got to get to these huge governments out of texas today where this isis sympathizer and his accomplice have been killed after opening fire outside this exhibit. this exhibit was featuring cartoon drawings of the prophet muhammad. the event, sponsored by the american freedom defense initiative which some critics describe as a hate group, offered as much as $10,000 for the best cartoon of prophet muhammad knowing full well that muslims consider any depiction of the prophet blasphemous and knowing such offenses in the past have been met with deadly violence. this time the gunmen were the only ones to die. >> in about ten minutes to 7:00 a dark-colored vehicle pulled up to the west entrance parking lot. there was a police officer, a police car there blocking that entrance.

now authorities telling us that he is an isis sympathizer, linked to an isis member on social media. we've got tweets we can share with you on that. the fbi had been keeping close tabs on mr. simpson and he was also found guilty in 2011 of making false statements involving international and domestic terrorism. now i want to start with these tweets, ashleigh, because simpson sending out a tweet two hours before this attack and this known isis member actually retweeting the tweet. so from simpson we have a quick tweet that reads in part, may allah accept this as mujahedeen

sympathizers? then you get into further issues. things like do you have a pattern of activity around buildings, cities that allows you to disrupt cells? but the first thing you want to look at in this case is is there information on here that suggests that there was a plot about ready to go up that you didn't know about? >> you went through the bin laden raid documents that were found there, all the thumb drives and all that stuff, useful information. how useful potentially could this information be? >> it's particularly useful in the potential criminal implication. but adding to phil's laundry list, you're looking for money flows. if this guy was a cfo, we'll have ledgers about where the money was going, to whom it was being paid and where was the money coming into the organization. >> getting to ramadi general hertling very quickly, isis apparently launching these booby trap s, improvised explosive devices all over the city in case iraqi forces or shiite militia come in. this represents a huge pr

the first target is jihadis sympathizers in north africa at. they don't have -- they think their interest is still with al qaeda. quince isis established itself not only as a resilient group but asonce isis established itself not only as a resilient group but as an ideology, established ideology and the financial model it might gain ground in north africa and different parts of the world. the process of isis growth is still on, still growing. i don't think it is being defeated as you hear in the headlines. isis has been contained in some parts of iraq and syria. they have been rolled back in areas. they were targeting kurds in kurdish territory and she at inside she a territory. now they rollback to other areas but the heartland in tikrit have not been threatened by any internal or external challenges and that won't happen. if you look at iraq -- you don't know what is going on. that is an indication when you have a blackout, an area that is an indication that isis is so entrenched, any potential rivalry and activist operating in these areas an

possibly there were sympathizers, empathizers within the military establishment possibly keen to seema bin laden alive and they made sure that he continues to receive his line of supplies. nothing beyond that. my conclusion was that possibly the sympathizers new about the appearance of family, but not necessarily of it himself. it's contradicted by carlotta. last year she reported that an unnamed pakistani officer revealed osama bin laden's whereabouts to the u.s., and the former al qaeda leader was under the protection of pakistani's intelligence. after hersch's story came awed gul wrote "i cannot confirm the claims, i would not necessarily admit them." >> gul talked about limits of the military was in the know, knowing that osama bin laden was in pakistan and worked to hide him. that strikes many as plausible. the part that hersch brings up that carlotta did not was the idea that the u.s. was cooperating with the military to dub the public, and they were, in fact, in on the raid. >> carr lot owe is conscientious, and flicked at this. she flicked at the fact that certain pakistanies

federal investigators say one of the gunmen was in contact with at least three known isis sympathizers prior to the event. >> reporter: two weeks before the gathering in texas, the fbi and homeland security warned the nation's police that the event, coat carries the risk of being targeted by violent extremists noting that people were on twitter calling for retaliation. they say one of the gunmen was reading the calls. they say he followed a suspected british isis recruiter and that isis sympathizer and was communicating with an american who specifically called for attacking the texas event a week before the attack simpson sent this tweet, dm me. a prominent pro-isis website shows this picture as isis followers continue claiming credit. they say simpson was one of 400 people in the west deeply embedded in jihadist tweets. they say shutting down accounts is virtually impossible. >> when twitter takes down accounts they open new ones but it takes some time for followers to find the new accounts. >> reporter: monitoring twitter messages tipped off the fbi in many isis related terror cases

they say he followed a suspected british recruiter called al britani and isis sympathizer and was communicating with an american now believed to be in somalia, mohammed hassan who specifically called for attacking the texas event. a week before the event, he tweeted, dm me. an invitation for private direct messages. a prominent pro-isis website has posted this picture top other gunmen nadir soofi, as isis extremists continue taking credit. researchers who track extremists online say simpson was one of 400 people in the west deeply immersed in jihadist tweets. experts say permanently shutting down twitter accounts that espouse violence is virtually impossible, but the effort helps. >> what happens is when twitter takes down accounts, the jihadists open new ones. but it takes some time for followers to find the new account. >> reporter: monitoring twitter messages tipped off fbi to many of the 39 people arrested in 13 states in recent isis-related terror cases. but officials say it's a huge chore with more than 5,000 people following the kind of radical twitter accounts elton simpson did. pete wi

and it cannot be tracked. >> kimberly, there is a big difference between finding the true isis sympathizern who someone who is trying to act, and someone who is just spout ing it online, and how does the u.s. government differentiate who is going to act and who is the realk? >> well as bob said, a proliferation of the information on the web, and thousands a day, and that means more chatter each day and more each passing day for analysts to sift through, and one of the advantages that u.s. officials hope to get from the material raid in syria is that maybe they can get some of the passwords and see some of the mechanisms on the laptops that they have seized to figure out how one of the top leaders of isis is communicating. who knows what they can find in terms of the keys to the, you know there are a lot of the encrypted ways to communicate the what they are using and they have the physical hardware to figure it out. >> do you have a sense, bob, of where and how isis got so good at this? >> well, they picked it up from the west, poppy, mostly, because it is so many people in europe and the

at least one of these two suspects, a known isis sympathizer, convicted in 2011 of lying about his plans to take up jihad in somalia. the texas attacks took place outside of a contest sponsored by an anti-islam group called the american freedom defense initiative. it offered $10,000 for the best cartoon depiction of the prophet mohammed, knowing full well that muslims consider any depiction of the prophet blasphemous knowing such offenses at times have been met with deadly violence. the "charlie hebdo" massacre in january in france where police in garland spoke to reporters last hour. >> we're certainly looking into that. we have not knocked that out. but again, we're working with the fbi. we will eventually figure out what that is. >> i want to begin our coverage now this hour with my cnn colleagues ed lavandera who joins me live on the phone from garland and rosa flores here in new york. rosa, if i can begin with you, the latest that we know about these two now dead gunmen. >> you know, we know the name of one of those gunmen, ashleigh, the authorities releasing his name, elton simpson

they can sympathize with islamic state and the rest of it.an they committed a crime. there's nothing the fbi can do about these guys. clearly a lunatic. not well trained. has the slightest knowledge about islam. i'm quite sure about that. no way to prevent one of these attacks. frankly the texas police were ready for this. the garland police. i mean they knew potential. they had a squad in place and they took care of it. so i hate to put it this way, it's almost a success story. >> the organizers of this cartoon contest say that these men prove that isis is operating within the united states. is that true? >> i think they're here. there are two levels. there are people that sympathize with isis and are amateurs like the people who did the attack in texas and then professionals that know what they're doing and they worry the fbi the most. they can carry out a real assault and take on the police. i think the violence in the united states could get worse and better organized. >> do you think this cartoon contest should have been held? depicting

are there isignificance sympathizers in texas? perhaps.ther states, yes, so we can't conflate this incident in garland, texas and rumors with the fact that we're being invaded. >> talking about the right, drew, a new poll shows iowa gop vote remembers split on how conservative they want their candidates to be. 44% say they are more concerned about picking the most conservative candidate. 45% say they would rather back the person more likely to beat the democratic nominee. isn't that the source of tension, either you cater to the hard core base or you run like you actually want to win because you certainly aren't going to win a general election if you claim the president is trying to take over texas? >> yeah. i think that's exactly right. i think republicans are being really callo when they push these conspiracy theories but i don't think they are being stupid or irration. they have seen republican base voters will throw candidates out on their ear if they allow any day liggett to exist between the most extreme fringes of the republican bas

but we also heard from the director of the fbi talk about potential terrorist sympathizers and isis sympathizers all over the country. that they're trying to track. so do we have a serious concern here in the u.s.? >> i tell you one of -- yes, we do have a serious concern. as we saw in garland, texas there are groups already in the united states that are ready to attack. and it didn't take them very long to muster up a plan in order to go into garland. what i have a real problem with this color coding system and the way that the military is amped up their force protection. i'm a big believer in proponent force protection. think that the military should have been at a more heightened state all the time because we are in a war time footing. but my problem is it does nothing to secure the surrounding areas. so base ups their security force protection awareness, but yet right outside the gate is where a lot of the military families live. it's war lot of businesses are. the towns need to really follow right in line with that. >> when we found in the case of garland, texas, it wasn't a military instal

because the fbi knew in simpson's case knew he was a jihadi sympathizer, they knew talked about going to somalia. the fbi knew this guy was interested. it's extraordinarily unlikely isis had ongoing contact with him. because he had been tried and found not guilty or put on probation, i think the fbi probably had some ongoing surveillance with him. i think it's unlikely isis actually directed this to happen. it's more likely isis inspired this to happen. >> how challenging is this for law enforcement, you can put programs in place to stop these things from happening but you can't go around arresting every person who says something inflammatory. >> that's a great point. this case illustrates how difficult it is both for federal law enforcement and intelligence community. we knew back in 2006 that simpson did want to affiliate with the jihadi group in somalia and sympathizer but didn't do anything against the law. staying stupid things is not illegal. you can't get thrown in jail for that. the fbi spent something like 1500 hours trying to record this guy saying something pesk specific. t

i understand that many people sympathize with the army of the assad regime. >> was talked about a third of highest fighters come from europe. >> it's not the first time politicians come up with these kind of suggestions, and it would be hypocritical of me to say that i have a strategy to neutralize i.s., but i think air telling -- i think we could tell the local population what alternatives we have for them, what kind of state we want them to live in. do we just want to conquer this territory and destroy i.s. and handed over to the assad regime? we should first come up with a scenario for what we want the area to look like after the collapse of i.s. and i think i.s. is not invincible. >> you've written that it's a misconception that there is a international coalition fighting i.s. but it's shia militias. >> shia militias are fighting a much more efficient way. if we look at the international coalition, of course we have airstrikes, but the intention of countries like saudi arabia or allstate has been very much drawn away from the crisis in syria, and they are more concentrating on yemen

when you've been supporting your miss as well you totally understand and sympathize. >> there's a differencey and empathy. >> how do they do it? >> isn't the point of lying down supposed to be relaxed? >> i don't know how a mom-to-be gets any rest. that was the most painful thing i've done today. >> complete physiological change. not only physically but mentally. >> oh, my gosh the jump suit. >> it's a good video. worth the watch. the great thing about this this is the first video in a series all exploring motherhood. if you want to see the entire thing, head over to right this minute.com or pick it up on our mobile app. >> that's our show everybody. thanks for joining us. we'll see you for the next edition of "right this minute." of the boat a dog was in there by himself, doing donuts. see what it took to pull off one tricky rescue. >>> something crashes through the window. flying monster that derailed the ride. >>> a 13-year-old has no idea what's lurking in that swimming hole. what it is that wants this kid off his turf. >>> plus the buzz word for your chance to win a new ipad mini.

we sympathize with you. we will not judge. as we get outdoors today, temperatures look good. we're in the 50s to start. 54 degrees in the tri-valley. 52 in san francisco. temperatures look good this afternoon as well. 73 degrees in the north bay. 61 degrees on the way to san francisco. hey, good morning to you, tri-valley. check out this sun rise coming in from beautiful plea about on the this morning. 66 degrees out there to finish the day monday can be difficult sometimes. we'll help you get through it. we stop the clock for you as we head throughout the day today and evening hours, your wind is going to intensify. what you will notice here, the warmer colors, the pinks, the reds, the oranges, that's an indication of that fierce wind intensifying across the bay area. so you don't want to keep that in mind if you live on the north bay coast in particular, also the east bay hills and up and down the peninsula. more blustery out there later on. something else that the wind will contribute to. higher pollen levels as we get throughout the day. you h notice the pollen being pick

but admit it's impossible to track thousands of isis sympathizers. >> it's a force that we really haven't seen before. and we have to begin to cope more seriously with it. >> reporter: leaders disagree on how. >> i think the best strategy the u.s. could em sploi to defeat isis in iraq and syria. >> it has to come from islamic leaders who, frankly, can talk the language better than the federal government can. >> reporter: others think state and local police should help keep an eye on people living in their communities. this is the first time the pentagon has raised the security level on the military bases since the tenth anniversary of 9/11. >> all right. thank you so much for that report. >>> it is a startling situation. thousands of detain knees, two injured were jail. this morning in baltimore, new allegations piling onto a police force already undering investigation. according to records obtained by the baltimore sun, between june of 2012 and this year people were refused because of injuries deemed too severe. the records don't say how these people were injured. of them about 2% of the

can have that influence on your child and at some point you can't, but she was not making -- i sympathize neil but i think it's fair to say this woman was not making a political statement the way rosa parks very much was. she was simply being a parent and i think that's why we're so moved by it and we want to see more parents being parents. she just happened to be caught on videotape the way it happens in our society these days. so i admire her and laud her. she wasn't doing anything more than parenting her son which is great. >> adam with all due respect, adam -- >> go ahead, ben. >> exactly right, charles, miss parks said i was very tired and i didn't feel like moving i didn't feel like moving for a ridiculous illegal law and exactly the same thing. >> that's a great point, i understand. >> this was a political statement even it was inadvertent. it basically said that people can control their families their lives, their neighborhoods, essentially she was saying i'm not going to let my kid get involved with this and i have power to not make it happen. basically she said skrou oyou to the

sympathizers. the government argues there's no reason to change u.s. strategy, which is to pound i.s.i.l. from the air, and relying on u.s.-trained forces to do the dirty, dangerous close combat on the ground >>> a spokesman argued this was not a case where poorly motivated troops cut and ran. noting that i.s.i.l. surrounded ramadi and iraqi forces fought to the end. >> in this case it appears that the i.s.i.l. forces had the upper hand and it was time for iraqi forces to reposition. >>> the coalition conducted air strikes in and around ramadi, like had one on i.s.i.l. folders. ate were carried out in the last day as the city was falling. pentagon officials say: the u.s. says it trained 11,000 troops with another 3,000 in the pipeline, it's unknown how many were involved in ramadi and the combat capability remains in question. several thousand shi'a militia men moved to a military base. the questions surrounding the fall of ramadi were many. are the iraqi forces the equal of i.s.i.l. fighters. if iraq can't hold ramadi how can it liberate the biggest p

peace, as if there are perfect partners and here you had anwar sadat, who was an assassin, a nazi sympathizer and menachem begin, a terrorist who blew up a hotel in jerusalem killing 100 people whose troops he sent to the palestinian village where so many were massacred. these were guys were blood on their hands. >> right. and then you had carter, who was a flailing, unpopular president. if you wanted to take a cast of unlikely people, to make peace, you look at today's cast of characters and think, oh, they would never make peace. believe me understanding that context, nobody could believe it. >> it's proof of the old adage, in everys aspect of life, perfect can't be the enemy of the god. far from perfect as individuals and as a collection of people, many reasons to think this would not work. what happened. that it actually was made to work? >> well, start with jimmy carter and an unusual man, you know, he was -- he grew up in the rural south, in south georgia, the only jew he knew was his uncle in chattanooga, an insurance salesman who could chin himself with one arm. that was very impressi

the group killed hundreds of people in ramadi accused of being government sympathizers. thousands fled the city since i.s.i.l. seized it. shia fighters prepare to retake ramadi as john seigenthaler reports, they could have an unlikely ally. >> reporter: about 18 miles from a base in ramadi the shia fighters are preparing for battle. their mission to retake the city of ramadi seized by i.s.i.l. fighters. iraqi soldiers charged with defending the city were forced to retreat and called for rescue from i.s.i.l.'s onslaught. >> there's treason. it fell to the fighters. >> reporter: in this press briefing the u.s. downplayed the strategic of ramadi. >> the city is not symbolic it's not declared part of the calafat on one hand or central to iraq. we want it back. it's not about bricks and mortar, it's about defeat the i.s.i.l. >> reporter: getting it back will not be quick and even. >> i think the overall battle plan will be slower. >> reporter: the fight for ramadi claimed the lives of 500 civilians and soldiers, and thousands of families have been displaced. >> we have been i
