Kurdish Press Reports His Capture in Iraq
This is not officially confirmed, but has been reported in a number of places.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is believed to have been captured in a raid east of Baghdad. Al-Zarqawi was recently dubbed as Bib Laden's senior deputy and "as al Qaeda's leader in Iraq."
Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian by birth, is one of the senior terrorists in the Middle East. On Sunday, his group released a video tape of five Iraqi security men being brutally executed. The five were lined up with their hands tied behind them and then shot repeatedly. Even after the last body fell to the ground, the gunmen continued to shoot.
Zarqawi is considered the number one figure on the US "most wanted list." The US had offered a $25 million reward for his capture.
Once again, please note that the capture has NOT been confirmed.
