Bush Says Zarqawi Killed Berg, Cites Saddam 'Ties' Fri May 14, 7:41 PM ET Add Politics to My Yahoo! By Caren Bohan MEQUON, Wis. (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) on Friday blamed al Qaeda supporter Abu Musab al-Zarqawi for beheading American Nicholas Berg and cited him as an example of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s "terrorist ties" before the U.S.-led war in Iraq (news - web sites). Bush's revival of accusations linking Saddam to terrorism comes as the president faces growing doubts among Americans over his Iraq policy. At a fund-raising lunch in Bridgeton, Missouri, Bush said Zarqawi was an example of the threat posed by the ousted Iraqi leader. "We knew he (Saddam) had terrorist ties. The person responsible for the Berg death, Zarqawi, was in and out of Baghdad prior to our arrival, for example," Bush said. A video of Berg's beheading was posted this week to an Islamist Web site. The grisly film included a statement, signed off with Zarqawi's name, that urged Muslims to take revenge for Iraqi prisoners abused by U.S. soldiers at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. The CIA (news - web sites) on Thursday said Zarqawi was probably the one who beheaded Berg.
