Zarqawi: Skimpy clothes found
10/06/2006 14:11 - (SA)
Hibhib - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was accompanied by women who wore skimpy clothes and read magazines on current affairs and militant propaganda, an inspection of the house he was killed in showed on Saturday.
The remains of Zarqawi's isolated "safe house" also suggested that the al-Qaeda leader in Iraq and his companions - which an Iraqi army officer said included two women and an eight-year-old girl - lived with few luxuries.
The US military took reporters to the site in the village of Hibhib, near the town of Baquba north of Baghdad, three days after the death of Zarqawi, blamed for beheading hostages and killings hundreds of people in suicide bombings.
At the site surrounded by palm groves, two thin foam mattresses were scattered among the debris of smashed concrete and twisted metal.
Leopard skin nightgown
There were few clues on Zarqawi's extreme ideology or the militant groups he was linked to in the rubble of the building that was pulverised by two 227kg bombs in a US air strike on Wednesday.
One leaflet identified a radio station in Latifiya south of the capital as an apparent target.
A few feet away was a magazine picture of former US president Franklin D Roosevelt.
Also beside the slabs of concrete was a woman's leopard skin nightgown and other skimpy women's clothes.
The US military had said the air strike killed a total of six people, three males and three females.
It said on Friday that a wounded Zarqawi was still alive when US troops reached the site but died shortly afterwards.
Looking over the site where Iraq's most wanted man may have been plotting more suicide bombs, an Iraqi soldier said he felt a great sense of relief.
