5/23: CBS Evening News
Investigation into Manchester attack continues as terror threat level increased; Vigil of peace after Manchester attack shows diversity makes community stronger
Vigil of peace
ISIS wants to set the world on fire, and it wants Christianity to declare war on Islam. What was apparent following the attack in Manchester was quite different. It was a union of people in a peaceful vigil who were black and white and brown -- Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Hindu and Sikh. Scott Pelley reports.
Security level raised
Within minutes of the attack in Manchester, New York City police dispatched heavy weapons teams to high profile locations like Madison Square Garden. In Dallas, police also made a show of force at a John Legend concert. Jeff Pegues reports on why large public gatherings are so difficult to protect.
Taxi driver helps concertgoers
Right after the blast, taxi driver Saf Ismail drove into the chaos in Manchester to pick people up and get them to safety. He brought three groups of girls away from the scene and out of danger, until police wouldn't let him near the site anymore. Jonathan Vigliotti reports.
Terror threat concerns
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Manchester terror attack, but its connection to the bomber is unclear. Security analyst Robin Simcox from the Heritage Foundation joins CBSN to discuss the credibility of that claim, and the ongoing terror threat in Europe.
Suicide bomber at UK concert ID'ed
Police have identified the suicide bomber at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England as Salman Abedi, 23. ISIS claimed responsibility for the explosion that happened at the end of Monday night's concert. At least 22 people have died, and 59 others were wounded. CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley and CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips report from Manchester.
Fight for Mosul
After seven months of fighting, Iraqi troops -- backed by the U.S. in an attempt to defeat ISIS -- have taken almost all of the neighborhoods in Iraq's second largest city. Troops are engaging in a building-by-building fight in the last few extremist-controlled neighborhoods of Mosul. Charlie D'Agata reports.
Iraqi forces close in on Mosul
U.S.-backed Iraqi forces in Mosul are closing in on the last neighborhoods still under ISIS control. The fighters are preparing for the final battle to retake control of the city captured by ISIS militants in 2014. Charlie D'Agata reports from western Mosul.
ISIS' bomb-making research
The classified intelligence President Trump divulged to the Russians involved ISIS plans to bring down jetliners by hiding bombs in laptop computers. It's long been believed that Mosul University was the center of the militants' bomb-making projects. Charlie D'Agata reports.
Raqqa refugees
In Syria, U.S. backed forces are closing in on Raqqa, the ISIS capital. Families by the hundreds are fleeing ahead of the battle. Holly Williams reports.
U.S. weapons boost ISIS fight
CBS News correspondent Holly Williams is on the front line near Raqqa, Syria, where Kurdish fighters are squeezing ISIS in their last stronghold -- with U.S.-supplied weapons. While their benefit in the fight is indisputable, a key U.S. ally is furious over the weapons handed to a group it considers terrorists.

Assad strengthens hold in Syria
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces are consolidating control of major cities after an agreement has allowed some rebel fighters to leave. A destroyed neighborhood in Homs was once a rebel-stronghold, but now some in the opposition are giving up. Seth Doane reports from Syria.
Classified info exposed by Trump?
A stunning Washington Post report claims President Trump may have revealed highly-classified information to Russia. Its sources allege the president revealed intelligence about ISIS developing bombs in laptop computers. Despite White House denials, sources tell CBS News "something inappropriate" was discussed. Jeff Pegues reports.
ISIS wives going home
In Iraq and Syria, ISIS loses ground by the day to forces backed by the U.S. Now, hundreds of young women who went there to marry ISIS fighters are desperate to go home to Europe. Holly Williams offers a rare look at their perilous journey.
VICE News on Iraqi forces fighting ISIS
As U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq, ISIS fighters appear to be ramping up operations. VICE News recently explored the volatile situation on the ground where Iraqi security forces have launched raids and patrols, cracking down on sleeper cells and undercover operations.
