CAIRO, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Al-Qaida's No. 2 Ayman
al-Zawahri has vowed to avenge the U.S. killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader
of the terror network in Iraq.
"Yes (George W. Bush) Bush, there isn't a single
person who will be killed that we won't get vengeance for, God willing,"
al-Zawahri said in a videotape aired by the al-Jazeera television on Friday.
Al-Zawahri also hailed al-Zarqawi as a martyr.
"We express our condolences to the Muslim nation on
one of its greatest soldiers," al-Zawahri said.
