Zarqawi released an audio message on 18 November 2005 attempting to do damage control in the face of the backlash against his bombing of three hotels in Amman, Jordan on 09 November 2005. We acquired our copy here:

In the message Zarqawi threatens to kill the King of Jordan. As cause he cites Jordan's involvement in CIA counter-terrorism activities, and at about 4'50" into his rant he says words to the effect of:
the Los Angeles Times reported that the Jordanian intelligence is becoming CIA's deputy in the region...'
For a discussion of the CIA's inability to stop leaks of information regarding their friends in the Arab/Muslim world and the related LA Times story cited by Zarqawi, see Aaron Weisburd's post here...
