US Airstrike kills Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

Unedited footage of the US airstrike that killed al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born terrorist responsible for some of the deadliest attacks on Iraqi civilians, was killed in an airstrike Wednesday after a three-year manhunt. He was found after a tip from a source inside al-Qaeda in Iraq led to Sheik Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi, Zarqawi's spiritual adviser. Rahman, in turn, led U.S. and Iraqi forces to the house in the village of Hibhib where Zarqawi was hiding. A search of the site of the airstrike yielded vital intelligence, al-Rubaie said Sunday, including computers and diaries. In the days since Zarqawi's death, Iraqi and coalition forces have conducted at least 56 raids nationwide, he said.
