The Washington Post today reports on a Jihadist who was captured and arrested by Jordanian intelligence agents. The Jordanian government announced the arrest of Ziad Khalaf al-Kerbouly yesterday and broadcast his confession on Al-Arabiya television.
Kerbouly said he was an Iraqi customs agent along the western border with Jordan and was in a position to know who was entering and leaving Iraq, and to kill them if it suited al-Qaeda's purposes. Among his targets was a Jordanian truck driver who, he said, hauled goods to Americans in Iraq.
"His name was Khalid al-Dasouqi," Kerbouly recalled in a flat tone. "He said, 'What will you do?' I said, 'I will kill you.' He started to beg me, 'Please, do not kill me,' and so I said, 'I must kill you.' He kept on begging me, and I pulled my personal pistol and said to him, 'Say your prayers.' He said them as he was begging.
"Immediately I shot him twice in the head. I left him in that spot and he was handcuffed and blindfolded. I made sure that he was dead, put his passport and papers over him and went away."
The wife of the executed truck-driver, whom Kerbouly called after he committed the murder
interviewed separately in the broadcast as one of her daughters wept, suggested that Kerbouly be executed in front of a mosque.
I guess she doesn't consider him a Holy Warrior.
