U.S. Releases New Zarqawi Images

What is it with Zarqawi and his love for nice clean, white American running shoes? He was wearing them the day he supposedly beheaded Nick Berg.

He was also remarkably nimble, that day, for a man with a prosthetic leg.

U.S. Releases New Zarqawi Images:

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military command Thursday released previously unseen images of a video purportedly posted by al-Qaida in Iraq's leader, showing him decked out in American tennis shoes and unable to operate his machine gun.
The video, discovered in a series of raids in April on purported al-Qaida in Iraq safe houses in the Youssifiyah area, 12 miles southwest of Baghdad, gave a view of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi that the Jordanian-born militant chose not to show the world, said Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, spokesman for the U.S. command.
But as the previously unseen video was shown, Lynch mocked al-Zarqawi, suggesting his weapon jammed and he was unable to fix it. "
