Dubai - Al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman
al-Zawahri warned Americans of a reprisal "far worse than
anything they have seen" if Washington did not change its
policies towards Muslim states.
"You are facing the Islamic rage ... what awaits you, should
you press on (with current policies), is far worse than anything
you have seen," Zawahri said in a video posted on the internet
on Wednesday.
Leaders of the militant group which carried out the 9/11 aircraft attacks against US cities often argue that
its "terrorism" is justified as a way to change pro-Israel US
policies and to punish Washington for its wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq.
"I will talk to you in a language you understand; If you
want to live safely you have to accept reality and reject the
illusions that (US President George W) Bush is trying to
deceive you with," he said in the video.
Part of the video was posted earlier this week on the website site of the US-based SITE institute.
"You have to try your utmost to reach an understanding with
the Muslims, only then you will enjoy security. "But if you
continue with the policy of Bush and his gang then you won't
dream of it," he said.
Zawahri also vowed retaliation against Ethiopian troops for
helping the Somalia's interim government rout rival Islamist.
"The Mujahideen will break their backs with God's power and
help," Zawahri said.
The Egyptian militant also urged Palestinians to abandon
President Mahmoud Abbas as a "traitor" and said he had sold his
religion and Palestinian land.
