Al Qaida makes more threats

ALGIERS, Algeria, July 9 (UPI) -- Osama bin Laden's al Qaida network has threatened more attacks on the United States.

"Al Qaida will organize more attacks inside American territory and outside, at the moment we choose, at the place we choose and with the objectives that we want," Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a spokesman for the group told Algeria's El Youm newspaper Tuesday.

He labeled the U.S. war on terrorism a "Hollywood script," adding "al Qaida still maintains its military, security, economic and informational structures."

El Youm's Editor in Chief H'Mida Ayachi said the interview with the Kuwaiti-born Abu Ghaith was conducted Sunday via two intermediaries. He said the newspaper faxed questions to the first intermediary and a second intermediary asked the questions. No location for the interview was given.

In a related incident, the Saudi-owned Middle East Broadcasting Corp. played what it said was an al Qaida statement from another spokesman, Abu Laith. The Libyan-born militant said al Qaida was "preparing for a coming period of guerrilla war."
