Who is your fav Terrorist of all time ?
I liked only Carlos the jackal. He was the best. He was not really a terrorist but freelance assassin. Precisely on target all the time. :k:
Zarqawi and bin laden are so over rated. Assuming that Zarqawi exists in real world, he still is no comparison to the Jackal.
Check out the bold part, whom they are trying to fool ? Carlos was the smartest man, always on target. But Zarqawi’s portfolio is just ordinary, stupid killing , dumbest type of bombing, suicide attack. Who the hell made him “Public enemy No !”

And this is precisely what we have in Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the West’s new “public enemy No 1”. Zarqawi and his group are now “responsible” for every dark deed carried out against Anglo-American goals in Iraq, including the latest “barbaric” videotaped beheadings.
The US State Department has increased the reward for his arrest from $10 million to $25 million, which puts his “market value” at par with that of Osama.
Since early 2004, Zarqawi has been in the news almost on a daily basis. In contrast to Osama bin Laden, Zarqawi has no family history and he supposedly comes from an impoverished Palestinian family in Jordan. His parents are dead. He emerged out of the blue.
He is described by CNN as “a lone wolf” who is said to act independent of Al Qaeda. He seems to be in several places at the same time. He is described as “the chief US enemy”, “a master of disguise and bogus identification papers”. We are led to believe this “lone wolf” manages to outwit the powerful US intelligence operatives.
According to the* Weekly Standard* which is known to have a close relationship to the Bush administration:
“Abu Musab al Zarqawi is hot right now. He masterminded not only Berg’s murder but also the Madrid carnage on March 11, the bombardment of Shia worshippers in Iraq the same month, and the April 24 suicide attack on the port of Basra. But he is far from a newcomer to slaughter. Well before 9/11, he had already concocted a plot to kill Israeli and American tourists in Jordan. His label is on terrorist groups and attacks on four continents.” (Weekly Standard, 24 May 2004)

One drawback in this unipolar world is that now, the supper power needs to boast the status of its enemy to make it presentable to world.
Carlos had the strong backing of Communists. And after the collapse of communism Carlos lost all the friend and was caught within few years.
Saddam husain had the same fate, although his friend and foe were one and the same.
Is Zarqawi any different ?. Does he work without strong support/backing.? (suppose he exists )
