Falah al-Naquib, Iraq's Minister of Interior, said on 3 February that US and Iraqi security forces were closing the net around Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian Palestinian who is the most notorious - and elusive - of the insurgency leaders. Naquib said that the hunters had narrowly missed capturing him three times in recent weeks. On one occasion, he stated: "We missed him by one hour maybe."
Security foces have been helped by information from the wider community who encouraged by the recent election day are turning against the insurgents and providing information to police and Army units.
Much of the recent suicide bombings are the work of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi supporters
