members of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula are shown on the tape, embracing their leader, nasir al-wuhayshi. his message is a familiar pledge to strike america. analysts are surprised that al qaeda's second most powerful leader would stage such a brazen really in a region watched by intelligence agencies and frequently hit by u.s. drone strikes. while the tape does not openly suggest an imminent attack, some of the militants' faces have been blurred. the worry is those anonymous terrorists they have some particular value in a future plot. a.q.a.p. continues to be al qaeda's most dangerous and capable franchise. the yemen-based group was behind two underwear bomb plots, a foiled attack in 2010 to bomb two cargo planes with explosives concealed in computer printers. u.s. intelligence first became aware of this new video a couple of weeks ago when it was posted on jihadi web sites, but, scott, the c.i.a. will not tell us if it knew of the meeting when it happened. >> pelley: bob orr in our washington newsroom. bob, thanks very much. today, students returned to franklin regional high school out

this includes nasir al-wuhayshi, the leader.is leaves the question of whether or not the u.s. couldn't get a drone here in time. what do you believe this says about al-qaeda? >> well, first of all this administration tried to tell us al-qaeda was destroyed. then they said no, it is just al-qaeda core in pakistan. we have to be concerned about these affiliates. i spent time in that region, including yemen. we're seeing a coalescing of these places, not only in iraq but syria, and sooner or later if they get stronger they will be a direct threat to the united states of america. >> and how did this bubble up without our knowledge? >> well, i can't answer that question because i don't know the intelligence that has been provided to this administration, whether this has been known or not known. so we can only speculate that while this has remained classified. i don't think it is a secret to people who have the proper clearances. the question is why didn't we know, the question is what are we going to do about it? >> and what would yo

and the factfact that al wuhayshi exposed himself in the video shows confidence they have. i'm not sure what his motivations are. we can speculate the fact that al qaeda, lou really increased influence and control over territory at large in northeast africa, speaks to confidence seeing in the video. secondly, may possibly be that the leader here wants to gain a stronger position inside of the al qaeda movement. after all, zawahiri who is the head of al qaeda after usama bin laden was killed, is a recluse essentially hiding from the united states and its weapons in pakistan, possibly in the mountains, not really doing much of anything. certainly not exposed on a video. that possible explanation nation for what has taken place. you noted they're shielding some of the spaces. some of our intel folks believe they're europeans or westerners and they need return to those communities after they have been properly trained. lou: general as always, thank you so much. general jack keane. >> good talking to you as always. lou: thank you, general. time for a look at last night's online

because the top leader, nasir al-wuhayshi, is greeting several men that al-qaeda broke out of prison are free. and he is trying to recruit them into his movement even further. so they believe it was actually in the last several weeks because of that tie to the prison breakout. >> do we know how many assets or what sort of intelligence we actually have about these groups in yemen? i mean, was the u.s. aware of this gathering? >> well, this is the absolute critical question right now. did the u.s. know about it, or is the intelligence about yemen right now so spotty that they did not know? one of the things that concerns the cia, the white house, the pentagon the most is this al-qaeda group has gone underground in its communications to a large extent. they are staying off the internet. they're staying off cell phones. they have gone back to using couriers a good deal because they are afraid of u.s. surveillance of the u.s. intercepting their communications. so this sort of going dark, if you will, is one of the big concerns that the u.s. may not know as much as it wants to about what t
