Task Force 145 carried out a raid on Saturday morning in the Julaybah area, targeting an al Qaeda Emir that was not identified. Upon arriving in the area, twelve kilometers east of Ramadi, coalition troops came under rifle and machinegun fire, soon followed by mortar fire from across a nearby river. Responding with fire and air support, coalition forces raided five structures, and killed three terrorists while detaining four others. Three vehicles loaded with weapons and IED material were recovered from the area, along with several other weapons caches. Authorities are in the process of determing if the al Qaeda Emir was among the dead or captured.

Zarqawi's days are numbered.

He's too much of a pussy to be found anywhere near any action.

Would this be the Emir who can't operate his own weapon?

This must be a diffent Emir than the one of April 29th:
(location Samarra)

BAGHDAD, April 28 -- U.S. forces killed a local leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq and captured another in raids north of Baghdad on Thursday and Friday, dealing a blow to the insurgent organization's leadership in the violent city of Samarra, Iraqi police and U.S. military authorities said.

U.S. troops tracked Hamadi al-Takhi al-Nissani, al-Qaeda's "emir" in Samarra, to a safe house north of the city Friday morning, the U.S. military said in a statement. As the soldiers approached the house, Nissani fled and was killed. Two other armed insurgents in the house were also killed, according to the statement.
