Tape Encourages Fighters in Fallujah ( al-Zarqawi on the run??)
CAIRO, Egypt - An audiotape purportedly made by al-Qaida-linked terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi encouraged his fighters in Fallujah and said victory was near.



The tape surfaced Friday on an Internet site known as a clearinghouse for militant Muslim comment. Its authenticity could not be confirmed.


"As for you heroes of Islam in Fallujah, praise for your Jihad, praise for your nation, praise for your religion. (Have) one hour's patience, and then you will see the results," the speaker said after identifying himself as al-Zarqawi.


Signs of "victory are on the horizon," the speaker said, adding a challenge to "the Americans to show the truth of what goes on on the battleground."


The voice sounds like that on earlier tapes attributed to al-Zarqawi

Bush: al-Zarqawi's on the run, but we'll catch him....after OBL, Omar and all the others that seem to slip away. :(

1. I'm at the point that whenever our media reports that someone in
the U.S. higher-ups claims we have someone on the run, it means the enemy is taking an offensive charge towards us.

2. al-Zarqawi speaks the truth, U.S. doesen't want civillian deaths to leak
"the Americans to show the truth of what goes on the battleground." Yes why don't we take a look at the truth, the military thinks they can cover their own terror, but they will lose the information battle.

3. Is this the dead al-Zarqawi again? He is one pesky corpse!
Goldstein strikes again. Wake up stupid Americans! You're being had.

4. al-zarqawi or no al-zarqawi
the insurgency will go on.
it's not dependant on any one individual.
and that's what the public can't get through their heads.

5. How come all these guys always seem to get away?
Are they really there in the first place? Are they just being used, like Bin Laden to justify never-ending war?

6. 'Massacre'
Speaking to Aljazeera a doctor in Falluja gave an emotional
plea for an end to the fighting.

"I'm one of the few medical cadres that survived last Monday
from the massacre," said Dr. Abbas Ali.

"We are in a very tragic situation. Hundreds of dead bodies are
spread in the streets. Even the injured are still there.
We can not transfer them. We can not do anything to save them.

"We call on all organizations and the whole world to help us.
