U.S.- Possible letter to al-Zarqawi cites low morale

New Iraqi government sworn in, but Cabinet vacancies remain
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military said Tuesday it has seized a letter from Iraqi insurgents believed to be intended for Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi complaining about low morale among followers and weakening support for the insurgency.
The authenticity of the letter which the military said American troops found Thursday in a raid in Baghdad could not be independently verified.The letter which never refers to al-Zarqawi by name is written to Sheik Abu Ahmad, a name not known to be used by the militant leader or his followers. But supporters often call al-Zarqawi the Sheik or Sheik Abu Musab in letters and on Web sites.
