The Multi-National Force (MNF) on Friday announced it is investigating reports on Abu Mosab Al-Zarqawi's arrest nearby Fallujah.

An MNF officer did not confirm or deny the arrest, noting that the US forces are still investigating the reports.

Meanwhile, an MNF major said the force, based upon intelligence reports, executed Monday a number of arrest operations 45 kilometers northeast of Fallujah to capture key Al-Qaeda officials, Al-Zarqawi's assistants, and others involved in providing logistic support for foreign fighters and suicide attackers in Fallujah and Ramadi.

The major added that 61 people were arrested in the operation, which was announced before, among them were major Al-Qaeda leaders in Iraq, while quantities of weapons and ammunitions were seized and destroyed in the operation.

Meanwhile, sources in the Iraqi Army said that Al-Zarqawi could be among those arrested in the operation on Monday.

So Monday Night Football Got Him ?

[Names Ash Housewares]

Fifth or sixth time he has been arrested isnt it?

God let it be for real this time.

[cmsgop]

Here Boy....

[SamAdams76]

It was Howard Cosell.

[Tall_Texan]

Good. I'm waiting to hear John Madden's analysis.

[rottndog]

KUNA = Kuwait News Agency

Not holding my breath, but cautiously optimistic....

[Billthedrill]

If he's stupid enough to remain in country he's going to get turned in sooner or later. Crossing my fingers.

[pissant]

And the f***** traitors in this country will scream when we torture his evil hide. Which we will do.

[cmsgop]

"Down Goes Zarqawi !!! , Down Goes Zarqawi !!!

[lawnguy]

So Monday Night Football Got Him ?

LOL, I thought exactly the same thing!!

[SeaBiscuit]

Hereeeeeeeeeeeee we go again.. but I'll keep praying it's true anyway.

[PISANO]

Although I would prefer them having his dead body, I pray that this time they got him.

[jmc1969]

KUNA has some of the best reports from Iraq. Trust me they don't make stuff up for fun like many news sources.

[Rocky]

I hope it's true, but these Middle Eastern news sources aren't exactly the most reliable.

[Perdogg]

"Turn out the liiiiights, the party's over.."

[jmc1969]

KUNA isn't reporting we caught him they are just reporting that we are investiagting if we caught him. He changes his appearence all the time, which is why the Iraqis caught and released him before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce that our own Dandy Don has done it - he's arrested none other than Musab Al-Zarqawi.
And dammit, I think Giff has just knocked over my scotch."

[Straight Vermonter]

On the contrary some of them, Kuna included, are far far more accurate than the western news agencies covering Iraq.

[Poundstone]

I doubt he would be willing to be captured. I assume he would kill himself first.

[Straight Vermonter]

ping

[OKIEDOC]

There probably just as or more reliable than our own Main Stream Media.

Especially the New York Times.

[MEG33]

Is Arafat really dead yet?/s


I wait on official statements..I've been through too many rollercoaster rides.

[Bean Counter]

Show me the body.

[GSlob]

Isn't he one-legged? If so, isolating him out of the crowd of 61 [or at least narrowing the search] should be rather easy.

[jmc1969]

I really don't like the knee jerk reaction that many have to anything from the Middle East. There are many in the Middle East that I would be proud to fight beside and fight for. And, there are many news sources I would take any day over the AP or CNN.

[Cowboy Bob]

So Monday Night Football Got Him ?

Those were my thoughts too! :0)

[Billthedrill]

Don't think of it as torture. Think of it as a friendly little conversation during a nice swim.

Piranha? What piranha?

[txrangerette]

DOG!!!

[SevenMinusOne]

So very true -

[highlander_UW]

So Monday Night Football Got Him?

First fruits of changing networks apparently!

[Rocky]

Well, you folks have a point. There aren't very many reliable news sources anywhere.

Actually, KUNA isn't making a very bold claim - just that the American forces are checking to see if Zarqawi was captured. That could be true any day of the week. But putting the article out there might tend to get people's hopes up. It's kind of like teasing a dog by holding a ball just out of reach.

Here's hoping the dog gets the ball this time.

[pissant]

ROFL. Nice pirahna. Just be sure to take little bites from the hot dog.

[Robe]

OOH,OOH,OOH... Can I hold the cattle prod.. please oh please, PLEASE??????

[Iscool]

Well it should have been easy since he's been killed 5 or 6 times already...They were probably tired of carrying him around...

[pissant]

LOL. Perfect.

[JennysCool]

I assume he would kill himself first.

Naw, it's the deluded followers that kill themselves. "Leaders" like Al-Zarqawi are cowards who make deals.

[Southack]

One great thing about these reports is that they will make Zarqawi issue another public statement.

He has to say *something* in public, doesn't matter what, so that his distributed terror cells know that he's still at large rather than captured.

And everytime he makes a public statement, there is some level of trail (back to him) that could get him caught.

[jimbo123]

Here's hoping...

[Canedawg]

"So Monday Night Football Got Him ?"

ROTFL!

[jimbo123]

I guess Zarqawi's claim of always wearing a homicide vest for detonation upon his capture was a typical muslim lie.

[JennysCool]

That'd be my guess.

[Capriole]

Gee, if this is true then we won't be getting Zarqawi's blog anymore, and that would be disappointing. Iowahawk kindly lets the Zarkman use his site for Z's blog: Zarkman Live Zarqawi is a pretty funny guy if you don't mind a lot of bad language. He wrote quite a few interesting pieces on Iowahawk's site. Warning: do not drink coffee while reading this.

Monday night? Sounds like a good job by Jack Bauer. "Yeah, I'm gonna shoot your sorry ass. But first, dance butt-boy dance..."

[billorites]

[wagglebee]

Hell, at least when Howard Cosell broke into MNF to report some breaking news we knew it was probably true!

[Marine_Uncle]

" And everytime he makes a public statement, there is some level of trail (back to him) that could get him caught."
Ya beat jmc1969 on this one. Of course if it turns out to be true, we may not find out for some time anyway. Then again it could look good for the Iraqi element. Sort of stuff a dried camel tit in Jaffari and Sadrs's faces. Force the upcoming battles of wills as who they want in, us or the Turks. Ah. The Arabian desert, night of the alli babba and his 10 million theives.

[jmc1969]

Only if this story is true.
