Baghdad, 2 June (AKI) - The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq - died on Friday and his body is in Fallujah's cemetary, an Iraqi Sunni sheikh, Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir, has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina. He claims that gunfights which broke out in Fallujah in the last few days involved militants trying to protect the insurgency leader's tomb from a group of American soldiers patrolling the area.
During a telephone conversation from the city of Fallujah with the Saudi newspaper, Nasir said al-Zarqawi was taken there after being injured in the city of Ramadi around three weeks ago, and may have been treated by two doctors who had worked with his aides in Baghdad. He said the two doctors had stopped a serious haemorrhage in al-Zarqawi's intestines, but that after his condition worsened last week, the militant died on Friday.
Nasir adds that in his will the insurgent leader left the order that no funeral should be held for him and the right to announce his death should be left to the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden.
The Al-Medina newspaper reports that it also called the headmaster of a school in Fallujah, who preferred to remain anonymous, but confirmed that many people in the city were aware of the fact that al-Zarqawi had recently been taken to the city.

Zarqawi dead again ping
Arafat deja vu?
If true, we'll just be reminded that it's not over, and there are others to take his place.
Actually, I have fantasized that both he and OBL have many pre-recorded tapes urging their fellow crazies to do that which they are unwilling to do. (My daughter still maintains that OBL is dead.)
does Francisco know about this?
This whole Zarqawi death pendulum reminds of an old commercial...
Wax on, wax off.
Yes, but which Al-Zarqawi? The one we're looking for, or was this Joe Al-Zarqawi, the taxi driver in Brooklyn?
Someone should go to the Fallujah graveyard and dig up the recent graves and run DNA tests.
Well, dig him up and check his DNA ... regardless of how many insurgents need to be killed to do it. Then IF you verify it, let's wrap him up in pig skin and rebury him in a concrete bunker. And video tape it and make sure AlJazira gets a copy.
Peace at last!
And if the DNA isn't his, do it anyway so they know what's coming ....
Yassir Arafat could not be reached for comment!
He's dead, he's alive, he's dead, he's alive.....
Common folks lets just make a decision and go with it.
Here we go again. Sort of like Yashisassisfat......
I am highly suspicious of this and wonder if this is to keep pressure off Zarqawi. According to them, it is ok to lie to infidels to achieve the greater good.
LOL! That was a good one.

And then ship his head to OBL. And when he goes to sign for the package, the UPS guy can shoot him! It's foolproof!
I remember 3 years ago, when a 9/11 widow from New York filed a lawsuit against OBL, a friend of mine said "and when he shows up for court, we can nab him! Brilliant!" I laughed my @$$ off.
AMEN BROTHER!!!! Every dead terrorist should be smeared in Pig Entrails.
