Zarqawi Eclipsing Bin Laden in Prominence

Wednesday, May 12, 2004
By Niles Lathem

Abu Musab Zarqawi, the one-legged Jordanian behind the horrific beheading of a U.S. hostage, has emerged as one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world — and could soon eclipse Usama bin Laden in importance.

The slaughter of American Nick Berg was just the latest in a massive series of bloody and spectacular attacks on U.S. and Western interests in Iraq and Europe that have been attributed to the shadowy al-Tawhid (search) network commanded by Zarqawi.

With bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, on the run, Zarqawi, who operates separately from al Qaeda, has increasingly taken up the global jihad banner.

He has backed up his bid to become the next bin Laden with a massive string of deadly bombings in Iraq and fiendish chemical and poison plots in Europe and the Middle East.

Lately, he's been making a series of bin Laden-style statements to Arabic TV stations calling for a religious civil war and the assassination of top U.S. military and civilian leaders in Iraq.

"He is clearly the most active terrorist in the world right now, and what you are seeing is a rise in his stature as well as a rise in his ego," said Jonathan Schanzer, a terrorism analyst for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (search).

"Bin Laden and Zawahiri are hiding out in caves in Waziristan [northwestern Pakistan], so he is going for spectacular operations to seize the spotlight. This is a man who is committed to the utopian vision of the demise of the West and the rise of a radical Islamic world, and he sees Iraq as the main theater of operations to accomplish that goal."

Zarqawi has claimed credit for more than 25 terror attacks in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein, killing hundreds. They include the destruction of the Jordanian embassy and U.N. headquarters in Baghdad; the massacre outside a Shiite mosque in Najaf; and the recent bombing of an oil terminal in the Persian Gulf.

His network has also been linked to bombings of synagogues and British institutions in Istanbul, Britain's ricin poison plot in 2002 and most recently to a plot to attack Jordanian diplomatic buildings with truckload of chemicals and explosives.

Despite a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head, Zarqawi has managed to travel freely among Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria in recent months to lead a growing network.

Its tentacles now extend from Chechnya, Georgia, Iraq and Algeria all the way to Germany, say U.S. intelligence officials.

Zarqawi's real name is Ahmad Fadil Nazzal al-Khalayleh. He is a 37-year-old high school dropout who is a veteran of the Afghan war against the Soviets.

In 1999, after being released from jail in Jordan, Zarqawi formed an alliance with bin Laden allowing Zarqawi to operate a training camp in Afghanistan for Arab fighters committed to the overthrow of Jordan's moderate monarchy.

During the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Zarqawi is believed to have been badly wounded in a U.S. airstrike and fled to Iran. Later, he ended up in Baghdad, where Saddam's regime allowed him to recuperate for several months after having his leg amputated.

Months before the Iraq war, Zarqawi and his followers resumed operations in northern Iraq, merging with the Kurdish Islamic terror group Ansar al-Islam (search).

Although the United States bombed the main Ansar base in northern Iraq, Zarqawi and his followers escaped the attack and built up a network of jihad "foreign fighters" battling U.S. forces.

The United States has offered a $10 million reward for information leading to his capture or killing.

Its time to go hunting and cash in, dammit.

I had never heard Vlad the Impaler mentioned on this site until yesterday. I think this is the 4th time now that someone has mentioned putting heads on pikes.

I still don't want anyone's head on a pike. I just want them killed, in the most expedient manner possible. No more, NO LESS.

I'm not holding my breath.

Not that I wouldn't love to see his head on a pike, I heard this morning on Neal Boortz that some translators are saying the 5 ~~men~~ animals in the video had Iraqi accents. They don't think any of the 5 were Abu Musab al-Zarqawi but believe he gave the order.

I also think I heard that this guy is a chemical weapons expert.

10 Million, that'd be worth getting a group together to go look for the bastard. Some of you younger guys, this could be a good chance to test out your AR's and make some cash to boot. Go get em' guys.

Vlad the Impaler didn't just put heads on pikes.

He killed people by making them stand in tip-toe over a pointed wooden stake. They would die (slowly and painfully) as the stake drove up through their rectum and into their guts.

THAT is why the muslims remember Vlad to this day.

Edit to add: I just saw this...

It was once reported that an invading Turkish army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses impaled on the banks of the Danube. In 1461 Mohammed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man not noted for his squeamishness, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of twenty thousand impaled corpses rotting outside of Vlad's capital of Tirgoviste. The warrior sultan turned command of the campaign against Vlad over to subordinates and returned to Constantinople.

Sounds effective, no?

well, if one would go over as like a bounty hunter, how would one get there? Would you have to abide by our laws? Would America charge you as one of them if caught? What are your thoughts on all of this?

Possible to do? Yes.
However, such an undertaking would be VERY expensive and complicated.

Enough so that the Catholic Church claims him, although somewhat reluctantly.

Sure but I would think many would donate to a cause that did not have their hands tied. And if they would come across someone with a bounty they would share with all that put in. Thats the problem with this in the first place. We are fighting with our hands tied. We are worried what others think and not just doing the job and calling it a day. We need someone over there that does not have to follow these rules. Someone that does not wear an American flag gets shot. There are many people in this forum that can out shoot many in the armed forces. Many have expertees that would rival many in the military. I know it would be very hard and not many would do it. But it might come down to do it there or someone will have to do it here in our home land!

He's just a troll, ignore the little fella.
