[Blackwell:] Breaking news in San Bernardino where investigators had been searching a lake for several days now. They've been hoping to find evidence left by the two killers who committed last week's terror attacks.
[Paul:] CNN's Ana Cabrera joins us on the phone now. Ana, what are you learning today that may have possibly been found?
[Ana Cabrera, Cnn Correspondent:] Christi and Victor, I spoke with an FBI spokesperson here who tells me they did indeed find items in the lake in their search over the last day and a half or so. But she isn't able to confirm at this time whether those items are actually related to this case. She cautioned that, you know, typically when divers search a public lake they find all kinds of different items. And they obviously would err on the side of caution of taking items out that could possibly be linked to the case. But it requires further investigation to determine if that is indeed the case. So right now I can tell you investigators are back on scene this morning. And they are gearing up to go back into the water. We've seen them here since Thursday afternoon when they began the lake search and telling reporters that they had received a couple of tips that the shooters were in this area on the day of the shooting. And so that has led them to canvassing the neighborhood, canvassing the surrounding park, and now they are going through the lake bit by bit. They said they'll leave no stone unturned as they search for any kind of evidence that could be related to this investigation. We know they are looking for that hard drive. That has been missing from the couple's computer, and that could be a key piece of evidence. But they're still trying to piece together who kind of con tacks or who their connections may be with from these killers or perhaps other terrorists here in the U.S. or overseas. They're trying to put that all together still as they continue with this very massive investigation, Christi and Victor.
[Blackwell:] Very complex in not only who they communicated with but when those communications were exchanged. Ana Cabrera there for us in San Bernardino. Ana, thank you so much.
[Paul:] Let's talk to CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen. Peter, we know they were looking, as she mentioned, for that hard drive. We know that they have collected some items. How soon before they may make some of that information public?
[Peter Bergen, Cnn National Security Analyst:] I'm not certain because, obviously, if it's been at the bottom of the lake for some period of time, obviously whatever has been recovered, if it is related to the case, it's going to be quite damaged. Now, that said, the FBI unit at Quantico that works on electronics and computers can really work miracles. An example of this was the Mumbai attacks of 2008 in which 166 people were killed, the attackers left a GPS on a boat that they were taking between Pakistan and India. And the FBI was able to find a ghost image to show that the boat originated in Karachi, Pakistan, and gone across the ocean to Mumbai, which obviously was a very important piece of the investigation. So it's not clear how long it will take. But clearly the FBI has great capacity to find what's on those computers. Of course, Christi, the big questions are who was Syed Farook reaching out to? We know that he was attempting to reach Shabaab in Somalia, Nusra, the Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria. And what exactly were the nature of his relationship with a cell of four men in California who were attempting to join Al Qaeda and the Taliban in 2012? Those are two very big investigative questions that we don't know the answers to yet.
[Paul:] That the hard drive may answer.
[Bergen:] Yes.
[Paul:] OK. I want to bring in other breaking news here and get your opinion on this. Swiss police officers arrested two terror suspects in Geneva. You know, we've heard about the U.K. We've heard about France. We've heard about even Italy possibly being a target for ISIS. But what if there is a terror cell in Switzerland?
[Bergen:] Well, certainly Switzerland has not been a hotbed of jihadist terrorism. But that said if you look at the big cases of either attacks or plots that have been inverted, all in Francophone countries. So for instance, France, we had the Paris attacks twice in the past year. In Belgium we had the big cell broken up in January. And now we have what looks like an ISIS cell in Geneva. The ISIS the public officials in Geneva said they are concerned about an ISIS cell. And Nic Robertson has just reported that these two men have been arrested with explosives traces in their car in Geneva, which of course is part of Francophone, Switzerland. So you're seeing that France has the largest number of foreign fighters going to Syria, more than 1,000. And obviously these people are very comfortable in Francophone environments. We don't know exactly who these people who were arrested yet are, but my guess is that they are Francophone they are people who have gone to Syria or are related to Syria, and that are part of the ISIS cell that Geneva authorities have said publicly that they are concerned was planning to strike.
[Paul:] so the fact that a cell has possibly made it to Switzerland, is that alarming to you in terms of how expansive ISIS may be at this point, more so than perhaps was ever estimated?
[Bergen:] Christi, We know that 90 countries have seen members or citizens go to Syria to fight with jihadi groups. In some cases, in Finland, we're talking about a couple dozen people, whatever. So it differs in scale. But the fact is there are Swiss nationals that have gone to Switzerland. And I think that, you know, the fact that I think the common link here is the ability to speak French and communicate in French, and it is not necessarily surprising that they were arrested in Geneva rather than say some other part of Switzerland which isn't a French speaking part of Switzerland.
[Blackwell:] Very good point. Peter Bergen, we so appreciate your insight, thank you for being here.
[Bergen:] Thank you.
[Blackwell:] Still to come, Americans are more fearful of a terrorist attack since any time since 911. What is the U.S. government doing to quell those fears? That's next.
