Richard Miniter joined me at 7AM to discuss Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq who waged a bloody campaign of beheadings and suicide bombings, was killed when U.S. warplanes dropped 500-pound bombs on his isolated safehouse.

Richard Miniter who is currently writing a biography on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi for Simon & Schuster.

Richard Miniter discussed the following:

Near the reckage of Zarqawi's safehouse, Iraqi police found a box of nine human heads. There were more heads that were found prior to this event near Zarqawi's location in the past week.

Why Zarqawi can't be replaced.

Zarqawi's video DID NOT lead to his capture -- but a Sunni informer did.

Zarqawi's death probably means the end of suicide bombings in Iraq -- although other attacks with continue.

New York Times best-selling author and terrorism expert Richard Miniter, author of Losing Bin Laden, Shadow War: How America is Winning the War on Terror and most recent release, "Disinformation: 22 Media Myths that Undermine the War on Terror." Miniter is a former writer for the Wall Street Journal and the Sunday Times (of London).

Al Qaeda has already named Abdallah Bin Rashid al Baghdadi, head of its shura council in Iraq, as Abu Musab al Zarqawi’s successor. Hat tip to Debka file
