Zarqawi, Abu Musab al-

Zarqawi, Abu Musab al-
▪ 2007
Ahmad Fadil Nazal al-Khalayleh  Jordanian-born Iraqi militant (b. Oct. 20/30, 1966, Al-Zarqa, Jordan—d. June 7, 2006, Baʿqubah, Iraq), as the self-styled leader in Iraq of the Islamic militant group al-Qaeda, was thought by many to have been the mastermind behind numerous terrorist acts, including the murder in 2002 of a U.S. diplomat in Jordan, the 2003 bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad, and the beheading of several foreign hostages in Iraq. Zarqawi dropped out of school as a boy and allegedly became involved in criminal activities before embracing militant Islam. He traveled in 1989 to Afghanistan, where he reportedly forged ties with al-Qaeda. After returning to Jordan in the early 1990s, he was imprisoned for terrorist activities, but he was released in a general amnesty in 1999. Zarqawi was little known outside the region until U.S. officials in 2003 identified him as an associate of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden. Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. military air strike.
