A U.S. soldier at a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq, takes down an older image, to display the latest image purporting to show the body of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida-linked militant who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings, kidnappings and hostage beheadings in Iraq, who was killed Wednesday in a U.S. airstrike, Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced Thursday, June 8, 2006.
ASSociated Press: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi killed in air raid
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq who waged a bloody campaign of beheadings and suicide bombings, was killed when U.S. warplanes dropped 500-pound bombs on his isolated safehouse, officials said Thursday. His death was a long-sought victory in the war in Iraq.
Al-Zarqawi and several aides, including spiritual adviser Sheik Abdul Rahman, were killed Wednesday evening in a remote area 30 miles from Baghdad in the volatile province of Diyala, just east of the provincial capital of Baqouba, officials said.
“Al-Zarqawi was eliminated,” Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said.
Well done! This is HUGE and POSITIVE.
A SEVERE blow to Al-Qaeda.
This is probably the turning point in the Iraq War.

we can breathe a whole lot easier
now that Zarqawi’s gone
we can cautiously celebrate
now that Zarqawi’s gone
now that Zarqawi’s gone
we’ve got a reason for a brand new song
no, it ain’t over
but we’re feelin’ mighty strong
now that Zarqawi’s gone
when I heard it on
the evening news
I told myself
This must be wrong
But when I saw
The photographs
Upon the screen
I soon became convinced
Zarqawi’s gone
Now I know they’re gonna say
This doesn’t matter
‘cause we opened up a hornet’s nest
you know
yeah, some will say
it doesn’t matter
but it does to me
we’ve crushed the head of a serpent–
a serpent in his sleep
now that Zarqawi’s gone
we’ve got a reason for a brand new song
no, it ain’t over
but we’re feelin’ mighty strong
now that Zarqawi’s gone
