Al Qaeda has aired a videotape warning that US allies, Israel and the Gulf Arab states, would be the next target of a terrorist attack.

The tape was aired to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the 11 September attacks.

Al-Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri condemned United Nations forces in Lebanon as ‘enemies of Islam’.

It was the first implicit threat against the international peacekeeping force.
