2006 Essential Guide to Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi al-Qaeda Terrorist Leader in Iraq War in Iraq and Counterterrorism Al-Qaida and Islamo-Fascism Author:U.S. Government This electronic book on CD-ROM has a unique collection of documents, photographs, and resources about Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaeda terrorist leader in Iraq, and the war in Iraq and counterterrorism, plus the war on terrorism, Al-Qaida and Islamo-Fascism. There is detailed information from the Department of Defense, White House, State Depar... more »tment, and other government sources. There are four movie files in the WMV computer video format produced by the U.S. Department of Defense about the killing of Zarqawi. The American Forces Press Service issued the following release, "Coalition Forces Kill Top Terrorist in Iraq", on June 8, 2006 ? Jordanian terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died in an air strike north of Baghdad yesterday evening, U.S. officials have confirmed. Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr., commander of Multinational Force Iraq, announced Zarqawi's death during a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad today. "Ladies and Gentlemen, coalition forces killed al Qaeda terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and one of his key lieutenants, spiritual advisor Sheik Abd-Al-Rahman, yesterday, June 7, at 6:15 p.m. in an air strike against an identified, isolated safe house," Casey said. Tips and intelligence led forces to Zarqawi and some of his associates who were conducting a meeting approximately eight kilometers north of Baqubah when the air strike was launched, Casey said. "Iraqi police were first on the scene after the air strike, and elements of Multinational Division North arrived shortly thereafter. Coalition Forces were able to identify Zarqawi by fingerprint verification, facial recognition and known scars," he said. Zarqawi and al Qaeda in Iraq have conducted terrorist activities against the Iraqi people for years in attempts to undermine the Iraqi national government and coalition efforts to rebuild and stabilize Iraq, U.S. officials in Iraq said. He is known to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iraqis. "Zarqawi's death is a significant blow to al Qaeda and another step toward defeating terrorism in Iraq," U.S. officials said in a statement. "Although the designated leader of al Qaeda in Iraq is now dead, the terrorist organization still poses a threat as its members will continue to try to terrorize the Iraqi people and destabilize their government as it moves toward stability and prosperity," Casey said. "Iraqi forces, supported by the coalition, will continue to hunt terrorists that threaten the Iraqi people until terrorism is eradicated in Iraq." It's ironic that terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed Wednesday just as the Iraqi government he tried to derail scored some significant successes, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Thursday. Rumsfeld announced the Jordanian terrorist mastermind's death during a session of a NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels Thursday. He expanded on the subject on the flight home. "This has to be a shock to the al-Qaida system, not just in Iraq but elsewhere. The benefit is enormous for the Iraqi people," Rumsfeld told reporters traveling with him. "Here's a man who has killed literally thousands of people -- innocent men, women and children. He has incited sectarian violence. He was a center of the financing network and of the operational network, and the link between the Iraqi operation and elements outside of Iraq." This blow, coupled with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki?s announcement Thursday that he had named people to the key Cabinet positions of defense and interior, is "a stunning shock" to the insurgency in Iraq, Rumsfeld said. Rumsfeld said that Maliki had come under criticism for the delay in naming Cabinet ministers to these crucial posts. Ministers of defense and interior are vital because these two posts oversee the military and police forces, respectively. But Rumsfeld praised the Iraqi leader for the careful way he made his decisions. He said Maliki made the right d« less
