Karbouli confession provides insight into the mindset of al-Qaeda in Iraq member |
2006-05-25 |
An alleged agent of the group al-Qaeda in Iraq told a chilling story of hijacking, kidnapping and murder in the name of holy war Tuesday, a day after the Jordanian government announced his arrest in an operation carried out in Iraq. In a videotaped confession broadcast on Jordanian state television, Ziad Khalaf al-Kerbouly related his deeds without a trace of emotion. Though Jordan's government billed him as a high-ranking al-Qaeda operative arrested in the murder of a Jordanian citizen, Kerbouly's account made him sound more like a simple foot soldier for Iraq's most prominent insurgent organization. |

#1 Stumbling across a picture of Dasouqi's four young daughters, he said, "I had a kind of a reaction." If his "reaction" was a thousand times stronger I'd be tempted to think he might have been human. Perhaps he's misunderstood or could be rehabilitated. Any of you handwringers want to volunteer? Or do you just want to sit on the side and complain with no real purpose in mind? |
