This would be their first choice on the west coast in Century City because it is like the original twin towers.

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.'

Don't get scared.We ARE talking about my WIFES description :D
I was reading this thread when they came on with the emergency alert and it gave me an eerie feeling. Thanks for the info on when they normally test this alert system. : )
Even more chlling is the thought of simultaneous attacks in cities in Ohio, Florida, Texas, and elsewhere.

Especially here in Toledo. President Bush will be here Friday, and Sean Hannity will be here Sunday.
I know that well. There is a new one (over one yr old) in Austin.
I do agree that we have been subjected to terrorism since 9/11/2001:
- Anthrax attacks (within days of 9/11)
- Plane blows up on take off (indeterminate, some don't buy explanation)
- The Shoe Bomber (caught in the act of trying to blow up a plane in flight)
- Charles Bishop/Bishra the Tampa Teen Kamikaze
- The LAX Air Israel counter shooting.
- The DC Sniper Duo
- The plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge (stopped courtesy of the Patriot Act)
- The Dirty Bomb plot (stopped)
Also have a rash of unsolved murdered/dead genetic scientists (domestic and international events).
Also have a bunch of civilians kidnapped and tortured/murdered in Islamic prayer snuff videos shot in Iraq. The world seems to have forgotten that Islamonazis have shot these videos in other nations in the past; the technique is NOT new.
You are right! We were attacked many times before Bush ever ran for office. First attack on WTC was 1993. Good point you made!
'Something is coming down?'
sure feels that way. Hope it's US coming down on THEM.
What?
I saw that, that's the first time I have seen a public emergency test since right after 9/11. Something is up out there.
At the very least, Halloween Trick-or-treating should be cancelled.
Several million kids and adults on the streets, after dark, all over the country, and almost all in some sort of bloody disguise, is just not a good idea.
Yep. Hate to get all Bubba on you but it depends on the meaning of "over the weekend".....;-)
Think about the Halperin memo.
Our Government can't pull him out of office in time of war. Unlike other Countries, it's in our Constitution, although don't ask me where.
There was one President, Roosevelt? Truman? War was declared and he sat in his seat for years. I can't remember which President it was.
That's right DU! Hold onto your britches....
It gets BUMPY from here!!!
'America will mourn in silence'-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a strange quote.
Since the bad guys are talking
of a large scale hit,
"silence" hints of an
electromagnetic pulse
which would disable
communications.
If terrorists have acquired
say, half a dozen
nuke-armed cruise missles
and detonate them across
the United States,
the whole country, then,
would be isolated and
we'd "mourn in silence"
because we'd have lost
the communication links
we take for granted.
We take EVERY threat serious in this country (just make a bomb joke at an airport, even in the pre-9/11 days).
Al Quaeda has not the ability to attack the US ala the Spain attack, so they release another lame video....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
From post: "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. "
"If" this statement is on the tape - This statement from the guy seems to indicate the result of this election - (electing George Bush and after Taliban is gone) - so it can't be about the 2000 election.
Could this be a "scare tactic" and is it really saying - "IF" you elect President Bush - this is what you can expect - (putting this out maybe just to scare - intimidate)
Why have it come out "before" the election even takes place - ?
I mean if the station runs the tape before the vote - and that statement is indeed in there - What might happen?
And if this statement is indeed on the tape - What are the other station doing by releasing the info - "before the election" - and before anyone even confirms the message ? Isn't everyone jumping the gun - and doing for the terrorist what was planned - - ?
"If" the statement is indeed on the tape - What does this say about Kerry's side - Are the terrorists saying they are counting on Kerry "not" going after the terrorist if he is elected - ?
ABC - and the stations - and the citizens don't know what the CIA, etc. may have - Which could go to determining if this was even possible by the terrorist -
A bit early to get too deeply into the issue without all the information -
in my opinion -
Did icecold ever make a second post to this thread?
