Abu Musab al-Zarqawi reportedly arrested in Iraq
ITAR-TASS ^ | 01/04/05

Posted on 01/03/2005 9:57:11 PM PST by TexKat

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.

Where are you getting this tripe from,or are you making it up as you go along? LOL

I know for an absolute fact,that you could buy a bottle of Amarula six years ago,in CHICAGO.

And no,500 years ago,nobody was making Amarula in South Africa! The name of the liquor is AMARULA,which is made from the FRUIT ...MARULA!

Five hundred years ago,the Hottentots and the Bushmen were the ONLY people wandering around where these trees grow and they most assuredly were NOT making liquor from these fruits.IT'S A FAIRLY NEW PRODUCT and blacks never used it.

If you are trying to read the last post and it does that, it hasn't "caught up" yet.

Maybe ya'll just need to talk slower. :-)

Potluck Chicken Casserole

This tasty chicken and dressing casserole is a nice size for a big family or potluck dinner. Cook chicken the night before to make preparation a breeze.

8 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup minced onion
1 can (10 3/4 ounce) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 3/4 ounce) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/3 cups milk
1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup cornbread stuffing mix
1/2 cup melted butter




Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place chicken breasts in a lightly buttered baking dish. Add the 1/2 cup water; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced onion. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove chicken from the baking dish, reserving 1 cup of the juices. Clean pan if using same pan for casserole.
When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into bite-sized pieces and place in lightly buttered 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Combine soups and the milk in a medium saucepan. Cook until heated through; pour over chicken.

Combine herb-seasoned and cornmeal stuffing crumbs and sprinkle over the soup mixture. Combine melted butter and reserved chicken broth; pour evenly over stuffing crumbs.

Bake chicken casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Chicken casserole serves 8.

For advance preparation, cook and cut up chicken the night before, then cover and refrigerate until preparation time. Refrigerate chicken cooking juices in a separate container. Cooking time will be slightly longer.

IT'S NOT AN HERB!

Like all fruit,it contains sugar,so I don't think a diabetic should drink it.

And if anyone boiled a Marula,he/she's wind up with something not unlike a stewed prune/apple,or peach,but mushier.

Not only aren't you a doctor,you have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about! LOL

If my wife saw that web site, she would demand that I become a box of chocolate before coming to bed. Glad she wasn't looking over my shoulder.

Now seems like a good time to plug my blog.

Updated Daily and will be covering news from the region here from our point of view. No spins.

And the US military humanitarian operations in Aceh. Which might be facing trouble soon as Islamic militants move in.

You have the link to that thread? I'd like to read it again. Was kinda in a blur that day - all was happening so fast. Phone was ringing off the hook - people crying. It was crazy to say the least.
