Drudge: "al-Zarqawi is surrounded"

Drudge is tenatively reporting that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been surrounded. He is apparently quoting Iraqi Interior Minister Falah al-Nakib.

This isn't being echoed on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, or Yahoo! News yet, but apparently it's making the rounds on some radio already.

Cautious optimism is still the order of the day; we've had false reports of Zarqawi's capture before. Let's hope this one is true, because given the elections and the subsequently demoralized insurgency, this could very well be the back-breaker.

UPDATE: apparently Fox News was talking about the implications of the capture, if it is indeed true, but held off on confirming it. Drudge, for the time being, has removed it. We'll just have to wait and see.
