BAGHDAD, March 8 (UPI) -- The Iraqi government put two new photograph's of the country's most-wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, into circulation Tuesday, The Telegraph reports.
Zarqawi is suspected of being behind many of the country's worst insurgent attacks, including last week's explosion in Hilla that killed 125 people, and the beheading of British hostage Kenneth Bigley. The United States is offering a $25 million bounty for information leading to his arrest.
The new photographs were published in newspapers and posted on streets as the city of Samarra was surrounded by U.S. troops and Iraqi army soldiers on intelligence reports Zarqawi was hiding in the insurgent stronghold north of Baghdad.
One photograph shows him bearded with cropped hair, and in the other he is wearing a black and white patterned headdress. The newspaper said it's believed they were taken within the past two years, although neither provide clues as to his location.
