Zarqawi survied bombing: was beaten to death by US Forces
What do you think of this :shock:
U.S. troops beat him
The mystery of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's sudden death after surviving a pair of 500-pound bombs dropped on his house became a little clearer today when Iraqi troops said they watched unspecified U.S. troops savagely beat the wounded terror bogeyman.
"The witness said he saw the man lying on the ground, badly wounded but still alive," AP Television News reported today.
"He said U.S. troops arriving on the scene wrapped the man's head in an Arab robe and began beating him. His account cannot be independently verified."
The Pentagon argued that the soldiers were there to "provide medical attention," which apparently resulted in the conscious, alert Zarqawi being dead within moments of their arrival at the scene.

With yesterday's mysteries forgotten -- how he survived two 500-pound bombs that exploded on his head, how long he lived after the bombing, who finished him off, how he grew back his missing leg, etc. -- the new enigma in the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is the story of his last whispered words.
"He mumbled something, but it was indistinguishable and it was very short," Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said today at a press conference in Baghdad.
Indistinguishable to an American who doesn't speak Arabic, maybe. But Zarqawi was reportedly first attended by Iraqi forces. If they heard his last words, they're keeping quiet about it.
According to the Pentagon, U.S. and Polish forces showed up next.
"We did in fact see him alive," Caldwell said. "There was some sort of movement he had on the stretcher, and he did die a short time later."
According to U.S. reports, Zarqawi was conscious, alert and actually tried to hop off the stretcher and run -- luckily for America, he "died" immediately after that escape attempt.
Details of the airstrike and aftermath are changing by the hour. On Thursday, the U.S. military said seven terrorist henchmen were killed in the house along with Zarqawi -- who now seems to have survived the actual bombing.
But by late Friday, the current list of victims included two or three women, a baby and Zarqawi's "spiritual adviser."
More importantly for Washington, Zarqawi's usefulness as bogeyman was dead.
After the Washington Post revealed details in April of what many already suspected -- that Zarqawi was at worst a minor figure who had been turned into a one-man Iraqi insurgency by Pentagon psyops experts -- he was no longer of any use to the Bush Administration.
And his reported death by U.S. hands served the double duty of rare "good news" from Iraq while changing the subject from the outrageous mass murder of innocents by U.S. Marines in Haditha.
Perhaps Zarqawi's last words were, "Mission Accomplished."
