XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED OCT 27, 2004 12:42:01 ET XXXXX

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.'

"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."

HUM.....

I wonder why ABC would not run this? Does it make it seem as though the terrorist wuld rather have Kerry for President?

ABC should be ashamed!

Like the tape was made "in case" W is elected and it got leaked too soon.

Or to scare W voters away before the election.

My real guess is this American Terrorist is the backup/backup/backup. He makes a video, sends it out, based on instructions from a year ago. Doesn't mean there are piles of terrorists waiting in the lobby to see you.

What many don't realize is that we have been undergoing terrorist attacks almost daily.

A week or two ago, the INTERNET was attacked, shutting down access to many websites for most of the day.

The DOD has been attacked daily for years and years. Due to the type of attack they started using, we were able to devise a strategy to locate and isolate attacks, keeping damage to a minimum.

People don't realize how extensively the INTERNET is used.

CyberHacker Terrorists (again, Saddam and other mideast rulers made a priority of hiring hackers,having them trained in the US, then sent back to their home, to be ready for this. No link to the terrorists, MY ASS.) could shutdown our nation's electrical grid for six months. Same with water. Same with communications between DOD/Pentagon and Military in the field. Same with communications from/to the WHITEHOUSE and all other gov't agencies.

We have been working on this to minimize the downtime they could cause, and their ability to cause it.

Oh stop! Do you really thing that they don't have cell phones, or laptops in Pakistan? They are saying THEY obtained it in Pakistan, don't you think that if they made a call the FEDS or HS would have met them at the airport?
Plus if I am making an assumption that the MSM lies, I am only going on history.

I seems to me that the wording is important. "Holding onto", "held for 3-4 days". My guess is that we are being told that ABC did just that. If ABC had turned it over immediatly the wording would have been just "turned over to". IMHO I think we are being told something.

ABC needs to be taken down over this; holding onto a tape having to do with national security is a serious matter.

OK. That is what I was hoping for. We certainly won't being hearing much about 380 tons of explosives or national guard crappola.

I don't remember the name but I remember the thread. A warning tape and another right before the event to have press coverage. You are right.
