Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula released a videotape showing Umar al Farouk Abdulmutallab, the failed Christmas Day airline bomber; Uthman al Ghamdi, a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay; and Fahd al Quso, an operative in the USS Cole bombing. AQAP blamed the US for conducting airstrikes in Yemen.
