Reports in Kuwait on Friday said a man assumed to be Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Zarqawi has been captured near the Syrian border.
The report claimed that the man was captured during a joint operation by U.S. occupation forces and Iraqi police, Al Siyasah newspaper, quoting Iraqi sources, said Friday.
It also said that the suspect was caught in a white shirt and jeans, and he gave no resistance when he realized his hideout was besieged, according to Iraqi police.
The U.S. and Iraqi investigators are trying to identify the captive and has sent his DNA sample for testing, the unconfirmed report indicated.
Zarqawi is the most wanted suspect in Iraq and has a U.S. bounty of $25 million on his head.

We heard this earlier this week and it turned out to be false.
Another possibility is that it's true and we just don't need to know about it yet.

Fabulous news if it pans out. But the source is Al Jazeera. They cannot be trusted even if they report the sun rose in the east this morning.

Even if Al Jazeera gets the scoop, I'll be elated if the story is true.

But the source is Al Jazeera.But they never headline good news for the good guys.

I doubt it is true, but if it is they will have to hose what's left of Kerry and his campaign down the gutter.
