Abu Omar Al-Kurdi
Sami Mohammad Ali Said Jaff (1968-2007), also known as Abu Omar al-Kurdi, was a bomb-maker for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Biography Abu Omar al-Kurdi was an ethnic Kurd from the Jaff tribe. He was a veteran of Jihad in Afghanistan, where he allegedly mastered his bomb-making skills. He returned to Iraq in 2003 where he met Zarqawi and would later become his top bomb-maker. Allegedly, al-Kurdi's bomb-making was made possible by using hundreds of rockets and explosives stolen from Iraqi military warehouses by another member, Ammar az-Zubaidi, early in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. By the time he was arrested on January 15, 2005, he was already responsible for 75 percent of the car bomb attacks in Iraq since August 2003 but only confessed to 32 of them. These included the attack on the Jordanian embassy, the Canal Hotel bombing, the Imam Ali mosque bombing, the attack on the Italian base in Nasiriyya and the attack that killed Ezzedine Salim Ezzedine Salim ( ar, عز الدين سلي ...

Deaths By Firearm In Iraq
Death is the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain an organism. For organisms with a brain, death can also be defined as the irreversible cessation of functioning of the whole brain, including brainstem, and brain death is sometimes used as a legal definition of death. The remains of a former organism normally begin to decompose shortly after death. Death is an inevitable process that eventually occurs in almost all organisms. Death is generally applied to whole organisms; the similar process seen in individual components of an organism, such as cells or tissues, is necrosis. Something that is not considered an organism, such as a virus, can be physically destroyed but is not said to die. As of the early 21st century, over 150,000 humans die each day, with ageing being by far the most common cause of death. Many cultures and religions have the idea of an afterlife, and also may hold the idea of judgement of good and bad deeds in one's life ( h ...
