Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly

A high-ranking aide of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the Iraq War, Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly (زياد خلف رجّا الكربولي) was captured by Jordanian intelligence officers in May 2006 and gave information that may have resulted in al-Zarqawi's death in an air strike a month later.[1]

A native of Al-Qa'im, he confessed to having kidnapped two Morocco embassy workers in Iraq in October 2005, while employed as a customs agent for the Iraqi government.
