Zarqawi 'sacked for mistakes'
02 April 2006
Iraq's resistance has replaced Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as political head of the rebels, the son of Osama bin Laden's mentor has said in Jordan.

Hudayf Azzam, 35, who claims close contacts with the fighters, said on Sunday: "The Iraqi resistance's high command asked Zarqawi to give up his political role and replaced him with an Iraqi, because of several mistakes he made.
"Zarqawi's role has been limited to military action. Zarqawi bowed to the orders two weeks ago and was replaced by Iraqi national Abdullah bin Rashed al-Baghdadi."

Good riddence to him and Jaffari.....things have to get better now!

Zarqawi is known to be sadistic and if they're replacing him with al-Baghdadi, we can only assume he's worse.

BugmanIraq.....I like your way of thinking.

I did not see that spin on it but can believe it. That would be just what he is waiting for.

Well they did say that Zarqawi's role has been limited to military action, so it's a possibility.
