Al Qaeda threatens more UK attacks

Thursday, August 4, 2005; Posted: 9:07 a.m. EDT (13:07 GMT)

(CNN) -- Osama bin Laden's No. 2 man in al Qaeda has threatened more destruction in London, saying that British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be to blame.

In a video broadcast Thursday on Arabic-language TV station Al Jazeera Ayman al-Zawahiri also issued a warning for the United States.

"To the British, I am telling you that Blair brought you destruction in the middle of London and more will come, God willing."

He appeared to be referring to the bombings on three London Underground trains and a bus on July 7 that killed 56 people including the four bombers.

In the videotape released Thursday, Zawahiri also issued several warnings for the United States.

"Our message is clear -- what you saw in New York and Washington (on Sept. 11, 2001) and what you are seeing in Afghanistan and Iraq, all these are nothing compared to what you wil see next.

"If you continue your politics against Muslims, you will see, God willing, such horror that you will forget the horrors of Vietnam."

Zawahiri reminded the United States and its allies of the "hudna" (truce) that bin Laden offered last year in return for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Muslim lands.

"Didn't Osama bin Laden tell you that you would never dream of peace until we actually live it in Palestine and before all foreign forces withdraw from the Land of Mohammed?"

The video showed Zawahiri, seated, with a grayer beard than in previous tapes, and an automatic weapon at his side. There have been two previous al-Zawahiri videotapes this year -- one in February and one in June.

The last time bin Laden released a statement was in an audiotape late last December when he praised Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and designated him the al Qaeda leader in Iraq.
