London: Cops probe Zarqawi link

[ECH1969]

Washington - Investigators in London are probing whether Iraqi explosives - possibly provided by al-Qaeda's top agent in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - were used in last week's terrorist bombings, Time magazine reported on Sunday.

"Al-Zarqawi is a potential source since there's an unlimited amount of explosives and munitions in Iraq that he controls," a US official told the magazine, in a story posted on its website.

"It's just a matter of getting it out of Iraq and to the right people," the official told Time.

Speaking on US television on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said US officials are "concerned about" a possible Zarqawi link.

1. Oh man, here we go..

"...Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said US officials are "concerned about" a possible Zarqawi link. "

I wouldn't allow any US officials anywhere near this investigation. Not if the intent is to get at the truth, that is.

3. desperate

They are always trying to justify their war by saying that Bin Laden and Zarqawi are somehow fueling terrorism, terrorism will go on regardless of those two. Will the republicans stop their stupid policies if Bush leaves office? Terrorism isn't one man!

6. If so, then the "fuel" was left unguarded in Iraq by the US.

"fuel" = high power explosives

5. good, this will get debunked first

I saw Andrea Mithchell float this little trial balloon this morning on MTP. Boy, did she look ashamed of herself! She had to follow Katty Kelly, aho was telling the truth (and much younger and beautiful!)

Desperate Republicans--best comedy entertainment on the planet!

7. French media are reporting the same thing.

It's entirely possible.

8. Of course there's an al-Zarqawi connection!

This is the #1 baddest dude on the entire planet we're talking about here. If there's an attack anywhere on this planet, al-Zarqawi has his hand in it.

As the world's #1 Iron Man, he has survived countless assassination attempts, everything from rockets thru his lungs, taxi-cab shootouts, and exploding safehouses.

There is no way to stop him.
