NBC News is reporting that F-16s dropped two precision-guided bombs on the residence of "Chemical" Ali just south of Basra. The Pentagon is telling them that they believe Ali was in his home at the time and was killed during the strike. They caution that they need to have confirmation on the ground to be sure, but it sounds like a good hit!

I hope they got his wife and kids too.

Yeah, I just saw that report too. It would be nice if he'd had time to realize the missles were coming to take him to hell, but still, excellent news!

Dang. I had such dark, delicious thoughts of throwing Chemical Ali's carcas to the Kurds. :)
On another, but somewhat related note, I'll be really happy when it is confirmed that we have hit Tariq Aziz and that smarmy Minister of Information. Now, that's a reason to throw a party...

Must have been two of the dread "pencil bombs"... poor Ali.

Ali needs a new nickname. How 'bout Combustible Ali.
To: SHKMAN1212
Almost as good as capturing him alive and then turning him over to the Kurds -- but if true, I'll take it.

Actually, I saw it as the lead story on the NBC Evening News. Couldn't figure out why I hadn't seen it here on FR yet; didn't know the story was just breaking.
