Death of a Terrorist (Web)Mastermind
Everyone online has something to say about the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Wednesday night signaled the end of the line for Iraq’s head al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The terrorist general was killed by heavy air strikes by U.S. authorities, who cite an April video posting of Zarqawi on the Web as a key tip-off to his location and identity. Ironically, the mastermind who orchestrated some of the region’s bloodiest civil violence through extensive online propaganda was killed partially as a result of his own Internet savvy.
As usual, everyone online has something to say about this major event. Blogs are abuzz with most conservatives proclaiming Zarqawi’s death a tremendous victory, many liberals questioning the level of actual progress that can be made by his demise, and terrorist supporters proclaiming that bloodshed and revenge will be inevitable.
