White House finds al-Zarqawi reports "not credible"

Apparently the White House doubts reports that the coward Abu Musab al Zarqawi was killed this morning in Mosul, Iraq.

The incident was a firefight, and not, as earlier reported, a suicide bomb explosion.

That in itself makes the reports seem less credible. After all, al Zarquawi's style is slicing the heads off helpless civilians with their hands tied behind their backs, not engaging in actual battle with armed enemy soldiers who can fight back.
