A FreeRepublic thread provides several links to a story that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been arrested in Iraq. Here are the links:

• ITAR:TASS--Abu Musab al-Zarqawi reportedly arrested in Iraq
• Kazinform--Abu Musab al-Zarqawi reportedly arrested in Iraq.

UPDATE:

Also this, from the BBC World Monitoring International Reports:

Text of report by Iraqi Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) web site on 4 January

A high-ranking official source at the US embassy has denied the news of the arrest of Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi by Iraqi forces in cooperation with the multinational forces.

It is worth noting that earlier Arab and foreign news agencies reported the arrest of the terrorist Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi in the town of Ba'qubah.
