The No. 2 al Qaeda leader in Iraq was killed Sunday night, U.S. officials say. Abu Azzam, reportedly the deputy to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, was shot during a house rain in Baghdad, according to Pentagon officials.
As the aide to Zarqawi, Azzam was reportedly in control of financing foreign fighters coming into Iraq, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.
According to Pentagon officials coalition troops raided the house in response to a tip. When Azzam opened fire, these officials say, he was killed with troops' return fire.

I'm convinced that Zarqawi has more "top aides" than any other political figure in history. This must be around the 247th "top aide" that's been reported killed.

Ok... so that is number 738 he has had to replace. BFD. Now give us Al Zarqawi himself and we'll be impressed.

Are you sure he wasn't the #3 guy? I'll take any number of terrorists meeting up with the same fate.

What effect this will have on the insurgency remains to be seen. In the past, key Zarqawi lieutenants have been killed or captured without any decrease in the number of suicide bombings. Oops - spoke to soon.
To: jmc1969
(yawn). yeah, right.
They always make these announcements. "Zarqawi's top aide!", "his #2!", "his driver", "his favorite pig and sex partner". Tell the pentagon to tell us when he's really dead and I'll listen.

He's got more aides than a U.S. Senator. I'd also say the top rag head's odds of getting it in the neck are getting better and better by the day.
