Al-Qaida in Iraq confirmed the death of its leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and vowed it will continue its 'holy war' in a statement posted on the Web on Thursday.
'We want to give you the joyous news of the martyrdom of the mujahed sheik Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,' said the statement, signed by 'Abu Abdel-Rahman al-Iraqi,' identified as the deputy 'emir' or leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. | I'm pretty happy about it myself |
'The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme,' it said. | So the more of you we kill, the happier you're gonna be? Say, we do have a lot in common. |
