| Potential successors to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Most names are aliases (al-Iraqi means "the Iraqi" and indicates birthplace). Abu Maysara al-Iraqi: Head of the information department of al-Qaida in the Land of Two Rivers (also known as al-Qaida in Iraq). A former military officer in Saddam Hussein's regime. Abu al-Dardaa al-Iraqi: Top military commander (in Baghdad and surrounding area) of al-Qaida in Iraq. Former military officer in Hussein's regime. Abu Azzam al-Iraqi and Abu Saad al-Dulaimi: Military commanders (in western Anbar province) of al-Qaida in Iraq. Suleiman Khaled Darwish (alias Abu al-Ghadiya): a Syrian and a longtime associate of al-Zarqawi's. The two men first met in Afghanistan. Abu Hafs al-Gerni: A Saudi who has served as al-Zarqawi's military adviser and head of the military committee of al-Qaida in Iraq. |

| #8 I think I brought this up here once before: would that translate fully into Arabic as al qaida al jazeera? Al Jazeera means The Peninsula, the Arabic translation of Al Qaeda in Iraq is Qa'idat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn |

| #5 Kill each one as soon as he takes charge. Occasionally mention that anonymous informants close to the center helped nail this one or that, and thank them. Keep the organization in an uproar, and too busy internally to be effective (except as a laughingstock). |

| #3 Abu Maysara al-Iraqi: Head of the information department of al-Qaida in the Land of Two Rivers (also known as al-Qaida in Iraq). A former military officer in Saddam Hussein's regime. Abu al-Dardaa al-Iraqi: Top military commander (in Baghdad and surrounding area) of al-Qaida in Iraq. Former military officer in Hussein's regime. Hmm, it was my understanding that the Sunni / Baathist part of the insurgency liked to keep its distance from al-Zarqawi's bunch of fanatics. That distance was strictly cosmetic, of course. It just gave the Baathist's some 'plausible deniability' when Z's boys were indulging themselves in their counter-productive car-bombing campaign. |
