:01:37. > :01:42.race in across the sky. The images coming in. The question, did the
:01:43. > :01:48.airstrikes stop a 9/11 plot targeting America? Did they make
:01:49. > :01:56.bombs that could pass security and onto headed for America? Good
:01:57. > :02:01.evening. The airstrikes might have stopped what was Al Qaeda's 9/11
:02:02. > :02:05.attack on the US described by officials today as a bold and
:02:06. > :02:17.imminent plot that could have reached American passenger jets. The
:02:18. > :02:20.concern was so great that the US dedicated 822 airstrikes against the
:02:21. > :02:26.Syrian base of the special group outside the city of Aleppo. The
:02:27. > :02:31.group was nearing the execution phase of the attack. Three factors
:02:32. > :02:37.emerged about why this group is considered so dangerous. It is made
:02:38. > :02:43.up of 50 seasoned Al Qaeda fighters, many who were close to
:02:44. > :02:48.Osama Bill Martin. The bombs were undetectable `` Osama Bin Laden.
:02:49. > :02:51.Among the targets, passenger jets bound for the US using Western

:03:27. > :03:31.group's existence as a state secret until the President spoke of it
:03:32. > :03:34.today. Last night we disrupted plotting against the United States
:03:35. > :03:39.by seasoned Al Qaeda operatives in Syria who are known as the Khorasan
:03:40. > :03:43.group. The Khorasan group leader is this man, a one`time confidant of
:03:44. > :03:50.Ossama Bin Laden, sent by Al Qaeda leaders. Officials said most of the
:03:51. > :03:55.men involved in the plot and Pahang `` haps him were killed. Those
:03:56. > :04:04.plotting and planning have been eliminated. That was alarming. Was
:04:05. > :04:09.the leader taken out? Officials say that they don't know yet. The plot

:06:15. > :06:19.damage assessment of its bombing and says so far the strikes were very
:06:20. > :06:24.successful. There was minimal collateral damage and they say they
:06:25. > :06:28.aren't aware of civilian deaths. The Pentagon acknowledged this campaign
:06:29. > :06:33.against ISIS could take years and with no ground troops, the targeting
:06:34. > :06:34.could become more difficult as the ISIS fighters blend in with the
:06:35. > :06:46.population. To a massive heist in San Francisco,
:06:47. > :06:52.a new surveillance tape shows the lightning fast these. They tore the
