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.
My beebers are always stuned!
Just like with the "Saddam has had a stroke and could die" story, which of course turned out to be B.S., I think I'll wait for a more reliable source than Al-Jazeera before I believe this.
Ahhh, not so, grasshopper!
This was actually Fred Zarqawi, a used car salesman from "Tigris Honda" out for a test spin.
He took a wrong left turn at the river and. . . bodda bing...captured!!
Not surprising, though -- that's where most of the non-Iraqi bad guys get into the country.

Denied when first reported earlier this week...
Kerry is going to demand a moratorium on terrorist captures for the duration of the campaign.
Well, I certainly didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition on this!
Gee, I was just getting ready to step into the shower . . .
NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Maybe he was captured awhile back and we gave the captors a bonus on top of the bounty to hang onto him until 12 hours after the end of the Dem convention?
"Well, I certainly didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition on this!"
Don't worry about it, a spanish inquisition these days mostly involves finding out what your demands are and total compliance.
You also suffer from low-expectations I see...
"It's the Capture Abu Musab Zarqawi Show, coming to you this week from near the Syrian border in Iraq."
Ah, thanks. I hear Molosovic is about ready to return to the reserve but Saddam may be too ill to return and will have to be sheltered in a holding pen.
And his name wasn't "Zarqawi", it was "Hekawi" ...
I doubt he even questioned it...
