...almost never claim responsibility for their part in suicide operations. But the terrorism that has plagued Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein would not have been possible without men like al-Tamimi, who says he organizes attacks for several insurgent organizations, ranging from hard-core jihadis like Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi's al-Qaeda operation in Iraq to more obscure Iraqi nationalist groups. "These are the guys who supply the intel and networks," says the Rand Corp.'s counterterrorism expert Bruce Hoffman. "They are the terrorists' trump card--and our Achilles' heel...
...embassy in Tehran more than 25 years ago, he said, "Sometimes, in order to gain your rights, you have to do certain things." That sounds as if he would condone any type of behavior if it achieved political goals. But then, in answer to a question about Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi's call for violence against Shi'ites in Iraq, Ahmadinejad said, "Any decision that leads to the killing of innocents is something that we reject."

Few Sunnis say they support the terrorist atrocities that are perpetrated daily by followers of al-Qaeda leader Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, but many still regard attacks against U.S. and Iraqi troops as legitimate resistance. At the Abu Hanifa mosque, the most prominent Sunni mosque in Baghdad, a banner hangs from the clock tower calling on worshippers to pray in the name of Muhammad, imam of the mujahedin. Over...
...Levels of Barbarism "The New Bin Laden?", your notebook item on Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq [Sept. 5], said that al-Zarqawi's organization "is believed to have been behind barbaric attacks in Iraq." It seems only fair to ask where, on the spectrum of barbarism, we would locate the killing of Iraqi civilians, the razing of Fallujah, the depravity at Abu Ghraib prison and the self-righteous obscenity at Guantánamo Bay. And how about the abandonment of the desperate hurricane victims in Louisiana and Mississippi? In Iraq, limitless U.S. resources are deployed...
