Zarqawi reported killed in Baghdad air raid.

He was probably best to be left alive - he made a number of big mistakes recently and now that he is dead (if he is dead) he will just be pronounced martyr and his buddies will just pronounce him martyr for the cause.

So, I guess, they accidentally killed him.

Most likely - they were just bombing all houses where reportely he or anyone else were, scores of houses were blown up in the last few years and finally they got him, not a suprise really, especially given how stupidly he acted recently.

You reckon the only reason they got him was cause they were shooting in a straight line with a howitzer?

and they were aiming at something else? Almost a certainty there...

Alf, whatever happened about that Iranian Euro oil bourse that was going to bring about the end of the world a couple of months ago?

Well if you bothered to stay up with the play you would know that the date was moved from 17 March 2006 through to sometime in 2008 a few months ago

At least he'll have his 72 raisins to look forward to now

More like the opposite. The damn thing probably went off by mistake.

It was certainly a smart bomb homing onto exact house.

Interesting is that coalition seems to have preference to have him dead rather than alive - it would have been much better if he was judged in fair trial and then left to rot until end of his life: he would not have become martyr this way.

Thats a fair point, and of course they could have gained intelligence into his operations by capturing him and avoiding his martyrdom etc ... but then again how do we know that Z is in fact dead ?

DNA testing or was his body left intact by the bombing ?

Seems to have come on the back of so much bad news from Iraq , especially the Marines massacre of civilians which shocked even the die hard supporters of the War in the US ... is this report what is seems ?
