Cairo, Egypt ? Osama bin Laden’s deputy warned that Persian Gulf countries and Israel would be al-Qaida’s next targets, according to a new videotape aired by Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera on Monday, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Ayman al-Zawahri also accused the governments of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia of supporting Israel’s war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Addressing the West, the al-Qaida No. 2 said, “You should not waste your time in reinforcing your troops in Iraq and Afghanistan because their fate is doomed … Instead, you have to reinforce your troops in two regions. First is the Gulf, where you would be thrown out … and second is Israel.”

He also condemned the U.N. peacekeeping force now deploying in Lebanon under terms set out in a cease-fire resolution.

“What is so terrible in this resolution … is that it approves the existence of the Jewish state and isolates our mujahedeen in Palestine from Muslims in Lebanon,” he said in excerpts of the video aired on Al-Jazeera television.

“This is consecrated by the presence of international troops who are hostile to Islam,” he said. “Anyone who accepts this resolution means that he accepts all these catastrophes.”

In other portions of the tape aired by CNN Monday, al-Zawahri urged Muslims to intensify their resistance against the United States and warned in general terms of new terror strikes.

The video was not on any of the militant Web sites that usually carry messages and videos from al-Zawahri and other al-Qaida figures.

As-Sahab, the terror network’s media arm, had posted notices late Sunday that the video would be available.

On Sunday, another video posted on the Internet, purportedly by al-Qaida, showed previously unseen footage of a smiling bin Laden and other commanders in a mountain camp apparently planning the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

That tape’s documentary-like retrospective of the five years since the attacks was unusually long – 91 minutes, split into two segments – and sophisticated in its production quality, compared with previous al-Qaida videos.

The footage – with English subtitles – surfaced on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the attacks, on a Web site that frequently airs messages from bin Laden’s terror network.

The video released Sunday, stamped with the emblem of As-Sahab, al-Qaida’s media branch, was titled “Knowledge is For Acting Upon” and subtitled “The Manhattan Raid.”
