Looks like he was correct in being concerned about our Marines and the Iraqis coming after his Islamodumbos.
RE: Abu Ahmed
Somehow I think this is another guy. Someone heading a group that is responsible for beheadings, etc. seems an unlikely negotiating delegate. I think it may just be a coincidence.
I read the info about an Abu Ahmed who was named as a negotiator with the Allawi Gov. over Fallujah. This guy cut off "negotations" when Allawi demanded the Fallujahns turn over Zarqawi to the Gov. This guy actually was involved in bringing down Hell on the city by their refusal to comply with giving up Zarqawi. So I think he was a phony "negotiator"...this was just the terrorists "war by other means". Doesn't prove it's the same guy, but I think it is possible.
