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.

LOL!
How many Number Two guys does Zarqawi have?
Oh, wait...I get it.
Why does everytime we kill one of these guys..... the thread turns into a joke!
Check out the link in post #52....
Similar to the number of leaders of Hammas. If you keep killing the bad guys, then someone is promoted to take their place. Israel can killed the head of some group, I think Hammas, so frequently last year, the head of the group would not allow himself to be identified.
There will always be a number 1 or number 2 or number 3 man in Iraq until the terriorist give up as they will eventually. But until then we need to keep rounding up/killing these trouble makers.
D'OH! First time I heard this news they had reported Zarqawi had been killed. I knew that was too good to be true. Maybe next time.
When you have a "No. 2" man...you really have aides that will take care of ANYTHING.
Is it Monday already?
Agreed.
Whether or not this aide is replaced soon, it still warmed my heart to hear of his demise. Keep em coming!

When houses are falling from the sky, you bet it's dangerous.
well, that's what happens when the political team at the white house sends the president out to make 50 speeches on SS reform - while the MSM is busy taking 30 points off of support for the iraq war, day after day.
Let it go. It's working. :-)
Sad, isn't it -
I think SS was more the President's baby then Rove's. But, you are correct that SS was a a major mistake.
It's a joke a minute.
I'm sick of this site.
