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.

BBC will probably do a bio of the scumbag including photos from his childhood, etc. Anything to sympathize with the enemy.

[FreedomPoster]

Something like that rings a bell, but I don't remember the detail.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I hope Berg is VERY PROMINENT on the media today...and maybe throw in Mother Sheehan for good measure. Let the loonies loose!

Exactly, and I'm sure the loonies will not need much prompting.

[Sacajaweau]

Someone just mentioned Jordan...Had forgot about that. Since they said it was someone in Zarqawi's own camp that gave him up....I'd guess it was a Jordanian.

I have never gotten used to the humidity here in Tenn.

I don't know what is worse, being wet all of the time or having a mouth full of sand . Used to live in West Texas/Eastern New Mexico.

Believe it or not, I freeze all summer. Broken thermostat - it's either on "high" or "off." And I don't pay for it, so I just wear jeans instead of shorts!

I had 2 very bad summers of sweat dripping off my nose onto the puter when I couldn't afford to run the A/C under 80 - and I'm one of those inherently "hot" people. Miserable.

I *earned* these two freezing summers, anyway.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Hell, if they would close the borders.....

sorry could not resist it after your post :-)

[Miss Marple]

Yes, you did! Sorry you slept through it. If it's any consolation, so did I. I didn't find out until I turned on the TV this morning!

[VanDeKoik]

I wonder if the DNC is going to call for a day of mourning.

[RobFromGa]

And I'm not trying to start a fight, as you appear to be.

[mathluv]

In about 20 minutes W will be on to 'kinda' repeat what Blair has already said.

Dan Senor on F&F. Fox showing rubble left of 'safe house'.

Good Morning!

What wonderful news!

Our Guys and Gals are GREAT!!!

[Coldwater Creek]

YES!!!!!

God answers prayer in strange ways.

[newnhdad]

How long will it take for the looney nutbags to start the conspiracy theories??
Who will be the first media figure to state that he was killed a while ago but was placed there to manipulate the news?

[fanfan]

LOL!

This terrorist is dead!

[floriduh voter]

That building they hit is really gone. This is good for the good guys.

[Fresh Wind]

I wonder if the DNC is going to call for a day of mourning.

I don't know about mourning, but they are sure to point out that we still haven't gotten Bin Laden, and he's the only one who matters.

You don't know me, do you?

I'm the one who on rare occasions will politely point out a potential faux pas.

Most of the time I chat with my 300 friends here and do care packages for the troops with them.

I never pee in my cereal, which is why I am sure you don't know me.
