An Iraqi customs agent secretly working with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terror cell spilled the beans on the group after he was arrested, Jordanian officials tell ABC News.
Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly was arrested by Jordanian intelligence forces last spring.
Officials say Karbouly confessed to his role in the terror cell and provided crucial information on the names of Zarqawi commanders and locations of their safe houses.
Karbouly also admitted to his role in the kidnappings of two Moroccan embassy employees, four Iraqi National Guards and an Iraqi finance ministry official.
In a videotaped confession, Karbouly said he acted on direct orders from Zarqawi.
Officials say he will not be eligible for any of the $25 million reward money.

And the 25 million continues to draw interest. That worked out well.
If they deserve, I don't mind them taking all they can get.
It's very interesting that they don't seem to be worried about retaliation. Could inspire other relatively moderate muslim fence sitters to throw al Qaeda under the bus and sign on with Uncle Sugar.
Just roll over that reward for the head of whomever takes over Al Qaeda in Iraq now. Whoever it is will never have the level of loyalty Zarqawi commanded, as imperfect as we now know that was.
Amazing how powerful it is that a pair of panties over the head can make the guy talk..
Zarqawi took on the King of Jordan with those hotel bombings. Now the King is letting everyone in the hood know what happens when you do that.
Don't mess with the little horn.
Did they trick him into thinking he was getting $25 million?
I hope we didn't get this information by putting this man under duress! (/sarc)
If true, this is really great news.
This means an al Qaeda thug can captured anywhere, and the intel can reach out to zero the bad thugs far away.
One can only hope that the Jordanians didn't put female panties on the head of this poor terrorist to get this info.
Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly - The man most hated by the DNC/MSM.
I didn't know Jack Bauer was in Jordan.
That little guy's got some cajones, plus the hottest wife ever.
"I wonder if this dude was tortured?"
Rush alluded to this yesterday.
You can bet, that the whiney lefties of America and around the world will complain that their Hero, Z Pig, was killed due to intel gained by torture.
He squealed like a pig.
Yeah, damn that rendition program! It may well have taken one of history's worst terrorists out of the game. We can't have that.
He better hope they keep him in solitaire a long, long, time.
That family is good at putting on smiley faces for their western friends, but when they have to, they can be at least as ruthless as any of the other Middle East badboys. To my mind, the King's father is the only leader in the last 50 years who has effectively dealt with the Palestinians -- which he did by wiping 'em out during the Black September uprising.
