Al-Zarqawi Surrounded - Iraqi Minister


Politics: 28 March 2005, Monday.

Iraqi security forces have surrounded Iraq's most-wanted terrorist, Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi, the country's interior minister announced.

"We have not arrested al-Zarqawi," Interior Minister Falah al-Nakib said
during a news conference. "He is surrounded in a certain area, and we hope
for the best. This operation is ongoing. We hope that the situation will be
completely different in Iraq at the end of this year."

Al-Nakib said al-Zarqawi was moving in "more than one area," but declined to
provide more details.

A video of the apparent murder of a kidnapped senior official from the Iraqi
Interior Ministry was posted on the Internet on Sunday, purportedly by the
Al Qaeda wing in Iraq.

The group of Al-Zarqawi has claimed responsibility for some of the bloodiest
attacks against U.S. troops and Iraq's forces.
