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.'

Exactly. If this is true and the threat is related to Bush's takedown of al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, and not Iraq, this is absolutely devastating to Kerry.

Look, I'm as cynical as the next guy about the MSM in the last week before an election, but there has been a standing policy of not running these videos. First, they're propaganda. Second, they're often signals to attack.

Hmm, I wonder if ACORN or ACT UP registered him to vote. Better check the voting rolls.

Looks like this guy is working for OBL AND the DNC

I hope that ABC is doing the correct thing. Not airing until authenticated by CIA. It would be devastating to ABC if it turned out to be fake, especially in light of RatherGate.

Best case scenario, ABC gets it sometime today or yesterday, passes along to CIA, CIA authenticates as best as possible and then allows ABC to air.

ABC is dealing with issues related to National Defense. If they were to hide it, it could be considered teasonous.

just my thoughts

ABC has an exclusive video of a Terrorist Threat against America.

Actually, that would be the left's response to Bush winning next Tuesday. I fully expect riots to break out in some socialist democratic controlled areas. I fully expect them to go to the White House and other government buildings and cause problems. Wednesday next week would be a very good day to stay home.

"If an attack does happen, watch for the link to the "missing explosives"."

My thoughts exactly... this missing weapons story seemed too random to be their October surprise. It only works for Kerry if ,God forbid, there is an attack somewhere. The seeds of doubt and blame have already been planted by the MSM, and they only need to speculate that it was done with the missing RDX. Hence, all Bush's fault.

" by destroying the Taliban "

Didn't Kerry say that the Taliban was resurging in Afghanistan ??
Tora ! Tora ! Bora !
It's pretty bad when even Al Queda calls Kerry a liar.

If this does not rally America, nothing will. Historically in times such as these, we respond with patriotism. It is time for America to stand up and say you will not, I repeat will not, threaten the safety of my wife, my child, my mother, my brother. For every one of ours you hurt, we will bring the wrath of God down upon 100 of yours. No country in the history of this world has been more humane, and more helpful to those around the world who deserve our help. The key word here is deserve. I say bring it. You think our response was great after 9/11, you ain't seen nothing yet. W will now be re-elected in a landslide. These colors don't run. Threaten me and you will bleed red, white, and blue. We are not Spain you barbaric slimes. You hit us and you will acomplish that which you fear the most! Another four years of George W. Bush. Until then, sleep well because it will be last last good night you will see on this earth!

You are barking up the wrong tree or totally misunderstanding my point. Calm down. No one wishes for a terrorist attack. My point is that the American people will not cotton to threats, and that alone redounds to Bush's advantage.

An American accent..funny...and they (the dem's that are responsible for making this BOGUS TAPE) think they'll get away with it. Hopefully the CIA determines who made this, and throws them in prison for life. This will be yet another scandal sponsored by the democrats to try (again) to steal the election. pathetic.

in the meantime, how about someone finding that kerry pissing on the flag video?

"ABC HELD IT FOR KERRY/EDWARDS!"

Let me speculate wildly here for a moment. ABC receives a tape from someone in Wierdistan. They immediately contact governmental authorities (I believe they would do this). The authorities tell them not to show it until they can work with it and ABC does so, not over political concerns, but because they are sensibly asked to do so.

It appears it is an anti-Bush video. The headline indicates it's a attack on the USA.. How can that help Bush?
