So who gets the cash then?Mr Maliki said intelligence from Iraqi people had also helped to track down Zarqawi, who had a $25m (£13m) price on his head - the same bounty as that offered by the US for Osama Bin Laden.

May be good news for the Iraqis, in a pyrrhic kind of way, but not so significant, otherwise.
The beat goes on.
Does anyone know exactly how the job would of went down so to speak. I couldn’t help but notice that the photographs of the corpse had definite injuries to the cranium that looked similar to that of gun shot wounds, yet apparently it was an air strike. I am assuming there were guys on the ground that called in the jets, then entered the building to “clean up”. Forgive my naivety but I have never had much dealings with air strikes
