Maybe He'll Roll Over On The Switch

I don't much care how Abu musab al-Zarqawi dies, I just want him to die. Perhaps he'll roll over on the detonator button of his suicide belt. That would be fine. The Times of London reports:
IRAQ’S most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, goes to sleep every night wearing a suicide belt packed with explosives, according to a leading insurgent who met him two weeks ago.

“He never takes it off,” said Sheikh Abu Omar al-Ansari, leader of a Sunni resistance group called Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura (Army of the Victorious Sect).

"He told me: ‘I would rather blow myself up and die as a martyr — and kill a few Americans along the way — than be arrested and humiliated by them’.”

Good intelligence. Maybe we can start broadcasting known detonator frequencies at night throughout Iraq. Hey, it worked for Jack in last week's 24.
