Jay at Stop the ACLU was the first one to send me an email. Gribbit has the story here:
Iraqi Prime Minister Al Maliki and General Casey have announced that it is official that Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi has been killed in a US Air raid. He has been positively identified by finger prints. Also killed in the raid were 7 of his henchmen.
He also has this excerpt from a Fox News report:
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed along with seven aides Wednesday evening in a house 30 miles northeast of Baghdad in the volatile province of Diyala.
“Today, al-Zarqawi was eliminated,†al-Maliki told a news conference, drawing loud applause from reporters as he was flanked by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq.
Al-Maliki said the air strike was the result of intelligence reports provided to Iraqi security forces by residents in the area, and U.S. forces acted on the information.
“Those who disrupt the course of life, like Al-Zarqawi, will have a tragic end,†he said.
Tony Snow is giving a press briefing right now. The press stop themselves from continuing to ask “when will troop levels draw dawn?” “does this mean troop levels will draw down?”.
This was very good news to wake up to this morning.
**Update**
Iraq the Model had this to say:
CONGRATULATIONS TO IRAQ, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHOLE WORLD ON THIS VICTORY.
Congratulations to Omar and all Iraqis on this day.

My friend at Treasure of Baghdad had this to say:
Today is a great day in Iraq. The most brutal criminal and terrorist in Iraq is killed. It’s been a long time since we haven’t heard good news. But today’s news along with the PM’s success in completing the formation of his government made me so happy and made most Iraqis unbelievably happy.
I will talk about how I felt when I received the news in the coming post as I have to finish working on the news I reported.
Congratulations to all the Iraqi people and to all those who suffered from the Zarqawi terrorism…
Congratulations my friend. I hope this is a step toward a better future for you, your loved ones and your country.
