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.

We need to revel in The Frustration Of The Trolls, Smogger! I'm loving it!
The big news coming out of the press conference which just concluded is that we found a TREASURE TROVE of information.
Yippee. Today just keeps getting better and better.
F-16's eh? I'd heard (from neighbor) it was a drone.
Cool beans!
Yep, this one's a keeper................
You suppose the Dims are having strategy sessions right now on how to minimize this and how to turn this into a loss? Probably push polling words right now.
Pray for W and Our Troops
High-fives to Ev and you today Mozie.
Time for the terrorists to change their codes again. Hopefully they won't be too quick about it.
They're probably planning the state funeral, and trying to decide whether to shoot for the Capitol Rotunda...
Wonderful news!! I give praise and thanks to God!!
While we sleep our troops get the job done.
God Bless Them!!
Rommel in his own way was an honorable man. he was the German's Patton, a warrior, not a terrorist. Zarqawi was a raw murderer and with two 500 pound bombs he is very, very dead... The US Air Force is very effective.
Rumsfeld is going through all the steps Iraqis have taken to their freedom and how the terrorists have failed.
With the announced nominations of the new government, their government is complete and we look forward to working with them.
Given the nature of terrorist networks, the death of Zarqawi will not mean the end of all violence in that country. But let there be no doubt that this is a significant victory in the battle against terrorism. He was an integral part of the WOT. It's important to congratulate the new Prime Minister and Casey and his troops.
"Has Yaaawn Kerry or Turda congratulated our troops yet??
Pray for W and Our Air Force"
Are you kidding? That goes against "cut and run" philosophy. I think Turda is preparing a speech about the murder of Zar(puke up a lung) or whatever his name was. Did you know other people died too? And he didn't get a trial! OMG, those bad U.S. troops!
I have a son at the U.S. Air Force Academy, so I do the latter every day!
Great news. But he'll be replaced. And more of the same old, same old.
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.
Its going to be a good day the World over. When a piece of evil is eliminated, we all breathe easier. I hope Zarqawi likes the heat..
Too bad Stauffenberg couldn't have called in an air strike with two 500 pound bombs.
Amen to that. It's Miller time.
