and that's why the united states can't stay silent. that is why we must stand and act and reck nice, we're at war. we're at war. because the islamic state has declared war against the united states, western europe, they declared war on anyone who isn't them. but they've been very clear about declaring war against the united states. the islamic state also made another strategic capture. they captured air bases. iraqi air bases. when they did that, they captured united states equipment. so the islamic jihad is fighting with the latest united states equipment. they reportedly have united states helicopters. united states planes. they reportedly have united states weaponry. and united states ammunition. they also have uniforms that they captured from the iraqi forces. they captured humvees. armaments. the oil fields. they also captured natural gas fields in central syria. this spring, as i was watching this occur, i am from the state of minnesota, and unfortunately, minnesota has a very long connection to terrorism, and i went to the f.b.i.

in and be terrorists in the united states. this is nonsensical to me. and you see, mr. speaker, earlier this summer i asked the f.b.i. for classified briefing. i did so because my home state of minnesota has a tragic, very unfortunate nexus of terrorism. we have the distinction of having the only convicted terrorists of 9/11 being from the state of minnesota. his name is moussaoui. we also have a high number of minnesotans who left minnesota and abandoned the united states to go and fight on behalf of another al qaeda organization al shabab. that's an al qaeda affiliate in somalia. well over 50 minnesotans traveled to join al-shabab and fight in the cause of islamic jihad. we also had terrorists financing cases which were successfully prosecuted in minnesota. two women were con vipsvicted of terrorist financing cases in the minneapolis federal district court. two women were convicted of terrorist financing in rochester, minnesota. in federal district court. then we had the westgate shopping mall terror act in kenya. and from th

but the united states and great britain couldn't even be matched. e war then ended not so much as a draw but as a stalemate that was born with the inability of confidence to find ways to continue conflict. having come to that point toward the end of 1814, both eventually settled for peace that restored the status quo and that peace was signed in 1814. we might even qualify that verdict a little further. we might say we won, but there were no losers in the war. all historians agree that the real losers in the war of 1812 were the indian peoples, a good many whom fought on the side of the british but a good number also fought on the side of the united states. americans tend to forget that it was their fault. despite all the choices, they suffered disproportionately. a number of casualties occurred and they were forced to concede large areas of land to the united states. these land sections, especially the gulf coast and regions to the south, ensured that the unite states was going to dominate the heartland in the future. i tell you that because this is

this is the eve of the united nations general assembly. and that cannot be a coincidence. >> reporter: well, actually, the administration says, no. there is no connection to the timing. in fact, a senior administration official saying a short time ago that the only things that factored into the timing of this decision were, one, concerns of military planners, that is, did they have confidence they had the intelligence necessary to find the right targets and strike them. and, two, were the coalition partners ready? that is the five arab nations that took part in these strikes, four of them -- saudi arabia, jordan, the united arab emirates and bahrain -- dropping bombs, taking part in kinetic air strikes. but they say no coincidence in timing with the meeting of the u.n. the u.n., a peacemaking body and you have the u.s. now at war in three countries in the middle east, syria, iraq and afghanistan. and in syria now, the u.s. bringing along really just a surprising, unusual coalition of these arab nations. one arab nation, five arab nations, i

what is the united states expecting from turkey on a realistic level? on a realistic level, they don't really think they'll get operational military use of the air base but they'd like to see a much greater effort along the border. they'd like to see turkey do some serious effort along the syrian border to stop the flow of foreign fighters and to stop the flow of oil coming over the border from ooh rack an the iraq side of the border which is being sold in turkey. >> why wouldn't they close the border in terms of fighters? >> it's really hard to do. it's a porous border. it's really long. it's really difficult. on the other side, it's also wink, wink, nudge, nudge thing for turkey not to have to do. we've never really totally cleaned on them to 100% do it. now it's a bit of greater pressure being applied. >> anne gearan for "the washington post." appreciate it. >>> we are finding out new details about tonight's air strikes in syria, including not just what the targets are but how the strikes are being carried out at a pretty specific level. we've got th

>> i will ask a question back to our colleagues and friends in the united states. will they accept a foreign entity to existed within iraq that has no respect for the laws of the country, that acts as a country within the country, because if that's acceptable to the united states in whatever size, small, medium or large, then why is there such hesitancy towards kurdistan being its own independent country when we are clearly alliesed to the united states? we clearly have democratic values that are similar to the values in the united states. we certainly will not tolerate this group to exist in any firm or fashion, in any size, manageable or unmanageable in the country. the united states should not accept isis to -- to maintain a foothold in iraq. i would go so far as to say that the united states and the rest of the world should not accept isis to maintain a foothold in syria which was really the birthplace of isis. this requires cooperation and also requires iraq to come to this decision that they must not allow this group to have a base inside iraq or syria and tha

you have an air force called the united states air force. rn countries attacking isis targets in iraq. and so far they have not dislodged isis. as you say, they've held the line around baghdad. they have relieved a few towns, amorally and others. but isis is still dug in. isis controls mosul. we don't see a flood of sunnis to the new iraqi government. >> i'm not saying a lot of sunnis but i'm seeing a lot of sunnis contacting us and wanting to work with us. tribes, individuals, groups. they are really on our side at the moment. they want to see the day when isis can be pushed back from their areas. i believe them. and we have contacts with them. and they want help to do that. having said that, to be honest with you, the international coalition helping iraq, there is a lot of talk. i don't want to be critical. but i'm practical. i'm prime minister of iraq. we haven't been receiving enough support on the ground. >> you're going to be meeting with president obama one on one. what will you tell him? >> well, i think we need concrete support. alth

the united nations ramping up its involvement. red to ramp up its involvement and i think the obama administration wants to el gate this, get the whole world rallying around what the world health organization and the cdc here in the u.s. call a real global threat. and then there's climate change, kind of exploded this year. you have this u.n. climate summit. a lot of leaders addressing that. but you saw on sunday hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating on the streets against their leaders who they say are not doing enough to combat climate change. the obama administration i think really wants to elevate this issue, make some of the worst offenders stay true to their commitments on climate change. and lastly, wolf, the iran talks. you know, they're in the homestretch. the november deadline is coming up. a little bit of pessimism. these rounds have been very difficult. it's unclear whether there will be a deal. iran is really holding out and it's unclear whether they're holding out trying to hope the international community wan

what did the president of the united states tell you? ll ukraine be a major nonnato ally which is very significant? >> my answer would be, again, very straightforward. the answer is president obama said no. >> he told you no? >> no. because we already have a special status for the corporation, the united states and ukraine, level of the security and defense corporation is much higher than just the status of the nato ally. for example, argentina. and we have are a strategic partner of the united states and i think that would be more efficient. >> so you made the appeal before congress. you were applauded. they gave you a standing ovation when you -- >> so you're basically satisfied with what you got, even though you didn't get that? >> absolutely. we do not refuse we have -- we will have a special program for the american team for performing our security and defense sector. we will have a special appropriation. we have enough and i am completely satisfied with the cooperation with the white house. >> here's what is upsetting for me with so

al qaeda hates the united states and america in the short term, isis hates the united states of america maybe in the immediate dwroum long term. so that's the difference but ideology is exactly the same. >> and tom fuentes, if khorasan is plotting terror attacks, they probably have a decent sanctuary inside syria right now. we don't know the full extent of the bomb damage caused by this u.s. strike against that this khorasan target inside syria right now but if they have a sanctuary that's very similar to what al qaeda had in afghanistan before 9/11. >> that's true, wolf. >> that's why they've come to that particular part of the world because they know there's a sanctuary and also in addition to that they have the opportunity to hook up with foreign fighters from all over the world which are not known by intelligence and law enforcement services. so this is a potentially very dangerous nexus here between foreign fighters coming from all over the world who are young, who are new generation and the most senior operatives who have two decades of bomb making experience. >> tom fuentes, you

. >> the eyes of the world now turning to the united nations. president obama set to chair a session of the u.n. security council this hour. but the second time an american president has ever done this. it comes as we confront a crisis after a crisis after a crisis around the world. and as arab nations join with the united states to target islamic fighters, we'll take you live to the u.n. security council. i'll speak with the state department spokesman jen psaki live from the fox news desk. the tony stewart crash. grand jurors have been hearing evidence against the veteran race car driver who struck and killed another pedestrian sort of driver on the track. are they indicting him today or let him off the hook today? we will find out today, in fact in just a matter of minutes. let's get to it. >> breaking news. shepard smith reporting live from the fox news desk. >> and breaking news begins our hour this wednesday afternoon. president obama moments away from convening a meeting of the world leaders at the united nations to talk about how to tackle

the united states. again, not in the instance of being intimidated but being prepared to protect the people of the united states of america. like all americans, i was horrified, outraged and saddened by the bye headings of two american journalist, james foley and stephen sotloff by isis terrorists. they have used brutal remedies and tactics to expand control over iraq and syria, threatening the security of both countries. they have attacked, killed, kidnapped and displaced thousands of religious and ethnic minorities in the region, including christians and including small ethnic minority groups. u.s. officials have warned that syria-based terrorist extremists may also pose a direct threat to our homeland. one concern is that foreign fighters holding western passports might travel to this country to carry out a terrorist attack. additionally, our own u.s. citizens are known to have likewise left the united states and gone to the battlefield to perpetrate jihad. the total number of armed opposition fighter

interesting they used the word, defense in the united states. everybody is starting to say, this is about defending ourselves or people against isis. so i asked him was he pleased with the strikes going on into syria and also the countries that joined the coalition. >> i am happy that they see the dangers which we have been seeing for the past three years. i mean, we have warned in the past two years. this is a danger. this is a blood game. it is going to end in a blood bath if nobody stops it. nobody was listening. they thought everybody was immune from this danger and only iraq and syria were on the spot of this danger. but now we're happy, i'm happy that everybody is seeing this danger. >> you're going to be meeting with president obama one-on-one, what will you tell him? >> well, i think we need to gather support. although the united states has supported us all along, they stood with iraq. but we need more concrete support on the ground. >> do you mean ground forces? >> no, i mean air cover, on the ground, i have to see that effect on the gr

the united states needs to have an active role. if you're talking about security in general, they need to have a better understanding of what's going on in the war on drugs. drug legalization needs to take place in the united states in order to relax what's going on in mexico and south of the border in general because the united states is one of the main drug consumers. >> we have to leave it there. as you can see it is a complex world. mr. valencia, i thank you for being with us this morning. you're watching al jazeera america. i'm del walters in new york. there is more news straight ahead, and you can check us out 24 hours a day by going to www.aljazeera.com. >> ...wait...is that a camera? >> at the real issues facing american teens >> whoa...code red.... >> dreaming big... >> i gotta make it happen... and i'm gonna make it happen... >> choices made.... >> i'm gonna lose anything left that i have of the mexican culture... >> fighting for their future... >> it is imperative that i get into college... it's my last chance to get out

so now the united states is going after isis regardless of borders. the group controls large territories in both iraq and syria. doesn't see that border at all. in fact, sees it as their own islamic state. according to pentagon officials speaking to fox news, the united states is attacking with bomber, with fighter jets and with tomahawk missiles. source tell us the targets include islamic state command centers, training camps, and spots where the terror groups store huge caches of weapons. we can't really target the leader there's because we don't have the ground intelligence to know exactly who they are and exactly where they are. we're told four arab nations are also flying in the missions over syria, flying in the mission. and those are saudi arabia, jordan, bahrain, and the united arab emirates. defense officials say a fifth nation qatar is also helping in the effort, but not by air, which is very interesting in and of itself. and we'll get to the reasons for that later. the white house tells us president obama does not plan to speak publicly toni

the united states, the united kingdom, greece, and estonia.ks for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> good morning. it's time for "reliable sources." we begin with breaking news. in just the last few minutes we learned new details about the world's battle plan against the proper group isis. a number of arab countries have offered military assistance as part of the coalition fight. that's acourting to secretary of state john kerry on "face the nation." he said there are some that are clearly prepared to take action. that news comes hours after another video of another western hostage being beheaded by isis. this time the proper group's victim is david haines, a british aid worker. in a moment i want to talk about whether media outlets are doing

president of the united nations, secretary general of u.n. ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to begin by congratulating on the election of the 69th session of the assembly of the united nations. we wish him success in his mission. i would like also like to thank his excellency, mr. john ash for the efforts he made during his presidency, and i would like to thank his excellency mr. ban ki-moon secretary general of the united nations in his efforts to promote in the united nations. this comes at a time with the latest development on the international arena affect the security of humanity at large for the united nations to assume it's role in international peace and security. it must activate mechanisms under the united nations and explore all the means to avoid conflict and settle through peaceful means. international peace and security will not be achieved without the principle of equality and compliance to international law, the implementation of the resolution of international legitimacy and respect for human rights and human rights of

at least some of the entry areas to the united nations. bang ki moon is speaking as we are right now, broadcasting live. we're going to go to a quick break. there's a lot more to discuss. we'll be hearing from the president live from the united nations at the top of this hour. and a lot more to discuss. but first -- the air strikes. syria. the reaction. >> there will be challenges ahead, but we're going to do what's necessary to take the fight to this terrorist group. for the security of the country and the region and for the entire world. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all

there are reports that it may include the united arab emirates. saudi arabia, bahrain, qatar possibly. we don't know what their roles are, and the pentagon saying it's up to the partner nations to say what their roles were. it's critical for the white house. they wanted to build an international coalition, it didn't want to be seen as another situation of here is the white house, acting on its own, going into the middle east, launching air strikes. whatever role the arab nations played, that is a factor that the white house wanted to see in place before they launched the streaks. we should say that martin dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs, when he testified in front of congress, talked about the campaign that would be launched against syria. he said it won't be shock and awe, that's the campaign against saddam hussein and iraq was call. it will not be shock and awe, because i.s.i.l. isn't organised that way. he said it will be sustained and persistent. we are seeing a bombardment tonight. and a number of ways they have gone after i.s.i.l.,

as alluded to earlier tonight, the history of the united states is one that has a continuous stream of minority groups who have been targeted landscape goaded and victimized by abuses of power, african-americans being the most common and consistent example, but other groups as well, whether immigrants or accuse communists were japanese-americans during world war ii have been similarly targeted based on the knowledge that these marginalized minority groups that the government can seize power without anyone much caring about it. the air is an argument that the muslims are the latest in this continuum, the current example that has replaced communists and other groups as this favorite group from the u.s. government to target and demonize to justify abuses of power. there is an argument that one should look at it that way. i actually think there are some unique attributes about this persecution that distinguish it from those other prior examples. i think is very difficult to compare injustices quantitatively to see which are better or worse. it's not profitable to do that, there are unique

the goals and values, and principles of the united nations. i once again welcome the new unity of purpose in the counsel on this issue under the leadership of president obama. i hope that this spirit will carry over to other pressing issues, particularly finally bringing peace to the people of syria. thank you, mr. president. >> i think his excellency, mr. secretary-general, for his statement. i will now make a statement in my capacity as president of the united states. thank you for being here today. in the nearly 70 years of the united nations, this is only the sixth time that the security council has met at a level like this. we convene such sessions to address the most urgent threats to peace and security. i called this meeting because we must come together as nations and the international community to confront the real and growing threat of foreign terrorist fighters. as i said earlier today, the tactic of terrorism is not new. so many nations represented here today, including my own, has seen citizens -- have seen citizens killed by terro

are the united states and iran coordinated today? do you expect a need for coordination in the future? >> the united states is goin to operate in krord nas with the government, this is sufficient. if there is no coordination from our viewpoint. >> is there currently any direct correlation between the united states and iran? in the fight against isis? >> so we need to do this. we will deliver this help to the people, the governments and army and military of iraq. >> if the united states changes its policy and decides to send in ground troops, would iran support it? >> we consider it as incorrect because the past experience shows that such forces will not be there. but beneath have the required efficiency because every day they are witness the explosions in iraq and they were not able to return fallujah from terrorists. >> the u.s. says the isis challenge has been discussed with iran on the sidelines of the ongoing nuclear talks which have resumed. is it possible that this will happen again? could these conversations be happening? >> pr

the united states is trying to block the confederacy. the confederate defense ministers to mexico asking if you would allow them to let the munitions through. what are you guys fighting for a quick slavery and quick slavery by supremacy is quite similar to help you guys? no, i'm not. dtmf debt that had been incurred by a previous administration, he was going to go into mexico, get rid of the democratically elected president, abolish the constitution that guarantees against slavery rights of privacy and stall a monarch who would be very friendly with the confederates. at about the time mcclellan will start on his ill-fated campaign, which would be completely shellacked. robert ev started to rise. the french go into mexico. they are marching towards mexico city. he had a very likely language and they are breeding every day what is happening. so the french are marching towards mexico city. apparently without a resistance. mcclellan is just getting beat. the horrible posture is shocking people. this civil war is bloody. it's going to be horr

most of the radicalization comes from outside the united states. rry about that here as well. but we have to get become rhetorical flourishes and how to put this plan the president's laid out into action. >> colonel, you've traveled all over the world, particularly in the middle east. you've dealt with many of these governments face to face. how do you think they will respond to being told it's time to end the hypocrisy of those who accumulate wealth on the one hand and then fund some of these terrorist groups on the others? >> probably not well. but they understand the president has his own personal agenda and he's got his own manner of speaking. but the diplomacy, i don't think will suffer because of that. i think the words will resonate a little bit with the citizenry. but i think the youth is what's important. and i don't think the president is going to reach them. i think that as peter said, i think the recruitment probably is going to be picked up by these air strikes because those who are on the fence and were willing to join isis will probab

centcom says the united states has taken action to disrupt the attack plotting against the united states and western interests conducted by seasoned al qaeda veterans referred to as the group who established a safe haven in syria and test and improvised explosive devices and recruit westerns. those strikes were undertaken by u.s. assets and u.s. central command conducted eight strikes against the group and those targets were west of aleppo. training camps and explosives and control facilities. a very busy night for the united states and allies in that area. john and christine. >> very busy, indeed, joe. the eight strikes near aleppo. all the way in the western part of the country coupled with 14 strikes against isis. not just centered in raqqa, but three cities as well. this is a significant operation. again, not to mention allies and arab nations involved in the strikes as well. >> reporter: right. an enormous swath as you can see in the country trying to make a statement in the early days and hours of this campaign in syria. so, the united states says it is only the beginning. they cer

it's like the colonial spirit in the united states when we broke. ments the english are using. you'll lose money to the bank of england. you lose the pound and all this. they are appealing simply to basic economics. around the world, i think the heart is starting to win, as in spain . >> if scotland breaks away, then you'll have england. is that going to affect the status of england in the international organizations, starting with the u.n.? will they continue to have a seat at the u.n.? well, who knows? >> security council? >> security council. >> i'm talking about the permanent security council. what happens there? what happens in the eu? i mean, is england then going to be-- >> eu's got -- england's got a vote coming up in 2017 already scheduled. >> you are going to stop think -- you're going to think of england in contra distinction to great britain, which is a bigger entity. >> it's going to be england if the scots leave, plus wales. >> and lose prominence in the world, also in their position of world bodies down the line, 10, 25 years-- >> econ

do the english want them to stay in the united kingdom? the polling is in two weeks, and scottish public opinion is closely divided. >> should scotland be an independent country? in just two weeks, more than 4 million voters will have the chance to either check the box yes, or not. scottish governments first minister alex salmon is leading the crusade for the yes campaign. >> few societies anywhere have secured this opportunity. to vote themselves -- this is an opportunity peacefully, and a process agreed andeen agreed and consented. it is an opportunity which may not come our way again. >> alster darling head of the better together campaign, is arguing for keeping the status quo. we do not need to divide these islands into separate states in order to assert our identity. we can have the best worlds with more decisions become taken here, backed up by the united kingdom. >> according to the b. b. c., throughout 2013, better together led strongly in the polls by an estimated 50% to 33%. now, the gap is dramatically narrowed, this week, the po

voting to remain part of the united kingdom. we are live with the reaction. >>> congress on board with president obama plan's to train rebels in the fight against isis. this coming with new air strikes and isis releasing new propaganda video of a hostage. live team coverage ahead. >>> and thousands of american tourists stranded in cabo. the u.s. military air lifting victims of hurricane

the fact that the united states has the highest tax rate in the world, the fact the united states is the only major industrialized country that taxes its corporations on income earned throughout the world. and the fact that if you do it right, you can defer those taxes, but the money gets trapped offshore. we are talking about inversions. this isn't the first time we've been down this road. we went down the road in the 1990s. that give us 367-a. early in the bush administration in '04. that give us anti-inversion legislation that is now in internal revenue code 7874. what the administration is proposing 7874 to be more strict. the bottom line is it's never really going to work unless we adopt the kinds of things dan and ike are going to be talking about. if you make it impossible to change the domcile, you can sell out to a foreign corporation, rather than where the management is really in the united states. do we want to create a tax system which is basically the equivalent of planting a big sign in the front lawn of the united states, saying, "please don't do business here." please

when the war is going extremely badly with the united states. to put it simply, the expanded army was a bureaucratic nightmare. that the war department never got full control over. nobody in this room should tell congress this. we do not want to encourage bad behavior on the part of the national legislators any time in the near future. but that's what did happen towards the end of the war. he had an opportunity to e collect. he did not use patronage in government contracts. he did not, as we might imagine johnson doing, go up to a congressman by his vote and say son, i need your vote. seeing how possible it is in fact at this point in american history. but the problem is not that madison did not try to influence what congress did, he did try to influence what congress did within the means that were unvailed to him at that time. he didn't have much control over the outcomes that he sought. >>> let's move to another equation. how did madison manage his cabinet as the organ of the administration during the war. to summarize, from 1809 and 1817, whic

saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, jordan, bahrain, qatar. america is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these nations on behalf of our common security. the strength of this coalition makes it clear to the world that this is not america's fight alone. above all the people and governments in the middle east are rejecting isil, standing up for the peace and security that people of the region and world deserve. >> this is a coordinated long term effort against isis. the pentagon said today it would take years, but also said no u.s. combat boots will be put on the ground in syria or iraq. military officials said training the syrian opposition is under way. meanwhile, not everyone is on board with this military action. as president obama gave his speech on the white house lawn today, protesters were not far away. demonstrators shut down a check point, played dead on pennsylvania avenue. more than a dozen secret service agents removed the protesters who didn't resist arrest. last night's military action was not put up for a vote to congress. p

and the largest asset company outside of the united states. e were plenty of business people on the other side, too, who were prepared to speak up for independence. >> on the issue of referendum and independence, david cameron has said it's settled for a lifetime. salmond said for now it's settled. but in the future we still have this question open. is it going to happen again? >> you know, that's up to the people of scotland. david cameron can say what his hope is, a lifetime. alex salmond can say what his expectation is, a generation. but what we need to remember is that the people are sovereign. the people of scotland will decide when they will have a referendum in the future. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank u. >> and glasgow was one of the areas who did say yes to independence. that's where nick robertson has been for the past 24 hours and more. nick, what is the feeling there as the cold light of day brings the reality to the people of glasgow? >> reporter: the cold light of day and also bringing people into the center of the city. a

they want an attack on the united states. what would be the conceivable net benefit to this kind of thing? >> isis spokesman summed it up in two lines. if you attack us, we get stronger. if you don't attack us, we expand even more. whether we attacked them or not, they want an engagement. they present themselves as the state head butting with the united states. they are trying to rise to the occasion. we are. i think for them, that solidifies the ideology and that there is a crusaded war against the islamic state they are the only people who can defend the islamic nation and that would be a rallying support for the group. >> for them to want that as they said, they would then have to believe they have the tactical ability to survive. i think they are a long ways off. really, really hurt by the u.s. it also goes to the point that several others have made. the importance of having non-american sunni nations, that doesn't eliminate the propeganta because they would say if the saudis are helping, these are all regimes. having sunn

we're at the united nations. in an apparent retaliation for french air strikes against isis targets inside iraq, a french hiker now appears to have been beheaded in algeria. a group saying they are aligned with the views of isis released the tape purportedly showing the killing just a little while ago, the french foreign minister confirmed its authenticity to a french radio reporter. the video is entitled "a message of blood" for the french government. herve gourdel was kidnapped on sunday, now apparently has been beheaded. >>> still ahead, the president asked the world the join the effort to defeat isil but will they respond? we'll ask a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations. >>> and thousands more refugees have fled the brutality of war in isis and crossed into turkey. we're going live. we'll have a report on the worst conditions at the border.

the united states on heightened alert tonight. the department of homeland security warning of lone wolf attacks in response to air strikes in syria. now, this is as the pentagon says that the air strikes last night did not just target isis. they say they targeted perhaps an even more immediate threat. >> last night we also took strikes to disrupt plotting against the united states and our allies by seasoned al qaeda operatives in syria who are known as the khorason group. >> the khorason group. the pentagon says that group is an al qaeda-linked organization. they say it was ready to execute attacks on commercial flights. blowing them up using cell phones, clothes and toiletries that would fit in the carry-on size loaded with explosives. we'll have much more on that group in just a moment. our justice correspondent, pamela brown, begins our coverage tonight following the story about potential lone wolf attacks. pam, what are you hearing about this warning, which obviously is coming right after those first air strikes in syria? >> re
