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.'

Terror warning held by ABCNews
"TERROR WARNING VIDEO"
Guess who was first with Rush's drug abuse?
Beat me by five seconds!
so I suppose ABC does not want to be the next Al Jazeera and relay on to the terror cells their coded instructions.
Pretty good citizenship, if true. Of course, Al Jazz and CBS would think nothing of pitching one for the cause.

Its not, it was a terror warning.
ABCNEWS is holding....
So there is no downside for the President, only downside for the MSM.
IMO, as long as safety from terrorists is a dominant issue on voters' mind, Bush wins. Kerry needs to get onto a different playing field in the last week.
If this is the kind of thing that elevates terror fears, I think it works to Bush's advantage.
ABC withholding a tape concerning a terrorist attack? Sounds like they are trying to sway people to vote for sKerry.. because they know that would let people know the threat is REAL.
If such video existed I wonder if Drudge would wait until after the election to publish of would he do it now?
It's probably this Katherine Harris incident. I imagine it was caught on multiple video cameras. This guy in the cadillac sounds like a gem.
Anyone think it might be a tape of Osama?
Crap!!!
It's not the Eminem Farenheit 9/11 video
which is pretty horrible btw

Oh, great! CBS again!
Hopefully the video will drive voters to Geroge W. Bush.
Ya'll have done gone and crashed Drudge!! I can't get his site to even open up on my work computer. LOL
