Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a US air raid Wednesday evening on his safe house. The body was identified by tattoos, fingerprints and dental records after being hammered by 500 pounds bombs.While leaders nationwide call the killing a massive blow to the insurgency in Iraq, many in the troubled country are in mourning, causing perhaps a larger problem for US soldiers. Al Qaeda in Iraq leaders are calling for the celebration of al-Zarqawi's life as a martyr, meaning that teenagers will being blowing themselves up in his name across the country, as has already begun.
But at least the dude is dead. He deserved to lose his life, especially after all the beheadings and kidnappings he was part of.
