al-Qaeda Murders Awakening Council Leader

Via Yahoo News:

BAGHDAD (AFP) – A bomb fixed under the car of an anti Al-Qaeda militia leader in Iraq killed both him and his young son west of Baghdad on Wednesday, police said.

"Abu Ahmed al-Zobaie was killed at midday in a public marketplace in Abu Ghraib by a bomb stuck to his car," police major Hatef Mohammed told AFP, adding that Zobaie's "young" son had also died in the blast.

I see al-Qaeda's strategy of "murder the Iraqis till they agree to give their country to us" is alive and well.
