The video clips released by the U.S. military on Friday as proof of the intelligence collected during the Yemen raid have been taken down after reports surfaced that they had actually been online for about a decade.
The clips, which are excerpts from longer videos, were released by the U.S. Central Command to show that the raid against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which took the life of a U.S. Navy SEAL, successfully accomplished its objective of retrieving “actionable intelligence” to thwart further attacks by the al Qaeda-linked group.
