Ahmad Hashim Abd al-Isawi

Ahmad Hashim Abd al-Isawi was an al Qaeda terrorist operating in Iraq in the early 2000s.[1] He earned the nickname the "Butcher of Fallujah" after he murdered and disfigured five Americans and hung their bodies from the old bridge in Fallujah, Iraq.[2] In September 2009, a team of U.S. Navy SEALs captured al-Isawi in a nighttime raid in Fallujah, Iraq.[3]
