Thumbs up Reports of Zarqawi's demise
I am starting to see a flutter of reports which ALMOST confirm that the
Wicked Witch of the Middle East is truly and completely dead!



IRAQ: AL ZARQAWI'S FAMILY SAID TO BE PREPARING EPITAPH

Amman, 27 May (AKI) - The family of injured Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - al-Qaeda's pointman in Iraq - is already preparing his obituary, the Saudi daily al-Watan said on Friday, quoting sources close to the family. Al-Zarqawi's close relatives, all of whom live in the Jordanian city of Zarqa, are reported to be in state of high tension over the conflicting reports circulating over his state of health, and are only waiting for officials to confirm his death before releasing the death notice.Jordanian security forces have surrounded the Ramzi quarter of Zarqa where al-Zarqawi's family lives, al-Watan said. Relatives have confirmed that al-Zarqawi's wife and four children fled to Iraq in secret six months ago.

On Thursday, Iraq's defence minister confirmed that al-Zarqawi had been injured, but would reveal no further details. This followed a message on Tuesday, which al-Qaeda posted to a website often used by the terror network, calling on Muslims to pray for al-Zarqawi, and saying he had fled to a neightbouring country after his injuries to his right lung.

Al-Zarqawi's group, Tawhid and Jihad, has been behind many of the deadliest bombing and hostage slayings - including decapitations - since the fall of Saddam Hussein two years ago. The US is offering a 25-milion dollar reward for his capture.

Still no word from any of the major news outlets.

Just grabbed this from Yahoo news--only his hair dresser really knows:

Al Qaeda says Zarqawi in 'good health'-Web sites

1 hour, 58 minutes ago

DUBAI (Reuters) -
Iraq's al Qaeda said on Friday its leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was in good health and was back leading operations in Iraq after being wounded, according to a statement posted on the Internet.
ADVERTISEMENT

"Our Sheikh is in good health and is running the jihad (holy war) himself and has been overseeing the details of operations up to the time this statement was prepared," a group spokesman said in a posting issued on Islamist Web sites.

Conflicting statements about the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq had appeared on the Internet recently after the militant group announced on Tuesday that Zarqawi had been wounded.

Al Qaeda said in its latest statement that there were no problems within the network, one of the leaders of an insurgency against U.S. forces and the Iraqi government.

"Our Sheikh has over the past two years established a cohesive leadership and has a deputy and advisers," it said. "Al Qaeda Organization in Iraq is well and cohesive."

On Thursday, an Internet statement in the name of al Qaeda Organization for Holy War in Iraq said the group had named a deputy to fill in for Zarqawi, but a later statement attributed to the group spokesman swiftly denied it.

Iraq's interior minister said on Thursday he had confirmation that Zarqawi had been wounded, but the country's prime minister later said there was no firm news.

Washington has offered a $25 million bounty for Zarqawi, its top foe in Iraq.

Do you think Al-Jazeera's reporting on that creature might be somewhat accurate?

Al-Zarqawi said to be back in charge

Friday 27 May 2005, 23:30 Makka Time, 20:30 GMT

A website has reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is in good health and back leading operations in Iraq after being wounded.

Conflicting statements about the alleged leader of al-Qaida in Iraq have appeared on the internet recently after the group announced on Tuesday that al-Zarqawi had been wounded.

But a statement on Friday said: "Our sheikh is in good health and is running the jihad (holy war) himself and has been overseeing the details of operations up to the time this statement was prepared," a group spokesman said in a posting issued on websites.

The authenticity or origin of the websites has not been independently verified.

According to the latest statement, the network of fighters was not experiencing problems.

"Our sheikh has over the past two years established a cohesive leadership and has a deputy and advisers," it said. "Al-Qaida organisation in Iraq is well and cohesive."

Deputy named

On Thursday, an internet statement in the name of al-Qaida Organisation for Holy War in Iraq said the group had named a deputy to fill in for al-Zarqawi, but a later statement attributed to the group spokesman swiftly denied it.

Iraq's Interior Minister said on Thursday he had confirmation al-Zarqawi had been wounded, but the country's prime minister later said there was no firm news.

Washington has offered a $25 million bounty for al-Zarqawi.

Al-Qaida said on Tuesday al-Zarqawi had been wounded "in the path of God" but did not say how, when or where. It urged Muslims to pray for his recovery and vowed to step up its attacks against US forces and the Iraqi government. (Yeah...he's on the path to God....so when he meets his demise...God can send him where he truly belongs...way down below!)

Personally I hope that or he's got a dose of bubonic plague, herpes, ghonorrea and that African disease that eats your guts in one fail swoop, thus rendering A) incapable of spreading his gene or B) even better, dead. It's not that I'm nasty, but I just don't like the guy!

He's like an open wound that festers and keeps on pouring forth bacteria to contaminate others...just have to find the right "antibiotic" to kill the disease!

Zarqawi in Iran?

The London Times reports that the wounded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have been moved to Iran: Wounded terror chief flees Iraq for emergency surgery.

Quote:
IRAQ’S most wanted terrorist has fled the country for emergency surgery after an American airstrike left him with shrapnel lodged in his chest, according to a senior insurgent commander in close contact with his group.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who has a $25m bounty on his head after being blamed for suicide bombings, assassinations and the beheadings of western hostages — including Ken Bigley, the Liverpool engineer — is now believed to be in Iran.

He has suffered from bouts of high fever since being wounded by a missile that struck his convoy three weeks ago as he fled an American offensive near the town of al-Qaim in northwestern Iraq, the commander said.

His condition late last week was described as stable, but supporters were said to be preparing to move him to another “non-Arab” country for an operation to remove the shrapnel. “Shrapnel went in between the right shoulder and his chest, ripped it open and is still stuck in there,” said the commander.

Officials in Washington believe that US forces may have lost their chance of capturing or killing him for now. “If he’s got to Iran, there’s not much we can do,” said one.
I was hoping, and still hoping, that this devil would be exterminated like the pesty little insect which he is.
