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.

CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley and CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips report from Manchester.
