Confirmed: al-Zarqawi was killed...

I'm still only seeing it on MSNBC and that's the same website that claims that rocks are the oldest lifeforms.

CNN BANNER CONFIRMS

ZARQAWI PWNED

 

[judasmachine]

on CNN they are reporting it as unclear, and they are waiting on the Iraqi PM to speak. I guess they are playing it patiently.

 

[astrocase]

Ok, they've just retracted the story. They got his stunt double.

cnn.com now has a breaking news banner but no story.

Kudos to US military! :thumbsup:

Great news if true (though Arab sources for this kind of thing should always be taken with a grain of salt). Zarqawi is/was a piece of filth deserving of a painful and undignified end.

What happened to instantaneous news?

My source is the Iraqi Information Minister. Apparently coalition troops are not in Baghdad either.

Reuters news flash. Text

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's prime minister will announce the death of al Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, state television reported on Thursday.

It gave no details but Nuri al-Maliki was due to hold a news conference with the top U.S. commander in Iraq General George Casey shortly.

US is still awaiting confirmation but it sounds legit.

I'm more interested in seeing who will do the bitching and moaning. I just hope it moves us one more step to getting out.
