The video is chilling.
The "Underwear Bomber," Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, is shown jumping from a moving vehicle and firing a weapon in Yemen. Other clips and photos show him at a terror training camp in the months before he tried to blow up a plane with close to 300 passengers as it prepared for landing in Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
Andy Arena ran the FBI in Detroit at the time. He said the video matches up with the intelligence from the confession.
"He talked about training and who he met. We knew from a 3-month period he was moved from training site to training site, to safe house to safe house," said Arena.
Arena said the video offers little, if any, new information for investigators and is more likely an attempt to recruit new members to terror organizations. He said we should flip the script and use the video to dissuade participation.
"When a video like this comes out people in the community should be talking about this, how crazy this is. You're not doing this for God. You are doing this for evil," said Arena.
He said back in 2009 terrorists were recruited in person and trained in camps overseas. Today they are recruited and trained right on the Internet.
"He was actually indoctrinated on site. Most people in this country are radicalized online, looking online to get ideas and then going out and doing it themselves," he said.
That makes the threats today much more difficult to combat than when the Underwear Bomber failed in his terror mission in the skies over metro Detroit.
Abdulmutallab is serving four life sentences. He has been extremely cooperative in providing information on terror camps and organizers while he sits behind bars.
