The No. 2 al Qaeda leader in Iraq was killed Sunday night, U.S. officials say. Abu Azzam, reportedly the deputy to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, was shot during a house rain in Baghdad, according to Pentagon officials.
As the aide to Zarqawi, Azzam was reportedly in control of financing foreign fighters coming into Iraq, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.
According to Pentagon officials coalition troops raided the house in response to a tip. When Azzam opened fire, these officials say, he was killed with troops' return fire.

Another jihadi bites the dust. The location of Z-man's honchos is becoming harder and harder to keept secret.

Misprint. They meant RAID. DUH. But I can see why Al Qaeda would view it as a "Black Rain." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You got that. I think even the NoSuchAgency is having a hard time with all the aides, lieutenants, field commanders, financial assistants, logistic chiefs, and grand poohbahs.

LOL!! Another one?
I especially like this tidbit down at the bottom.
The Senate would give President Bush $50 billion more for war in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a $440 billion defense spending measure a panel approved Monday. Reflecting a post-Hurricane Katrina debate about the role of the military in domestic affairs, the bill includes the defense appropriations subcommittee's opinion on when the military should get involved in natural disasters.
What the heck's another $50 billion? What's that make the amount spent now? This is going to be the most expensive democracy ever established in the history of the world. And a generation from now I doubt there will be anything to show for it
