#6 Rooters manages to find the cloud behind the silver lining:

Afri was killed in an air strike southwest of the northern city of Mosul, Fox said.

"He is no longer a threat to the Iraqi people. We will continue to hunt down al Qaeda in Iraq and their operatives who conduct indiscriminate and brutal attacks against the Iraqi people," Fox said.

Scores of clay-built homes were levelled in the bombings, burying entire families in rubble
