kind of fight? >> certainly in this definition there has to be that partnership. what we need to do as a country, we need to find that type of relationship with the private sector built on mutual confidence and trust in terms of what the respective roles and responsibilities are. there is reluctance on the part of many to share information with some of the internal operations and penetrations of their systems because of concerns it could affect their stock prices. i think we need to

responsibility, we should say that this week already, there was a horrific terrorist attack in beirut, in the southernrea of just south of beirut where 43 people were killed in a mass bombing. isis did claim credit for that, but given the framework of this, what can we begin to piece together? >> well, and this comes after the attack. there's been a series of events. in the middle of them, that's what the united states has done. the united states has helped launch or aid the iraqis and a couple of different moves. we heard off of sangent mountain to cut off isis fighters. the strike against jihadi john, the executioner of the american hostages. some move in romadi as well. i think this is something that seems like it was coordinated. it was planned. it's a big operation. this is nothing knee jerk. but coming on the heels of all this activity, this is -- i feel like we're in a new chapter, at least, of this war on this terrorism, this war against isis. >> in terms of precedent here, kevin, we have not seen -- isis has carried out massively destructive terrorist attacks in the region, and in fact, have

the two attacks killed 43 people in the southern suburb of beirut. one hit a shia community center and the other a near by bakery. the area is associated with the grouped hezbollah which has sent hundreds of groups into syria. i.s.i.l. has claim responsibility for the blasts. the bodies of dozens of yazidi people have been found in northern iraq in graves. it was discovered after sinjar was taken back. the grave could be one of many. >> reporter: after the peshmerga advanced swiftly into sinjar, evidence of i.s.i.l.'s brutality comes to light. a peshmerga soldier places items that investigators say were found on this site. they include bones, hair and personal items. this is a person who says members of his family and relatives are buried here. he is angry at what happened. >> translation: we understand this is war. we know people will die, but this is more. we will never forget what they did here. we will have our revenge. >> reporter: according to the u.n., i.s.i.l. killed at least 3000 yazidi men and women when it took control of this region in ju

it wasn't the first time that beirut southern suburbs was targeted by an explosion, but it's been over a year, and people that we met at the scene, they were worried. yes, there was anger, and defiance, but at the same time they are worried that they could see more of such attacks in the near future. now we understand, and many people believe that this attack is directly linked to the war in neighboring syria, some sort of a message to hezbollah, and we have -- hezbollah has enemies. but everybody those politician condemn the attack, and said that this was a heinous crime, and it is unacceptable to target civilians. really, in a show of national unity, politicians are coming together, but there is little national unity in this country. politician are deeply divided, there are those that support the syrian government, there are those that support the syrian opposition. and it is not just a political divide in lebanon. it is also a sectarian divide. because those who support the government are mainly from the shoo shia community. and over the past years really there are a lot of fears th

this is mainly she that neighborhood in beirut's southern suburbs. it is also where supporters of the movement has lived. suicide bombers on motorcycles debt oneighted-- detonated minutes apart. >> translation: a large number of those injured were severely wounded and a number died in hospital. i also know body parts of the two suspected suicide bombers have been found. we may have escaped another one because the explosive belt of the third suicide bomber didn't go off. >> reporter: people here have seen scenes like this before. there was a time when similar attacks were frequent in this area of the lebanese capital. >> reporter: people are angry, but there's also a sense of defy answer. this is not the first time they have been hit by an explosion, but the last time it happened was over aer ago diabetes an explosion. just like the attacks in the past, the people here believe this was a message to hezbollah which has sent troops to syria to help the government there in its fight against the opposition. hezbollah has earned itself enemies. one of thos

we saw what recently happened in lebanon as well with the attacks in southern beirut which bears allarks of isil. it is not just europe. i think we here in the united states have to obviously be quite vigilant. >> ron taylor with the george washington university center on cyber and homeland security. my question is, given the concert hall and the restaurant were in the private sector domain, many private sector organizations over the recent years have increased their awareness that they have a security role. so you see more chief security officers, more vice presidents of security. do you foresee kind of a movement toward more cooperation with the private sector and in particular those security components within the private sector that could play a role in this kind of fight? >> well, certainly by definition in the cyber realm there has to be that partnership. 85% of the worldwide weapon is owned and operated by the private sector, and so what we need to do as a country, we need to find the type of relationship with the private sector that is built on mutual confidence and trust and
