[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2592752, member: 24459"] I lifted this from wiki. This is why we shouldnt arm the Kurds and why the next country that may fall will probably be Jordan. "Al-Zarqawi started the network with the intention of overthrowing the Kingdom of Jordan, which he considered to be un-Islamic according to the four schools of*Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. For this purpose he developed numerous contacts and affiliates in several countries. Although it has not been verified, his network may have been involved in the late 1999*plot to bomb the Millennium celebrations*in the United States and Jordan. However, al-Zarqawi's operatives were responsible for the assassination of US diplomat*Laurence Foley*in Jordan in 2002.[165] Following the*US-led invasion of Afghanistan, al-Zarqawi moved westward into Iraq, where he reportedly received medical treatment in*Baghdad*for an injured leg. It is believed that he developed extensive ties in Iraq with*Ansar al-Islam("Partisans of Islam"), a Kurdish Islamic militant group based in the extreme northeast of the country. Ansar allegedly had ties to Iraqi Intelligence;*Saddam Hussein's motivation would have been to use Ansar as a surrogate force to repress secular Kurds fighting for the independence of*Kurdistan.[166]*In January 2003, Ansar's founder*Mullah Krekar*denied any connection with Saddam's government.[167] The consensus of intelligence officials has since been that there were no links whatsoever between al-Zarqawi and Saddam, and that Saddam viewed Ansar al-Islam "as a threat to the regime"[168]*and his intelligence officials were spying on the group. The 2006*Senate Report on Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq*concluded: "Postwar information indicates that Saddam Hussein attempted, unsuccessfully, to locate and capture al-Zarqawi and that the regime did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward al-Zarqawi."[168] Following the*2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, JTJ developed into an expanding militant network for the purpose of resisting the coalition occupation forces and their Iraqi allies. It included some of the remnants of Ansar al-Islam and a growing number of foreign fighters.
