Al-Zarqawi has Fled Iraq - Report
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=4602367

An Islamic website statement claimed today that Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaida in Iraq chief, has fled to an unidentified “neighbouring country” with two Arab doctors treating him for gunshot wounds to his lung.

There was no way to verify the authenticity of the claim. The site used to carry al Qaida postings, but has fallen out of use recently. Soon, the posting appeared on another militant site, where it quickly came under attack from other posters as untrue and unauthorised by al Qaida.

On Tuesday, a web statement in the name of al-Zarqawi’s group, al Qaida in Iraq, said the terrorist mastermind has been wounded. But US officials cautioned they did not know if the posting was authentic, and privately said the information also may have been designed to purposefully mislead.

Today’s statement said al-Zarqawi “was secretly smuggled to a neighbouring country a few days ago in a complicated and organised operation.” It did not identify the country.

It said al-Zarqawi was in “stable condition now” after he incurred a “bullet wound which penetrated his right lung.”

1. He fled with two gunshot wounds to the lung?
Whatta guy! Of course, I don't see why he'd still be in Iraq any more than Osama would.

5. This is his current picture
He is the right guy. Sadly he wears a mask so he cannot be identified

14. Neighboring country - wink, wink.
A little bit more of the BFEE/PNAC excuse for the mooted invasion of Iran and/or Syria?

15. Yep
that's exactly what I was thinking.

Oh no we can't say if he is hurt but we do know that he is in another country now so we need to go get him because he caused all those....

21. ooooo look out...
"But US officials cautioned they did not know if the posting was authentic, and privately said the information also may have been designed to purposefully mislead."

I love it when 'US officials' say something privately that's so obvious. You dont suppose US officials might have made an account on the site and posted it themselves? Privately I tell the world, it's possible but unlikely, but that's private, so don't tell anyone.

23. al-Zarqawi has left the building!
So let me see...

missing leg, missing eye, able to escape US Army and Marines, leaves powerbook in back seat of taxi (I hate when that happens), now they say he has a wound to the lung and has left the country.

You know, for a guy they know so much about, they certainly have a heck of a time catching him, huh?

Osama, who?

25. As always
The anonymous "Islamic website". I read on an anonymous "Christian website" that the Earth is only 20 years old. I guess that makes it so. What a pathetic joke this is.
