Iraq: Fallujah sheikh says Al-Zarqawi died on Friday [Dead again]
AKI ^ | 2005 Jun 2

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.

Absolutely, why haven't our vaunted "investigative reporters" at Newsweek, the NYT, or the WP, investigated the whereabouts of Zarqawi or OBL? Or their plans, their communications, or the gov that support them?

Instead the investigate Bush, Rummy, and Cheney, and not the men that are deliberately murdering innocents daily.

First a sucking chest wound; now gutshot. The 'story' just gets better & better. If he's in the ground, let's dig him up (of course the could be planting this story to get US troops to desecrate a muslim gravesite).

Guess "minor wounds" is like getting a "cold" when you are head of the USSR.

Don't believe it for a second until there is a "procession" ala the Palestinian Martyrs way.

The terrorist rot that infests the sunni triangle, would not be able to control their lust for attention and NOT have one.

WHEN this trash is dead, they WILL do that. Unless that turd dies while in our custody.

Hmmmn.

The Iranian news media said he was in a Jordanian hospital under guard by the King Of Jordan, getting treated for "minor wounds."

Now, at least they are admitting he was wounded.....

It may be that they are preparing his fanatics to accept hsi death, but son't want to break the news at once.

Like the old joke whose punch line ends with: "Oh, how's grandma doing? Well, she was up on the roof..."
