  Sulaiman Abu Ghaith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith (Arabic: سليمان بوغيث) (born 1965 or 1966?) is an Kuwaiti Islamist militant regarded as Al-Qaida's official spokesman.
Abu Ghaith first gained attention during the 1990-1991 Iraqi invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
In July 2003, a Kuwaiti minister announced that the Iranian government had offered to extradite Abu Ghaith to Kuwait, but that Kuwait had refused the offer.

 Reason
Abu Ghaith is the vacant-eyed, loudmouthed "religious teacher" who appears now and then via tape on Al Jazeera TV.
That tape was a clincher for me: I’m now convinced that the barking Abu Ghaith’s homiletic inspiration is Boss Radio, the frenetically paced AM rock-radio format that ruled the pop airwaves from the mid-1960s until the early 1970s.
Abu Ghaith’s announcing needs some polishing, of course; he’s currently a tenth-rate Steele, but if he really commits himself, he has the makings of a ninth-rate Steele.

Referring to the war in Afghanistan that followed the Sept. attacks, Abu Ghaith said in the latest interview that the U.S.-led military campaign has failed to crush the fighters of the Taliban and al Qaeda, claiming that it has instead destroyed Afghan villages and towns.

 Al-Qaeda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, a well known figure in Iraq, was killed in a U.S. Airstrike on June 7, 2006 in an Al-Qaeda Safehouse in Baquba, Iraq
The feared Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi formally merged his organization "Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad" with al-Qaeda on 17 October 2004, and the organization began to use the banners of "Al-Qaeda in Iraq".
It is unknown the extent of Zarqawi's relation to the larger Al-Qaeda terrorist network though it appears the renaming of his insurgent cell was a move to boost legitamacy and recruitment rather than an actual sharing of goals, members, and weapons materiel.
