The Hunt for Zarqawi

He was the most feared man in Iraq and a grave threat to the U.S. military there. Leaving a bloody trail of beheadings, bombings and kidnappings, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was one of the world's most wanted terrorists who tested the skill and determination of the most elite warriors in the U.S. Military. Proving to be as elusive as he was deadly, Zarqawi represented a new breed of terrorist, willing to slaughter fellow Muslims to achieve his objectives, which included sparking a civil war in Iraq. How did Zarqawi become such a notorious figure? How was he eventually located and killed after evading U.S. Special Forces for three years?

With exclusive access, National Geographic takes you inside the relentless manhunt for Abu Musad Al-Zarqawi, one of the world's most wanted terrorists.
