Zarqawi Encourages Fighters In Fallujah

Zarqawi encouraged his fighters in Fallujah and said victory was near in a tape posted on the Internet. According to the Associated Press the tape surfaced Friday on an Internet site known as a clearinghouse for militant Muslim comment and its authenticity could not be confirmed:

"As for you heroes of Islam in Fallujah, praise for your Jihad, praise for your nation, praise for your religion. (Have) one hour's patience, and then you will see the results," the speaker said after identifying himself as al-Zarqawi.

"Rejoice my nation. There is no doubt that God's victory is on the horizon," the speaker said, adding a challenge to "the Americans to show the truth of what goes on the battleground."

The voice on the tape sounded like that on earlier tapes attributed to al-Zarqawi. The statement was peppered with verses from the Quran and poetry, typical of recordings linked to al-Zarqawi.

I take this to be another indication that U.S. and Iraqi government forces are doing well in Fallujah.
