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

[ECH1969]

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.

1. What, again?

Or maybe he got killed again, too?

[cantstandbush]

20. Neither we nor they know what Zawgari looks like now. n/t

[BlakeB]

2. Well, I hope we got the bastard.

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

[salinen]

3. Must be tons of one-legged

non-nationals living in Iraq.

[htuttle]

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.

[VegasWolf]

4. I thought at first MNF meant Monday Night Football was investigating.

On second thought, the results would be about the same.

[Captain Hilts]

5. I was thinking "Monday Night Football." nt

[Joanne98]

6. Zarqawi would never let himself get "captured"

He lives with a suicide belt on.

[stillcool]

7. Does this mean....

I no longer have to check under my bed?

[Greeby]

8. GOLDSTEIN!!!!!!

:hide:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. LOL, exactly.

[boobooday]

14. Sorry, should have noticed you already posted the Orwell reference

:hi:

[still_one]

9. I hope it is true but doubt it

do you really believe he would allow himself to be taken alive?

[seriousstan]

12. Yes, he is only brave sending others to their death.

[thebigidea]

23. yeah, I know its easier to pretend our enemies are cowards...

... 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.

[still_one]

25. he is scum and a ruthless killer

but coward would NOT be the right term, and I cannot perceive him surrendering or being taken alive

[Teaser]

19. I don't think he even is alive to be captured.

I believe he's a convenient excuse Sunni Guerrillas use when they don't want to get blamed for blowing up civilians.

11. Pentagon Newspeak Alert !!! "Multinational Force" (the new Coalition) -

Doesn't it sound and look like Orwellian Pentagon speak?

13. You mean they caught Goldstein?

Oh no!

At least we still have Osama for our two-minutes of hate.

[teryang]

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?

[saigon68]

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

[fknobbit]

17. irrelevant and irreverent but

Fallujah sounds like O Reilly soulfood.

[Teaser]

18. Next to be captured: Zorro, then Batman, then the Easter Bunny

oh wait, they don't exist either.

[VegasWolf]

21. and, finally, they will capture God hiding out on Mars. nt

[yellowcanine]

22. It will probably turn out to be another boring number two.

[acmavm]

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.

[pinniped]

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.

[leftchick]

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.>

[saigon68]

29. NO NEED TO CHASE HIM

HE IS HERE

[leftchick]

30. yep

that is excellent.
