Video Contains Threat of Major Attack on U.S.
Wednesday, October 27, 2004
WASHINGTON The CIA is unable to authenticate a videotape that is said to threaten an assault on the United States that would "dwarf" the Sept. 11 (search) attacks.
The tape was handed to the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency by ABC News two days ago, multiple government sources told FOX News.. ABC is said to have received the tape last weekend from a terrorist source in Waziristan, a region in Pakistan near the Afghan border where the Taliban and Al Qaeda (search) are believed to be holed up.
The government set a 3 p.m. EDT interagency deadline to determine the authenticity of the tape. But after the deadline, the CIA said a preliminary technical analysis presented inconclusive results.
"We cannot verify the authenticity of this tape," one official told FOX News.
The speaker in the video is disguised but speaks "alarmingly" fluent English in an American accent, leading some U.S. officials to believe that the voice belongs to Adam Yahiye Gadahn (search). Gadahn, who also goes by the names Adam Pearlman and Abu Suhayb Al-Amriki, is a 25-year-old Southern Californian fingered by the FBI for possible ties to Al Qaeda.
