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.'

Thanks ! I needed a laugh while stressing over this..

[agooga]

Why do you suppose ABC sent the tape to HS at all? Why not wait til after the election?

Shall we all put on our pajamas?

It is a lot of work, but she is busy converting them one at a time, to conservatism. She said they don't read a lot of news and they aren't informed. I told her you have to read a lot of news sources, newspapers, internet, and listen to Radio and TV, and make an informed decision on what you believe to be true. Don't just take some candidate's word for ANYTHING! She said "I get all my news from you, Mom." I said "THAT WORKS FOR ME!"

Well Charles Bishop/Bishra made a threat against the Super Bowl game in 2002. Some may remember him as the Tampa teen (who was discribed by the MSM as a "young conservative", never substantiated) who crashed a stolen plane into a bank building in honor of Bin Laden. His suicide note (which included his threat against the SB) was not released for a month after his death.

Your affiliate is obviously not on the need to know list. Write them back tell the to look at Drudge and tell them to paint a big L on their anchors foreheads.

I wrote back and told them that ABC had now acknowledged that they had the tape and held it before turning it over to the government.

The way I see it is: if they attack us before or on Tuesday, then President Bush retains his seat in Office. No President can be pulled out of office in war time.

When our President wins for another 4 years, and they attack us after 2 November, then he will still be our President.

It's a no-win situation for the terrorists. President Bush will stay our President one way or the other. The best case is if he is overwhelmingly elected.

Scared the bejeepers outta me! SHeesh.....

Im right outside NYC and heard fighter jet around 5 am today. Hadnt heard one for months.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, I've added you. :^)

They are in effect saying we are going to hit you for what George Bush has done to us so if you don't want to be hit again then don't re-elect him.

That was my take as soon as I heard Rush report this. They are threatening us--put Bush back in office and we will strike in a way that will make 9/11 look like child's play.

I will not be threatened because I would rather die standing up for the freedom this country was founded on (although I am NOT in any hurry to depart this world and yes, it does scare me) than live in the fear that everytime we piss the terrorists off, they will attack us.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks! That makes a lot more sense.

[hflynn]

. . . . . . if you don't want to be hit again then don't re-elect him.

I can't believe your READING BETWEEN THE LINES leads you to conclude the terrorist are saying they will not attack us ever, ever, ever again if Kerry is elected.

READ THE LINES NOT BETWEEN THE LINES.

[conservativepoet]

But doesn't the MSM show AL-Jezeera stuff all the time without knowing if the tape's authentic? They trust this Middle Eastern station all the time.

[An American In Dairyland]

Hasn't anyone wondered how DRUDGE was able to "quote" certain things said on that tape? Does he have an entire copy? It's curious.

Maybe he has a "mole" at ABC.

[prairiebreeze]

As far as I'm reading on this thread, and I'm hitting and missing with that, the bigger question is why did ABC hold on to the tape for at least a couple or few days before they turned it over to the government.

There is NO excuse for that.

[HereComesTheGOP]

yeah, i forgot to add that was a response to an msnBS report, the one i saw was on msnBS naturally

[thingumbob]

ABC's new programing schedule........

[San Jacinto]

The fact that this tape came out now via ABC shows ABC is not CBS or NBC.

Where do you get that? ABC is sitting on the tape. They have been outed by Drudge. Otherwise, we would no nothing of it.

[Colofornian]

Your post gives me chills and makes sense.

Even more chlling is the thought of simultaneous attacks in cities in Ohio, Florida, Texas, and elsewhere.

And we thought Halloween was scary!
