Al-Zawahri: Bush a 'butcher' Bin Laden warns of US attacks

Washington - Al-Qaeda is plotting to attack the United States again and the terror network remains a top concern for authorities, American intelligence chief John Negroponte told a senate hearing on Thursday.

"Al-Qaeda remains our top concern," Negroponte told the senate select committee on intelligence.

"We have eliminated most of the leadership that presided over al-Qaeda in 2001 and US-led counterterrorism efforts in 2005 continue to disrupt its operations."

He added that nonetheless the group's "core elements" were still plotting terrorist attacks against the United States and other targets from bases along the Pakistan and Afghan borders.
