'Zarqawi aide killed in ambush'
BBC News Online ^ | 08/15/2005 | BBC News

Posted on 08/15/2005 8:59:25 AM PDT by LM_Guy

United States officials say Iraqi forces have killed a senior aide to the militant leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Officials said Abu Zubair was shot dead in the northern city of Mosul, in an ambush set by Iraqi forces.

He had been wanted for his alleged role in several attacks, including a attack on a police station in Mosul last month, which killed five policemen.

No other details of the operation were provided, and there is no independent confirmation of the US statement.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his group are believed to be behind the kidnapping and beheading of several foreigners in Iraq.

His group - originally known as Tawhid and Jihad, but now known as al-Qaeda in Iraq - is also believed to be behind a long list of suicide bombings and attacks on Iraqi and US forces.

"If it is true, good going "Iraqi Forces" !!!"

Agreed.

"Hey Abu Zubair, I have 10 suicide bombers lined up for you. They are ready to go. They even have their own cars. Come this way my friend let me show them to you."

"Say Hello to My little friend - BOOM!"

In the movies, the most assured ways of being killed is as follows;

1) Be Chuck Norris's best friend

2) Be Bond's local assistant

3) Be a guard in any superhero action movie

I guess in real life you could say the same of Zarquawi "aids"..

Is this an alphabetical listing or is it a prerequisite to be named Abu to be hired by this guy?

Something tells me this was the number three guy in Al qaeda. For some reason the number three guy in Al Qaeda has the life expectency of the guy in the red shirt when they beam down to the planet on Star Trek. "Oh no, they got ensign Smith..."

From the site you linked:

"Abu Zubair al-Haili was born Saudi Arabia and became a senior al-Qaida recruiter and operational commander. ... He was trained as an intelligence agency officer in Iraq where he fought against the Kurdish people in Northern Iraq. Before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks he ran some of bin Laden's training camps in Afghanistan. He was considered to be among the top 25 al-Qaida lieutenants of Osama bin Laden and therefore on the American most wanted list."

But .. but .. but ... I thought that there was no link between Iraq and Al Qaeda before 9/11?

Thanks for the link.

LOL. Pretty soon, no one is going to want to work for the man. That's when we will make our move.
