Description

In Feb. 2003, then Sec. of State Colin Powell singled out Abu Mos’ab al Zarqawi as the leader of a terrorist group in Iraq that formed part of ‘a sinister nexus between Iraq & the al Qaeda terrorist network’. In fact Zarqawi & Saddam Hussein were bitter enemies & he was not a member of al Qaeda. But in the chaos caused by the U.S.-U.K. invasion he has created a highly effective alliance with Saddam loyalists, & bin Laden himself has named him the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Author Napoleoni shows how, through force of personality & American propaganda, Zarqawi has emerged as the symbol of insurgency in Iraq. She further reveals the ethnic, religious & economic forces that are driving Iraq towards breakdown & civil war.
