Zarqawi in ‘good health’

Published May 28, 2005

DUBAI, May 27: Al Qaeda in Iraq said its leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the country’s most wanted man, was ‘in good health’, in a statement posted on Friday on the Internet. “Our leader is in good health. He is directing the jihadist operations and has been following the details right up to the time that this statement was drafted,” the statement said.

It was signed by the ‘information Chief’ of the Al Qaeda Organization in the Land of Two Rivers, Abu Maisara al Iraqi, the same name as was used to announce on the Internet that Zarqawi had been wounded. —AFP
