Scratch One Terrorist!

And a very important one, the #3 Al Qaeda leader and the Tormentor of Free Iraq, Abu Musab al Zarqawi :

Two U.S. Air Force F-16 fighters attacked a safe house near the town of Baqubah yesterday, killing Zarqawi, his spiritual adviser, Sheik Abdul Rahman and four other persons, Caldwell said. The fighters dropped two 500-pound bombs on the building. Zarqawi was dead when Iraqi police and U.S. military forces arrived on the scene, he said.

The successful operation "was the product of painstaking intelligence-gathering from local sources and within Zarqawi's network," Caldwell said.

This, of course, its not the end, but I think the beginning of the end and the turn of the tide.
