Following the news of yet another close call for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and the news that U.S. authorities confiscated Zarqawi’s computer that is believed to have contained pictures of the terrorist, I find it fitting to post the following pictures of Zarqawi. Many of these pictures are new in terms of ones that I had never seen before.

I do not know if these pictures were found on the hard drive of Zarqawi’s computer as these pictures were found in a Zipped file on a radical Islamic message board. If these were on the hard drive, one has to laugh at the narcissistic nature of Zarqawi who would carry around a laptop filled with his own pictures. There were many other photos including Ayman al-Zawahri, though those were simply screenshots of al-Zawahri as he appeared on Al Jazeera.

Below the fold, that’s the ‘Read more here’ link, are the photos of Abu Musab al-Zarawi.

Zarqawi the professor of Basket Weaving 101.

Every jihadist loves to get chummy with the now bearded wonder Zarqawi.

Zarqawi as he appeared on The Dating Show.

Bachlorette: Bachelor number 2, what would you do to show me a good time?
Zarqawi: First I’d put a burqa on your head and then beat you senseless as is Allah’s will. Then I’d stone you to death for being promiscuous.
Bachlorette: Uh . . .
Host: Haha, where do we get these guys?
Zarqawi: It was God’s will that I appear on this show.

More images of Zarqawi and the Martyrs who should begin touring the caves of Afghanistan shortly.

The familiar mug shot of Zarqawi.

Zarqawi as a young man before the perils of insanity had won the battle in his mind. So much hope, so many dreams, all for not.

Another picture of Zarqawi as a young man. Watch in amazement as Zarqawi tries to grow a beard.

Yet another picture of Zarqawi as a young man, this time in 1991.

Yes, another young Zarqawi, this time laughing.

Zarqawi the theologian.

This picture was taken of Zarqawi when he tried to start his new business. No one doubted at the time that people would not have lined up for miles to buy his new product, the no-hands mouse.

This was a picture taken of Zarqawi that appeared in the 2002 Terrorist Yearbook.

When the photographer held baby rattles in front of Zarqawi for him to smile, this small grin was all he could muster.

This is the picture Zarqawi places on online dating services under the title of ‘Radical Islamic Nutjob Seeks Punching Bag.’ Strangely he does not get many responses.

This is Zarqawi modeling head shot.

Ok, explain this one for me.
