| #2 Sea, Tha facts about his early life coincide with what I was told by a Lebanese Christian friend whose family is from the same area. Small time thug who made it big in Al Qaeda. |

| #1 Zarqawi was working hand in glove with Abu Zubaydah for the 2000 Millennium bombings in Jordan that are the subject of the original Jordanian indictment against him. Zark was supposed to supply the local muscle, while Zubaydah brought in the professionals and the getaway routes. When things went south, Zark fled to Afghanistan. In Herat, Zark was training everybody from Chechens to Turks to Kurds at Binny's behest, though many experts decided to split hairs otherwise so as to undermine the Saddam/al-Qaeda connection. But to pretend like he wouldn't have become a major force to be reckoned with minus the US invasion is pure BS. But don't believe me, believe Hans-Josef Beth, the head of the German BND, who called him an al-Qaeda leader with experience in chemical and biological weapons back in October 2002.
