| | Tape: Zarqawi Death Great Loss |
 | | CAIRO, Egypt - A key insurgency leader in Iraq said the U.S. killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was a "great loss," but one that will strengthen the militants' determination, according to an audio tape broadcast Friday. |
 | | The tape appeared to be an attempt to rally support for the insurgents after last week's killing of al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq who died when U.S. forces bombed the house north of Baghdad where he was meeting his advisers. |
 | | Mustafa Alani, a terror specialist at the Gulf Research Center in Dubai, has said the new leader will be appointed by Osama bin Laden or his top al-Qaida lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri, who are believed to be hiding in the border mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan. |
