Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is again talking to investigators. U.S. officials say they have new information about potential threats from the lone suspect in the botched bomb attack Christmas Day.
Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence said, "We got good intelligence. We're getting more."
Officials were asked, what's the likelihood terrorists will try again soon?
All of them agree that an attempted attack within the next year is certain.
Sources say Abdulmutallab started talking again about his training and contacts in Yemen after FBI agents brought family members from Nigeria to the U.S.
Here for his arraignment, they persuaded the suspect to cooperate.
Facing criticism that the FBI missed chances for more information sooner by reading Abdulmutallab his right to remain silent, FBI Director Bob Mueller said it's not true.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein asked, "The interrogation continues despite the fact that he has been Mirandized?"
Mueller replied, "Yes."
Also today, Iran launched a rocket capable of carrying satellites into space.
It's technology that could be used to launch warheads, which U.S. officials say, is an ongoing concern.
"Tehran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons," said Blair.
Iran says it has no plans to do so.
