AMMAN, Jordan - An Islamic Web site statement claimed Wednesday that Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's point man in Iraq, has fled to a "neighboring country" with two Arab doctors treating him for gunshot wounds to his lung.

The claim's authenticity could not be confirmed. The site used to carry messages from al-Qaida, but has fallen out of use recently. Soon, the statement appeared on another militant site, where other posters quickly denounced it as untrue and unauthorized by the terror group.

The statement came a day after a message in the name of al-Zarqawi's group, al-Qaida in Iraq, appeared on another Web site, saying the terrorist mastermind has been wounded.

Zarqawi is a coward. Always has been. He only kills defenseless hostages who are no threat to him, but when facing the field of battle, he turns yellow. I hope he dies from lead poisoning and may God have mercy on his soul.

"two Arab doctors treating him for gunshot wounds to his lung"

He probably inhaled anthrax while preparing an attack in Iraq.

Nope, the Dems are holding it up. But we will have a confirmation because Ted Kennedy has been praising him on the floor and pledging his support for him and his cause.

Zarquawi has now set up operations in Detroit. He is operating out of a pretzel and knish stand there. (sarcasm).

So he is walking around with gunshot wounds to his lungs. He must have the last name Rasputin. I think he's just about dead if you ask me.

So much for morale! I guess the NYSlime will have to step up and boost the morale of the insurgency by printing lies and more lies given that the POS (I would love to slap that fu^#&er with a Koooorrrrraaaannnn) Zarqawi has gunned oput of Bahgdad.

Sorry! Apparently my pre-search was too cursory.

All: This piece has not been confirmed. Nothing on TV yet, but either way, wouldn't it be nice? I guess we'll have to stand by to stand by.

The only problem is we will never see the body unless the U.S. can get a hold of him. The terrorists will never let their fellow slime know that he is dead.

That's okay. I've done that so many times even after I've searched and could have sworn it was never posted and of course Freepers are always on the ball.

We will never really know unless we get the body. We need to find that slime and hang his body from the nearest tree for all to see.

So now he has two bum legs or no legs at all? Just a flesh wound?

Yep, the one with the screwy guidance system that targets Iran and N. Korea.
