WASHINGTON — A video has surfaced showing the suspect in an attempted Christmas Day airplane bombing training with al-Qaeda in Yemen.
The video, obtained and broadcast Monday by “ABC World News,” shows Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, firing weapons and speaking in Arabic about his impending attack. He is shown reading from the Koran and saying, “God said those who punish you must be punished.”
A U.S. intelligence official said Monday that the preliminary judgment is that it is Abdulmutallab in the video. It is not clear where and when the video was made. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
