FALLUJAH - Arabic leaflets were air-dropped overnight Friday in the flashpoint city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad, appealing for intelligence about the alleged Al Qaeda chief in Iraq, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi.
“Zarqawi cut the throats of innocents and killed hundreds of Iraqis for nothing other than pleasure,” said one copy of a leaflet, complete with four mug shots of the Jordanian-born militant in different guises.
“If you have information about Zarqawi or his activities, do not hesitate to get in touch immediately and you can claim a financial reward,” it said, giving a telephone number.
A second leaflet carried three photographs of Zarqawi, blaming him “for the murder of innocent women and children” and also promising rewards for information given about him.
The US military has repeatedly bombed targets in Fallujah that they have said were suspected hideouts of Zarqawi and his loyalists.
Zarqawi, who has a 25-million-dollar price on his head, has been accused by Washington of masterminding some of the deadliest bombings in Iraq.
His Tawhid wal Jihad (Unity and Holy War) group has also claimed to have kidnapped and killed foreign hostages, in videotapes broadcast on Arab television stations.
I'd guess that is likey the case. I suppose there is always the possibility that they are trying to keep his capture secret so they can follow all the newly captured leads. But I really doubt it...
Perfect.LOL
Generally those who promote their Web sites here in that manor get zapped. Not saying you will. Just a warning that you might.
"This would seem to give lie to the story that Zarqawi had alrady been captured."
Yep, that's too bad.
I post relevant, humorous pictures, just as a great many people here do. I also provide the public service of making them available and redily accessable for others to circulate, since I people tend to want to. It's a lot easier than having to answer "where can I get more of your work?" all the time.
I love counterpunch's work - fun photos we can use and abuse [Kerry]. ;-)
I'm not complaining.
I've just seen what's happened in the past.
Id like to see someone photoshop that so Kerry is directly behind one of those muslims bending over. (Heh-heh!)
Sounds like disinformation to me to draw out communications between his supporters within Falluja. "Is he captured? Isn't he?"
Maybe the should drop ANOTHER leaflet with pictures of bombs being dropped on Fallujah. Sort of a wake-up leaflet.
