Operation Matador does not specifically target al Qaeda terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who reportedly was seen in the area within the past three weeks

#3 I find it interesting that this comes from an Iraqi Colonel - and there are no Iraqi forces participating in this sweep, per the article(s) from previous days on this Opn.

#7 plus the fact the chose to stand and fight means they felt the had to defend the target area
Read somwwhere that USMC has blocking manuvers in place, so it may not be a choice to defend the target.
Sure would be a nice "get"...

#14 YS: That's priceless!

"It's the fourth day of violent fighting around the town..."
