| [DAWN] IN 2004 Abu Musab Zarqawi, leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, wrote a letter to the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... in which he set out his organization's strategy. Outlining Iraq's ethnic and sectarian fault lines, Zarqawi declared his intention to target Iraq's majority Shia population in order to create a reaction against Iraq's Sunnis. He wrote, "If we succeed in dragging [the Shias] into the arena of sectarian war, it will become possible to awaken the inattentive Sunnis as they feel imminent danger and annihilating death at the hands of the [Shias]." The logic was that those Sunnis, or some of them at least, would then flock to Al Qaeda's banners. At the very least, the idea of coexistence and political compromise, abhorrent as it was to Zarqawi, would be badly damaged if not destroyed. |
