BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Monday it was checking unconfirmed reports that al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been captured in Iraq (news - web sites).
The Jordanian-born Zarqawi, who Washington says is its number one enemy in Iraq, is accused of masterminding a string of suicide bombings and of the execution of an American and a South Korean hostage.
The reports suggested that Zarqawi had been captured near the town of Hilla, south of Baghdad and in the Polish military area of responsibility.
"We are working on that issue," a U.S. military official said.
A Polish spokesman added: "I cannot confirm that information... When the operation is ongoing at the moment I cannot make any comment."
Washington is offering $10 million for information leading to the death or capture of Zarqawi.
Well at least you can get some sleep during that.
LOL!
