Iraqi military officials say they know where Zarqawi is hiding

"IRAQI military officials said yesterday that they had intelligence indicating that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the militant leader behind some of the bloodiest attacks in Iraq, is in Diyala province near Baghdad.

The news came amid reports that Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, was constantly prepared to be captured.

A leader of a Sunni resistance group, who said he recently spent time with the most wanted man in Iraq, reportedly said the militant leader wore a suicide belt even when asleep.

"He told me: 'I would rather blow myself up and die as a martyr - and kill a few Americans along the way - than be humiliated by them," Sheikh Abu Omar al-Ansari, leader of Jeish al- Taiifa al-Mansoura [Army of the Victorious Sect] was quoted as saying."
