Al-Zarqawi Blasts Mentor for Remarks

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi criticized his spiritual mentor for urging militants in Iraq to rein in attacks on civilians and warned that the sheik's comments could split Islamic fighters, according to a purported statement posted on an Islamic Web site Tuesday.

The statement, signed by al-Zarqawi, warned his sheik - Isam Mohammed al-Barqawi - ``do not follow the path of Satan that leads to your destruction. Beware, our noble sheik, of the trick of God's enemies to lure you to drive a wedge in the ranks of the mujahedeen.''

Al-Barqawi, known in militant circles as Abu Mohammed al-Maqdisi, said in an interview with Al-Jazeera from Jordan last week that militants in Iraq should revise their tactics, saying ``the number of Iraqis killed in suicide operations has become a tragedy.''

Al-Barqawi, who has known al-Zarqawi for more than a decade and taught him radical ideology in prison, gave the interview after he was released from a Jordanian prison. The sheik was arrested again by the Jordanians soon after the interview was taped on suspicion of contacts with militant groups.

I won't accept anything less. <sarcasm>

3. Maqdisi believes in overthrowing Arab regimes

But, unlike Zarqawi he doesn't believe in targeting muslim women and children.

10. Oh yes, quite the regime overthrower that Maqdisi n/t

[ECH1969]

11. Maqdisi is Kuwaiti cleric

And, wants to overthrow the Kuwaiti government, I don't even need to tell you that he hasn't been able to accomplish shit in that regard.

5. I believe the AL means from and Zarqawi is a city or

region. That is why you will see so many of them have more than one name. One is their original name and later they become known as from their home region. That is the way I understand it.

6. Interesting choice of words. Why didn't they say that Z "exploded

with anger" while they were at it?

7. Karl Zarqawi?

8. Zarqawi really is quite the multi tasker for a one legged dead guy

i believe nothing that gets reported on him after the last "almost caught" story about him jumping out of a moving truck and hopping away from coalition troops.
