And I thought Zarqawi was the beheading mastermind!
But no. Apparently, that title goes to Moayad Ahmed Yasseen (also known as Abu Ahmed).
Ahmed reportedly heads the group “Muhammad’s Army.” Ahmed seems to be incredibly well-connected. Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi said that Muhammad’s Army was known to have co-operated with Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida and Saddam loyalists and was responsible for killing and beheading a number of Iraqis, Arabs and foreigners in Iraq.
If Ahmed is working with Zarqawi and al-Qaeda and Saddam loyalists, he seems to be more of the terror mastermind than Zarqawi.
It will be interesting to see if his capture has any effect.
