In a dramatic raid in Syria that President Biden approved, U.S. special operations forces conducted a nighttime mission to take out the Islamic State’s leader. After a shootout between an ISIS lieutenant and U.S. forces, the IS leader detonated what is believed to be an explosive vest killing himself and his own family. Gordon Lubold, WH and national security reporter at the WSJ, joins us for how the operation went down.
Next, we are learning more about the mysterious ‘Havana syndrome’ after a panel of experts determined that an external energy source could be behind the symptoms affecting U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers abroad. No device or country has been identified as being behind it, but the experts said the pulsed electromagnetic energy could come from a portable device. Shane Harris, national security reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for more.
Finally, as the Winter Olympics get under way a lot of focus will be on the venues and snow needed for some 66 medal events that require it. All of the snow for the Games will be completely man-made using special snow guns that use specific air and water ratios to make the perfect snow for each event. Bonnie Berkowitz, reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for how they make a bulletproof downhill course.
