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.'

When national security is at stake, the person who gave this to ABC had better go to jail and soon.
I am not thinking of this in political terms. This is us, our schools, somehow to define it as good for us or good for Kerry,,,well,,repels me
What kills me is that President Bush, after just eight months in office, had never declared war or even spoken harshly on Islam. They declared war on us on September 11, 2001!
refresh the page. hold the control key.
I don't think this Perlman is of any importance in Al Qaeda. They probably just used him in this video because he's an American traitor. But the question is why it was given to ABC, and how soon was it before they turned it over to the CIA?
There should be protests in the streets over the MSM!
:-) lol

I thought we wouls just go blind :^)
This can't be the guy. The last time his name surfaced his aunt said "he's such a nice boy."
it's probably mikey moore or ted kennedy dressing in some costume or something, or some other anti-Bush idiot that has made this video in hopes to bring Bush down the last minute before the election.
Go W!
Dang, you landed on a bad number, my friend...
Game 4 of World Series tonight... Pray hard...
Not being able to count bodies implies nuclear strike.
Lets see the picture......
if it's good for Bush, CIA will (via unnamed sources) leak that it is likely not authentic... just wait.
he looks like he could be Ron Kuby's son.
They say they got it from someone in Waziristan over the weekend.
