Interpol issues wanted notice for al-Zarqawi

The international police organisation Interpol today said it had issued an international wanted persons notice for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, who is wanted in several countries for terror attacks.

Interpol issued the Red Notice at the request of Algeria, which is seeking Zarqawi in connection with the kidnapping and murder of two Algerian diplomats in Iraq in July 2005, it said in a statement.
