A Reuters witness saw a man and a woman and four children, two boys and two girls, being pulled out of the rubble of a razed home in the rebel-held city of Falluja, about 30 miles west of Baghdad.

The U.S. military denied a family of six was killed, saying it launched four strikes against safehouses used by Zarqawi's fighters.

"Intelligence sources indicate a known Zarqawi propagandist is passing false reports to the media," it said in a statement.

Reuters television footage showed men chanting "There is no God but Allah!" as they carried the body of the father of the family of six.

"Is this the gift that (interim Iraqi Prime Minister) Iyad Allawi is giving to the people of Falluja?" asked one man, pointing to the small bodies of two of the children lying in the trunk of a car. "Every day they strike Falluja."

If you're an occupying invader.

2. Zarqawi is a spook...

a boogeyman propagated by the Bush Admin in response to having lost track of where Osama Bin Laden is. He's being used as a justification for the "liberation" of Iraq for supporting terrorism. I'm sure if we sat down with a map and marked down where and when Zarqawi "was", we'd see he gets around more than a joint at a Phish concert.
