Washington, D.C. — The Pentagon has since pulled a video from their website they claimed was obtained in last week’s Yemen raid — after it was exposed to be vintage Al-Qaida footage that was made public a decade ago.
On Friday, the Pentagon posted the video to the Defense Video Imagery Distribution System (DVIDS) website in an attempt to justify the raid in Yemen that cost the life of one US Navy SEAL and several Yemeni civilians.
Following the release of the video, the mainstream media ran with it.
“The raid resulted in the seizure of materials and information that is yielding valuable intelligence to help partner nations deter and prevent future terror attacks in Yemen and across the world,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) declared in a statement.
Trump also hailed the raid as a succes and noted that “important intelligence” was obtained, which he said would “assist the US in preventing terrorism against its citizens and people around the world.”
Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis asserted that even though the video was a decade old and already public, that it was obtained in the raid, along with other intelligence the Pentagon was not able to release to the public.
