al-Qaeda for the day

Rico says the Clarion Project brings us news (like Alan Liddell) of fresh disasters, and this guy is one of them:

Famous for his cruelty and targeted attacks on Shi'ites, al-Qaeda’s former leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, served in that position until he was killed in a US air strike in 2006. Now, seven years after his death, terror in the country has a new face, that of 27-year-old Iraqi Shaker Wahiyib al-Fahdawi.
Fahdawi rose to notoriety after a video recently emerged depicting the 2 July 2013 execution of three Syrian truck drivers on a highway in western Iraq. In the footage, Fahdawi is seen with his face unmasked as he interrogates the three men about their religious background. Once the drivers are identified as Alawites, a branch of Shi'ite Islam, they are made to kneel down and are shot at close range. Throughout the video, the militants appeared to show no regard for the possibility of security forces chancing upon them, despite the fact that the execution took place in broad daylight on a major highway. Most striking of all, however, was Fahdawi’s uncovered face, which was in stark contrast with that of his accomplices, who carefully masked their own.
"He is the only one who kills without covering his face, and is working on declaring an Islamic state," said Colonel Yassin Dwaij, head of western Iraq’s Anbar province police intelligence. "He is dangerous and cunning," Dwij added.
These recent killings, however, are far from Fahdawi’s first foray into the world of Islamic terror extremism. He was previously detained by US security forces at southern Iraq’s Camp Bucca, before being sentenced to death and imprisoned in Salaheddin province in the north. Fahdawi escaped from jail last year and has been on the run ever since. But, in recent months, he has attracted increasing public attention.
In March of 2013, Fahdawi appeared in online videos reading a poem at a demonstration in Fallujah, after anti-government protests had first erupted in his native Anbar province three months earlier.
Authorities have since pinned the blame on him for a myriad of terror-related offences, with security officials in Anbar province placing a $50,000 bounty on his head. Little progress in bringing him to justice appears to have been made.
Just two months after footage emerged of him at the protest in Fallujah, Fahdawi was accused of leading militants in kidnapping sixteen policemen along the Iraq-Jordan highway in Anbar province, leaving twelve of them dead and four wounded. Now, with the video of the truck driver killings, Fahdawi has become one of the most visible faces of al-Qaeda in Iraq since Zarqawi.
"The terrorist who killed the truck drivers is one of the most dangerous al-Qaeda figures today," said an army major general, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He forms part of the new generation, representing some of al-Qaeda's former figures, like Zarqawi, but even more extremist."

Rico says they need to whack this guy... (But isn't his name reminiscent of Rico's friend Christopher's famous Fugawi, as in 'where the fugawi?')
