Since Zarqawi ordered the attack on a Muslim wedding in Jordan two weeks ago, officials say there has been a surge in the number of tips about his whereabouts.
According to Fawaz Gerges, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Sarah Lawrence College and ABC News consultant, "More and more Arabs and Muslims are becoming vocal in their condemnation of Zarqawi's tactics."
Even Zarqawi's attempt last week to apologize or explain the attack on the wedding as a mistake did not seem to help.
"This may have been the straw that breaks the camel's back with regard to attacks on fellow members of Islam," says Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism official and now an ABC News consultant.
In fact, Zarqawi's own tribe disavowed him in an advertisement placed over the weekend in Jordanian newspapers in an apparent attempt to minimize the risk of becoming targets of revenge.
