The right guy met and befriended Bin Laden in 1989 in Afghanistan.
Had confirmed financing from Bin Laden in 1999.
Settle in northern Iraq in 2002.
Early in 2002, there were unverified reports from Afghan Northern Alliance members that Zarqawi had been killed by a missile attack in Afghanistan. Many news sources repeated the claim. Later, Kurdish groups claimed that Zarqawi had not died in the missile strike, but had been severely injured, and went to Baghdad in 2002 to have his leg amputated. On October 7, 2002, the day before Congress voted to give President Bush permission to invade Iraq, Bush gave a speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, that repeated this claim as fact. This was one of several of President Bush's primary examples of ways Saddam Hussein had aided, funded, and harbored al-Qaeda.
My point is unchanged. 
His connection to al qaeda is never rock solid and there is some speculation that al qaeda dropped the dime on him that lead to his death.
According to news(Druge)sources it was Al-Qaeda members caught in pakistan that help give information to the pakistani authorities. Which then turned it over the USA. This information helped us track him and other officials in his organization.
It was 1 specific person which they tracked that kept going to the house he was staying in. He made frequent visits according to reuters. That is when our generals made the decision to drop bombs over baghdad(dancing to the song).
Then we went in and made that it was the mastermind himself. Based on his tatoos and his bloody face!!
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
