Report: al-Qaida rejects Algerian recruits
LONDON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Al-Qaida has reportedly rejected hundreds of Arab recruits to fight the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.
Islamic sources said al-Qaida network chief Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi has rejected a large contingent of Arab nationals for recruitment in the Sunni insurgency in Iraq, the Middle East News Line reported.
"The feeling was that these Arabs were sent by the United States or Britain to infiltrate Al Zarqawi's organization," an Islamic source said.
The sources said many of the Arabs rejected by Al Zarqawi were Algerian nationals who volunteered for service in Europe. They said U.S. intelligence had penetrated Algerian factions and sent agents to join al-Qaida in Iraq.
Algerians have played a major role in Al Zarqawi's network in Iraq, but al-Qaida has determined that some of the Algerians were U.S. plants who helped unravel cells in northern and western Iraq, the report said.
Thanks that is interesting.

"..WALLACE: Now, you say if. According to reports, the information minister of Pakistan says they have made a DNA match.
HADLEY: We have seen those reports out of Pakistan. Obviously, we're looking into them. At this point, we are not in a position publicly to confirm that he is dead. But we're obviously -- if he is, that's a good thing for the War on Terror..."
It sure did not take them a log time in Pakistan to make a DNA match.
I have checked the news every day and there has been no reference to Zarqawi dna tests. There has been more than enough time to conduct the tests. They could say it's yes, no, or even inconclusive results. I wonder why they don't?
