US cheered, al-Qaida grieved!Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (October 20, 1966 – June 7, 2006) was a Jordanian Salafi muslim terrorist, and the self-proclaimed leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. One or more individuals identifying themselves as Zarqawi took responsibility, on several audiotapes, for numerous acts of violence in Iraq, including the killing of civilians and the taking of hostages. He was also allegedly responsible for many other acts of violence, including the beheading of hostages in Iraq.His death is sure to reduce the risks of US Army in Iraq being attacked by Islamist militants.On June 08, 2006, the Iraqi Prime Minister and the U.S. Military confirmed the death of Al-Zarqawi in a joint U.S.-Iraqi raid 3 km north of Baqubah, north of Baghdad.
