al Qaida WMD specialist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,...

Like notorious terrorists Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas,...

OK, so does "Abu" mean psychotic, fanatical, murderous, or all of the above?

Wasn't that the monkey's name in Aladdin?

What happens if you combine Abu and Mohammed in the same name ?

"Abu Mohammed Abu Osama" or somesuch.

Frankly I think the reason the terrorists have not succeeded more is because there names all contain 42 words. When the have a terror conference they have to spend so much time introducing each other they never get past the "icebreaker" when the conference is over.
