Zarqawi Denounces Iraqi Government, Bush in New Video

HeadlineApr 26, 2006

In Iraq, Al Qaeda figure Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has released a new video denouncing the Iraqi government and warning of further attacks. The video is the first in which Zarquawi has willingly showed his face. On the tape, Zarquawi calls the Iraqi government an American “stooge” and a “poisoned dagger” in the heart of the Muslim world. Zarqawi also addressed President Bush, saying: “Your dreams will be defeated by our blood and by our bodies. What is coming is even worse.”
