U.S. Military Denies Reports of Zarqawi Capture

[Spazito]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military denied reports Monday that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant who Washington says is allied to Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) and al Qaeda, had been captured in Iraq (news - web sites).

It's not true, the reports are not true," Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of operations for the U.S. military in Iraq, told Reuters. "We've heard the reports about it, but they are not true."


Earlier, reports on a U.S.-funded Iraqi radio station had suggested Zarqawi had been captured near the town of Hilla, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, in an area controlled by Polish troops. Iraqi officials in Hilla said a man had been captured who resembled Zarqawi and spoke with a similar accent.


But Polish forces said the man was not Zarqawi.

1. Are they hiding him so the Iraq Government can capture him.

2. Another example of great minds thinking alike.

If they're denying they caputured him, they probably have or are close.

4. Keeping him on ice pointless

No one cares about Zarqawi in this country.
Take a poll of people on the street and you'll be lucky to find 3 people who knows who he is.
