U.S. officials tell NBC News American and Iraqi forces captured one of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi's inner-circle in a raid Feb. 20 near the border with Syria — just missing al-Zarqawi himself.

The man arrested is known as Abu Qutaybah and he decided who, when and how other militants met al-Zarqawi. He told U.S. officials al-Zarqawi is on the run — never sleeping in the same place two nights in a row.

Friday’s announcement comes as the Iraqi government this week launched an unusual new anti-terror campaign: A gritty TV show called “Terrorists in the Hands of Justice.”

Every few hours on state television alleged insurgents confess in gripping detail.

One man said he stalked 10 college girls who were translators for the U.S. Army, then raped and murdered them. Another said he beheaded 10 people after first practicing on animals.
