al-Zarqawi captured?

Drudge says that there are reports of the capture of al-Zarqawi:

Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, whom the US occupation authorities declared to be the "target number one" in Iraq, has been arrested in the city of Baakuba, the Emirate newspaper al-Bayane reported on Tuesday referring to Kurdish sources. Al-Zarqawi, leader of the terrorist group Al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad, was recently appointed the director of the Al-Qaeda organisation in Iraq.

The newspaper's correspondent in Baghdad points out that a report on the seizure of the terrorist, on whom the US put a bounty of 10 million dollars, was also reported by Iraqi Kurdistan radio, which at one time had been the first to announce the arrest of Saddam Hussein.

He's updated with military claims that the report is untrue. Of course the "fog of war" has some effect in this case and time will tell.

I'm dubious, but keeping my fingers crossed that we actually do have the guy.

I'm hoping that we do have him but are trying to keep it quiet until we can secure him out of the area.
