Deliver Zarqawi ‘or face military crackdown’
Fallujah, in Iraq’s Sunni Muslim heartland, is believed to be a stronghold of al-Zarqawi’s feared Tawhid and Jihad group, which has kidnapped and beheaded foreigners and has carried out bloody bomb attacks.
“If they do not turn in al-Zarqawi and his group, we will carry out operations in Fallujah,” Prime Minister Ayad Allawi told a meeting of the interim National Council yesterday.
