WASHINGTON — Jordanian terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search), believed responsible for a series of attacks, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq, has been trying to communicate with Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden, a senior defense official tells FOX News.

Within the past several days, the anonymous defense official said, a courier had been intercepted inside Iraq bearing a message from Zarqawi to bin Laden. The official would not reveal the contents of the message or exactly when and where its bearer had been found.

Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad (search) (Monotheism and Holy War) militant group has claimed to have abducted several foreigners in Iraq in the past few months, and to have killed some of them, including American independent contractor Nicholas Berg (search). American officials believe Zarqawi himself held the knife that decapitated Berg.

Why did they report this? They should have taken the guy privately and extracted the location of both of these @ssholes - he obviously knows where they both are.

The message was "Wait for Kerry - Hope is on the way"

Is it from Signal Intelligence or did they capture a currier?

And was the message encrypted?

Does anyone know what happened about the arrest of Zarqawi? I thought he was caught.

Well hells bells, why report it! Why not make the courier deliver a letter bomb to Osama instead.
