Ziad Khalaf al-Karbouly (
Arabic: زياد خلف الكربولي; 1970 - died 4 February 2015), a native of Al-Qa'im, was an Islamist former Iraqi officer and the son of an Iraqi tribal sheikh of the Al-Karabla clan of the Dulaim.[1]
Arrest and trial
Al-Karbouly was captured by Jordanian
71st Counter Terrorism Battalion with the aid of Jordanian intelligence officers in May 2006, and accused of being Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's assistant which Karbouly denied.[2] Karbouly told the tribunal that he was "innocent". He also disputed the prosecution's version that he was captured inside Iraq in a joint operation of the Jordanian army and intelligence on 10 May. He told the tribunal that he was instead kidnapped "from Lebanon on May 6."[3] On 23 May 2006, he admitted that he had abducted and killed citizens from Jordan and Iraq, and had abducted two Moroccans in October 2005.[4][5]
Execution
Al-Karbouly was sentenced to death, and along with failed suicide bomber
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[6]
