Andkronos International news agency reports that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is “serious injured, possibly dead.”

The Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is “serious injured, possibly dead” according to Colonel Fouad Hani Hassan, commander of the fifth division of the Iraqi armed forces, cited by ‘Elaph’, a popular website in the Arab world. Al-Zarqawi, considered al-Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, is believed to have been injured in the major offensive US-led forces have been carrying out in the western Anbar province over the last few days.

UPDATE: At Captain’s Quarters, Captain Ed is urging caution about this report but posts “it makes sense that Zarqawi would have been in that area, coordinating the recruitment, training, and disposition of terrorist militia near the Syrian lines of communication that have kept his operation alive, up to now.”

The only way America could lose is at home. That is what the terrorists count on. A fifth column.

If it’s true, then good for us. But frankly I’ll be surprised. After all, how many times did we destroy “a safehouse where Zarkawi was thought to be staying” prior to our major operation in Fallujah?

Regardless, I don’t think it makes that much difference one way or the other. Zarkawi probably isn’t responsible for half the things he gets credit for. It may be convenient for the military and the media to talk of Zarkawi and his network as a coherent force, but the insurgency is a multi-headed hydra. Killing one of its heads is progress, but very limited progress. Newsworthy not because it’s different from what we’ve been doing all along, but simply because we’ve been talking about this particular hydra-head for so long.

There is already a fifth column. It is the political left and their propaganda arm the MSM.

Amen!

Let us all do our best to ensure that radicals don’t do to this generation of American soldiers what was done to my generation.
 
The big cockroach possibly killed!

Despite the increase in the terrorists attacks in Baghdad the terrorist groups especially of the Jordanian Abomusab Zarqawi suffered sever damages in the last few weeks.

Since the middle of April most of the members of the closest circle to Zarqawi have been arrested or killed.

The latest US and Iraqi forces attack especially in Ramadi and Qaiem resulted in sever damages to the thugs’ bases. This time the situation was quiet different from Faluja because some of the tribes and the people fought with the Iraqi forces against the terrorists. They organized themselves in brigades called (Al-Hamza). Zarqawi groups in a statement published today admitted heavy losses because of this.

Possibly Zarqawi has been killed during these attacks. The statement of his groups were today issued under the name of his deputy (Abo-Abdrahmn) and a finger print for his DNA test has been requested from Jordan. On the other hand the doctor who treated him in Ramadi confessed that his injuries were more or less fatal.hammorabi.blogspot.com/2005/05/big-cockroach-possibly-killed-despite.html
 
More info:

IRAQ’S most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been seriously wounded, according to a doctor who claims to have treated him last week.

The doctor told an Iraqi reporter in the western city of Ramadi that Zarqawi was bleeding heavily when he was brought into hospital on Wednesday. After treating his wounds the doctor tried to persuade him to remain, but the Jordanian-born terrorist’s minders drove him away.

The claim was supported yesterday by a senior commander in the Iraqi resistance who had been to Ramadi to investigate the report.

According to the doctor, Zarqawi was escorted into Ramadi general hospital by smartly dressed men. “He was bleeding heavily and his escorts were well dressed with a look about them that was different from the casualties and family members we had been receiving from the al-Qaim offensive,” he was quoted as saying.

“I treated his injury and asked that he remain in hospital for further observations and told him that we would have to register him and take down his name and details. But he became very nervous and agitated. He refused and told me he would not be staying. “The three men with him asked me politely that he be allowed to leave hospital immediately and that I supply them with a prescription and a list of medication that he may need.”
