Fatah al-IslamHome: Leadership: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Fatah al-Islam Leadership : Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
al-Abssi was responsible for the brutal, cowardly terrorist attack upon USAID official Lawrence Foley in Amman, Jordan in 2002. Both he al-Zarqawi (who was shot dead by U.S. miliitary forces in Iraq) were tried and convicted by Jordanian authorities in absentia for Foley’s murder. Jordanian authorities sentenced al-Abbsi to death for Foley’s murder on Jordanian soil. Although al-Zarqawi was not a member of Fatah al-Islam when he was still alive (the Lebanese-based terrorist group didn’t even exist until late 2006), the ideology and terror tactics adopted by Fatah Islam bear the marks of the al Qaeda in Iraq-styled attacks made by Zarqawi and the terrorists that he trained. |
