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.

I'll bet Helen Thomas is going to look like she sucked a lemon when she hears this.

How could you tell. She ALWAYS looks like that.

BBC News -

Zarqawi dead, say Iraqi reports

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki is about to announce that militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed, Iraqi state television reports.

The leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq is considered the figurehead of the Sunni insurgency.

Al-Qaeda has been blamed for scores of bombings that have killed hundreds of Shias and US forces in Iraq.

The Jordanian-born fugitive appeared in a video recording earlier this year, reproaching the US for its "arrogance".

[El Gato]

If he is dead, the Dems will say Zarqawi is not important and we just made his followers madder.

MSNBC disembodied voice already saying that.

[Rte66]

Then it must be *true* - LOL!

[bonfire]

" Will have news in Iraq very soon"

Better get Shep on a plane quick!

[StJacques]

ok, just heard an update with details.

Apparently Zarqawi was in a small town just outside of Baghdad on the way to Baqubah with his "spiritual advisor." U.S. forces hit the house in which seven people were present, including two women, with rockets fired from helicopters. According to the report not everyone was killed and Zarqawi was still alive when handed over to Iraqi forces, but he died in their custody.

This story implies that they have a body.
