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.'

The campaign has swallowed us all up, it is all we think about. At least me. I get on the puter morning and nite, during work.

Don't worry. I've done that twice in the past (last election & 9/11) and once it's over, you're thankful and things get back to normal pretty quickly.

I would like to know why they (terrorists) believe an ABC reporter in Pakistan is the best method to use to get their message out.

Obviously it wasn't because ABC sat on it!

The thought of a Beslan-like attack here is terrifying

Not to mention the fact that A LOT of voting places are located inside grammar and middle schools...

Then think of what will happen to them, here. Do they think murder, jack-booted thuggery and mayhem insures their saftey? Who do they think we are, the French?

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

Interesting. In the skies over Chicagoland, one can see about a dozen of them during the course of a day. (at cruising altitude of course) I think increased air patrols over U.S. skies are a result of 9/11. Hopefully they are our pilots, and not NATO's lol.

Another possibility. This tape has been around for a while. I heard the "blood running in the streets" thing months ago.

ABC trots it out, in an effort to get the public's mind off the LOST EXPLOSIVES fiasco for CBS and KERRY.

"What's the odds ABC has not and has no intentions of releasing this video to Homeland Security Department?"
"Why don't you read the article before posting such an inflamatory statement?"

The first statement is not my post. That is what someone else posted, not me. Read before you flame.

I'm realizing we conservatives have NO power.

That's right sunshine. If ever there was a time to make a statement... and I'm not talking about editorials or passive, protest marches... that time is now!

No activity here. I live near a nuke plant and a Naval Air Station.

Doesn't matter if it was AQ or not.
Terrorists are terrorists - only their religion remains the same.

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.

See BS and N BS rushed out stories to discredit Bush (60 Minutes FAKE document story and N BS's Kitty Kelly book saying Bush was a coke addict)

Now A BS is holding a story that would certainly give Bush some votes from last minute undecideds.

Pretty clear to me.

The Democrats response to this story?: Bush was holding this himself until now to get that boost. Or something like that. They'll blame Bush someway .....

antceecee, it's routine. Last Wed. in October, each year.

But listening to it, while I was reading this thread just about gave me a heart attack. And I knew in advance that it was going to sound!
