Was Zarqawi ow-ie a wowie-zowie whiz-bang finish?

The latest rumor in Iraq is notorious terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi assumed room temperature last friday and is now pushing up daisies in a Fallujuah graveyard (hat tip Captain's Quarters). An Iraqi Sunni sheikh, Ammar Abdel Rahim Nasir, has told the Saudi on-line newspaper Al-Medina that gunfights which broke out in Fallujah in the last few days were the result of his fellow terrorists trying to protect his tomb.

Nasir said al-Zarqawi was taken there after being injured in the city of Ramadi around three weeks ago, and may have been treated by two doctors who had worked with his aides in Baghdad. He said the two doctors had stopped a serious haemorrhage in al-Zarqawi's intestines, but that after his condition worsened last week, the militant died on Friday.

Sounds like it was painful. Always good to know someone has a glimpse of hell before being tossed into it.
