Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said al-Zarqawi was killed about Wednesday evening along with seven aides north of Baghdad. The Jordanian-born militant, who is believed to have personally beheaded at least two American hostages, became Iraq's most wanted militant, as notorious as Osama bin Laden, to whom he swore allegiance in 2004.
