Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Iraq operations unwinding?
There are early indications that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Iraqi operations may be coming to an end. A message on an Islamist Web site said May 25 that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaeda in Iraq's leader, has left Iraq for a "neighboring country" for treatment of a gunshot wound to the lung. The statement claimed that al-Zarqawi was smuggled out of Iraq and treated by Arab doctors for a gunshot to his right lung, and is now in stable condition. The message's authenticity could not be verified, and was denied on another Web site used by militants.
The U.S. military announced May 25 that the most wanted militant in Northern Iraq has been arrested. Iraqi forces in Balad arrested Mullah Kamel al-Aswadi, an aide to al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, as he tried to bribe his way through a checkpoint. U.S. officials said al-Aswadi was involved in the funding and training of terrorist cells and the production of car bombs and roadside bombs.
Iraqi security forces have killed the assistant to a senior aide of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in northern Iraq, Iraqi officials said May 25. Sabhan Ahmad Ramadan, aka Agah Abu Saad, was killed at a checkpoint in Ninawa province. Ramadan was an aide to al Qaeda in Iraq's chief of operations in Mosul, the officials added.
