DETAILS
Ok I have been listening to the news coverage on Zarqawi's death, and I want to pass along exactly what took place to kill the SOB. Evidentally we had special forces in the area following on of Zarqawi's most trusted aides. After we saw this aide go into a safe house in a town just north of Baghdad, the forces pretty much knew that Zarqawi was going to be there, so the special forces relayed the into to central command who ordered two F-16's to go and take them out.
The planes dropped a single 500lb bomb on the house, then decided to drop another one to make sure the target was eliminate. Once the house was completely destroyed, Iraqi forces and police were the first to arrive at the scene, and took out the bodies of six people. Zarqawi was taken by US forces and positively identified by physical characteristics and also a finger print analysis. The military will be doing a DNA test on him, with the results expected withing the next 24 hours. Security forces found lots of Intel in the house where Zarqawi was killed, and 17 subsequent raids and military operations have been conducted around Baghdad because of it, and the General who spoke of this news said we have found a 'treasure trove' of important information.
Thats that...more to come soon.
