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.'

Who gave them the video .. and how long have they had it
unexpected trouble for the left is the best kind of October surprise, even if Rove had nothing to do with it.
You're right, Petronski! I was looking at it from the other angle...that the threat would permit Kerry to say "see, we aren't safe under this president." But I think you are more correct.
Oh who cares what Eminem thinks... any guy named after a candy is an ass
((shudder))
Yep, he's definitely girly-man squatter.
Im on upper west side at work today.
Want to run right over to ABC headquarters and start ranting.
ABC HELD IT FOR KERRY/EDWARDS! The Kerry Edwards campaign has been saying that Cheney and Bush were exaggerating about an election hit by terrorists! And by holding back the tape they make it seem like Bush was being a fear monger! They were holding back the truth from the American public!
What terrorist warning are you holding and why ?
About 100 of them are a copy & paste of the same thing.
STOCK TIP:
BUY RAE...RAE Systems..
Mentioned it at $3.50..
Its breaking out...50 mil in sales..they are THE homeland def play.
Put no more that 4% in a single stock.

You told me you threw that away!!!!!!
It is another John Edwards hair combing videotape.
The video shows a bearded terrorist in a thobe and gutra issuing the threat. He looks remarkably like Karl Rove.
Bet it has terrorists saying it won't happen if Kerry is elected.
I disagree. Either way, it helps Bush, because it reminds people of the most important issue of the election, on which Bush leads Kerry by a large margin.
And, ask yourself...if they thought this would hurt Bush, do you honestly believe they would refrain from airing it?
