The Taliban terrorist who failed to set off a homemade car bomb in bustling Times Square appeared yesterday in a vitriolic martyrdom video, revealing his premeditated plan to spill blood on US soil.

"This attack on the United States will be a revenge for all the mujahedeen [holy warriors] . . . and oppressed Muslims," spews Faisal Shahzad.

Shahzad, 30, says the attack would also avenge Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al Qaeda in Iraq leader who was blown to bits when a US fighter jet dropped two 500-pound bombs on his "safe" house in 2006.

"I will carry this attack on their behalf, and I hope that it will please Muslims," Shahzad raves in the video linking him to the bungled May 1 bomb plot that forced a massive evacuation in the heart of the city.

Just 53 hours after his aborted crime, authorities slapped handcuffs on Shahzad as he sat aboard a Dubai-bound jet departing from JFK Airport.

Shahzad -- a naturalized American citizen who lived in Bridgeport, Conn. -- pleaded guilty June 21 in Manhattan federal court to 10 felonies, including international terrorism and trying to use a weapon of mass destruction.

"With jihad, the basis of Islam can be enforced, and the word of Allah and his religion will prevail," Shahzad rages in the video, which aired on Dubai-based television station Al Arabiya.

The authenticity of the recording -- made in English and dubbed in Arabic -- was not immediately confirmed.

Shahzad, a married father of two, sits cross-legged in the video and occasionally glances down at a notebook in his lap or reads from what appears to be the Koran, held in his left hand.

"Eight years have passed since the [start of] war in Afghanistan. You will see that the Muslims' war has just started, and we will tell you how Islam will spread all over the world," he seethes.
