Arrest of Militant Suspected to be Zarqawi-Iraqi Security Sources
Iraqi security sources said today that a man suspected to be the leader of the Jihad and Taweed militant group, Abu Musaab Zarqawi was detained in US led military operations Friday.
The detained militant resembled Zarqawi, said the sources, noting that he was arrested with nine others after the US Marines besieged a house in Fallujah yesterday.
The militant will be undergoing DNA tests to confirm his identity, said the sources.
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense confirmed in a press statement that cleansing operations by coalition forces were underway in Fallujah.

We should get the DNA material from a bullet lodged in this mans skull. Or the hair caught in a rope used to hang him.

Bush has a big "terrorism" speech on MON or TUES in NJ. Hmmmm. Don't suppose the October surprises are ready to be rolled out, do you?
