Morning Security Brief: Al Qaeda Video 04/17/2014

By Mark Tarallo
► A new video that has shown up on jihadist websites shows what looks to be the largest gathering of al Qaeda in years, CNN reported on Wednesday. In the middle of the clip, the man considered al Qaeda's crown prince, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, appears to be addressing a group of more than 100 fighters somewhere within Yemen. Al-Wuhayshi, known the No. 2 leader of al Qaeda globally, calls for going after the United States, saying "We must eliminate the cross. ... The bearer of the cross is America!" U.S. officials believe the highly produced video is recent, and authentic, and there is some concern that it signals a new round of plotting, according to CNN.
