He's dead again, Jim.

[tet68]

May his suffering have been long, as well as his end.
May the peace of the grave be denied him in hell.

[Noachian]

When American doctors examine the body I'll believe he's dead.

[Lucky2]

I'll believe it when I see his head on a stick, right next to Osama's!

[Normal4me]

I wish we had some place to send a get dead soon card. :-(

[CzarNicky]

If true, and I hope it is, I say good riddance.

[nuconvert]

I think it's for real this time

[bray]

What happens when your killed by an infidel?? Are you a virgin???

Another reports from the Iraqi interior ministry are saying that the Iraqi forces supported by US troops started an operation late last night (Friday) in the town of Abou Shallal north of Baghdad where the intelligence reports are saying that Zarqawi took a refuge there in the last 48 hours. The report said Zarqawi entered a house in Abou Shalal owned by Al Sheikh Hatem Amir.

I guess we will wait and see how whether these reports are correct or not.

... depends on what the meaning of 'dead' is ... (trained by the Klintoons perhaps?)

[DJ Taylor]

"He had what is called septicemia which is according to doctors an infection of the blood resulted from infected wound."

I wonder if this qualifies him for the 72 virgins or if he will have to settle for the usual arab fare of goats and sheep? Are there any Islamic scholars out there who can clear this up for us?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Nuke his funeral.

[Beckwith]

That calls for a beer and a pulled pork sandwich.

[SeaBiscuit]

It's so tempting to believe the devil is dead, but there have been too too many of these reports.. still it seems the recent reports build in a way to make this a little more creditable. May a ravaged syphilitic camel urinate on his stinking corpse.

[slowhand520]

Well eventually we would have captured him anyway. We caught 2,345 of his closest aides. I think he was only down to 2,000 of them

[bill1952]

Well, that certainly clears things up.

FWIW, sepsis is a particularly horrid way to die, and it would be in perfect conformance with non sterile operating conditions and dated antibiotics.

[Allegra]

I hope it's true. I've heard nothing official here. I asked a couple of the Iraqis and that rumor doesn't seem to have made it to downtown Baghdad.

Yet.

Believe it when you see the body and physical ID.

[ArmedNReady]

Since when have you been able to believe ANYTHING told to you by an Arab?

Sounds like an elaborate ploy to me.
