Bin Laden henchman ‘seriously wounded’ (New Info)
Times Online ^ | May 15, 2005 | Hala Jaber and Ali Rifat, Baghdad

IRAQ’S most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been seriously wounded, according to a doctor who claims to have treated him last week.

The doctor told an Iraqi reporter in the western city of Ramadi that Zarqawi was bleeding heavily when he was brought into hospital on Wednesday. After treating his wounds the doctor tried to persuade him to remain, but the Jordanian-born terrorist’s minders drove him away.

The claim was supported yesterday by a senior commander in the Iraqi resistance who had been to Ramadi to investigate the report.

According to the doctor, Zarqawi was escorted into Ramadi general hospital by smartly dressed men. “He was bleeding heavily and his escorts were well dressed with a look about them that was different from the casualties and family members we had been receiving from the al-Qaim offensive,” he was quoted as saying.

“I treated his injury and asked that he remain in hospital for further observations and told him that we would have to register him and take down his name and details. But he became very nervous and agitated. He refused and told me he would not be staying.

“The three men with him asked me politely that he be allowed to leave hospital immediately and that I supply them with a prescription and a list of medication that he may need.”

I don't understand what you mean. Why would it be odd for them to ask for a prescription?

He might need antibiotics and pain meds. So it makes sense to me. I don't want him to have any medicine, but they would want him to have some.

"Interesting that they go about with wads of infidel money."

Even more disgusting than interesting is that $600,000 of it is code pinko American-commie money.

The article did not say. My personal belief is he was shot in the ass.

Not a difficult deduction. That covers all the available terrain. Here's hoping his ass is all ours, real soon.

"Ramadi hospital !? What is it ?"

"A big building with doctors and sick people in it....
But that's not important...."

Surely you jest, Kareem Abdul Jabbar . . .

They then produced a wad of US dollars to secure his silence. The doctor said that he had refused to take the cash.

If this is true, they'll probably decapitate his family next week.

Also, think Arafat and large infusions of cash for this group. Enemies of Western Civilization are pouring the campaign funds at Zarqawi and his team. Journalists and very wealthy people are doing what they can to keep him rolling.

It wouldn't surprise experts if Z is operating as a journalist some days and hiding with the wealthiest locals on others; probably dressed as an old women. Only those with cash are moving unhindered with donations pouring in from around the world.

I'm very skeptical of this. I'll believe it when we have him. Dead or alive.
