Meanwhile, a British newspaper reported on Sunday that al-Zarqawi was wounded and treated briefly at a hospital in Iraq last week before he disappeared with his men. "He [al-Zarqawi] was bleeding heavily..." Doctor at Ramadi Hospital The doctor who claims to have treated him told an Iraqi reporter in the western city of Ramadi that al-Zarqawi was bleeding heavily when he was brought into the hospital on Wednesday, the Sunday Times reported. "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," the doctor was quoted as saying. The doctor, who refused to specify the nature of the wounds and asked not to be identified, was detained by US forces for questioning on Friday, Ramadi residents were quoted as saying. Agencies
