Congratulations to all....and the US saves $25 Million US General: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s body identified by fingerprints, facial recognition and scars. His terrorist group still poses a threat June 8, 2006, 1:02 PM (GMT+02:00) DEBKAfile discloses: Zarqawi’s death leaves Wariya Arbili as the most senior al Qaeda player in Iraq. He is chief of al Qaeda’s second largest affiliate in Iraq, Ansar al-Sunna, an organization which controls large tracts of the country - especially in parts of Kurdistan - with a foothold in Kirkuk and Mosul as well as Tal Afar to the north and sections of the Sunni triangle. DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources reveal that a quarrel which flared recently between Arbili and Zarqawi led to Osama bin Laden naming a new worldwide operations chief with authority over both. He is an Iraqi from the north, known only by his nom de guerre, Abdulhadi al-Iraqi, and he replaces Abu Farj al-Libi who was captured by Pakistani forces. Bin Laden’s choice of an indigenous Iraqi ops chief pointed to the high importance the al Qaeda leader attaches to the Iraq warfront for the future of his organization. Abdulhadi now faces the urgent task of bringing order to al Qaeda’s ranks, which are packed with foreign adherents, and Iraqi affiliates to avert a bloody power struggle among commanders.
If Wariya Arbili is now the senior al Qaeda in Iraq, AND he truly does have significant influence among the Kurds in northern Iraq, the situation just got more complicated. The Turks have their own Kurdish minority that is mildly rebellious. They would fight, literally, against the creation of a Kurdish state, and having al Qaeda as a major player there is going to make the Turks - always under the threat of a military takeover - jumpy.
I also heard that seven of Zarqawi associates were killed along with him...MORE good news that these islamic animals are killed. They were having a high level islamic animal meeting when two 500 lb. bombs were dropped on him! BOOM! It sure brought a smile to my face this morning. I am also glad that he was KILLED instead of captured and tried. Could you have imagined the trial? All these islamic animals would have been doing is quoting the koran and justifying their actions for allah! Great job US military forces...aim straight, shoot first, and ask questions later with these animals! Is it the end of islamic terrorism? Absolutely not! It could be a turning point, but make no mistake...there are millions of muslims willing to kill themselves and us infidels for their beloved allah. After all...It is in the koran, that is all they know and do! For the people that support islamic animals and their terrorist religion, Zarqawi was the one executing the Nick Berg beheading. Thank God we now can use his name in PAST TENSE :
Here's the "spin" of "spins"... CAIRO, Egypt: Al-Qaida in Iraq confirmed the death of its leader, Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, and vowed it will continue its "holy war" in a statement posted on the Web on Thursday. "We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi," said the statement, signed by "Abu Abdel- Rahman al-Iraqi," identified as the deputy "emir" or leader of al- Qaida in Iraq. "The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme," it said.
Dead terrorists, now that is satisfaction. I almost cheered as much as the morning I saw Hussein on the TV
I find it difficult to rejoice in the death of anyone. In this case, I shall make an exception. Trouble is, he died too quickly. I hope the intelligence information gathered at the "safe house" leads to further acquisitons and liquidations.
Not after the Devil makes him bend over they wont De Orc :thumb: Ps wonder if he will squeal like a pig LOL
Well he didn't die too quickly, he was apparently pulled alive from the rubble and tried to escape Iraqi forces by squirming off the gurney when U.S. forces showed up. He said something intelligible then died when the U.S> reached him. (I'm hoping he said "how the hell did they get me. I was supposed to win ack")
