MEMRI Ticker: One of Jund al-Shams founders killed at Qaim
2005-07-16
Ain-Al-Yaqeen stated on July 1st that: 'The right hand man of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is thought to have died in the same U.S. raid, on the town of al-Qaim near the Syrian border, in which the wanted Saudi Abdullah Rushud lost his life. Abu al-Ghadiya al-Suri's death was also reported by the Arab newspaper Al-Hayat, which cited a source close to al-Qaida as confirming that al-Suri was killed several days ago, around the time Rushud's death was announced in a statement attributed to al-Zarqawi. Abu al-Ghadiya al-Suri is considered one of the leading members of the Jund al-Sham organization, founded with al-Zarqawi in 1999 in Herat. He is considered the brains behind al-Zarqawi's group.' (Ain-al-Yaqeen, Saudi Arabia, 7/1/05)
I'm trying to figure just how many organizations Zark controls. There's Jund al-Shams, al-Tawhid, Ansar al-Islam, the Omar Brigade, and al-Qaeda in Iraq, just off the top of my head.

#1  Does it really matter that they claim to have so many groups? They are just street punks that use gangster mentality.

Like I mentioned before, I will believe it when I see the cold, dead bodies. Until then, it's as usual. We are still at war. I know some want to forget that fact, but I cannot. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
