Zarqawi Planning Attack in US

Fox News is reporting that intercepted communications between Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi indicate that Zarqawi has been urged to focus his efforts on attacking the US. The report also indicates Zarqawi may also be on the verge of getting caught and that this strategy might come because of increased pressure in Iraq. (ht: Ace of Spades)

UPDATE: More from USA Today which doesn't name Zarqawi, but which alludes to it when it says:

"A U.S. counterterrorism official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the "very vague" information alluded to moving forward on planning for operations outside of Iraq.
Meaning, al Qaeda is part of the planning of operations in Iraq now. Meanwhile Zarqawi's group has claimed several attacks ain Iraq over the past few days. Notice how fewer and fewer of these attacks are aimed at Americans?

1 I like how the brave bin Laden orders suicide attacks for "the cause" from the safety of his underground hole.

2 Yup, they are going after Iraqi's, especially those who are getting set up for physicals, lined up for jobs as National Guardsmen or police. What a damn shame. 115 DEAD, 130 injured today with one car bomb. Maybe things should be done differently. I still think that a ban on cars at the moment and only military, IP or IGN allowed on the roads till most of this stops. They did it once for a short period but I think that they should do it for everyone for awhile, so if there is a car or vehicle sitting there, let the bomb squad take care of it before it goes off. I think the Iraqi people will understand the reason behind such a missive. Cindy

4 I suspect that ordering Z-Man to go after the US is a face-saving excuse for him to get out Iraq before we capture him. After all, he's the only big name Al Qeada who's actually doing anything more impressive than issuing video tapes. It'll be a rel blow to them when we nail his hide to the barn...
