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.

Most likely he heard JFnK's speech last night and realized how tough Kerry would be on terrorism if elected and decided to just give himself up. (/sarcasm)

Heard a similar report yesterday that was denied by the US.
We did catch a major terrorist yesterday though. They could have gotten info from him on Zarqawi's whereabouts from him.
I watch the stock market. It is down about 20 now. If it starts rallying big-time then we got something.
I would not trust al Jazerra though.

"Isn't this the fourth time this week he has been caught? Why do the keep letting him back out?"New UN hunting rules require "catch-and-release" so as to keep the terrorist pool fully stocked for the future.
