Major-General William Caldwell said Friday that nearly 40 raids were carried out overnight Thursday, some directly related to information found in the house where Zarqawi was killed. The Jordanian-born Zarqawi was said to have personally taken part in beheadings of hostages and other killings. He was killed when the U.S. military dropped two 227-kilogram bombs at his safe house near Baquba, northeast of Baghdad. Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.
