Al-Zarqawi death: Moment of satisfaction for US troops

News of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s death trickled in to the US Marines camp outside the battle-scarred city of Fallujah today, bringing the troops a vague sense of satisfaction.

Some Marines scoffed at the appearance of the Jordanian-born terrorist in a video released in April. They suggested the leader’s demise was the product of his own vanity when he showed his face to the world.
