Update: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Running Scared, If not Dead

Baghdad, 27 Feb. (AKI) - Al-Qaeda in Iraq, led by Jordanian miltiant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has adopted a new command structure. The new line-up is said to include a sort of shadow government (remember our shadow senators?). Zarqawi is now (if he still lives) more desparate than ever.

Prediction update: Zarqawi is not only doomed, he is now a brooding short-timer (about 5 days left). Zarqawi's fate will not be eternal rest, for although, Allah willing, he will enter paradise, it will only be as the latest female virgin (Priceless). This will be the last update of Molten Eagle's Zarqawi suicide prediction. If there has been no confirmation of his death in due course, my forecast was either error or news is belated.

Regardless, al-Qaeda in Iraq has fallen under increased pressure from local civilians. Moreover, al-Qaeda in Iraq's erstwhile survival provides more intelligence to seal the doom of worldwide, radical Islamist terror. There is probably not one Saudi terrorist financier left unidentified, not one cell leader's alias undisclosed, not one method of communication unbreached, not one cell un-infiltrated, not one American sympathizer still anonymous. The richest part of the intelligence prize is being realized in Zarqawi's desparate moves, or even better - by the sloppy, amateurish moves of his less experiened survivors.

Thank you, Allah.
