The video was supposed to show off captured intelligence.

SHOW TRANSCRIPT

The Department of Defense posted an Al Qaeda video that gave instructions for making explosives.

The U.S. military said it came from a recent raid at an AQAP headquarters in Yemen.

It was supposed to prove how important the captured intel was.

But there's one problem: It's a 10-year-old video.

The Department of Defense pulled the video shortly after its age was revealed.

The Yemen raid cost the lives of both civilians and a Navy SEAL.
