History Forum / General / British History / June 2006The new Zarkawi
If the killing of Zarkawi was a set-up from inside the Al Qaida organization, as some have suggested, his replacement, Abu Ayyub Al-Masri, appears to be little different in theology or mindset. Like Zarkawi, he appears to be intolerant of the Shi'ia sect, and intent on attacking it and moderate Muslims with little sympathy for innocent Iraqis killed in the process, with the result that he is likely to have as many enemies as his former leader. -the Troll http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?articleid=2370037 > If the killing of Zarkawi was a set-up from inside the Al Qaida > organization, as some have suggested, his replacement, Abu Ayyub Al-Masri, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > process, with the result that he is likely to have as many enemies as his > former leader. There's also the possibility that he doesn't actually exist.  SignatureWilliam Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea.

Almost anything in this world is possible. As a purely practical matter, publicly assigning (through Al Jezeera) a vital leadership position, and attributing the recent 'victory' over two US soldiers, to a non-existent person seems of doubtful propaganda value to Al Qaida. -the Troll >If the killing of Zarkawi was a set-up from inside the Al Qaida >organization, as some have suggested, his replacement, Abu Ayyub Al-Masri, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >process, with the result that he is likely to have as many enemies as his >former leader. -the Troll >http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?articleid=2370037 I agree, but with one exception. Bin Laden's aim has always been to bring the Shi'a under domination. He's a radical Sunni. And his main goal is religious reformation in the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia. So yes, moderates and Shi'a get attacked. Thus bin Laden's new man will mirror that. The problem with al Zarkawi was the way he treated the people in his own organization. I think *that* is what got him "offed" in the end. We can hope that al Zarkawi's organization has been weakend by all this. They are likely all looking for leakers. If so, we will be better off for it. ---- Paul J.

I think he didn't like how Zarkawi treated folks who are, in spite of everything, difficult to recruit. You don't find suicide bombers standing around on street corners waiting for repeat employment... ---- Paul J.

Folks who found organizations are bound to be proprietary about it. Having Zarkawi refuse to take suggestions, or share resources, must have been irksome, especially because Bin Laden must have felt Zarkawi was ruining the cause, and his life's work, with his excesses. Reports from the field have foreign fighters streaming towards the Syrian border as we go after Ramadi. We also just took out their number five man and some of his group. We're learning from the Israelis. -the Troll |
