as air strikes continue on isis targets in syria, france has now trying to assemble an international alliance to fight the terrorist forces. can france unite russia and the u.s. in the battle against isis? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> we're following the breaking news. the manhunt for the eighth terrorist in the paris attacks, salah abdelsalam, and this video of the attacks obtained by dailymail.com showing a gunman spraying a cafe with bullets and customers scrambling for safety. in one chilling scene the gunman approaches a woman near the door and aims at her, but the weapon appears to jam and the gunman walks off. france has confirmed that the mastermind of the attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud, was killed in a raid in a paris suburb. and now french officials say he appears to have been involved in as many as six foiled terror attacks since the spring. a counterterrorism source tells cnn that abaaoud is believed to have spent time in syria working with a senior french figure in isis, fabien clain plotting attacks in france. clain's
