Manhunt For Suspect In State Trooper Killing; New York Man Accused Of Supporting ISIS
MICHAELA PEREIRA, CNN ANCHOR: Half past the hour, let's take a look at your headlines now. Breaking this morning, ISIS releasing this new video, responding to President Obama's vow to destroy and degrade the terror group. This video resembles a Hollywood movie trailer. In it, it promises there's more to come. It appears to indicate ISIS would kill U.S. ground forces if they were deployed into Iraq. And it finishes with sound from President Obama and the words "flames of war, fighting has just begun." A reversal of fortune for Adrian Peterson. The Minnesota Vikings banning him from all team activities until child abuse charges are resolved. This decision comes a day after the Vikings decided to reinstate Peterson. In the meantime, Ray Rice is appealing his NFL suspension. Claiming the league punished him twice for the same domestic influence incident, which he says amounts to double jeopardy. More protesting in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting. This time, protesters packed a county council meeting calling for the immediate arrest of Officer Darren Wilson. You can hear the crowd chanting, arrest him now and please don't shoot me dead. They want the prosecutor to recuse himself from the Ferguson investigation, they believe he can't be impartial because of his ties to the police force. A grand jury will decide whether to charge NASCAR driver, Tony Stewart, for the death of fellow driver, Kevin Ward Jr. Prosecutors in upstate New York could have dropped the case, but say they decided to present it instead to a grand jury after carefully reviewing all of the evidence. Stewart says he respects the decision and will continue to fully cooperate. You'll recall ward was killed when he stepped out of his wrecked race car, walked on to the track and was struck and killed by Stewart's car. The world of NASCAR still reeling from that loss -- Chris.</s>CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: Absolutely. We'll be following that one. We have a big story this morning, a huge manhunt escalating for Eric Frein, a survivalist suspected of ambushing two state troopers. Please take a look at your screen right now because this man is accused of killing one officer and wounding another. So hundreds of law enforcement officers are scouring the northern Pennsylvania woods where Frein is most comfortable by the way. And warning the public he may not be finished with his attacks. Joining us now is CNN law enforcement analyst and former FBI assistant Director, Mr. Tom Fuentes. Tom, this is no joke, not the average man, this is not the average threat. You have said in your thinking about this case, reminds you of Chris Attorney Dorner, in the West Coast, L.A., highly trained, highly deranged and capable of more violence, tell us.</s>TOM FUENTES, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: That's right, Chris, and I think in the Dorner case, he abandoned his vehicle in the San Bernardino Mountains and the authorities thought well maybe he's fled the state. He could be in Mexico because the search for him went on and on for several days. Well, it turns out he never really left the area. And my fear, and concerns raised at that time as this time, are that the subject may do a home invasion. He may go into somebody's house, and if it's unoccupied, just you know look for food and shelter in that location or if it is occupied, take hostages. And you know, we don't know if he fled the area. If he was able to steal another car or do a carjacking, you know, originally after he shot the officers or whether he is still there or still on foot in the woods. So he is, he is armed, dangerous and very good possibility in that area.</s>CUOMO: And so there are two key components here. There are his capabilities and then there is the issue of what his motivation is. And as often as we can you see his picture behind me, we should have his picture up. Because the people who probably give some leads here. So want to keep the picture up of Frein as much as we can. Tom, let's start with the first one. What are his capabilities, what does that mean in terms of potential weaponry and skill level?</s>FUENTES: We know at least he has two weapons from the statements of the father. He has the .308 sniper rifle he used to kill the officer and believed to have also have an AK-47. We don't know how much ammunition. We don't know if he had another vehicle, he obviously planned this attack. It wasn't a spontaneous killing like at a traffic stop or something like that. An unexpected encounter with a police officer. He ambushed them. He was there at that time, at shift change at 11:00 at night Friday night. So this was something he planned to some extent. We don't know to what extent. Did he have another vehicle parked near where he buried the car in the pond or tried to hide the car? Does he have another driver's license or cash or credit cards or weapons, ammunition? That we don't know at this point of how far he went in his planning to do this event.</s>CUOMO: Troubling facts, he left his license and his social security cards in the car that he abandoned. Was that some message to let them know who he is or was it him just trying to make an escape? The father says he is an expert marksman that he never misses. That's very troubling for law enforcement especially when they're dealing with him in terrain where he is comfortable and law enforcement is not usually used to doing a manhunt in these types of rural environments. That takes us to the most troubling aspect, Tom. Motivation, what are we thinking here? Is this a mentally ill guy? Just a really bad guy? Does he have a specific grievance? What do we know?</s>FUENTES: It could be all of the about and we don't know specifically, you know what he's stated about anti-government thoughts. And you know, the most obvious sign of the government anywhere is a uniformed police officer. So that could have been the motivation. And not specifically hating the police, but just the police as a symbol of the government. You know, we had this militia case in 2010, the FBI had in Michigan, the Hooderie militia where their intent was to kill a police officer and ambush the police funeral parade and kill hundreds more in their mind. That's a possibility here. That maybe he left his license, not just so he got credit for this killing, but maybe he doesn't think he's going to go too far and he's going to die in a blaze of glory here at some point in the next few days.</s>CUOMO: Well, it's a mixed bag, right. The hope for law enforcement is that he doesn't take to deep flight. He does stay somewhat available. But of course that brings the risk of more bloodshed to the officers, they're the obvious target. Tom Fuentes, thank you very much for the analysis. Let us know what you learn on this as it goes forward. We'll stay on it.</s>FUENTES: Thank you, Chris.</s>CUOMO: Now you take a situation like Frein and you times it by 30,000 to 70,000 people. And you have what the concern is with ISIS. And I want you to hear the raw enthusiasm for terror that CNN has in this audio of a jihadist convincing others to join the cause. You're going to hear it for yourself and you'll get to judge what this threat is all about. Now, will the United Kingdom be a little bit less united tomorrow? This is really becoming something that could happen. Scotland is about to vote on independence. The numbers are very even, about people wanting it and not wanting it. Will that follow through at the polls? We'll take you through it.
