NEW DEPUTY LEADER FOR AL QAEDA
Al Qaeda chiefs in Iraq say they have appointed a new deputy leader after Abu Musab al Zarqawi was wounded.
In a statement posted on an Islamist website they said he would take charge until Zarqawi had recovered from his injuries.
The statement said: "The leaders met after the wounding... and decided to appoint a deputy to assume the leadership until the return of our Sheikh safely."
It could not be immediately verified.
Jordanian Al Zarqawi is the man been behind the attacks on Coalition forces and Shi'ites following the Iraq invasion.
He is also thought to be personally responsible for beheading a number of hostages, including Briton Kenneth Bigley.

Fox News reported at 3:30AM EDT that it is believed Zarqawi was shot and had a lung wound from the gunshot. There is almost nothing worse than a sucking gunshot wound as far as treatability. If he has one of those in a lung he's all but dead, even in the best ER's a wound of this type has extremely high mortality rates.
