STOP PRESS: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi captured by US forces in Iraq

3.1.05

12.00 GMT. IDAO exclusive. According to IDAO's own sources in Baghdad and Sulaimanya, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been arrested in Bagouba by US forces.

The US occupation forces will cite this arrest as a victory for their war on terrorism. The people of Falluja in their demonstrations demanding US withdrawal of the last few days,which has topped 30,000 people according to news agency reports, have raised slogans distancing themselves from the Zarqwai group. The people of Falluja have repeatedly accused US forces of using Zarqawi as a pretext to demolish a city of 300,000 in an attempt to quell its resistance to the occupation. Many in the Iraqi resistance have expressed opposition to Zarqwi's methods in the past, who is regarded as a small force in the anti-occupation movement.

If true, this is awesome, especially after UBL's endorsement a week or two ago.

Crossing my fingers, and hoping this story holds water.

????????

[trebb]

I agree - I'm praying that it pans out.

[beebuster2000]

how come its not anywhere else? is is true?

[nuconvert]

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is reported captured about once every 2wks.
Got anything more?

[trebb]

UBL basically said they was on the same team.

[shezza]

Huh. Any idea how credible this source might be?

[Sthitch]

Whom or what is IDAO?

[Brilliant]

Exactly. Of course, you would not expect them to announce his arrest immediately after it happens. Hopefully it's not just a bunch of BS. On the other hand, the media reports from Iraq are so inaccurate, it's hard to believe.

[NorCalRepub]

what........confirmation please.......if this was true it would be blaring out cable news right now wouldn't it?

[skeeter]

Cautiously hopeful they've got that ugly bugger.

[massgopguy]

I'm going over to DU to see if they question the timing of his capture to deflect from America's stinginess and the President's tardy response to the American induced tsunami that killed people that don't look like me. Who wants to bet against me?

[vetvetdoug]

Nothing on Fox at this time. Looks like a red herring.

[mhking]

Is this a reliable source, or is it more like DEBKA?

[mewzilla]

Holy moly. Hope it's true....

[GipperGirl]

Oh I soooooooooooo Hope
these are the THUGS I've been seeing on TV for almost 2 years. The ones responsible for the beheading of Nick Berg? Surely, the media wont be able to play this down?
Its great News~!

IDAO exclusive.

Debka’s been scooped.

[68 grunt]

Please let this be true ...
