Bin Laden Deputy Warns of More Attacks on the U.S.

[twilight]

<DUBAI (Reuters) - A top al Qaeda leader warned President Bush in an audiotape broadcast on Tuesday to prepare for more attacks on the United States.

In the tape aired by Al Jazeera television, Ayman al-Zawahri said: "Bush, strengthen your defenses and your security measures for the Muslim nation which sent you the legion of New York and Washington has determined to send you legion after legion seeking death and paradise."

Zawahri, Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden's right-hand man, also appeared on Tuesday to single out France in its league of enemies, accusing Paris of displaying "Crusader hatred" toward Islam by banning Muslim headscarves from state classrooms.>

<CIA SAYS TAPES PROBABLY AUTHENTIC

The recordings aired on the two Arab television stations sounded like previous messages attributed to the Egyptian Zawahri, regarded as bin Laden's deputy and thought to be hiding with him somewhere near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.>
