Zarqawi Aide to Get Death Sentence

Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly, a top aide to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, has had his death sentence confirmed by a Jordanian court. Al-Karbouly confessed to plotting the kidnapping of Moroccan embassy workers Abderrahim Boualam, a driver, and Abdelkrim el-Mouhafidi, a diplomat .

The 2 were judged "apostates" by a sharia (Islamic law) court set up by al Qaeda in Iraq and given the death sentence. In other words, they were murdered. Since there murder was at Zarqawi's request, it was most likely a brutal and slow death.

The death sentence in Jordan was given to al-Karbouly for his involvement in other murders perpetrated by AQI on Jordanian truck drivers in Iraq. For a period of time al Qaeda and their allies in The Army of Ansar al Sunnah murdered dozens of Jordanian, Iraqi, & Turkish civilian truck drivers--any one they could get their filthy hands on.

Good riddance to Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly and all who served Abu Musab al Zarqawi. He will not be missed.
