'Zarqawi aimed for Shia-Sunni conflict'
2006-06-13
BAGHDAD: Slain Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi aimed to trigger a bloody regional Shia-Sunni conflict, state television reported Monday, as the US military prepared to reveal results of the autopsy on his corpse.

Iraq's state television Al-Iraqiya quoted the documents seized from his bombed safe house as saying Zarqawi planned to create a war between the Shias of Iraq and the Sunni Arabs in the Gulf. It said he aimed to create divisions within the Shia community and between "Shias and Americans and between Iraqi Shia politicians Ahmed Chalabi and Iyad Allawi," the former pro-Western premier of Iraq.
