WASHINGTON - AL-QAEDA'S second-ranking leader has vowed in a new video message to kill more Westerners to avenge 'crimes' against Muslims, a US Al-Qaeda monitor said Monday. Ayman al-Zawahiri dedicated his new video message, released Sunday, to Al-Qaeda operative Sheikh Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, who died in a Libyan prison earlier this year, according to Alexandria, Virginia-based IntelCenter. 'The United States is deceiving us with the smiling Obama, who is searching for peace and defending human rights,' Zawahiri said of US President Barack Obama, adding that Al-Qaeda will study the circumstances of Al-Libi's death and went on to threaten the West with new attacks. 'Oh criminal killers, bloodsuckers,' Zawahiri is quoted as saying. 'We will shed your blood and consume your economy until you stop your crimes, oh arrogant insolents. 'Oh blood shedders, killers of innocent people,' he continued. 'God willing, we will take revenge on you for every mujahid, every widow, every orphan, and every Muslim, and we will defend everyone you oppressed in this world.' The video was released by Al-Qaeda's as-Sahab production company, according to IntelCenter. -- AFP
