Brussels Attacks

The manhunt continues for the five terrorists authorities have identified as playing a part in Tuesday's terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium, that killed 31 people and injured 270.

Meanwhile officials say this morning that the Islamic State group has trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe in deadly waves of attacks, deploying interlocking terror cells like the ones that struck Brussels and Paris with orders to choose the time, place and method for maximum carnage.

We discuss the attacks with Nancy Soderberg, former ambassador and deputy national security advisor to President Clinton.
