One legged man eludes capture-jumps out of moving car (~30MPH)

ABC WNT tonight said last night (NBC Today Show picked it up this morning) that the car Zarqawi jumped out of may have been going about 30 MPH at the time. It just gets more and more INcredible doesn't it?

April 25, 2005 — Jordanian rebel Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — Iraq's most wanted fugitive — recently eluded capture by American troops, but left behind a treasure trove of information, a senior military official told ABC News.

The senior military official said that they have since learned Zarqawi jumped out of the vehicle when it passed beneath an overpass, presumably to avoid detection from the air, and hid there before running to a safe house in Ramadi.

Zarqawi Eclipsing Bin Laden in Prominence

In 1999, after being released from jail in Jordan, Zarqawi formed an alliance with bin Laden allowing Zarqawi to operate a training camp in Afghanistan for Arab fighters committed to the overthrow of Jordan's moderate monarchy.
During the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Zarqawi is believed to have been badly wounded in a U.S. airstrike and fled to Iran. Later, he ended up in Baghdad, where Saddam's regime allowed him to recuperate for several months after having his leg amputated.

A U.S. official said Tuesday that al-Zarqawi traveled to Baghdad in May 2002 for treatment of a leg injury but, contrary to previous reports, appears not to have had a leg amputated. The official would not discuss the reason for the change in assessment.
Al-Zarqawi, an associate of Osama bin Laden, had been named by the Bush administration as an al Qaeda member who fled to Iraq from Afghanistan in May 2002 for medical treatment and then stayed to organize terror plots. He came to Iraq with about two dozen al Qaeda terrorists, according to the administration.
Before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, President Bush, Secretary of State Colin Powell and other administration officials pointed to intelligence that they said suggested al-Zarqawi had had his leg amputated in Baghdad.

Unfortunately a YEAR before that report CNN said:

Zarqawi was said to have received medical treatment in Baghdad in May and June of 2002 after being wounded in Afghanistan during the war. His leg was amputated, U.S. officials say, by a surgeon in Iraq.

WaPo article

I can't find the article (WorldNetDaily I think) about how the layer fought off Fedayeen soldiers when he returned to the family apartment to get some things...dadadum dumdum...then was told by Marines at a check point that he better hurry because the bridge he was about to cross would be blown up soon by artillery......dadadum dumdum...he raced across the bridge with a truck load of Fedayeen firing at him with missiles and AK's (they apparently got around the Marine check point so the story goes)....dadadum dumdum.....the lawyer JUST made it across but the truck load of Fedayeen did not (picture rounds landing just behind his car)

Seriously that was the story.
