In a tabulation of Al Qaeda personnel entered at his weblog last November, freeper Angelus Errare says of Zarqawi (the guy who featured in Powell's address the other day) that he was Al Qaeda's "Southeast Asian Operations Chief", before becoming the current global operations chief. I don't know his source for this.

The source for the Southeast Asian listing for Zarqawi were compiled from an article in the Pakistani newspaper Dawn and I can try to find the appropriate URL if you link.

He is also listed in Jordanian court documents the Levant/Jordanian operations chief. I opted for the former because it became clear that in order to ascend to his current position, Zarqawi had to be a great deal higher than a regional commander in order to assume the position of global operations chief. If there is an alternative listing somewhere other than him being just a regional commander, I'll happily input it into my blog.
