The man arrested for plotting a car bombing in New York's Times Square appeared in a video on Al Arabiya television Wednesday in which he said he planned to attack the United States.

"This attack on the United States will be a revenge for all the mujahedeen (holy warriors) ... and oppressed Muslims, including ... Abu Musab al Zarqawi," the late leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, said Faisal Shahzad.

The recording, whose authenticity could not immediately be confirmed, was made in English and had an Arabic voiceover.

"I will carry this attack on their behalf, and I hope that it will please Muslims," the Pakistani-American Shahzad said in the first video linking him to the abortive May 1 bomb plot and al Qaeda.

"With jihad (holy war), the basis of Islam can be enforced and the word of Allah and his religion will prevail," he said.

"Abandoning jihad destroys the religion and puts Muslims in an insulting position as they get robbed of land and authority," he added.

Dressed in Afghan fighters-like attire with a black turban and trimmed beard, Shahzad appeared in a video that carried the "Umar Media" brand, with an AK-47 rifle apparently added by video editing to his left.

Dear Leader wants to remind you, Comrades, if you are not a Muslim do not use words and phrases like "jihad," "Mujahadeen," "holy war" or "religion" when discussing attacks on The Great Satan.
