Change policies, al-Qaeda's second-in-command warns U.S. Last Updated Mon, 29 Nov 2004 15:37:30 EST DUBAI - Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant warned Americans Monday that they must change their policies toward Muslims or face continued fighting from al-Qaeda. The threat from Ayman Al-Zawahri, who is second-in-command of al-Qaeda, came in a videotape shown on the Arabic satellite TV channel Al-Jazeera. "There will be no solution with America without forcing it to surrender to justice," said the Egyptian-born doctor, adding that he doubted the U.S. would take his advice. "You have to choose between one of two methods to deal with Muslims: either on mutual respect and exchange of interests, or to deal with them as if they are spoils of war," al-Zawahri said. "This is your problem and you have to choose yourself. You have to realize that we are a nation of patience and endurance. We will stand firm to fight you with God's help until doomsday." He also commented on the recent U.S. election, saying the results are irrelevant. "Vote whoever you want, Bush, Kerry or the devil himself. This does not concern us. What concerns us is to purge our land from the aggressors," he said. The U.S. has offered a reward of up to $25 million US for information leading to the capture of al-Zawahri, who is on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list. He had been thought to be in hiding along with bin Laden in the mountains of Afghanistan, along the border with Pakistan. Days before the U.S. presidential election, bin Laden appeared on a videotape, threatening new attacks if the policies of the U.S. government did not change.
