top terrorist may be wounded

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most wanted terrorist, may be wounded, according to some internet reports. The United States is downplaying the rumors until they can be confirmed.

"There are a lot of these things that have happened in the past that have not panned out," a US official said. "All I can say at this point is I would approach it a little cautiously."

Memo to terrorists: It often helps if you poke the wounds with a sharp, pointy stick. The screams of pain will drive out the infection.
