The killing of Zarqawi is a “new beginning” for the persecuted peoples of Iraq, the Interior Minister said today:

Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told Iraqiya state television: “Killing Zarqawi is a new beginning for Iraqi security and establishing peace between the different components of society.”

Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani said the demise of Zarqawi would help improve oil production, crippled by violence.
