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. :-)
Actually, I am seeing some reaction and it looks to me (although the translations are tough to read and understand) that they are denying this claim.
I've posted a couple of forum posts on this at the blog if you want to read them yourself and let me know what you think. (I could be all wet here!)
peace

"MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Nicaragua's Interior Department said it had imposed an "immigration alert" at all border posts. But it gave no details about why the alert had been raised.
"We must guarantee that our country is not the scene for the presence of elements linked to international terrorism or organized crime," the department said.
Spokesmen for the U.S. Embassy in Nicaragua said they did not immediately have information on the case.
In Panama, spokesmen for the security and immigration agencies said they had no information.
There have been repeated rumors - but only a few glimmers of hard, public evidence - of terrorist suspects passing through Central America.
In the only known confirmed case, U.S. and Panamanian officials said Saudi native and alleged top al-Qaida operative Adnan El Shukrijumah was in Panama for 10 days in April 2001, five months before the Sept. 11 attacks."
Wonder what the alleged wound is....
