Iraqi PM confirms Zarqawi death
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has announced that militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed.The Jordanian-born leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq is considered the figurehead of the Sunni insurgency. Reports say he was killed in an air raid near Baghdad.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq has been blamed for scores of bombings that have killed hundreds of Shias and US forces.
Zarqawi appeared in a video earlier this year, in which he reproached the US for its "arrogance and insolence".
The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says that if the reports are proved to be true it will be seen as a very significant moment in the fight against the insurgency, especially as it comes early in the life of Mr Maliki's government.

Kel, this is not a criticism first off, but I cannot stand that woman and think that any air time is too much air time. It's unbelievable, in a way any way, that she gets any..just goes to show that the 'blondesaremorefun' men can't help themselves...of course, not meaning to insult any other intelligent blond woman !

Ingrid, I agree that any comment on Coulter is too much comment. As I pointed out I have previously resisted any comment at all on her but I thought today's remarks were so outrageous that they deserved a response.
By the way why are we discussing this in an article related to Zarqawi's death?
