AL ZARQAWI HAS FLED IRAQ (MORE FROM YOUR LOCAL JIHAD WEBSITE)
Breaking News.ie ^ | 5/25/05

Posted on 05/25/2005 7:51:48 AM PDT by areafiftyone

An Islamic website statement claimed today that Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida in Iraq chief, has fled to an unidentified “neighbouring country” with two Arab doctors treating him for gunshot wounds to his lung.

There was no way to verify the authenticity of the claim. The site used to carry al-Qaida postings, but has fallen out of use recently. Soon, the posting appeared on another militant site, where it quickly came under attack from other posters as untrue and unauthorised by al-Qaida.

The statement from somebody identified only as al-Khalidi – the same name as a regular poster for the site in the past – said the information was based on accounts of “brothers close to the holy warriors in Iraq and who are in contact with them.” He did not elaborate.

Mideast security officials told The Associated Press in the Jordanian capital Amman they could not verify the authenticity of the posting or veracity of its contents.

On Tuesday, a web statement in the name of al-Zarqawi’s group, al-Qaida in Iraq, said the terrorist mastermind has been wounded. But US officials cautioned they did not know if the posting was authentic, and privately said the information also may have been designed to purposefully mislead.

I bet he scutters off to Syria everytime he sees a contrail.

LOl I have two mosques not far from my house in Queens,NY - gotta check those places. So this guy has a bullet in his lung and he's walking around with two doctors in tow. Is his his last name Rasputin?

Something is amiss here, there simply is NO COUNTRY which would take him in, IMHO. What a hot potato.

Harboring Zarqawi would be an act of war, maybe as another poster said, we are getting close, or maybe he is in fact dead.

Maybe this is the reason that the Syrian's announced their plans the other day that they were breaking ties with anti-terroist efforts.

Breaking News! Over 1,000 US troops have begun an operation in Western Iraq.

It all makes sense now

He's probably in Syria right now. But how long he's in that country remains to be seen. I doubt he would flee to Iran, given that the Shi'a Muslims would kill him in no time flat (Zarqawi is a Sunni Muslim and Shi'a and Sunni Muslims don't like each other).

Sounds familiar. Bin Laden disappeared when it got too hot in the kitchen and rumors were spread that the holy warrior was wounded. Now al-Zarqawi is pulling the same scam. This must be the standard cover story when Allah's top jihadists run away.

Syria would take him. I would bet he's probably right in Syria.

To me that sounds like we got him or he's dead. As soon as it is reported these sub-humans will deny it and say he is being treated. This of course is my opinion. But who am I? Just a St. John's University graduate

AL ZARQAWI HAS FLED IRAQ

I wish. I don't believe anything those people say.

I just wish we could hurry up and find him dead.
