BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Tuesday that an aide to Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in an airstrike in the militant stronghold of Fallujah.

The early-morning strike hit a known safehouse being used by al-Zarqawi’s terrorist network, killing a “known associate,” a military statement said.

The terrorists, essentially, have two and a half months before elections in Iraq. They're dropping like flies. And the clock is ticking.
