. >> ayman, we are ready to say this is now over. very dramatic developments in just the past two hours. at about 10:00 p.m. local eastern time, our time, that raid began on the restaurant with commandos entering that restaurant. there was a hail and exchange of gunfire. we're talking about the rapid action battalion that's basically like an s.w.a.t. team equivalent in bangladesh. that raid went on for ten to 20 minutes. there was a series of explosions. i want to go through mamuna. we've been speaking to her. give us an update of what you've witnessed, what you saw and heard over the course of this operation as it unfolded from your vantage point. hello, can you hear us? all right. it seems that we have lost mamuna. >> hello? >> hello, are you with us? okay. we're going to try to re-establish that connection if we can. but with us here in studio, we have with us malcolm nance. malcolm, we've been talking about the significance of this operation. some very important pieces of the muzzle that we've learned. some of it, we're not able

. >>> i'm ayman mohyeldin here in new york. it 3:00 p.m. in the east. we're continuing to follow the breaking news out of washington. hillary clinton's campaign confirming today the former secretary of state gave a voluntary interview to the fbi this morning about her e-mail practices while she was at the state department. nbc's kelly o'donnell is in our washington news room with the latest on the meeting. kelly? >> reporter: this is a very important milestone in what has been a long and winding road for hillary clinton and for the justice department. she, of course, has been the subject of the popular conversation about the meeting. how it's talked about in politics. how it's talked about in the water cooler. people having dinner with family and debating the issue. today hillary clinton gave an interview with the fbi. she travelled to the fbi headquarters in washington, d.c. i spent most of this day outside her home in washington. we saw her leave early this morning. we saw her come back. and that time line fit exactly as the campaign statement. there

i am ayman mohyeldin at msnbc world headquarters in new york. you're watching live extended coverage of the dhaka siege that has been unfolding in bangladesh over the past several hours. i want to go back to steve clemons. steve, you and i were talking about something that i think is very fascinating, which is some of these attacks, whether they be orlando or istanbul or now as we are seeing, bangladesh, not necessarily directed by isis but maybe even inspired. talk to us a little bit about the cascading terrorism effect, the butterfly effect, if you will, of what we are seeing unfold on the global stage. how are these attacks related or not related to one another? >> well, as jim cavanaugh and others on the program have said, that there are different kinds of terrorism enacted by different players. some are inspired couples. we've seen married couples in san bernardino, or omar mateen in orlando, or radicalized members of the u.s. military in fort hood, you know, take on action in the united states. but in other places, up know, one of the bias

>> ayman there are concerns of some harsh crackdowns. the president had already been under pressure in his own country and abroad over dealing with dissent. >> yeah. absolutely. in fact, you're talking about the crackdown that's taking place, and you mentioned 6,000 people have been arrested. among those that have been detained, a senior military officer that oversaw the incirlik air base, one of the most important air bases could have implications for the u.s.' war against isis because that's the air base where so many of these planes take off but in addition to that some of the president's inner circle including his top military aide was detained in this crackdown that is taking place among those that have been also arrested justice officials or members of the judiciary. so a lot of people are watching this very closely to see how far president erdogan's going to go in rounding up these individuals that he alleges were part of or behind this failed coup attempt. >> okay, nbc's ayman mohyeldin. the man erdogan is blaming for the failed

i'm ayman mohyeldin in new york. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to her current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. (announcer) namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. all my life, he's protected me. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namenedaxr.com. like bundling

joining nee now, nbc news foreign correspondent ayman mow mohyeldin, let's put this in the context of the last month. just in the last month, orlando, 50 dead, 49 killed, including the shooter who pledged allegiance to isis. the attack on the istanbul airport, which appears to have been also the work of isis, although no formal credit, though we believe it was them. dozens dead there. the dhaka attack, just in the same week as that, and now this in nice. >> and don't forget about iraq. >> 250 -- >> bigger than all of these. and it's not to say that one is bigger than the other in terms of the magnitude of the loss, but what it demonstrates is the capability of whoever is behind all of these attacks. i don't mean behind it from an operational point of view, but operationally in the sense that there's an ability to inspire these types of attacks. and you know, we're not -- we're still in the very early stages, not sure who is behind this in terms of an organization, but the deliberate attack, and when you start putting it on a -- analyzing it through a matrix of possibilities, the symbo

you know, your discussion there with ayman and the reporting just before, that he was going to -- was trying to dial a cell phone, trying to dial a cell phone could be -- it's very common in the middle east, and around the world for terrorists to use a cell phone as a trigger. so they plant a receiver, a cell phone inside the bomb, they rig it up to an electric detonator and when they dial the phone t detonates the device. it could be in the back of the truck as we're surmising, and that's a very good guess, we should be suspicious of that. the bomb squad has to take it out, but it also could be another location. also, he could be calling, you know, trying to call someone to claim credit, 911 if you will. we don't know the answer to those things. he had the lights out. he slowed down. the motorcycle cop was next to him. it's like a whale and there are a couple dolphins. they're not stopping the whale. it's too big and it's going, and he had this open area to just wind through the pedestrians. the way to stop that truck is never let the truck get there in the first place. you have all

e he should be well ayman. >> gabby, just an honest police take. >> i don't think it was done malicio maliciously. i think if there was a trump campaign aid who did this there should be questions about where he got this from. it seems it originated o on neonazi relationships. there was an event in new hampshi hampshire. he came out saying as president he would certainly defend israel. we have, as he mentioned, people who are, you know, prsome of the concern messages. i don't think trump was sitting behind his twitter account saying let me share this over 4 lt of july weekend! but why do they keep happening? here we are again, two weeks from the gop convention. >> he hasn't professionalized that. he needs to be. he needs to top making things and needs to professionalize things to handle social immediate yachmedia. it can't be trump doing everything for his campaign. >> let's talk running mates here. i want to put the pictures ton screen for our viewers at home. i think the folks will notice something here. they are all older why men? >> iech very away but he is such a for someone who m

up next, in "am joy," i'm ayman mohyeldin, i'll you next on "msnbc live." all behind. don't you dare ask what's next. introducing the first-ever cadillac xt5. ♪ ugh. heartburn.g ] sorry ma'am. no burning here. try new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmm. incredible. looks tasty. you don't have heartburn. new alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. >>> welcome to the beginning of the end of the e-mail-gate. the final chapter in the endless saga that is the search for clinton malfeasance regarding benghazi. after the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server, the agency finally had a long-awaiting interview with the presidential candidate. yesterday clinton was questioned for three and a half hours at the fbi washington headquarters as the bureau looks to wrap up its probe into whether or not she broke the law by using a private e-mail server while serving as secretary of state. clinton spoke later about her fbi meeting in an exclusive interview with

this year i've spent more calendar days in europe than i have in cairo or ayman or baghdad. i have spent more days in paris, germany, brussels and other cities like that. i think that trend is continuing. it is not a good trend. you have seen the external security of europe breakdown. there's a lot of anger and fear. the idea of a german city lockdown. look all the those pictures. there's not a person on the road. all taxis suspended. the city has become a ghost town. nobody knows where the gunmen are. that suggests a pretty high degree of sophistication. maybe they had a safe house arranged. it's not easy to disappear when you're three people the whole city is looking for you and carrying weapons. it's not an easy thing. helicopters looking to take them down, this is not just a new reality. this is a science fiction reality. >> it really is. it's the slow motion war of our tim times. not so slow motion on days like today. tom costello in washington with more. >> a couple points here. to reiterate the state department is warning and asking anyone who is in munich to shelter

joining me here on set now, nbc's foreign correspondent ayman mohyeldin. you had been speaking with a doctor on the ground who treated many of the patients. what's the latest? >> the latest is what we have been reporting throughout the night. there hasn't been any substantial changes on the ground. for the past several hours, the scene at the hospital has been somewhat calm. i mean there isn't a sudden influx of patients, a lot of casualties, so that number of people remains the same. the last i checked with them it was at 26 wounded, many of them security personnel and at least two dead. two police officers dead. that was at that one hospital. there may be other hospitals and clinics. >> our producer had said four police officers dead. >> exactly. i believe that to still be the case in the last couple hours i checked in with hospital officials. >> as i said to jim, we are in the seventh hour. we are nearing daylight here. any indications that we are near an ending to this? >> this is somewhat uncharted territory because if we take the isis claim of respon

. >> neither osama bin laden nor his deputy ayman al-zawahiri were terribly impressed with him. he seemed and acted like a thug. he was not very sophisticated. in fact, they considered him a rather poor recruit to al-qaeda. >> narrator: zarqawi would leave kandahar determined to continue jihad, and to prove bin laden wrong. in 2002, he saw his chance. as president bush signaled saddam hussein had to go, zarqawi moved to a terrorist camp in northern iraq. it set off alarm bells at the cia. cia operations officer sam faddis, who ran a kill/capture team, was assigned the case. >> headquarters is extremely, extremely interested. i mean, the number one time-sensitive priority, as of june '02, when i left headquarters, was go collect on this islamic extremist enclave along the iran/iraq border. >> narrator: it didn't take long for faddis to find zarqawi and learn what was going on in the camp. >> we literally had guys that were working for us that were inside the camp. they're working on chemical and biological weapons. they were doing a lot of work with cyanide-based things. >> narra

a warning today from the leader of al-qaeda, ayman al-zawahri. in an online video message, he threatens "the gravest consequences" if the surviving boston marathon bomber is executed. dzhokhar tsarnaev was sentenced last year to death by lethal injection. the 2013 bombing killed three people. u.s. attorney general loretta lynch voiced regret today about a meeting earlier this week with former president bill clinton. they spoke monday, for about 30 minutes, after his private plane landed near her government aircraft at the phoenix airport. it stoked criticism because the f.b.i. is investigating hillary clinton's e-mail practices as secretary of state. today, in aspen, colorado, lynch repeated that she and the former president never discussed the investigation, but she understands the criticism. >> i may have viewed it in a certain light, but the issue is, how does it impact the work that i do and the work that the department of justice does? and i certainly wouldn't do it again, because i think it has cast a shadow over what it should not, what it

. >> is the worry that bin laden's kid may take over for ayman al zhou herry? >> they're grooming him for that. the papers said -- they mentioned hamza a few times, how osama bin laden was saying he was concerned about what to do with him. he wanted to send him to study in places like the united arab emirates to get the ideology right and they started to groom him in 2012 to be part of it. he knows the explosives and things like that. he will be the head if he stays alive. >> you just touched on something that reminded me of the thousands of documents and all that stuff you guys carted out, computers and things like that, hard drives and thumb drives, how much has been declassified? >> a lot has been declassified, people are analyzing. like the long war journal does a great job with it. they analyze it and you can see how osama bin laden was actually running the show from there, very good operational security. just he was running it well. >> so now hamza who put out this statement, this is not the brother, obviously, who was there the night you were -- >> no, t
