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.

Okay, this is getting weird now. Go to your homepage in the upper, right corner where it says "view home page, enter name:" and type the name "angelo." Then come back and tell me who you get.

I mus have thought of Amaretto, which is another herb to control diabetes, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm no doctor.

Could it be an ointment?

I saved the recipe. Sounds very good especially if you imbid it with some Amarula toward the end. :)

No,Amarula does NOT mean bitter. Do you know any Africaans?

Amarula is made from the MARULA FRUIT.

I hear that. I'm ready to leave hi tech and love to cook, but I think about the hectic nature of a commercial kitchen and back away.

We aim to please. Heck, last week, we thought there was another earthquake and we planned South Seas vacations at the same time.

No kidding, this place is crawling with informants! As soon as I clicked on this thread, I started looking for all the "in the know" people to be my buzzkill for the evening. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!
