Al-Zarqawi reportedly threatens to kill Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi

[Cannikin]

CAIRO, Egypt - An audio recording purportedly made by al-Qaida-linked militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and found online Wednesday threatened to assassinate Iraq's interim prime minister and said the fight against "infidels" would continue "until Islamic rule is back on earth."

"As for you (Iyad) Allawi ... you don't know that you have already survived traps we made for you. We promise you that we will continue the game with you until the end," the online recording said. "We will not get bored until we make you drink from the same glass that Izzadine Saleem tasted."

Saleem, a former Governing Council president also known as Abdel-Zahraa Othman, was killed May 18 in a car bombing in Baghdad.

"You (Allawi) are the symbol of evil and the infidel nation; you are the source of all traitors," the recording said.

1. It doesn't matter who's in power

There will continue to be assassinations, bombings, and terror...whether Americans stay or not.

2. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

Who appointed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi the grand determiner of who is a believer and who is an "infidel". What an A-hole!

6. Sadr doesn't fit the new "bad guy" profile

Americas enemies now have to have a wooden leg or be hooked up to a dialysis machine in a cave.

7. Muqtada al-Sadr is a wannabe.

My impression is that Mookie's support was weak outside his small group of fanatics and he couldn't keep his sicko show running for long.

They are both bad guys, but I think al-Zarqawi is a bigger threat. His goons have killed more Iraqi civilians and coalition troops. I hope they catch him soon.
