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.'

Sedition.
I wonder if you're right about that. I can see CBS giving it to him to put out there since they are under scrutiny right now.
Drudge took down his cowbell....
Good point.......
We already know that Al Qaeda terrorists endorse John Kerry! It is in today's Washington Times! Quotes and all!
I don't know what it is, but it clearly is not going to be good for President Bush.
Why? Because the Bush people don't do the behind-the-back like the Clinton Goon squad does. Much as Joe Wilson would like you to believe.
Broadcasting it would remind everyone of the continuing threat, making Dubya votes more likely.
Has ABC confused Kerry's new ad with a terrorist video?
I was sure it was a video of Drudge saying "I can have a 1000 reply thread on FR before my latte is cold."
Yep. This thread alraedy has roughly 1.8 OCTILLION replies so far, all about.....nothing. Ok, back to running and screaming.

"Dear pig dog Americans! We will continue to be a nuisance to you in the future! Oh, and maybe kill a few tens of thousands of you. Very nuisancy, no?"
I imagine they also have witheld it from DHS and the FBI, citing "Journalistic Integrity" to protect their source.
