BAGHDAD (AP) — U.S. forces left a cordoned area around a house in the northern city of Mosul on Monday where eight suspected al-Qaeda members died in a gunfight over the weekend. The White House said it was "highly unlikely" that terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

North of the capital, Diyala provincial police said a car bomb targeting U.S. Humvees killed five civilians and wounded 12 bystanders in the town of Kanan. At least 145 Iraqi civilians have died in a series of attacks over the last four days, including two bombings at Shiite mosques and another at a funeral.

Gunmen killed a Sunni cleric, Khalil Ibrahim, outside his home in the largely Shiite southern city of Basra, police Capt. Mushtaq Talib said. Ibrahim was a member of the Association of Muslim Scholars, a group of influential Sunni clerics that has been sharply critical of the Shiite-led government.

In Baghdad, three people, including one police officer, were killed by gunmen, police said Monday.

2. Pinniped believes US is full of shit.

I don't buy any of this al-Zarqawi propaganda BS.

3. This guy is really a hands on leader

He's always in all the fire fights. Unlike Bush who is usually on AF1 running to a safe Repug stronghold.

4. Scotty can beam al-Zarqawi to ANY firefight anywhere in the world.

I'm surprised he hasn't yet been implicated in the WA mall shooting.

5. Are his remains large?

Big pieces? Bits of a wooden leg?

i find the headline confusing :-)
