ABCNEWS HOLDS TERROR WARNING TAPE

**Exclusive**

In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding on a videotaped message from a purported al Qaeda terrorist warning of a new attack on America, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The terrorist claims on tape the next attack will dwarf 9/11. "The streets will run with blood," and "America will mourn in silence" because they will be unable to count the number of the dead. Further claims: America has brought this on itself for electing George Bush who has made war on Islam by destroying the Taliban and making war on Al Qaeda.

ABCNEWS strongly denies holding the tape back from broadcast over political concerns during the last days of the election.

The CIA is analyzing the tape, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

ABCNEWS obtained the tape from a source in Waziristan, Pakistan over the weekend, sources tells DRUDGE.

"We have been working 24 hours a day trying to authenticate [the tape]," a senior ABCNEWS source said Wednesday morning.

The terrorist's face is concealed by a head dress, and speaks in an American accent, making it difficult to identify the individual, but US intelligence officials believe that man may be Adam Gadhan - aka Adam Pearlman - a southern California native who was highlighted by the FBI in May as an individual most likely to be involved in or have knowledge of the next al Qaeda attacks.

According to the FBI, Gadahn, 25, attended al-Qaida training camps and served as an al-Qaida translator.

The disturbing tape runs an hour -- the man simply identifies himself as 'Assam the American.'

Actually seeing DU posters ask if they should be afraid is comforting. They are really human beings like us, and if some of them can see this as something to be worried about (we all have families) then imagine the effect on the rest of the country. No one wants to see 9/11 repeated here.

I'll say I am concerned deeply about this, especially if it as it appears to be, originates in America. This sort of thing trumps the election, and I think we all know that. We cannot allow ourselves to be bullied like Spain. We have the ability for massive retaliation - such as a nuclear strike on Mecca and Medina (not Medina, Ohio). Spain does not have that "luxury". Kerry is very anti0nuke and would never under any circumstances deploy nuclear weapons in a war. He has more or less said this. We need a President that is not going to take any response off the table. Our families depend on it.

My friend is only 7.5 weeks pregnant and just had ultrasound. You can see the baby's arms and legs clearly. I am getting more and more ANTI-abortion every day! I want to show the photos to my mother who is only against late term abortion. She thinks early in the pregnancy, the baby is just a blob of cells. This 7.5 week baby might change her opinion, I hope. Kerry has scared her into voting for him, she fears losing SS $ !

Good for you! I hear there are very high tech ultrasounds available now that give a 3D image, which are very revealing of the humanity of an in-womb baby. Might cost a little bit. Might be worth it if she is open minded.

Fox News at least should have something on their website. The MSM can't not report on this. They have to inform the public. NBC will be the first to air anything, is my prediction.

"the DUers are claiming the tape is a dirty trick by rove. we need more information." Yea, you know Rove with those connections in Pakistan.

I think they also complained the "Genius" secretly implanted Kerry with a flip-flop chip.

first, the tape is acquired. then it is viewed -- and rolled off for multiple copies. then it is shipped to the u.s. (which could have happened before it was duped, actually.)

Actually... most television news crews have the ability to send any tape footage to their network offices via satellite.

Perfect point.


"Oh yes they should feel very "safe" knowing Kerry cannot even manage to touch a dead goose let alone lead our country!"

That statement speaks volumes. When a DUmmies says that, its acknowledgment of the fact that a terror attack guarantees a Bush victory.

They should be scared, because their candidate does not believe that terrorism involving the United States is serious. If Kerry has his way, guys like Adam Pearlman (terrorist) won't be dealt with at all. We'll just ignore him and hope he goes away.

If for NO OTHER REASON, that is why they should vote for George Bush.

I am shocked that people genuinely don't seem to grasp this.

Even though the Kerry campaign is quick to play fast and loose with phrases like "nuisance" and "metaphor", you are absolutely correct. This is a very serious game with deadly consequences. If ABC held this, they should be shut down if not by the government at least by all viewers. I'd really like to know who their "source" is.

we have no reason to suppose at this point that abc has done anything wrong in its handling of this tape. we might find out in the future that they have, but to purport now that they have is to asuccumb to the worst kind of mob thinking.

I couldn't agree more. (And that isn't mob thinking, because the mob is obviously the ones 'over there' with the torches.)

Timeline: Drudge says ABD got it "over the weekend" which could mean anything from Friday night to Sunday night. Baier on FNC says that ABC gave it to the Feds "a day or so" ago which could mean anything from Tuesday to Monday. Factor in a day for transportation of the tape from Pakistan to the US and you could easily come up with the sceanrio that ABC in DC got possession of it Monday and gave it to the Feds also on Monday.

I'm not a fan of the MSM but calling this thing a "treasonous" act (as some are) is overstepping at this time.

I should mention that and see if that fuels their concerns. I rarely visit their website, but I must admit it was a little humorous to actually be able to tell that they are fearful....now they know how we feel at the mere thought of a Kerry election!

When they stopped the Millenium attack, it was an alert FBI guy who stopped the would be terrorist. My son's fiance is his niece and he called her house to tell her all about it. He wasn't alone in stopping the terrorist, but he was in the group who did. She said there have been many terrorist attacks that have been stopped before they happened. We don't hear about all of them on the news.

"Hah hah ... they announced the same thing decades ago too .."

Well this time maybe they made the announcement with some type of prior knowledge of an attack on U.S. soil, that could affect the dollar. That was the point I was trying to make with my post.
