your hero might be dead Failmore. Iraq FM says checking reports Zarqawi may be dead 5 minutes ago MOSCOW (Reuters) - Iraq has no confirmation but is checking reports Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may have been killed during fighting in northern Iraq, Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Monday. ADVERTISEMENT Zebari said senior militants were present in a house in the city of Mosul when U.S. and Iraqi forces stormed it on Sunday, causing some of those inside to blow themselves up, but it could not yet be determined if Zarqawi was among those killed. U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, speaking to reporters in Iraq, said he did not believe Zarqawi had been killed. The foreign minister told Reuters during a visit to Moscow: "We don't have confirmation. "In my view, I would say there must have been some key leaders of the insurgency, especially the fundamentalists -- al Qaeda type of people -- so I would not be surprised if he could be one of those who blew himself up." "We know that American and Iraqi forces ... surrounded a house where there was fierce resistance and when the American and Iraqi forces jointly tried to storm the building the occupants blew themselves up, they committed suicide," Zebari added. "They believe there must have been some key leaders from the terrorists, from the fundamentalists who committed suicide instead of handing themselves up." The U.S. ambassador sounded a note of caution. "I do not believe that we got them," Khalilzad said. "Of course the days are numbered, we are after him, we are getting closer to that goal but unfortunately ... we did not get him in Mosul." Zebari said only DNA tests could confirm if Zarqawi was among those killed, and said checks were being made. Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq group has carried out many of the deadliest bombings in the country and also claimed responsibility for the hotel bombings in Amman, Jordan, earlier this month. He is known to have been active in Mosul in the past. The U.S. military is offering a $25 million bounty for information leading to his capture or arrest. "Unless they get a confirmation from the DNA it will be difficult to say whether it was him or some of his lieutenants," Zebari said of the eight people killed in the gunfight and subsequent explosions. On Sunday, a U.S. official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "Efforts are under way to determine whether Zarqawi was among those killed." But White House spokesman Trent Duffy, who was traveling with President George W. Bush in Asia, said it was "highly unlikely and not credible" that Zarqawi was among the dead in Mosul.
