Terrorism: A New Face of Evil

From Newsweek

May 24 issue - He's not yet a household name like Osama bin Laden. But if the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies are correct, Jordanian terrorist Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi is probably the most dangerous and effective Islamic terrorist at large. The CIA says it believes that al-Zarqawi, now based in Iraq, recorded the voice-over on the gruesome Internet beheading of Nicholas Berg and that al-Zarqawi himself probably wielded the knife. Recently the government of Jordan accused al-Zarqawi of masterminding an unsuccessful terrorist plot in Amman. The CIA also believes al-Zarqawi directed several big terror attacks in Iraq last yearincluding the U.N. headquarters bombing and the bombing of an Italian paramilitary encampment. Earlier this year Coalition officials in Baghdad suggested al-Zarqawi may have instigated the long-running Sunni rebellion in Fallujah.
