Today's Fox News has the latest on the killing of Zarqawi.
"Zarqawi was alive when U.S. forces arrived on the site," Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said in a satellite interview from Iraq. "The Iraqi police arrived first, they found him in the rubble, put him on a gurney of some type."
Caldwell, the chief U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, said Zarqawi tried to roll off the gurney to escape once he became aware of the fact that he was being taken into custody by coalition troops Wednesday night after two 500-pound precision guided bombs blew up his safehouse near Baqouba.
U.S. forces immediately made a visual identification of Zarqawi but were unable to interrogate him because he died of his injuries "shortly after" being pulled from the rubble, Caldwell said.
Even if our troops could have questioned him, I can't imagine Zarqawi telling them anything. He hated everyone too much.
Update:
In my haste this morning, I forgot to give credit for the picture. I got it from Michelle Malkin's website, and it looks like she got it from Fox News, but I didn't see it on the Fox News site, so I'm not sure who put it together. But it's great PhotoShopping.
