[history]
At least one Arab television media outlet reported that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of the al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed in Iraq on Sunday afternoon when eight terrorists blew themselves up in the in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
The unconfirmed report claimed that the explosions occurred after coalition forces surrounded the house in which al-Zarqawi was hiding.
WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are looking into whether al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a gunfight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, but a White House spokesman said that was "highly unlikely."

8 charred bodies means they didn't use their vests after all, maybe the Marines hosed them over with flamethrowers like on Saipan and Iwo Jima.

It's highly likely that the Al Qaeda wing of the Democrat party are likely to behead themselves in mourning over the likely suicide of Zarqawi.

"Its not wrong to pray that God brings justice on a mass murderer."
Of course one can "pray" anyway they want. That being said, God Justice clearly is not on this earth. If it were, there would not be so much injustice out there... There's absolutely no indication that God has been "smiting the bad guys" for the last several thousand years anyway. Do you think he would have waited this long to take care of this raghead creep if he were inclined to intervene?
I'm not against praying. But if you are going to invoke prayer, perhaps asking God to change the hearts of the raghead evildoers would be more appropriate. JMHO
