<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Zarqawi was betrayed by Al Qaeda!</b>
Ex-army chief Aslam Beg was quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt as saying that the jihadi forces had themselves betrayed Zarqawi so that the Americans could kill him. Hence it was success for the US as well Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda had not agreed with Zarqawiâs violent policies and was not in favour of his killing the Shias in Iraq. He said now the Islamic forces were more able to fight jihad as it should be fought.

<b>General Ashraf Qaziâs own culture</b>

<b>Zarqawi was shaheed!</b> <!--emo&

Writing in Jang Abdul Qadir Hasan said that Pakistani TV channels and newspapers erred by not calling Abu Musaâb al Zarqawi a shaheed because the Americans had called him a terrorist. The newspaper also reported that Osama bin Laden and Mullah Umar called Zarqawi a shaheed. Abdul Qadir Hasan said if Maulana Amin Ahsan Islahi could declare General Zia a shaheed why could not Zarqawi fighting against forces of evil be declared shaheed?
<b>How Zarqawi was born</b>
Columnist Hamid Mir wrote in Jang that Abu Musab Al Zarqawi listened to Abdullah Azzam and Abdur Rab Rasul Sayyaf in 1988 in a mosque in Jordan and was convinced by Sayyaf to come and fight jihad against the Soviets. Azzam was the philosopher of jihad and had taught at the International Islamic University of Islamabad and then moved to Peshawar to set up what later developed into a fighting machine for Osama bin Laden. Zarqawi went to Peshawar in 1989 and was sent by Sayyaf through Miranshah to Khost where together with Jalaluddin Haqqani he drove the Russians out. The Americans wanted the mujahideen to make peace and Islamabad was anxious to get rid of the Arabs in Peshawar. Zarqawi met Al Maqdasi in Peshawar and made him his spiritual father, but Maqdasi was an extremist on Arab-Israel accords of 1993. That year Zarqawi returned to Jordan and was arrested for opposing the accords and sentenced for life only to be let off in 1999 on the coronation of king Abdullah. He went to Peshawar and was imprisoned there too but influential friends got him out. Haqqani then sent him to Herat to train new warriors. From Herat he went to Kandahar in December 2001 where he was wounded by an American bomb. He them went to Torabora and joined Osama bin Laden, but his route out of Afghanistan was through Iran with Hekmatyarâs help. He was not liked by Osama for his anti-Shia outlook but he soon gave it up and was thereafter owned by Osama.
<b>Religious groups bless Zarqawi</b>
Reported in Jang a religious group said the ghaebana namaz janaza (funeral prayer in absentia) for Abu Musaâb Zarqawi in Lahore and condemned the Foreign Office for saying that death of the Shia-killer in Iraq was an achievement in the war against terrorism. The congregation that blessed Zarqawi kept crying zaar-o-qataar (in great intensity) for the great shaheed. In the National Assembly the MMA demanded fateha for Zarqawi but was denied by the speaker. In Nawa-e-Waqt Jamaat Islami leader Munawwar Hasan said that Pakistan was reluctant to call Zarqawi shaheed as that would offend Washington.Â
<b>Zarqawi was kicked to death</b>
Daily Nawa-e-Waqt reported that according to an eyewitness in Iraq, Zarqawi was not killed by a bomb but was first captured in a wounded state by American troops who then kicked him to death, repeatedly asking him to identify himself. They were scared of him because he was wearing a suicide belt.
