Zarqawi Aide Killed During U.S. Air Strike

Scratch one more Islamist bastard.

Coalition forces launched precision strikes on a safe house in Fallujah early this morning, killing an associate of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s terrorist organization, military officials in Baghdad reported today.

Multiple sources confirmed that a “known associate” of the Zarqawi network was present at the time of the strike.

The strike, which happened at around 3 a.m. in the northwest section of the city, is one of a string of recent strikes and raids targeting the Zarqawi organization that have severely degraded the terrorist leader’s ability to conduct attacks and have effectively reduced his influence.

Like I said, al-Zarqawi’s noose keeps getting tighter.
