Zarqawi may have been killed in Mosul (White House: "highly unlikely")

[Mount Athos]

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."

Count the feet, divide by two, and round up.

You told me not to judge, but I will.

And that putz blowing up the coded eggplant was funny as hell.

I hope there is enough left of al Zarqawi for them to put a small piece into a plastic bag and send it to "white flag" Murtha.

If this is true, the King of Jordan had some friends who handled this garbage and put it on the curbside for disposal.

[M. Espinola]

Let's hope this is not simply wishful thinking and this psychopathic, demon infested, Islamic serial killer is really where he belongs, roasting in the hottest portion of Hell.

LOL!

For the fun of it I looked up Osama Bin Laden on Google and got 11,400,000 hits and I looked up Zarqawi and got 7,490,000 hits.

And, I looked up Eminem and I got 11,500,000 hits.

Its good to see what society considers important.

They'll just think of something else Bush hasn't done yet.

Well, you know he hasn't rebuilt New Orleans yet.

another interesting statistic is the Google hit number for Zawahri.

He got a little more then 1/10th the hits that Zarqawi got. Zawahiri's hit number was at 794,000.

That tells me about what the level is of hard core interest in the War on Terror. Soft interest focuses on the two big names.

At the same time it also implies that the only two captures/kills that will give the president a big boost are Zarqawi and Bin Laden.

And he's not only merely dead,
He's really most sincerely dead!

Very good points, thank you.

How can Helen Thomas be missing from that list?

Looks like your guys did it!

Jordanian intel is my guess as well. One simply should not threaten to kill the King.
