U.S. Says al Zarqawi Near Capture
The U.S. says it is close to capturing alleged al Qaeda leader al Zarqawi.
He is believed to have been in a car that was stopped in February. His laptop was seized but he got away.
A February raid by a covert US military unit came so close to Zarqawi that he fled from the vehicle in which he was traveling on foot, leaving his computer behind, say government sources.
How did he run away with only one leg?
Al-Zarqawi is then believed to have fled to Iraq in 2001 after losing a leg in a US missile strike on his Afghan base.
Some other times Zarqawi has been close to capture:
