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.'

I live in Long Beach harbor, there are cost guard all over he place. Right now there are a bunch of ships backed up waiting to get into port, the myth that the ports are unguarded is a joke. Each ship holds hundreds of containers, there is no way you could check evry one of them.
The account says it was FOUND IN PAKISTAN and no one knew how long it had been there(wherever there is).
Not hardly. The tape refers to 9/11. See this thread.
The sky was so clear. There were absolutely no jet trails anywhere. It was silent.----and my husband was stuck in the woods in California at a wildland fire site and I had absolutely no idea how he was going to get home...and I was scared but glad he was in a safe place....
Hannity is talking about it now...
Sean Hannity is now reporting on it!!
It was like planes had never been invented.
Possible, of course. The part Drudge said that was on the Al Qaeda video is that we Americans "would not be able to count our dead."
That could because the scenario Al Qaeda has in mind is not simply the dead being innumberable, but simply because access would be denied due to the radiation inherent in the attack. Therefore, an East Coast harbor ship-based, or Long Beach, CA harbor attack is already on our feds' security folks' top-o-the-to-do-list marked "Areas we need to shore up security."
I agree. If they win this way, albeit I don't think the American people would allow it, but if they do, it's the end of the electoral process, and probably America as we know it. Here comes socialism, if he wins by those means. Like I said though, I don't believe the American people would stand fopr it. I know I won't!
same way I did. Neither one of us was in Pakistan.
: )
sKerry's town is probably the SAFEST town in the US
So it could still could be authentic?
MAKING WAR ON AL QAIDA!!!!! ?????? IS THIS A THREAT THAT
if we vote for George W. Bush, they are going to GET us???
THIS IS JUST MAKING ME MADDER, AND I WAS ALREADY PLENTY
MAD!!! and any attack may be MET WITH SILENCE - - - BUT
A SILENCE BEFORE THE STORM!!!!!!
Of course
It does not matter when this tape was made. The issue of terrorism will be back front and center for the next few days and that issue overwhelmingly favors W!
Bump to keep up.
Pardon the spelling I am on the phone.
Hannity said that he has spoke with someone who heard the tape and said it was "chilling"
God help us, John.
"Just saw "Mosh" Eminem - made me cry
So unbelievably powerful. Every young American should see it before they vote."
God help us, John.
This is how they get tapes out - by leaving them where they will be "found" - not just laying around in someones living room......and it's too election specific
