No, but the name comes from a funny story about a Rhinoceros, in a place you could probably walk to from there.
If you were in Baghdad during the time that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (Z Man) was killing American servicemen, and making his terroristic snuff videos sawing off the heads of live captives with hunting knives, then you too were within the targets of the Assad Government.
They actively provided safe haven and supported Zarqawi and his organization, to attack Americans (Until he declared war on the Shi’ites).
The Assad Ba’ath Party remains a State sponsor of anti-American and anti-Israeli terrorist groups to this day.
