We have received these reports before, however in most cases, the reports are quickly dismissed by officials in both Iraq and the United States. Today’s response of “no comment” by Iraqi officials differs greatly from previous responses. We will update this story, as information is received.
Iraq’s interior minister on Saturday refused to comment on rumors that the top terror leader in the country had been taken into custody.
“I wouldn’t like to comment for the time being,” Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib said when asked about rumors that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been arrested. “Let’s see. Maybe in the next few days we will make a comment about it.”
Pressing him, a reporter asked, “Does that mean he is in custody?”
“No comment,” the minister repeated.
