AL-QAEDA'S new leader has vowed to launch a devastating terror blitz on London to avenge Osama Bin Laden's death.
Saif al-Adel, 51, is determined to make Britain and the US pay, Taliban chiefs revealed yesterday.
The fanatic warns that London will be the first to face a new 7/7 atrocity because terrorist cells are already in place waiting for orders to strike.
The threat emerged after a summit meeting of Taliban and al-Qaeda chiefs near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
They confirmed evil Egyptian terror veteran al-Adel - whose name means Sword of Islam - as caretaker leader. He ordered his followers to concentrate on large-scale international operations like 9/11.
Al-Adel urged them to "crush the infidels" in America and the UK in revenge for the Navy Seals' strike that killed Bin Laden.
"He believes the UK is the backbone of Europe and must be crushed. This will be followed by attacks in other western countries.
"London was picked out because we have a big representation in the UK." Former commando al-Adel was once Bin Laden's security chief and a key figure in terror plots.
