Allies Move in on Top Terrorist [Zarqawi]
The Observer ^ | Sunday February 13, 2005 | Peter Beaumont

Posted on 02/12/2005 5:27:08 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

Iraq's most wanted terrorist, the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is hiding out in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk after fleeing from Mosul, according to police sources.

The claim comes barely days after the Iraq's interim government said that it was close to catching the jihadist, whose group has been behind the beheadings of foreign hostages, including Briton Kenneth Bigley, and suicide bombings.

'He came to Kirkuk from Mosul,' a source in the Kirkuk police department told Reuters yesterday, speaking anonymously. 'There's a possibility that he might be captured at any moment.'

Arghh! I really, really hate these sort of articles. When we catch the slug, I'll be interested. Until then, it's just a bunch of liberal media noise designed to make the Allies look like bumbling ("Missed him by that much) fools, IMHO.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Go read my FR profile page.

I have no faith in anyone in the "normal" media reporting this right. I trust http://www.defenselink.mil/, http://www.army.mil/, http://www.usmc.mil/, http://www.af.mil/news/, http://www.news.navy.mil/, http://www.defendamerica.mil/, and a few others that I use far more than the "normal" media on this.
