Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Zarqawi may have been killed yesterday in a firefight in Mosul. Reports are unconfirmed at this point.
Update:
US Officials claim they have nothing to base this on other than they acted on a tip that claimed a high level “Al Qaeda in Iraq” leader was in the house. The reason the media thinks he may be killed is becasue a known terrorist website claims he was killed.
