Thanks for posting this Velveeta, I heard this on the news on my way to work this morning. Interesting that they don't say how he was injured or how bad off he is.
I wonder too if it's a trick, announcing that he's hurt, then dies a little while later, just to make us stop looking for him? (just my paranoid brain there I think, LOL)

It has been confirmed from direct sources that Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Amir of Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Two Rivers has received the honor of being wounded in battle that has fueled the group to declare they will increase attacks against the occupiers.
Here are the complete statment, uncut and uncensored as translated by JUS.

Zarqawi Is Wounded, Al-Qaida Organization Issues A Statement Asking Muslim Brothers To Pray For His Speedy Recovery
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
{If a wound has touched you, be sure a similar wound has touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) We give to men and men bu turns; that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks Martyr-witnesses (to truth. And Allah loves not those that do wrong.} 2:140
O Allah! Make our shots hit their intended targets and fasten our feet firmly to the ground.
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds. Final victory is on the side of the believers, and no aggression except on those who transgress all bounds. Peace and prayers be on the Imam of Mujahideen, our prophet, Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
Ummah of Islam, brothers of Tawheed, pray for our Sheikh so that Allah may cure him from a wound received while fighting in the cause of Allah. May Allah cure you our beloved Mujahid, may Allah help in your steadfastness; you and those who are with you.
The messenger of Allah was wounded and one of his teeth was broken in the battle of Ahud. You have indeed in the messenger of Allah an excellent example for he who hopes in Allah and the Final Day, And who remember Allah much.
Those near and far ought to know that wounding our Sheikh will only cause tightening our grip on the enemies of Allah and will cause a significant increase of attacks against them. Our Sheikh has taught us that every valuable commodity becomes less valuable when the Aqeeda and Tawheed are at stake.
Our sheikh has raised a generation that follows the Deen of Abraham, he has taught us to reject the Taghut (evil) and put our faith and trust in Allah.
We just want to say: If you are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships: but your hope is from Allah, what they have not. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
O Allah! Relieve the pain and replace it with cure, for no cure except your cure.
Allahu Akbar...Allahu Akbar...Allahu Akbar
Glory is to Allah, His Messenger, and to the Mujahideen

You're welcome, Neosgirl.
Seems ole Zarqi is wounded or almost captured/possbily dead about once per week.
Still bears watching.
One of these days though...
Please let us know if you see any interesting reactions from the jihadis on the forums. :-)
Ditto.
