Insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi lived for 52 minutes, in and out of consciousness, before he succumbed to massive internal injuries caused by the concussive blasts from two 500-pound bombs dropped by a U.S. fighter jet, U.S. military officials in Baghdad said Monday.

Al Qaeda in Iraq named a successor following the killing of the group’s leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, according to an Internet statement on Monday.

“Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajir is a good brother, has a history in jihad and is knowledgeable. We ask God that he … continue what Sheikh Abu Musab began,” it said.

This reminds me of the Far Side cartoon where the deer has a bullseye for a birthmark with the caption “bummer of a birthmark, Hal”. President Bush wasted no time saying this next idiot is now on the list.
