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

BAGHDAD, March 3 (KUNA) -- 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.

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.

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.

Al-Zarqawi is the leader of Al-Qaeda organization in Iraq and is responsible for a number of armed operations targeting US and Iraqi soldiers and citizens, in addition to the abduction and beheading of civilians. (end) mhg.

#23  I'd be satisfied with:

1) Announce release time and place on radio / TV - two hours in advance.
2) Release at noon (local) time in Samarra, Iraq
3) One minute head start

#22  So why not air-drop some BZ via crop dusters to known hangouts of 'militants?'

#20  3dc: old tech. funny movies, though. However, we now have such things as endorphine blockers that can make you feel every nerve ending in your body at the same time. BZ is just too damn unreliable--unpredictable results. Sloppy.

We also have lovely, magnificant psychotropics that are just a wonderment. Think of them as full virtual-reality Hell simulators.

Paranoia drugs that will make you terrified of everything all at once, like a dozen different intense phobias.

Brain electrode implants that are just plain fun.

We can probably make him think he is a disembodied living brain in a jar. Or that pork is the tastiest food in the world. Or that he has met Allan, and she is a dominatrix. Or convince him that he is a raving homosexual.

We can re-write his brain so that he is our most trusted agent. Use drug-induced hypnosis and implant high tech explosives in his abdomen prior to his meeting with the President of Iran.

We have all this great technology, I say we use it.

#18  3dc: far too gentle. Didn't you use to watch the X-Files? I figure we won't have done him justice unless by the time of his departure from this plane he is karma free.

Science is our friend.

#14  Iraqi handlers. Make sure there are family members of victems of the AQ "lions of islam" suicide bombers.

I think they would make Hanibal Lecter look like a Boy Scout.

#13  The US already got Zarqawi's laptop once before.
Zarqawi narrowly escapes US trap
US forces recently came close to capturing Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq and had found his laptop computer and seized some of his money, America's ABC television reported today.

#12  I am very cautious to get excited about this, especially after so many close calls. BUT IF THIS S.O.B. EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING IS IN CUSTODY, I WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH JOY. TWO WORDS, CAN YOU SAY... DEATH PENALTY???

#11  We will need help from the Iraqis to *ahem* loosen his tongue, in a venue that is a fine and private place. 48 hr rule.....damn, it's hard to wait....

#9  I'm hoping it's true. Be nice if they got his laptop too, full of "logistical support" and Iranian addresses.

#8  If true, it will be true forever, there's no hurry, lol. But the fun is infectious...

#6  I vote for this wringing after interrogation:

1) Douse him with BZ
2) coat with honey
3) wrap in wet leather
4) place in desert sun near ant hill
5) Rescue before death
6) Nurse back to health
7) remove finger nails with pliers
Repeat 1-6
8) remove toe nails with sledge hammer
Repeat 1-6
9) crush one jewel
Repeat 1-6

Video tape the whole thing and broadcast on Al Jizz so retards can see what it gets them -

#5  I find myself in complete agreement with Zenster.

#4  I'm not a superstitious man, but I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed just in case. Would that we could get Zarqawi to implicate Iran. Drool.
Posted by: Zenster   2006-03-03 19:06  

#3  Yeah, I know it's probably wrong, and at least 48 hours would have to pass before it was acknowledged, even if it is right. But it is so much fun to speculate.
Posted by: Glenmore   2006-03-03 18:47  

#2  Oh, it could'nt be the brave Al-Zarqawi. He promised to blow himself up. We all know the ones that send the people to die, would never be taken alive.

#1  Invoke the 48 hour rule.
