At least one Arab television media outlet reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred after coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding.
WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are looking into whether al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, but a White House spokesman said that was "highly unlikely."

If true, it would sound like the Jordanians were holding out on us, until THEIR asses were attacked and THEIR King was threatened..
It's getting harder and harder to trust an Arab Muslim.... With over 1,000,000,000 Muslims in the world -- you'd think that at least a million or two would be willing to join us on the BATTLEFIELD and not just sit in the bleachers...
Semper Fi
The MSM built Zarqawi up when we couldn't find him and if they did get him they'll do their best to tear him down.
(I know it has nothing to do with the thread)
HOW TO TELL IF YOU'VE BEEN ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
By NICK JEFFREYS Roswell, N.M.
MOST people have been abducted by aliens, say some UFO experts -- so odds are you're one of them.
"Extraterrestrials possess the ability to wipe human memory clean," said Dr. J. Albert Longneck, a UFO investigator from Houston, Texas. "You could be kidnapped once or twice a week and you wouldn't remember a thing."
But there are detectable signs that you've been taken aboard a spacecraft and examined, according to Dr. Longneck. Here is a revealing excerpt from his upcoming book Did I Forget I Was Kidnapped By Aliens?
•You're drunk a lot -- Aliens take advantage of boozers because they're used to forgetting huge blocks of time and some really embarrassing stuff, said Dr. Longneck. ETs appreciate drunks because they don't have to waste their memory- wiper ammunition, which is expensive. They pick up a lot of people stumbling out of bars.
•You are mentally ill -- No one believes a psycho when he says he was in a space ship. Extraterrestrials take advantage of that fact by lurking around insane asylums and psychiatrist offices.
•You find a lot of puncture marks in your arms and you can't remember injecting yourself -- "These are from routine alien blood tests," said the expert.
•During an X-ray, your doctor discovers you are missing an internal organ you know you were born with -- "A lot of times aliens take out spleens, a lung, a kidney, an appendix so they can examine them closely," explained Dr. Longneck. Despite their advanced intellect, sometimes they simply forget to put them back.
•You wake up and can't remember everyday things like your name, the year, your address, your spouse's name, etc. -- "The alien scientists have sliced out a vital part of your brain," said Dr. Longneck.
•You cut yourself and your blood is green -- "This is when they've accidentally sucked out too much of your blood and had to give you a blood transfusion from their own blood bank," explained the expert.
•You suddenly find yourself in a foreign country thousands of miles from where you live -- "Aliens have a very bad sense of direction and can't read maps worth a damn," said Dr. Longneck. "They'll circle around the globe a lot, then get disgusted and just give their human abductees the boot when it's dinnertime -- alien wives are not very understanding."
•You look in the mirror and see that your nose is suddenly smaller -- "Many extraterrestrials are interested in plastic surgery techniques and will try them out on their captives," said Dr. Longneck.
•You develop an irrational fear of going to the doctor when it's never bothered you before -- "Your subconscious is telling you you've been poked, prodded, injected and probed enough," said Dr. Longneck.
•You suddenly discover you are missing a limb -- "You know you started out the day with two arms and two legs, and yet, when it's time to go to bed, one is missing," said Dr. Longneck. "This is an indication they have kept one of your limbs for dissection purposes."
We could always beat them with a politically incorrect one. You could put the parts together like a jagged puzzle and have spattered blood on it with one of those cirles with a line through it.
"The Dems would freak if some of our soldiers bad mouthed them.:
Wasn't that the case Friday night? Sounded like a Dem riot.
The bleeding hearts have already prepared their stories.
Ex-Cellmate Says al-Zarqawi Was Tortured
A man once imprisoned with Iraq's most feared terror leader said Sunday that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was tortured regularly by Jordanian prison officials in the late 1990s and was held six months in solitary confinement.
Offering possible partial clues as to why the Jordanian-born al-Qaida leader chose Amman for triple hotel bombings earlier this month, the former cellmate, Yousef Rababaa, said: "He hated the intelligence services intensely, and the authorities didn't know how to deal with his new ideology."
Since AP has already trotted out the sympathy piece, I believe the z-man has assumed room temperature. After a brief spike to about 680 degrees.
After Friday night this is not what the Dems needed going into this week.
THAT would be great, eh? He's chairman of the joint chiefs now, too...
When it comes to combat- we're all on the same team.
WH says it's highly unlikely Zaq was killed (per Fox news)
That's what Zark said. I hate when that happens.
And that, my friend, is the cherry on top of the whipped cream on top of the Sunday. ; ). Or something like that.
Exactly. When Zarqawi was killing Christians and Jews, the Jordanians cheered him on. But after he blew up a bunch of Jordanians and "Palestinians", they ratted him out immediately. Never trust a muzzie. They are nothing but a bunch of insane death cultists.
That was a buzz kill. Guess I will go get some laundry done.
Yep I saw that ....I think he also grew up in "grinding poverty" and had an "abusive mother"
Damn ...
