Post by: Muckmaw1 on January 04, 2005, 08:42:55 AM
Just came across the tape here at the exchange.

No names and no confirmation yet.


Here's hoping it's Zarqawi

He's a major Al Qaeda figure?

Thought he was just linked, but there was no substantial evidence and many experts believe his group to be seperate from Al Qaeda?

EDIT: Appears no one can agree if he is or isn't.

Here's the article:

Source is crap

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi reportedly arrested in Iraq



04.01.2005, 07.18


 
 
DUBAI, January 4 (Itar-Tass) - Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, whom the US occupation authorities declared to be the "target number one" in Iraq, has been arrested in the city of Baakuba, the Emirate newspaper al-Bayane reported on Tuesday referring to Kurdish sources. Al-Zarqawi, leader of the terrorist group Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad, was recently appointed the director of the Al-Qaeda organisation in Iraq.

The newspaper's correspondent in Baghdad points out that a report on the seizure of the terrorist, on whom the US put a bounty of 10 million dollars, was also reported by Iraqi Kurdistan radio, which at one time had been the first to announce the arrest of Saddam Hussein.

There have been no official reports about the arrest of the terrorist. Al-Zarqawi, 38, a Jordanian, whose real name is Ahmad al-Khalayleh, aims to turn Iraq into a "new Afghanistan". According to Arab press data, Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad group has divided Iraq into several emirates. The group's independent subdivisions at a strength of 50 to 500 militants operate in the cities of Al-Falluja, Al-Qaim, Diala, and Samarra.

The personnel of the group is on the whole 1,500-strong and includes Iraqis and citizens of Arab and Islamic countries. There are demolition experts and missilemen among them.

The group has depots of weapons and explosives in various parts of the country. It intends to frustrate the upcoming parliamentary elections that are scheduled for the end of this month. Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad threatens to do away with Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and members of the interim government.

Good then I would suggest that they let the families of all those he beheaded take a swipe at his throat.

I know the bible say vengeance is mine saith the Lord both I think God will forgive us in this case.

Do a littel research on him.  He's been a supporter of AQ for a while now with major ties to the taliban.  He ended up in Iraq while fleeing afganistan after being wounded.  Sadam paid ro his medical treatment and put him on a govt. payroll.

All of that still doesn't mean he's anything more than an associate. The group he's leading has been listed as autonomous from Al Qaeda, I did do a little research.

It's obscure.  White House is denying it.  It's a few days old, now.

Which turned out to be yet another lie.

"He was there to have his leg amputated"

"We now believe he has both his legs"
