REP. ADAM SCHIFF, (D-CA), RANKING MEMBER, HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: They're often intervening earlier than they might have otherwise to make sure they act before anyone acts out in a violent way. Certainly the volume of this problem is going up. At the same time, even though I think the volume of the al Qaeda threats has come down with our success in taking out leadership, I still am concerned about al Qaeda's desire to go after our aircraft and go after the big high-profile attack.</s>WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: And one final question before I let you go. The Afghan Intelligence Service apparently confirming that Mullah Mohammed Omar died two years ago, the former leader of the Taliban. Has U.S. intelligence also confirmed that?</s>SCHIFF: We have not confirmed that. It's something that I certainly have been talking with the intelligence agencies to get a sense of what our best dying many times over and it's possible this could be accurate. But I don't have the information at this time and, of course, the big question, Wolf, is if this does turn out to be true or if he is so incapacitated or isolated that he can't effectively deny the rumor, what's the impact on the nascent negotiation with the Afghan government as well as this risk that Taliban people leave and join ISIS. If he is dead or otherwise incapacitated, that may cause these Taliban to join</s>ISIS. BLITZER: Adam Schiff, the Congressman from California, the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, thanks very much. Up next, we'll get a different perspective, the Republican view of the Iran deal. The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ed Royce, is standing by. We'll discuss with him after the break.
