DUBAI, January 4 (Itar-Tass) - 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 10 million dollars, was also reported by Iraqi Kurdistan radio, which at one time had been the first to announce the arrest of Saddam Hussein.
There have been no official reports about the arrest of the terrorist. Al-Zarqawi, 38, a Jordanian, whose real name is Ahmad al-Khalayleh, aims to turn Iraq into a "new Afghanistan". According to Arab press data, Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad group has divided Iraq into several emirates. The group's independent subdivisions at a strength of 50 to 500 militants operate in the cities of Al-Falluja, Al-Qaim, Diala, and Samarra.
The personnel of the group is on the whole 1,500-strong and includes Iraqis and citizens of Arab and Islamic countries. There are demolition experts and missilemen among them.
The group has depots of weapons and explosives in various parts of the country. It intends to frustrate the upcoming parliamentary elections that are scheduled for the end of this month. Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad threatens to do away with Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and members of the interim government.
IIRC there was something like that here, but I don't know if they took it out or not. It worked off of the NEWPOSTSTOYOU function.
I only turn up the volume if I want to listen to something.
I'm Up right now...cannot Sleep, have been reading thru FR Threads for a while.

"Zarqawi was dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans. Reports claim that he didn't oppose the arrest.
A blood sample has been sent to Baghdad for DNA tests."

That was a fake post dated from back in July. Check the link.
Oh, and we can only hope that about 8 pints of blood were necessary for the "sample."
Sorry, not for me. This would seriously cause problems in the marriage. He thought he would never get through the 2000 election..hahaha If I hear anything, when I hear it I simply go to FR automatically.
You are fast becoming the FR "World Correspondent." You were hot with the news on the earthquake/tsunami thread that first night.
The original looks like Portuguese, not Spanish.
Yep still there- look in the top right corner of the BROWSE page and click on the little speaker thingy.
ARRGGGHH - sorry. Scratch my last two posts (186/189). No wonder I couldn't find this in a new Google search.
That article claiming he was caught while wearing a white tshirt is from JULY 2004...
Description: a Moroccan daily newspaper in French Language on Internet. It contains the following heading: National, International, Economy, Regional, Culture, Company, Sports, Others.
Right. Mea Culpa in post 194.
Give him a taste of whatever is to the legal side of the new definition of torture, and then LET HIM LIVE and deny him the 72 virgins. Make him rather sit with 72 stinky Al Qaida for a few years.
