Iraq PM says al-Zarqawi killed yesterday

It doesn't sound like they have proven it yet with DNA testing but they sound pretty sure that it was him. I suppose in the coming months that we will find out if he was behind all of the troubles or just a piece of the big puzzle. He's been demonized (clearly he was a bad guy) as the central figure in the problems over there so it will be interesting to see the actual impact of his death.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed Wednesday evening along with seven aides.
