al-Qaida in Iraq Vows to Continue Holy War
2006-06-08
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.

#2  May Zarq enjoy his 72 grapes. TO article mentions that the translation of virgins is a little muddy and may just be "white raisins" - a boon of sweet fruit in an arid deser. Zarq's gonna pissed - heaven is a handful of raisins?

The tumescent teens might want to reconsider.

So, maybe, we'll try your families next.
