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.'

Probably the video says that Al Queda supports John Kerry...
You've gotta graft a pic of Te-RAY-zuh on that cowbell video...you've just gotta!
Exactly. That was very clever.
"Probably that ABC is in the wrong for not releasing because it might help wiht Bush's reelection. "
Bingo!

You know what, that sounds very plausible. I think you've got the best idea yet on what this video will show.
"Actually I read a blog from a speach writer for ford who had a contact that said the democrats already had a video made in case of a terrorist attack."
Uh Oh. MSM in biiiiiig trouble now...
But why are they holding it? Is it because it would hurt or help Bush. I can only think they are holding it until after the election because it will help the President.
I hadn't noticed that wording. Drudge is saying they're "holding on" to it, and thus not showing it because they know it'll help Bush.
actually, it's already up; ABC is witholding an AQ terror threat . . . .
Kerry is terrified of Alex and what she'll say all right ...
Because they think it helps Bush.
The "Holding" of the video is probably the focus. Another sKerry October suprise interrupted...

Interesting. Doesn't appear to be our much-anticipated "October Surprise," but rather yet another example of media corruption. Here's what it says on Drudge (or at least it did about 5 minutes ago):
"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... MORE..."
I don't think Drudge would be the first to get his hands on an Abu Ghraib video; the MSM would not let any such video escape their grasp. This might be a be big disappointment - "controversy over new video" sounds like it just might be some anti-Bush video by eminem or someone - yawn.
