al-Zarqawi Tasting His Own Medecine?

The Jerusalem Post is reporting that al-Zarqawi may have been shuffled loose the mortal coil in a series of suicide bombings during a raid in Mosul.

The Elaph Arab media website reported on Sunday that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq terror group, may have been killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred while coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding. American and Iraqi forces are looking into the report.

DEBKAfile reports the U.S. is in the midst of a DNA comparison.

Update:  White House says it's "highly unlikely" al-Zarqawi is among the dead.
