Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Dead!
It pays to not to be able to sleep sometimes. I was up watching Conan when the news (MSNBC) cut in with a special report. The most wanted terrorist is now dead. Killed overnight in a US special forces attack. A predator drone was used to track him according to the news report.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq "during the American bombing there," according to a statement circulated in Fallujah this week and signed by the "Leadership of the Allahu Akbar Mujahedeen." He was apparently in a safe house that was bombed. The US forces for a tip he was there.
The statement did not say when al-Zarqawi was supposedly killed, but U.S. jets bombed strongholds of the extremist Ansar al-Islam in the north last April as Saddam Hussein's regime was collapsing.
It said al-Zarqawi was unable to escape the bombing because of his artificial leg.
