Who can put bombs on to planes that cant be detected. >> reporter: that bomb maker, ibrahim al asiri, is bleached to be responsible for several attempts against the u.s., including the failed 2009 christmas day underwear bomber attack. he is not seen in the video, which eamerican emerged on jihadist websites. intelligence experts say he and other aqap leaders have gone back to using couriers to communicate to avoid detection, making it even harder to figure out what wahishi may be up to next. >>...

Shouting. this was delayed. these fed up families, you see them here? they stormed out of this briefing. what are the challenges here? earlier the head said the sonar device will help move the searchers step further but he stopped short of pinning all hopes on the suv. >> i would caution you that the deployment will result in the detection of aircraft wreckage. however, this is the best lead we have and it must be pursued vigorously. >> she is back on a boat for this live demonstration of the so...

Considered the most dangerous al qaeda affiliate. the cia and the pentagon have repeatedly killed aqap leaders with drone strikes, but the group now emboldened. >> the main problem about this group is that it has a bomb maker who can put bombs on to planes that cant be detected. >> reporter: that bomb maker, inham al asiri is believed to be responsible for several attempts against the u.s., including the failed 2009 christmas day underwear bomber attack. he is not seen in the video, which emerge...

Maximum operating depth of 4500 meters. thats what happened in this case. the charted depth is between 4200 to 4400 meters in that rectangle that it is searching. we hit a deeper spot that when initially planned. we have to bring it up, reprogram it, shift away from that deeper area and adjust the search pattern. >> the bluefin is being used in the most-likely spot. what makes that the most-likely spot? is there other data that is pointing to that particular location? >> the information that tel...

We have and must be pursued vigorously. again, i emphasize that this will be a slow and painstaking process. in another development, i can report "ocean shield" detected an oil slick yesterday evening in her current search area. a sample of about two liters has been collected and it will be a number of days before it can be landed ashore and conclusively tested. i stress the source of the oil is yet to be determined but the oil slick is approximately 5,500 meters downwind from the detection pick...

Further step towards visual identification, since it offers a possible opportunity to detect debris from the aircraft on the ocean floor. i would caution you against raising hopes that the deployment of the autonomous underwater vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. it may not. however, this is the best lead we have and it must be pursued vigorously. >> it is a tedious process, too, as angus houston was cautioning people. its a 24-hour effort to get this thing down, 2 ho...

He joins us live via skype. thank you for speaking with us at cnn. we always appreciate it. i would be interested to get what you took away from the latest update we received from angus houston. >> reporter: well, the update was expected because it was quite clear that the battery life had been exhausted and there had been no more detection since last tuesday so that was to be expected that it would be launched. what was really interesting was the oil find. that could be one of two things. eithe...

Hours to return, and four hours to down load images which are high resolution image of the area searching 4.500 meters. so that is about 2.8 miles underwater. and the terrain is very difficult. its an area that is, he says quote new to man. its flat and rolling. a lot of silt on the bottom. it can be layered and very teep which will complicate the search. it is a final step towards making a visual determination. said they have not heard a detection from the pinger since tuesday. is six days now....

This new strategy will likely drag out the search a lot longer. this bluefin-21 submarine takes six times to search as the towed pinger locater. today the sub can only carry an area of about 15 square miles which is about 7,200 football fields meaning the scan of the entire search area which is the size of los angeles could take up to two months. >> the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle has the potential to take us a further step towards visual identification since it offers a pos...

Detection in six days. so i guess its time to go underwater. our concept always was, if we did get an area that we can identify from an acoustic search, that eventually we would go underwater. thats why the "ocean shield" is carrying the towed pinger that was to get the initial detections and then to use the autonomous underwater vehicle to go down and investigate what might have happened. now, where the transmission might be coming from. now, you might recall that one of those transmissions tha...
