ISLAMABAD, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The Pakistani bureau of al-Jazeera television received a video tape of Osama bin Laden in which he warned the United States of more attacks like those on September 11, 2001, its bureau chief said on Saturday.

"Someone came on Friday and dropped an envelope at our gate. When I opened and played it, it was a great scoop," Ahmad Muaffaq Zaidan told Reuters, adding that he did not know who had delivered the tape.

The U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, Lieutenant-General David Barno, told Reuters last month he believed bin Laden was most likely to be hiding somewhere in a remote part of Pakistan. However, Pakistani officials say they do not believe he is in Pakistan.
