U.S. doubts Mosul attack hit al-Zarqawi

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military is conducting tests to determine whether terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among those killed in a weekend raid in northern Iraq, but a White House official called that prospect "highly unlikely."
------------------------
How in the world can this White House official know whether the report is "unlikely" or not? He should just say he has no confirmed evidence either way, and not spin it in the current environment.

When something blows up, the administration is quick to say "it looks like the work of Zarqawi", even though they usually have no real evidence of that.
