Al Qaeda No. 2: Attacks on Western nations in works
Responding to a question of whether the terror group had plans to attack Western countries that participated in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and subsequent war, al-Zawahiri said, "My answer is, yes. We think that any country that joined aggression on Muslims must be deterred."

Al-Zawahiri also denied a conspiracy theory that Israel carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S., and he blamed Iran and Shiite Hezbollah for spreading the idea to discredit the Sunni al Qaeda's achievement.

"Iran's aim here is also clear -- to cover up its involvement with America in invading the homes of Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq," he added. Iran cooperated with the United States in the 2001 U.S. assault on Afghanistan that toppled the Taliban, an al Qaeda ally.

Looks like involvement in the Middle East may be the reason [again] for another 9/11. But thanks to the Neocons, at least Iraq may not be a safe haven for Al Qaida for hundred years. And who is Osama and the rising Taliban anyway?
If someone actually stumbles over the unedited Transcript/Tape of Al-Zawahiri's speech, feel free to post it.
