Iraqi PM: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi Killed

By PATRICK QUINN

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.

Yeah, this is a re-run. A good re-run!

"Info from Zarqawi's own network."

Another briefing in 2.5 hours. Video of attack. Video of Z's body.

God bless our resolute Pres. Bush .. and our incredibly brave troops

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks - watching it. Are all the car bombings etc they are showing live or old footage?

[StJacques]

". . . I work in Baghdad and am seeing all of this. . . ."

I didn't know that Allegra. Well, may I offer you the StJacques "Most Special Guest" award for the thread?

Whatever you're doing, we're proud of you Allegra.

[Canedawg]

Good news!

Stay safe

[nopardons]

AMEN

[Sunsong]

It's about damn time we had some good news, eh?

Amen. And we so deserve it, too :-)

[Rte66]

Oh, I bet Lionel Richie is getting cranked up in Baghdad about now.

"All night long ... all night ..."

[jveritas]

Amen, I am extremely happy. I got a call at 3:40 AM EST from my brother and he told me about this greatest news.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Allegra works for a contractor in Baghdad and she probably won't have any video.

Allegra, are you able to take any still pictures?

Either something really big is going on here in my small town or else the police, ambulance and fire are celebrating because I heard them go roaring with sirens down my street. All of the dogs are barking their fool heads off!

Zarqawi is dead! Hope he's enjoying his puckered grapes!

[Pajamajan]

Life is Goood, very, very, good.

Best news, we've had in a LONG time.

[Allegra]

Do you think this will make a difference, Allegra?

We were just discussing this. Tnis will probably be demoralizing for al-Qaeda.

We don't really know what will happen, but we are guessing that there might be a brief retaliatory spike in violence, but perhaps after that, they'll either be in "regrouping" mode or maybe they'll finally realize they're not going to GET Iraq.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I understand he's huge in the Middle East.

[bonfire]

Birds just woke up here.

This has to be a huge blow for New Balance shoes. I mean, who's going to buy them now?

[jveritas]

The stupid liberal reporter on Foxnews. She is pathetic.

Nice! :-)
