The Terrorist Who Became a Household Name
In February 2015, Jordan's King Abdullah II ordered the execution of Sajida al-Rishawi, a failed suicide bomber from Jordan's deadliest terrorist attack a decade earlier. This execution marked the culmination of a terrifying legacy that began in a remote desert prison and evolved into ISIS-the most feared terrorist organization on earth. The mastermind behind that original attack was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a figure who would transform from an obscure Jordanian criminal into the architect of modern jihadism. His organization's black flags would eventually fly over territory larger than many countries, inspiring terror across continents. How did a high-school dropout with a criminal past create the precursor to what would become the world's most notorious terrorist organization? The answer lies in a journey that begins in Jordan's notorious al-Jafr prison, winds through Afghanistan's training camps, and culminates in the blood-soaked streets of Iraq.
