...Friday appears to have spared him from a missile strike on a remote mountain village, where Pakistani intelligence officials say four other Qaeda operatives were killed.) But in the year of Bin Laden's silence, he has begun to be supplanted as the media face of global jihad by Musab al-Zarqawi, whose grisly exploits in Iraq grab headlines week after week. Not only that, Zarqawi may even be running operations abroad-his Iraq-based Qaeda affiliate is suspected of mounting last November's terror attacks on hotels in Jordan, as well as sending operatives on recruiting and fundraising missions...

But after the Marines had left, the al-Mahal lost a tribal dustup with the Karabilah tribe, which had allied with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq group.
