Missed him by that much

In an AP story about U.S. troops mistakenly killling three Iraqi civilians, including a child, we find this:

Earlier Monday, U.S. forces left a house in the northern city of Mosul where eight suspected al-Qaida members died in a weekend gunfight, and the White House said it was "highly unlikely" that terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

Each a shame.
