wish to join isis. he was kept away from only one group. he was not permitted to speak to or even go near a single woman. perhaps the most astonishing thing he heard from both isis solders and leads are is this -- >> they want to provoke the united states to bring ground troops to the country. it's a clear target. they want the americans to bring their boots on the ground. they want their dream. the ultimate fight against americans. that's what they want. that's what they hope. >> they do want to fight the americans on their own turf. in this regard isis has different dream than al qaeda. osama bin laden wanted to perpetrate large terror attacks against the west. isis may do this but to further its aim of building a state, a caliphate. still, can you not understand isis without going back to al qaeda and its signature moment, its most spectacular attack. september 11th, 2001. 19 al qaeda operatives hijack four planes, knock down two skyscrapers, crash into the pentagon and kill almost 3,000 people. >> t

was this directed by isis? is this simply isis jumping on the bandwagon? given the other facts we know now, it would seem this is isis directed, but again, there is nothing in the communiques themselves where there has been forewarning. >> there have been other cases where isis takes credit for something and then gives something else to back it up. that has not happened here. >> initially after the paris attacks, we didn't know, were these folks directed by isis, simply motivated by isis? then over a series of weeks, the isis propaganda released bits and pieces proving that they knew these folks, proving that the folks had been sent out, culminating in the last few weeks in a video showing the actual bombers or attackers reading their wills in combat fatigues in syria. clearly this was highly planned. if this is, indeed, what we think it is, this is exactly what we can expect. we can expect more material in the form of, obviously, the english language probably addressing this, very likely a video. but we need to be patient, because if you look at the timel

i did interview the syrian catholic priest who had dealings with isis, and he said that isis demanded that the adult christian men leave mosul in july 2014 and come to an auditorium to meet with them to learn the terms which isis expected. the christian men decided that it was a trap. that they were being rounded up for slaughter. in the best scenario, if they weren't killed, isis -- they did not trust isis to protect their women and girls. no one protects -- no one trusts isis. not even the state department. they thought the christians should have taken the deal. the concerns of these christian leaders were validated a short time later when a dozen christian women and girls were taken as slaves and they have not been seen since. the church has not succeeded in ransoming them. 1000 yazidis women and girls have also been taken. that was about one month later. in october, isis released a slave price list giving out prices, sale prices, for the slaves. it is not only the amount of money designated and age, but also christian and ethnicity. these were the slaves being sold. instead of lea

john, is isis coming here? >> reporter: well, isis is already here. as isis has developed as an organization, scott, what we've seen is inspired attacks. they're basically advertising through social media, they've called on people the attack here. we've seen arrests in those cases. enabled attacks where they've chosen to targets and spoken to people directly over closed social media channels where they've said, here's the target, go do it. what we haven't seen is directed that's what we saw in paris. that's what we just saw in brussels. and that's what we have to be prepared for obviously. >> pelley: what did you learn from the tactics that were used today? >> i think we learned once again that you have rudimentary tactics. we're talking about fairly large bombs when you look at the damage and assess the casualties, but basically terrorism as we see it here, explosives, or as we saw in paris, explosives with active shooters is a low-tech, low-cost, but extraordinarily high-impact venture. >> pelley: since paris over these last four months, islamic ext

isis the paradox. even though we are having success in syria and iraq and there would be a successful effort to detect mosul. and the harder we seem to hit the caliphate, the more incentive and capacity that the islamic has to project power beyond their borders. that is happening in africa and indonessia and western europe. i am not an appeaser or have to take responsibility. but we have to settle in for a long fight. better intelligence and more preempative. it is it a long war. it is more akin to the cold war 60 years on than it is world war ii which was won at a terrible sacrifice but in six years. 15 years after 9/11, al-qaeda affiliates including al-qaeda in yemen retains capacity to represent the greatest threat against commercial aviation in the united states still. and that is a decade and half on. >> some are advocating to seal the borders and closing the united states. immigration in europe is part of the problem is it not? failure to vet the imgrants coming in and failure to assimulate them.
