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.'

Good question. I'm thinking that they did not have evidence either way. Brett with Fox News suggests the Pentagon thinks it's likely the guy they've been looking for since May.
I'm not an astrologist, and disavow its alleged import. But to use its vocabulary, there's a convergent planetary pattern here:
(1) Ramadan begins today. (2) There's a lunar eclipse tonight; and the crescent slice of the moon is the Muslim symbol; (3) Election of Bush is forthcoming; (4) With that, the gearing of the media splash all already built-in (terror's impact multiplies via instilling media-driven fear); (5) More Al Qaeda operatives are being uncovered all the time...it's beginning to be too risky for some of them to remain where they are and thus fulfill their hell-sourced mission; (6) The biggest chunk of our economic inpull is upon us (start of the Christmas season).
Al-Qaeda may not be well-versed at gambling w/card games, but they still know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em and now's not the time for them to do either of those. Pray. Intercede. The god of this world may be a terrorist (2 Cor. 4), but he's not sovereign.
Is that really a question that you actually need to ask?
I didn't think so.
Hit your knees and ask God to thwart the Islamic
Terrorists' evil plans.
Why do these posts keep disappearing and coming back?
It was a single female border agent who alertly suspected something.
Anyone see Buckhead lately? DU'ers are such idiots.
Here, after following some of your posts, I thought you were an intelligent lady.
Argue with me about the video, ABC's handling of it, etc.
But to make a personal attack based on something in YOUR HEAD, and not something you know or can prove about my person, shows you are being real sarcastic, or you are (like many of us) tired/jumpy/wishing the election was over and BUSH won in a landslide!
I hate Peter Jennings. I do not watch Him or Rather, or CBS or ABC, or NBC. Occasionally I watch FOX. Rarely do I watch any news program on TV. I know the motives of the MSM. I know what journalists do to 'stories' to get them in 'print'.
Next time, start off with "I BET YOU LIKE......" instead of assuming something that you end up being COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT.
I am not defending ABC here, folks. I am trying to keep FREEPERS from looking like DU'ers.

bump!
Its becoming more and more obvious...if Kerry gets in, we're toast; the sad thing is, there are plenty of dumbed-down people who are going to buy into all the MSM bias for Kerry. I mean, this crap is getting outright scandalous.
Why don't you take your views and ideas straight to hell.
That is where you belong.
You idiot.
I read the article, it said ABC got the video days ago and held onto it for a while trying to verify its authenticity before turning it over to the CIA. Did you read the same article I read ?
Not me because I haven't assumed that line of argument.
Again, no argument. But did they WITHHOLD THIS TAPE from the CIA? Are we going to fight them on this one issue, one that we will fail on ?

>>Brett with Fox News suggests the Pentagon thinks it's likely the guy they've been looking for since May.<,
Isn't he thought to be a translator for UBL???
Plus wasn't UBL supposedly seen in the area of Pakistan where this tape came from?
One more thing--Isn't Brian ross-ABC guy-their UBL expert?
Gives me the creeps!!!
