'Megatons for Muftis' - has a nice ring to it. Maybe that will be the 'Remember the Alamo' of the current war.

Oh let it be so. Explosives did their part Friday according to this report:

The spiritual mentor of Al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Muslim cleric who justified Zarqawi's beheading of hostages in Iraq, has been killed in a US air strike, according to associates and relatives.

They said Omar Youssef Jumah, known as Abu Annas al-Shami, whose religious edicts or fatwas were heeded by his fellow Jordanian, died on Friday while hiding to the west of Baghdad.

The report could not be independently confirmed.

Shami called himself grand mufti, or spiritual guide, of Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group, which says it has beheaded two Americans this week and is threatening to kill a Briton.

His wife in the Jordanian capital Amman was contacted on Sunday by Iraqi friends to tell them of Shami's death in an overnight air raid, a family member told Reuters.

"They were told of the martyrdom of Abu Annas, who had left Jordan to fight in Iraq for God's cause," the relative said.

Shami and several comrades were being sheltered by local people from the Zouba tribe, from which anti-American insurgents draw support, close to Baghdad's main prison at Abu Ghraib, on the highway to the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Fallujah.

Don't skimp on the explosives, fellows. How much weaponry will it take to turn Fallujah into a moonscape, anyways? And wouldn't that be poetic justice?
