«Iraq militants claim al-Zarqawi is dead»

«Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq, during the American bombing there, according to a statement circulated in Fallujah this week and signed by the Leadership of the Allahu Akbar Mujahedeen. There was no way to verify the authenticity of the statement, one of many leaflets put out by a variety of groups taking part in the anti-U.S. resistance.»

«It said al-Zarqawi was unable to escape the bombing because of his artificial leg.»

«One man, his face contorted with rage, yelled out that the Israelis and Americans were behind the attacks on the hotels, that al-Zarqawi was a religious man. He recounted how al-Zarqawi had once rescued a dog from some young men in the neighborhood who were abusing the animal. His implication was that such a man could not have committed terrorist acts.»

CIA: Al-Zarqawi identified as man who decapitated Berg

WASHINGTON - The masked assassin shown on a fuzzy videotape beheading American hostage Nick Berg is believed to be terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a U.S. intelligence official said Thursday.

The voices on the tapes are "a good match" and the killer is "most probably" Zarqawi, the CIA official said.

Berg, 26, disappeared April 10 after he left his hotel in Baghdad.

If Al-Zarqawi died in February/March 2004, then he was not on the beheading videos from Iraq which appeared from April/May 2004. Still CIA blaims him. That is an indication that it is CIA itself or Mossad which were behind those beheading videos.
