At least one Arab television media outlet reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred after coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are looking into whether al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, but a White House spokesman said that was "highly unlikely."

I do hope we can bring most of our soldiers home in a big World War II style celebration. That is what they deserve for all of their hard work when it is finished. It is not anti-patriotic to want them home, but it is traitorous to want them to fail.

He should bring it to his next press conference and throw it at John Roberts.

sorry, are you saying that France and Germany specifically shunned Jordan....or shunned Jordan as part of the "coalition of the willing"?

Brett just said he hopes he's dead. He'd never get away with that over at CNN.

I don't know, everyone-

Fox News is now claiming unconfirmed reports also. This is the strongest rumor we have had in a long time.

Bret has the inside story from the Pentagon. If he is saying it, then there is a good chance it's true.

They must have some reason to be this suspicious. They must have gotten some intel about where he was today.

US and Iraqi forces thought before they confronted the house that Zarqawi might have been in there. Might may mean they thought there was a 1% chance, but that is still something. The story isn't nothing.

Katie Couric will hope that he escaped to Syria. Boy I hope this guy is dead. Fox said they are "collecting" evidence. If a bunch of terorists blew themselves up, I'll just bet there is some "collecting" to be done. Fox also said there was a fierce firefight and 11 of ours were wounded.

Surely something can be conveyed to place a negative connotation on this and this being the case, Chris WILL air it.

Well, for starters we viciously kept ZarCowi from having his day in court, or a chance to be represented by Ramsey Clark.....
