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.

Iraqis are still walking up to us Americans and thanking us with big smiles on their faces. Every time I walk outside to go somewhere on the compound, at least one Iraqi comes up and says something about it. One said "We love our strong American friends."

Allegra, I went looking for your comments when I woke up to this wonderful news. I'm as happy as the day Saddam was captured. Watch your back, FRiend.

Any Dems made a statement yet, acknowledging the good news and praising our troops...?

No, but Arliss Spector has written an 18 page letter complaining about not being informed of the strike ahead of time.

From the CounterTerrorism Blog:

al Jazeera's commentators: "Zarqawi's death won't stop al Qaida"

**********************************************

Reacting to the killing of Abu Mus'ab al Zarqawi in Iraq, pro-Jihadi commentators on al Jazeera rushed to assert that the "death of Zarqawi won't weaken al Qaida but will actually unify the organization." Abdelbari Atwan, the editor of al Quds al Arabi accused Jordanian and US intelligence of penetrating the inner circles of Zarqawi and were successful in getting to him." He added that the killing of Zarqawi was coordinated with the appointment of the ministers of defense and interior in Baghdad.

Projecting further terror, Atwan said the "Jihadists will increase their operations in Iraq. For the more the organization is repressed the more it will produce Jihadists." He stated that in any event, Zarqawi was isolated inside the organization and restrained to military operations." Other commentators also stated that the near future will show that al Qaida is a movement not a group of supporters to one man.

But Iraqi leaders, including the speaker of the Kurdish Parliament, responded on al Jazeera that "the Iraqi people has memorized the names of all those who were involved in Terror against civilians, and will continue the struggle"

(More analysis later)
