Could this be true?

It's probably a false alarm, but Tass is reporting that al-Zarqawi has been arrested in Iraq. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm keeping an eye on it all the same.


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.

UPDATE: The Pentagon is denying it, at least according to Drudge.
