Ain-Al-Yaqeen stated on July 1st that: 'The right hand man of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is thought to have died in the same U.S. raid, on the town of al-Qaim near the Syrian border, in which the wanted Saudi Abdullah Rushud lost his life. Abu al-Ghadiya al-Suri's death was also reported by the Arab newspaper Al-Hayat, which cited a source close to al-Qaida as confirming that al-Suri was killed several days ago, around the time Rushud's death was announced in a statement attributed to al-Zarqawi. Abu al-Ghadiya al-Suri is considered one of the leading members of the Jund al-Sham organization, founded with al-Zarqawi in 1999 in Herat. He is considered the brains behind al-Zarqawi's group.'
