The widow of an Algerian diplomat slain last year by al-Qaida in Iraq on Friday hailed the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, but warned he could turn into a martyr.
"I would have liked him to be captured and tortured until he said where he buried the remains of my husband, and the other hostages," she said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Ali Belaroussi, 62, headed Algeria‘s diplomatic mission in Baghdad. He and Belkadi, 38, were seized at gunpoint from a street in the upscale Mansour district of western Baghdad.
"If I had the opportunity, I would go to Jordan to tell his relatives that Zarqawi is in no way a shahid (martyr), or a Muslim," Belaroussi said, referring to the terror leader‘s home country. |
