kuebel Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Won't change much I guess; it has more of a PR effect for the US (and the other side) than anything else, since the groups operating in Iraq are so loosely connected that it would have much of an effect on the groups' abilities. He will be replaced and is already being celebrated as a martyr, so, meh. Nothing much of a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 How can they be absolutely sure he's dead though, or that he was even at the place they attacked? Though hopefully he is dead, as if it will make any differance if he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinluka Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Besides the obvious visual match (the guy looks exactly like sarqawi) they finger printed him and ID'ed his scars and tatoos with the description they had and they got a match on all counts. They are also doing DNA tests to be absolutely sure which should be ready within the next 2 days. Also, Al Qaeda has already confirmed the death on their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 How can they be absolutely sure he's dead though, or that he was even at the place they attacked? Though hopefully he is dead, as if it will make any differance if he is. They already pulled dental records and birthmarks off of the body. After the US has put so out so many of those "we think we killed blah blah blah" only to be proven wrong later, you know they did their fact checking first before announcing something this big. Apparently, most of the top aides were with him at the time, so whoever is going to be filling in the power void is going to be from the B team.

st0lve Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Breaking news: Zarqawi died struggling on a stretcherRD, in what way he died doesn't really matter.. It's not like he is alive just because he died on a stretcher, or he wouldn't be alive if he got shot 3 times into his skull etc. His dead, and nobody really cares about if he died on a stretcher struggling or whatever.
