The manfaces of Abu Musab alZaruawi ThisWeb site’s authors are loath to even put photos of this notorious scumbag on its pages – albeit even in the light in which the life of this murdering asshole is presented. However, because this man was one of the most notorious murderers of our time, we feel obligated to rank him among the top ten assholes of the century with a fivestar asshole rating.
Abu Musab alZarqawi was Iraq's most notorious terrorist / insurgent a mysterious figure responsible for spectacular bombings, assassinations, and the brutal beheading of hostages – until April 8, 2006, when U.S. fighter jets sent a missile into a farmhouse where he was holedup, and fortunately left enough of this bag of shit intact, so that there could be no doubt that he was finally doneaway with. The asshole was betrayed by one of his own, who no doubt was motivated by the twentyfive million dollar 1 price tag on his head . Zar awihad Jordanian roots 2 Abu Musab al Zarqawi first appeared in Iraq as the leader of the Tawhid and the Jihadinsurgent group, merging it with Osama Bin Laden's alQaeda terrorist network in late 2004. Information on al Zarqawi of late, was restricted to what his enemies and supporters had attributed to him. Many analysts said he had used the Iraqi insurgency as an opportunity to expand his operations, while others argued that his influence in the terrorist community had been exaggerated. 3 The videotaped beheadings of foreign hostages posted on Islamic Web siteswhich made Tawhid and Jihad infamous in 2004, had tapered since the group's merger with alQaeda. Bomb attacks on Iraq's Shiadominated government and security forces had continued unabated, with many of the bloodiest attacks of 2005 blamed on Zarqawi's group, which was now called “alQaeda” in Iraq. According to BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera, al Zarqawi's bloody attacks on the Shias had alienated many Shias and Shia supporters in the insurgency, including some Sunni Muslims who were Zarquawi’s strongest backers. A letter released by US forces in 2005, was supposedly authored by Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman alZawahiri, and addressed to al Zarqawi, and appears to support this.In the letter, whose authenticity still remains in doubt, Zawahiri purportedly cautions Zarqawi that the indiscriminate attacks on the Shia were undermining support for alQaeda. The BBC correspondent said that Zarqawi was shifting his focus away from Iraq, and was attempting to exploit his foreign connections in order to export the violence further. The US military claimed to have injured al Zarqawi in an assault in 2005. A statement released by alQaeda appeared to confirm this, but said that his injuries were minor.
