MNF investigates reports on Al-Zarqawi's arrest nearby Fallujah
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.

Thing is that if we do... there will just be another to take his place.

15. I don't think he's missing a leg anymore
He got better.

It was right after the last time we killed him, I think.

4. I thought at first MNF meant Monday Night Football was investigating.
On second thought, the results would be about the same.

6. Zarqawi would never let himself get "captured"
He lives with a suicide belt on.

23. yeah, I know its easier to pretend our enemies are cowards...
Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 10:48 PM by thebigidea
... and I have severe doubts about the whole Zarqawi myth, but I'd hardly call running around Iraq as the most wanted man in the area very cowardly. Cowardly would be operating somewhere on the Pakistan border or say, Crawford.

19. I don't think he even is alive to be captured.
Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 09:34 PM by Teaser
I believe he's a convenient excuse Sunni Guerrillas use when they don't want to get blamed for blowing up civilians.

16. Grasping (propaganda) victory from total diaster
Does anyone with a brain quicker than a rock believe for a minute that the arrest of one person will put a stop to the diaster we instigated in Iraq?

26. THE LEADER CAPTURED ??????????????????
Ahhh, yes, the infamous 'LEADER'

I guess it wouldn't do to have people going around thinking that anyone else in the world can run the rebellion against the Fascist Invaders.

Well, isn't it for all wars fought for all countries:

If you ELIMINATE THE LEADER the Fight against the Invader and Occupier will fizzle out.

If your enemy does same to you or your general, however, it's either lucky shot or cowardly surprise attack

Also,your own troops have training, THE enemy has just good luck or acts in a thuggish fashion

24. Well, why is it that they catch that guy everytime bush** & Co. are
having a bad day, week, or month?? Lord knows that they could use a little good news after two major countries went beserk in demonstrations just because that fake Texas hairball stepped into their countries. Then of course there's the ports deal. And Cheney shooting that lawyer. And Cunningham going to prison. And the video of DeLay and Abramoff caught in a bear hug. And on and on and on.

Hell, I would have thought after all that that they'd be floating rumors on catching bin Ladin, Al Zarqawi and every other terrorist in the Middle East. I would just like to see them stay caught for once.

27. Don't get all worked up, this al-Zarqawi dude exists only in the realm....
of fiction.

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

They need BS like this to feed the sheep. The war is almost won, terra-dude mastermind extraordinaire is this close to getting caught.

28. this would be funny if it wasn,t so pathetic....
and if people weren't dying....

<A well-informed source told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that the US forces are continuously chasing Al-Zarqawi in an attempt to capture him, adding that the process is going in cooperation with the Iraqi forces.>
