As for the death of Zarqawi being insignificant, as was
suggested earlier, it looks like the good news is even
better than first thought. -EY

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- American and Iraqi forces have carried
out 452 raids since last week's killing of terrorist leader
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed during
those actions, the U.S. military said Thursday.
Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S. military spokesman in
Baghdad, said the raids were carried out nationwide and led
to the discovery of 28 significant arms caches.
He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143
were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also
resulted in the captures of 759 "anti-Iraqi elements."

Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffaq al-Rubaie, said
the killing of Zarqawi marked the "beginning of the end" of
al-Qaeda in Iraq.
He said documents seized after the raid that killed Zarqawi
had given coalition forces "the upper hand".
