Anybody read italian?

I believe the last sentence of this report says that it was a letter-by-courier message that was intercepted.
******
Zarqawi lo scorso ottobre ha giurato fedeltà ad Al Qaeda e Bin Laden ne ha pubblicamente lodato le iniziative in Iraq. L'intelligence americana ha intercettato in passato comunicazioni tra i due terroristi, di solito affidate a lettere trasportate da corrieri.
