ABCNEWS HOLDS TERROR WARNING TAPE

**Exclusive**

In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding 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 ," a senior ABCNEWS source said Wednesday morning.

The terrorist's face is concealed by a head dress, and he speaks in an American accent, making it difficult to identify the individual.

US intelligence officials believe the man on tape may be Adam Gadhan - aka Adam Pearlman, a 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.'

They probably just got finished doing the post production work on the tape (to make it look "authentic")...that's what took so long.

[Tweed]

You are quoting Drudge?

yeah he's always been right. :eyes:

12. This is CRAP, and I'll tell you why...

If al Qaeda wanted to get out a message they would not give a single tape to ONE network. They would give copies to multiple media outlets.

DUH

[mooky]

13. This is probably a fake

The sad part is, it might actually work. Fox picked it up. Fair and balanced my ass!

[priapis]

15. FOX is just the public relations dept for Bush Admin

that they ran it doesnt amount to any great achievement.

[xultar]

14. Terra Warning - Postmarked, from the US doesn't count KKKarl n/t

[Pig_Latin_Lover]

17. Wow, sounds credible!

Some white guy in Muslim clothing making terrorist threats. From America. Wow!

Looks like I should vote for Bush because they want to attack me. And hate my freedom.

...and it runs for an HOUR? AN HOUR?!?!?

[LuminousX]

18. If this is so real terror alert should be at Moving Pictures or at least

Blackwatch Plaid.

I call it bogus. If it isn't then that means Bush has done shite for 3 since 9/11 to stop the terrorists.

[LiberalAndProud]

20. Faux is running with it huh? Just shows you how desperate they truly are.

[Sara Beverley]

22. Authentic or not, this is not good news for Bush. He gets blame for the

coming attacks against America. If it's not ture, he will still get the blame for the coming attacks against America, remember Cheney predicted that if Kerry were elected there would be more attacks. Well, If this happens right after Kerry is elected we know who is behind it and won't be Al-qaeda.

[Clinton Crusader]

27. I agree. He's supposed to be the STRONG one on terror..

if this is true, and that's a HUGE EFFIN IF, then I see another attack under him, as bad bad bad for him. He's touted as the strong one on terror, but he cant seem to stop attacks.

But as someone said, dont these 'tapes' usually go to Al Jazzerra (sp)? Why ABC?? And an American accent??

:kick:

[AntiCoup2K4]

23. Pearlman?? A Jewish Al Qaeda member??

Damn, that's one inclusive Wahabi fundamentalist group. :eyes:

[fob]

24. "...brought this on itself for electing George Bush..."

What? The election is NEXT week, was this supposed to be part of bush*co post-election loss strategy and they had to move it up? Destroying the Taliban? So this "terraist" hasn't been to Afghanistan to see the reality?

Oh Brother. What a farce. Problem is I fully expect bush*co to attack America somewhere as part of his re-selection campaign.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. Think about this for a minute

When have any of the real terrorist not sent their video to Al-Jazeera? The goal is to impassion Muslims to join the cause of taking down the occupying Americans. Also, when have they ever warned us before an attack? The whole thing just doesn't make a lick of sense. Wait, I know what it is, they don't want to lose the best recruiting agent they've ever had!

[Was_Immer]

26. NOTICE how SLUDGE cleared his entire page to flash this shit

theyre banking on this shit.

[ieoeja]

28. They should show it like the other tapes.

In the past when they got a tape purportedly from Al Qaeda, the networks immediately broadcast those tapes in their entirety. They should do the same with this one.

What's that you say? They have NEVER broadcast any tapes from Al Qaeda? They don't broadcast them because they're worried it may contain coded messages to Al Qaeda agents?

Well, sure, but this is different. ABC isn't showing this tape just because they know doing so would help Bush. We know this case is different because, well, we just know. We have moral certitude.

[Rockholm]

29. Boggeyman, Run, Hide, Me Scared...YIKES!!!!!!

Give me a fuckin' break. Bush, you suck.
