BAGHDAD, June 28: The US military denied reports on Monday that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant who Washington says is allied to Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, had been captured in Iraq.
"It's not true, the reports are not true," Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of operations for the US military in Iraq, told Reuters. "We've heard the reports about it, but they are not true."
Earlier, reports on a US-funded Iraqi radio station had suggested Zarqawi had been captured near the town of Hilla. -Reuters
