“Another very publicized attack that [al Qaeda in Iraq leader] Abu Musab al-Zarqawi likely perpetrated was a mid-May [17, 2004] suicide car bomb explosion just outside the Green Zone [in Baghdad]. Seven Iraqis were killed and five wounded. One of the dead was Governing Council President Ezzedine Salim.”
