” ““If confirmed, the death of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi would be a real turning point for the Iraqi population, fed up with vexations and threats, and wishing for security and stability”. With those words, the Chaldean auxiliary bishop in the Iraqi capital, Msgr. Shlemon Warduni, commented to Sir the news of the killing of the terrorist with Jordanian origins. He was considered the Chief of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the lieutenant of Osama Bin Laden. He was killed yesterday evening, during an American air attack north of Baquba, about 65 kilometres north of Baghdad. The announcement was made known this morning, live on television, by Shiite Premier Nouri al-Maliki. “I have no direct news, yet – he said – but if confirmed, I think this news will give the population new trust and hope for a better future. The people got rid of a heavy weight, perhaps the heaviest among the numerous ones afflicting this country. Evil cannot reign, and those who do evil must reflect, for they are doomed to defeat”.
