Zarqawi denies losing 75 men to US attack
2005-05-10
"Nope. Nope. Never happened. Nope."
The Al-Qaeda group of Iraq's most-wanted militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi denied a US report on Monday that 75 insurgents had been killed in a sweep near the Syrian border. 'The adorers of the cross claim to have killed 75 Muslims at Al-Qaim. Once more, they are lying, because lying is their religion,' said the statement on an Islamist website, the authenticity of which could not be verified. US forces said 75 insurgents were killed in the first 24 hours of operations in the area believed to be a Zarqawi stronghold.

#1  He just wants us to prove it, by showing the digital photos and finger prints; atleast of those who have any left other than ashes or shadows!! My advice to the troops: reduce the numbers of confirmed kills by a factor of 4 to the media; keep Zarqawi guessing what happened to them!!
