Definitely hugh and series!
Bttt
I question the timimg of this ;^)
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.
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.
Zarqawi, whose Tawhid and Jihad group has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks in Iraq, was captured during a joint operation by US forces and Iraqi police, Al Siyasah newspaper, quoting informed Iraqi sources, said Friday.
The US 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 US bounty of $25 million on his head. (albawaba.com)
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?
"It's the Capture Abu Musab Zarqawi Show, coming to you this week from near the Syrian border in Iraq."
Kuwait City, July 30 (IANS) :
Reports here Friday said a man assumed to be Al Qaida No.3 Abu Musab Zarqawi has been captured in Iraq, Xinhua reports.
Jordanian militant Zarqawi, whose Tawhid and Jihad groups have claimed responsibility for numerous attacks in Iraq, was captured during a joint operation by coalition forces and Iraqi police, the Politics said Friday.
The newspaper quoted a senior Iraqi police official as saying that the US and Iraqi investigators are trying to identify the captive, who was seized at the border of Iraq and Syria, and has sent his DNA sample for testing.

The captive said his group operates mainly in western Iraq and a few militants are scattered around Baghdad and southern Iraq. He also revealed the hideouts of some members and the way they communicated amongst themselves.
Zarqawi's group has claimed responsibility for a number of bloody attacks and beheadings of foreigners, including US businessman Nicholas Berg, South Korean translator Kim Sun-il and Bulgarian truck driver Georgi Lazov.
The captive, dressed in a white shirt and jeans, offered no resistance when he realised his hideout was besieged, according to Iraqi police.
A week ago, Kuwaiti media reported that coalition forces and Iraqi police had rounded up Zarqawi and a handful of his followers in a certain Iraqi area bordering Syria.

Didn't I just read Colin Powell is either in Baghdad? Or going to be, shortly.
Hummmmm.........very interesting.
It's the white shirt and jeans.....gives him away as a true jihad leader!!!
Maybe they have had him for a week or so now and just needed that long to get the panties off his head. I would hope that we would not announce any major captures like this until we got all the intelligence we needed from the scumbag. Interesting thought though, since Iraq is soverign and has their own police force, can they put panties on these guys heads?
When I read yesterday of Zarqawi's capture I was wondering why they didn't hold the news one day to not conflict with Kerry's speech. Then it was debunked by the military.
As slimey as that sounds I could hear the cries of "timing" and "conspiracy". I know lives are on the line but holding the news a day or two made sense to me. They can always say they withheld the news until DNA results came back.
It bad day for jf'nk/pretty-boy
First the President speech in Missouri, Iraqi's arrest 270 ^*(&^^* terrorists and now Zarqawi (if true). All we now is "Stockpile" of WMD's.
Isn't this about the tenth time we've captured this guy? Hey, I hope it's true, but I'll wait before celebrating...maybe he knows where Osama's remains are as well.
anticipaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation...
