The owner of a fancy restaurant in Tangiers, in the north of Morocco, the 26-year-old left his country and wandered on his way to jihad until he was asked by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al-Tawhid wal-Jihad organization to launch the second attack on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad in September 2003.
While the Iraqi conflict may seem distant from a geographical and local political viewpoint, the eagerness of some to answer Zarqawi's call for jihad is hardly surprising in a region where anti-US sentiment has increased since the war on Iraq.
The candidates for jihad have dramatically diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds, yet they unite in their radical interpretation of Islam, and most of all, their conviction that it is their duty to fight against the invasion of Iraq by "infidels".

Tawhid means monotheism, or the oneness of Allah (God).
The counterpart to tawhid is shirk, which translates as 'polytheism' but literally means sharing Allah's attributes with others.
This more extreme interpretation of tawhid, which has been used as a license to condemn ordinary Muslims as polytheists, is sometimes referred to by political theorists as neo-tawhid.

Reports from militants claim that Iran was concerned over their location and asked them to move three miles from the border to avoid any direct contact between Iranians and the Ansar forces.

The stated goals of JTJ are to force a withdrawal of U.S-led forces from Iraq, topple the Iraqi interim government and assassinate collaborators with the "occupation," marginalize the Shiite Muslim population and defeat its militias, and to subsequently establish a pure Sunni Islamic state.
Presumably, if and when those goals are achieved, the global jihad would continue to establish a pan-Islamic state and remove Western influence from the Muslim world.
