al-Zarqawi captured?
January 4th, 2005 at 9:50 am by Preston Taylor HolmesThere are reports out that al-Zarqawi has been captured in Iraq.
Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi, whom the US occupation authorities declared to be the “target number one” in Iraq, has been arrested in the city of Baakuba, the Emirate newspaper al-Bayane reported on Tuesday referring to Kurdish sources.
Al-Zarqawi, leader of the terrorist group Al-Tawhid Wa’al-Jihad, was recently appointed the director of the Al-Qaeda organisation in Iraq.
The newspaper’s correspondent in Baghdad points out that a report on the seizure of the terrorist, on whom the US put a bounty of US$10 million, was also reported by Iraqi Kurdistan radio, which at one time had been the first to announce the arrest of Saddam Hussein.
Who is OBL going to turn to now?
UPDATE:
If the arrest story turns out to be true (and I know this will never happen), but I hope that a beheading video soon surfaces depicting al-Zarqawi getting his filthy head cut off with a semi-rusty kitchen knife as he screams.
