    I did some googling on A-Zarqawi when I noticed some weak points in the first CNN story about Nick Berg. The results I got were rather contradictory, so I left them for when they make more sense. Since it was brought up, I am dumping some links here in reverse chronological order:

    Profile: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

    But some analysts contested the claim, pointing to Mr Zarqawi's historical rivalry with Bin Laden.

    Iraq militants claim al-Zarqawi is dead

    Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq “during the American bombing there,” according to a statement circulated in Fallujah this week and signed by the “Leadership of the Allahu Akbar Mujahedeen.”

    Avoiding attacking suspected terrorist mastermind
    March 02, 2004

    <snip>
    With Tuesday’s attacks, Abu Musab Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant with ties to al-Qaida, is now blamed for more than 700 terrorist killings in Iraq. But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.

    In the last one, Al-Zarqwawi is purported to promote sectarian war among Muslims, the Sunites against the Shiites. No such thing happened nor was attempted. Either the document was a forgery or written by an agent provocateur or Al-Zarqawi is/was just plain irrelevant to Iraq.
