Web site says Z-man injured

Reuters:

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq and one of Washington's most wanted men, has been wounded, a web posting said on Tuesday in an announcement that could mark a breakthrough against the two-year insurgency.

The statement, which U.S. officials said could be a ruse, was posted on an Islamist site that often publicizes Zarqawi's group. It was released on another day of violence in Iraq, with three U.S. soldiers and two Iraqis killed in car bombings.

"O nation of Islam... Pray for the healing of our Sheikh Abu Musab al-Zarqawi from an injury he suffered in the path of God," said the posting by al Qaeda Organization for Holy War in Iraq.

"You are the beloved of the mujahideen, and may God heal you and make you steadfast," the statement said.

Nice of them to let us know that we are getting closer to speeding his demise.
