The video bore the title "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an American." It was unclear whether al-Zarqawi — a lieutenant of Usama bin Laden — was shown in the video, or was claiming responsibility for ordering the execution.

The Web site on which the video was posted is known as a clearing house for Al Qaeda and Islamic extremist groups' statements and tapes. An audiotape purportedly from bin Laden — which the CIA said was probably authentic — appeared on the same Web site last week.

Western officials say al-Zarqawi, whose real name is Ahmad Fadhil al-Khalayleh, is a lieutenant of bin Laden. The United States has offered $10 million for information leading to the capture or killing of al-Zarqawi, saying he is trying to build a network of foreign militants in Iraq to work for Al Qaeda.

In the video, the speaker threatened both President Bush and Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf (search).

"As for you Bush ... expect severe days. You and your soldiers will regret the day you stepped into the land of Iraq," he said. He described Musharraf as "a traitor agent."

What are the chances of Zarqawi being in the vicinities of Fallujah?

It seems that Zarqawi would want to be in friendly territory, just like Saddam was hiding near his hometown.

Do most of you here believe the majority of the American people see the Hypocrisay of the Muslim world i.e.-the prison abuse photos vs what happened to Berg, Pearl or the 4 American contractors(or many other Islamic atrocities that never get mentioned or forgotten)?

Or do think most Americans are stupid and have their head in the sand?

I personally believe the latter. I've never been madder than what I am right now. When are the American people finally going to ake up and say we have to deal with these people harshly.
