(CNN) -- The man who pleaded guilty in the failed Times Square car bombing said before the incident that the strike would be a "revenge attack," according to an airing Wednesday on an Arabic-language TV network.
Al Arabiya showed what it said was a tape of Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad, who pleaded guilty in June to the attempt.
The authenticity of the tape could not immediately be verified, and the person in the video appeared sometime before the May 1 event. CNN translated comments from the tape, which itself was a translation from English to Arabic.
