Zarqawi not far behind?

Accord to reports from Iraq an important Zarqawi aide has been captured, further decimating the ranks of the terrorists.

There's very encouraging news in the report as well.

According to al-Rubaie, government security services managed to infiltrate al-Zarqawi's network — a possible sign of its growing weakness.

"The Iraqi security forces have managed to insert embedded policemen inside the al-Zarqawi group, and the second element is that the Iraqi people, especially those in the so-called Sunni triangle, became more cooperative in informing the police about terrorists' activities and movement — especially the foreigners," al-Rubaie said.

It wasn't that long ago that one of the big problems in Iraq was "insurgents" infiltrating the ranks of the police. If the problem is now reversed, the Iraqis have come a long way.
