Zarqawi's Journey: From Dropout to Prisoner to Insurgent Leader
July 2004 profile of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was considered by U.S. officials to be "the biggest terrorist threat in Iraq." Reviews his youth in Jordan, how he became a reporter for a small jihadist magazine, his imprisonment in the 1990s "after the Jordanian authorities discovered assault rifles and bombs stashed in his house," and his terrorist connections with al-Qaida. From The New York Times.
