It's on ABC Late Night News Right Now
ABC News Update:
BAGHDAD, Iraq Jun 8, 2006 (AP)— Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida-linked militant who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings, kidnappings and hostage beheadings in Iraq, has been killed in a U.S. air raid north of Baghdad, Iraq's prime minister said Thursday.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed Wednesday evening along with seven aides.

Another bombing in Baghdad! 13 dead.
Boetcher tries to pass it off as reaction to Z-bum's death.
Imus sounds snippy this morning; maybe he's upset because he's not going to get to talk about Kaplan!
Even better is that the Iraqis themselves are sick of his and his buddies insane bs.
I was wondering if the Marine air wing did the strike. Any news on that?
Who is Zarqawi's "spiritual leader?"
MSNBC is looney!!!! But thanks for the heads up.
Way to go Imus, for straightening out temper tantrum Mike Tiebee(sp) when he tried to tie the carbomb that happened today as revenge for the death of Zarqawi. He was caught in a big one!!
Imus just said "Zarqawi is no longer on the planet!" perfect phrase there!
This is a magnificent day! My mood is so good I've got to do something with it. Been glued to the boob tube ever since NBC broke the news in the middle of the night (about 2pm central time). Actually, saw it on MSNBC. Kept flipping over to CNN and FOX to see if they had the news, and they didn't for almost a half hour. Was amazed at that. How could they not know that MSNBC was breaking it and talking about it for 1/2 hour before they got their act together and figured it out. I thought the stations all monitored each other for just this kind of thing. But no, FOX was the last to report it of the three, MSNBC, CNN, and FOX. Nice going FOX. Well,
I've got to go to sleep or I'll wake up at dinnertime. I'll dream well now, seeing drones diving down on Zarqawi's safe house. What a sweet dream it will be. Two down (Saddam and Zarqawi), two to go, Osama and Zawahiri, and one extra if you count Omar, the one-eyed cleric. Will get them all, big and small. Nice going and a big cheer to Special Operations, the Brits, the Jordanians, and the Iraqi soldiers. They all put it together and pulled off a big coup. Bravo to all.
And if their recent exploits have been any indicator, completely screw it up and fail the mission. And that will be the end of AQ as an effective international force.
The greatest news to wake up for :)
"Thar" is not in the Scrabble dictionary.
A travesty.
Stay away from the "safe" house.......
He certainly did call Boetcher on it.
Shaitan.
Thanks, I have saved that picture and will print it out and put it on the inside of my car window.
I wonder if the woman doing the tongue thing on 9/11 is doing the same thing now? I am gloating today.
The isolation strategy does work. :D
Brian on F&F just was commenting on an email they received wondering when the NYT will report that there were innocents killed in the house with Z.
I love our Rumsfled. Great picture :)
And he's dead, too?
