US finds 'al-Zarqawi command centre'

US troops sweeping through Fallujah found what appeared to be a command centre used by followers of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, as a general declared the battle for the city had “broken the back of the insurgency”.

A separate raid yesterday near the suspected command centre uncovered a bomb-making workshop where an SUV registered in Texas was being converted into a car bomb and a classroom with flight plans and instructions on shooting down planes, according to a CNN crew embedded with the US army.
