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.

"Those who disrupt the course of life, like al-Zarqawi, will have a tragic end," the Iraqi prime minister said. He warned those who would follow the militant's lead that "whenever there is a new al-Zarqawi, we will kill him."

"This is a message for all those who embrace violence, killing and destruction to stop and to (retreat) before it's too late," he said. "It is an open battle with all those who incite sectarianism."

Pity he wasn't captured alive but he's met his maker now.

Excellent news for the WOT. God Bless America.

Beheaded Berg's father is attacking Bush and that seems to be the media's big story rather than Zarqawi's death. Go figure.

He was apparently betrayed by a follower and two F-16's were rerouted from another mission to attack the safe-house where Zarqawi was reportedly hiding. Good that we didn't waste time.

Congratulations on being the first to report this on Free Republic.com! I'm sure there are many of us that vied over the years to be the first to post the big scoop on a dead or captured Zarqawi!

Were you one of those who's been ever vigilant for any hint of his wounding, capture or sudden demise anywhere in any media, any news source, any web page on the world wide web...obviously yes and you've shown the rest of us that a real journalist never sleeps! Congrats again!

He should get some sort of reward for breaking this story.
Maybe a Howard Dean voodoo doll or something.

Yet somehow he keeps voting Democrat...

Democrats demand that the living-impaired be allowed to exercise their right to vote.

Probably thrilled at first to finally meet Mohammad in person. Disappointed to discover that there are no 72 virgins awaiting him,that there are hotter places than the middle east in July, and dumbfounded upon learning that this ain't heaven.

Thanks for the link.

Al Murthawi is in a corner. Amazingly, it's a bad day for liberals plus it's taken away from their Marine-bashing effort.
