JERRY'S QAEDS

U.S. keeps heat up as al-Qaida in Iraq issues urgent appeals (Liz Sly, 6/10/06, Chicago Tribune)

The U.S. military pressed its offensive against al-Qaida in Iraq on Friday, staging an additional 39 raids based mostly on information uncovered during the hunt that led to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in a U.S. airstrike.

The raids came as al-Qaida issued urgent appeals for money and volunteers to fight U.S. forces, a day after the news of al-Zarqawi's death left the organization without a clearly identifiable leader.

The sooner they identify one the sooner we can blow him up too.
