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.'

Additional quote was something along the lines of "this is where we are likely to stand," meaning nothing more than the current lack of authentication.

That's my question too. Since it can't be authenticated is it ignored or what?

Yes. . to die standing is preferable to living on one's
knees before cruel dictators.

I pray that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the
God of Jacob thwart their evil plans in the name of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Sean Hannity just indicated his source has seen the tape and it's one of the most chilling tapes you'll ever heard.

~chill brrrrrrr

Well, we have to remain tough. What else can we do? No mention of any location, no time.....nothing. We just have to hang tough.

Yes. I am trying to get the panickers to slow down a minute. ABC "had a copy", and the word HOLDS really meant "HAD A COPY". They DID NOT WITHHOLD this tape from the CIA/FBI/HS. Help me get this to the other posters, DRUDGE's IMPLICATION is FALSE.

Otherwise, we are being made fools of.

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

What is prominent about Al Qaeda is not simply that it's a terrorist group; but rather, a patient terrorist network w/grandiose, detailed operations.

Al Qaeda moves in a continuum of multiplied impact. Note that it went from attempting to blow up one of the Twin Towers on Clinton's watch to both towers plus the Pentagon and another prime target to boot years later. No, I don't think Al Qaeda's current plans are limited to simply buildings, anymore. They are bloodthirsty for entire cities; regions; economically they want to take us all down.

If y'all don't believe in a personal demonic entity, now's the time to reconsider. The original rebel, according to foremost authority Jesus Christ, comes to "kill, steal, and destroy." (Book of John). Jesus didn't add "destroy" to "kill" just to be redundant. The enemies of our souls are both flesh and blood (terrorists) as well as spiritual entities invisible to us (those the terrorists ultimately represent). Their mark is universally the same: They all come to "kill, steal, and destroy."

Just as the Messiah authenticated the One we don't see, our Father in heaven; the anti-christs represent the Hidden (Occultic) One. Please note, the apostle John didn't only talk about a forthcoming THE anti-Christ, he discussed anti-christs (plural): "...as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come." (1 John 2:18).

>>"The DUmmies are convinced it's a fake from Rove to sway the election."

You know what scares me about this? It means too many people are NOT taking the terrorists seriously. Have we as a society become so blasted dumbed down, or desensitized to violence that this means nothing? They are treating this terrorism threat like it is some game or a joke. It isn't.

If they could have they would have. They would be spending less time talking and more time plotting and bombing.

ABC did send a copy to the CIA. Then proceeded to see if they could authenticate the video.

They were likely under the orders of the CIA to keep quiet until the CIA looked at it and gave the OK.

What else would you have them do?

At the very least, Halloween Trick-or-treating should be cancelled.

The most important factor in defeating your enemies, is knowing who they are.

I trust Sean's opinion of the tape more than I would the CIA.

Stay vigilant!!!
