Al-Zarqawi Continues To Be Elusive: Noose getting tighter
Topics: Middle East News and PerspectivesIraqi
and U.S. forces have come close to capturing Islamic militant Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi at least twice since mid-January, according to Kurdish
intelligence officials.
In each case, Iraq's most wanted man escaped shortly before raids on
his hideouts, the two officials said in phone interviews from Iraq.
Even though al-Zarqawi fled, Iraqi and U.S. officials were pleased by
the accuracy of the intelligence that led to the raids.
... The recent arrests followed the capture of one of al-Zarqawi's top lieutenants, Abu Omar al-Kurdi, in a Jan. 15 raid in Baghdad. Al-Kurdi has provided detailed information about his boss' movements, hiding places and communication methods, according to the intelligence officials.
Look to see the arrests of members of al-Zarqawi's group continue, and al-Zarqawi himself increasingly isolated. In the end, with any luck at all, we'll see him found hiding in a hole like Sadaam Hussein.
