Bad news for George Galloway and the terrorists

AQ’s number 2 in Iraq was killed today:

WASHINGTON — U.S. Special Forces killed Al Qaeda’s No. 2 terror mastermind in Iraq, Defense Department officials said.

FOX News has confirmed that Abu Azzam, who was believed to have been in charge of the financing of terrorist cells in the war-torn country, was killed during a raid in Baghdad early Monday morning Iraq time. Azzam is thought to be the top deputy to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Iraq’s most wanted terrorist.

Azzam is the latest in a series of top Zarqawi deputies that have been killed or captured by coalition forces in recent months. Zarqawi’s Al Qaeda in Iraq group has taken responsibility for some of the country’s most horrific acts of terror including car bombings, kidnappings and beheadings of Iraqi civilians and westerners.

Mega-salutes go out to our special forces teams, and to all our men and women serving right now … despite what you may have seen in DC over the weekend, America supports you AND the mission you are fighting, and hope it’s completed soon so you can come home to your families.
