The most wanted man in Iraq, Islamic militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, is most likely in Baghdad after losing his sanctuary in the western city of Falluja, but he is having a tougher time planning and launching attacks, a top U.S. general says.

"He can operate pretty safely, we think," said Lt. Gen. Lance Smith, deputy chief of U.S. forces in the Middle East.

"In some areas of Baghdad, there are those that would hide him and those that would passively allow him to operate. You can find him someplace else tomorrow."

The United States has offered a $25 million reward for al-Zarqawi's death or capture, accusing him of leading a terrorist network inside Iraq.


And around the middle

Funding for vehicle armor
The U.S. Army will spend $4.1 billion over the next several months to ensure that all of its wheeled vehicles in Iraq are properly armored, Army officials said Wednesday.


Looks like something good will come out from that question last week.
