Al-Karbouly was captured by Jordanian
71st Counter Terrorism Battalion with the aid of
Jordanian intelligence officers in May 2006, and accused of being
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's assistant which Karbouly denied. Karbouly told the tribunal that he was "innocent". He also disputed the prosecution's version that he was captured inside Iraq in a joint operation of the Jordanian army and intelligence on 10 May. He told the tribunal that he had been
kidnapped "from Lebanon on May 6." On 23 May 2006, he admitted that he had abducted and killed citizens from Jordan and Iraq, and had abducted two Moroccans in October 2005. ==Execution==
