The CIA is unable to authenticate a videotape in which a man claiming to be an al-Qaida terrorist warns of devastating new attacks on the United States, a senior U.S. intelligence official told NBC News on Wednesday.

The existence of the tape was first reported Wednesday afternoon by Internet columnist Matt Drudge, who said it was obtained last weekend in Pakistan by ABC News. Drudge quoted an unidentified “senior ABC News source” as saying the network was “working 24 hours a day trying to authenticate” it.

But the senior intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told NBC News that “we can’t authenticate” the tape, a copy of which ABC gave the CIA on Monday. He would not elaborate, adding, “I think that is where we are going to stand.”

U.S. officials told NBC News that the tape included now-standard militant Islamist rhetoric promising widespread destruction inside the United States. The man cannot be identified, the officials said, because his face is covered by a headdress.

Say it loud! ROVE IS AN OVERRATED HACK AND A MORON!

MISSING EXPLOSIVES to wreak havoc on America?? Not a good sign for Bush..Drudge should have kept his mouth shut and his fingers off the keyboard.

That doesn't seem to stop them from telling us "their" boogieman is al Zarqawi even though "his" face is covered by a headdress,unofficial said.
