Al Qaeda's website is reporting that Zarqawi is injured and asks for prayers for his recovery. It's interesting that al Qaeda would report such an event, since it shows that things really aren't going well for their Iraqi operations leader, unless it is meant as a misdirection play.
I'm hoping that he is recovered by the US Military - preferably a Marine detachment or a bunch of Army grunts who will do unto him that which was done to Saddam Hussein- namely capture him and show him to be nothing but a thug and mass murderer.

Of course, if Zarqawi doesn't want to go quietly, we can oblige him too.
Instapundit seems to think that praying for Zarqawi to have gas gangrene is acceptable. If the US catches him, it is unlikely that Zarqawi will suffer such effects unless his situation is far worse than the reports let on. The US will provide him with medical care, and will be treated for his injuries, which is more than can be said for the hundreds of Iraqis killed at Zarqawi's behest and who had no chance at survival of the numerous bombings, shootings, etc., that Zarqawi engineered.
UPDATE 2:25PM EDT 5/24/2005:
Athena has more at Terrorism Unveiled. She seems to think the story has legs, but wonders whether this is part of a misinformation campaign.
