The US is offering a $25 million reward for the capture of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the local al Qaeda leader thought to be in Iran providing support for the terrorist attacks in Iraq. Al-Zarqawi is a 38 year old Jordanian thought to be the number three man in the al Qaeda leadership. Iran admits that they have al Qaeda members in their country, and say some of them are under arrest. But Iran has, so far, refused to cooperate any further in the matter.
