WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI said Monday that U.S. intelligence agencies are reviewing a videotape in which the American spokesman for the al-Qaida terrorist network urged its fighters to attack President Bush when he visits the Middle East later this week.

In a videotape posted on the Internet Sunday, U.S.-born Adam Gadahn also tore up his American passport as part of a symbolic protest in the nearly hour-long rhetoric-dominated tape - al-Qaida's first message of the new year.

The release of the videotape comes just three days before Bush is scheduled to arrive in Israel for a weeklong trip that will also bring him to the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt as part of his push for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.

On Monday, FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said that American intelligence agencies are scrutinizing Gadahn's tape for any information that might signal a threat or otherwise shed light on al-Qaida planning.
