Issa Hails Successful Military Strike Killing Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

Rep. Darrell Issa, a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence and the House International Relations Committee, today made the following statement following the successful military strike of Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:

"This successful strike that killed one of the world's most dangerous terrorists and a number of his associates is the result of years of hard work by the members of our nation's armed forces, our intelligence community, the people of Iraq, and our allies who are helping us fight Al Qaeda.

"Al-Zarqawi has amassed a resume of terror that includes the beheading of Americans, responsibility for the deaths of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and an impressive ability to elude capture. This a significant defeat for Al Qaeda in Iraq."
