Zarqawi is bearly holding Iraqi ops together, let alone try to coordinate an action 1/2 way around the world. However, the reports of his near capture I think are credable due to the significant numbers of his lieutenants recently captured and Iraqi's turing against him. Maybe later info might clear this up.
Posters on another thread are saying that MSNBC is reporting that the binny communication simply referred to attacks "outside of Iraq" and not specifically in the U.S. as Fox is reporting.
