The US military said on Saturday that reports that Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been detained in Iraq were not credible.
"We have heard those reports and we do not believe they are true," Lieutenant Colonel Steve Boylan, a US military spokesman in Baghdad, told Reuters. "We have been in contact with the marines based around Fallujah and we have heard nothing about those reports through our channels," he said.
A Kuwaiti news agency earlier reported that Zarqawi was believed to be among 10 militants seized in raids in rebel-held Fallujah, west of Baghdad.
