Iraqi foreign minister says al-Zarqawi may be dead, pending DNA checks

[armydawg1]

Al-Qaida in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is believed to have been killed in a military operation in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, Iraq’s foreign minister said today.

Hoshyar Zebari told the official Petra news agency during a visit to Moscow that Iraqi authorities were testing DNA samples from several corpses of insurgents killed in a weekend gunfight in Mosul.

“American and Iraqi forces are investigating the possibility that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s corpse is among the bodies of some terrorists who died in the special military operation in Mosul,” he said.

State television carried the urgent news in a scrolling newsbar at the bottom of the screen during regular programming, suggesting that Jordanian officials likely believe the report.

No other details were immediately available.

Earlier today, the White House had said it was “highly unlikely” that al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

If this is true, its another sign of defeat for our guys that Murtha and Sheehan (their names go together now) can jump on.......right?

If so, the poor guy could have been spared if only we had heeded the democrats and pulled our troops out last week.

FNC said he wasn't dead. OBL Deux?

Yassar, he's dead alright.

Will Ms. Sheehan weep for Zarqawi too?

Hopefully he's enjoying those 72 Helen Thomases.

I remember when Saddam was rumored to be dead once or twice. Even got Colonel Hunt's assurance he was dead on FNC.

On the other hand, anyone could produce an audiotape purporting to be al-Zarqawi.

I suppose we'll know for sure when Centcom shows a video of al-Zarqawi getting a dental checkup.

I think if he's really dead they'll let the Iraqi government make the announcement. It's their country, and it gives them good PR and an air of legitimacy.

He's not just merely dead, he's really most sincerely dead.
