Osama bin Ladin's top aide, Ayman al-Zawahri has warned the US of fresh attacks in a new audiotape aired by Aljazeera. In the tape aired on Monday, al-Zawahri also lashed out at US President George Bush. Al-Zawahri accused Bush of misleading the world, spreading "fear" in the Middle East and appointing "corrupt" leaders. Al-Zawahri has also denied Bush's allegations of cracking down on two-thirds of al-Qaida network. Shifting on to the Iraqi issue, the top aide has said Iraq was under the rule of an anti-Islamic secular governor (referring to Saddam Hussein) and is now under an anti-Islamic occupation. He then warned the United States of new attacks.
