Yemeni Al-Qaida Recruit Reportedly Killed in Iraq

By Evan Kohlmann

Supporters of Al-Qaida and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the Arabian Peninsula have released the biography, martyrdom will, and audio recordings of an Al-Qaida recruit from Yemen recently killed in a suicidal assault on U.S. military personnel in central Iraq.  An avid supporter of Al-Qaida himself, Abu Zubair al-Yemeni explained on one recording, "When the towers were hit on September 11th, America stood up and has not sat down yet.  Her people gave money and discussed what they wanted to do.  They discussed what they wanted to do, until their discussions brought about their death."  Abu Zubair also called Usama Bin Laden "courageous", "determined", and "one of Islam's most impressive."
