From cal04's post in LBN...

Biological samples from the bodies of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his associates were delivered Thursday night to the FBI crime laboratory in Quantico, Va.
----------

wow, that was quick...

----------
Biological materials listed as being from three different individuals, including al-Zarqawi, were received at the FBI laboratory,'' said special agent Ann Todd, the lab's spokeswoman. ``FBI laboratory scientists will be working around the clock to conduct genetic testing.''

DNA tests will compare the sample from al-Zarqawi, which was flown with the other biological material from Iraq on military aircraft, with another sample also known to be from the terrorist leader, said FBI spokesman Richard Kolko.The results are expected in three days. Neither he nor Todd would discuss where or how the FBI found a different DNA sample from al-Zarqawi.
---------

Well, I'd like to know that, wouldn't you? Anyway...

---------
U.S. authorities have already fingerprinted the body to confirm it is that of the terrorist leader, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike on a safe house north of Baghdad. ``Doing DNA is just kind of like crossing the t's, dotting the i's,'' Kolko said. ``It's the last step in the process to absolutely confirm the identity.'' ``We are absolutely confident it is him.''

Do they know for sure or not? I'm just saying, Its smells a little more now than it did. To express confidence repeatedly makes one wonder...But who am I to question?

1. al Zarqawi was in prison in Jordan
from whence his prints probably come, and he must have family, from whence DNA checking can be done.
