Al-Qaeda in Iraq says leader Zarqawi 'in good health': website

DUBAI - Al-Qaeda in Iraq said its leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the country's most wanted man, was "in good health", in a statement posted Friday on the Internet whose authenticity could not be confirmed.
"Our leader is in good health. He is directing the jihadist operations and has been following the details right up to the time that this statement was drafted," the statement said.
It was signed by the "information chief" of the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Land of Two Rivers, Abu Maisara al-Iraqi, the same name as was used to announce on the Internet on Tuesday that Zarqawi had been wounded.
