JOHN KIRBY, PENTAGON PRESS SECRETARY: They lost a planner and they lost a facilitator and that got one wounded. WALLACE (voice-over): But warnings the threat is far from over. JEN PSAKI, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: Our troops are still in danger, that continues to be the case every day that they are there. WALLACE: With the clock ticking down, what does it mean for the security of our troops and civilians looking to get out of harm's way? We'll ask White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan about the situation on the ground and the danger in the final days of the mission.

Paris terror attacks suspect charged in shootout before Brussels bombings - Drone manufacturers combat growing terror threat

Paris terror attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has been charged over a deadly shootout with police days before the Brussels bombings. One Islamist suspect was killed and four police were wounded in a gun battle at an apartment in the Forest district of Brussels on March 15. The raid came three days before Abdeslam was arrested and a week before the Brussels attacks on 22 March. Abdeslam's lawyer Sven Mary told AFP: "He has been charged with attempted murder either alone or jointly." Abdeslam is due to be extradited to France in the coming days to face charges over last November's attacks in Paris.


TECH WAR: Drone manufacturers work to combat growing terror threat

FOX News

Terrorists and drone manufacturers are locked in a high-stakes technology war, with jihadis trying to transform unmanned aerial vehicles into flying weapons and drone companies working to thwart the Islamists, experts told FoxNews.com. The conflict came to the forefront this week after a drone collided with a British Airways flight landing at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday afternoon. Although no one was hurt and officials have not called the incident an act of terrorism, the following day, SITE Intelligence Group reported that terrorists were using a secure messaging app to encourage the use of drones to take out commercial planes. But Adam Lisberg, the corporate communications director of Drone giant DJI Technology, told FoxNews.com a drone-on-plane attack is just a terrorist delusion. "It would be like trying to hit a bullet with a bullet," Lisberg said.
