Zarqawi dead

At last:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- 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 safe house, 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.

The AP doesn't mention how he was supposed to have been one-legged or how we didn't kill him before the war because it would have undermined the bogus Saddam/al-Qaida justification, but nevertheless, the world has several fewer maniacs at large now.
