Political Factoid
"IS [Islamic State] can trace its roots
back to the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,
a Jordanian who set up Tawhid wa
al-Jihad in 2002.
... A year after the
US-led invasion of Iraq,
Zarqawi pledged allegiance
to Osama Bin Laden and
formed al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI),
which became a major force
in the insurgency."
