Zarqawi legacy

The US and UK have hailed news that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, has died in a US air strike. Zarqawi died when US planes dropped two 500lb (230kg) bombs on a site near the city of Baquba. He was identified by fingerprints, tattoos and scars. The US struck after receiving specific tip-offs from within Zarqawi's organization, officials said. US President George W Bush described the news as a severe blow to al-Qaeda and "justice" for Zarqawi. British PM Tony Blair described it as "very good news", but both leaders said Zarqawi's death would not end violence. Read full article

President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel exchange handshakes Tuesday, May 23, 2006, at the end of a joint press availability in the East Room of the White House. White House photo by Eric Draper.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you. Mr. Prime Minister, welcome. I'm particularly pleased to welcome Mrs. Olmert to the White House, as well. Thanks for coming. The Prime Minister and I have known each other since 1998, when he was the mayor of Jerusalem, and I was the governor of Texas. And I remember you greeting me in your office there, and you probably thought you were going to be the Prime Minister -- I wasn't sure if I was going to be the President. (Laughter.) We've just had a really productive meeting. We reaffirmed the deep and abiding ties between Israel and the United States. Full article
