Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, who is believed to have ties to terror network Al-Qaida, threatened to kill Iraqi new Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, according to an audiotape posted on an Islamic website on Wednesday.

"As for you (Iyad) Allawi .... the democratically elected prime minister, ... you didn't know that you have survived already traps we made for you but we promise you that we will continue with you the game until the end," said the voice on the tape which was purportedly made by Zarqawi.
