Zarqawi death sparks massive Pentagon spin campaign

The US says coalition forces in Iraq have carried out more than 450 raids since the death last week of al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The US said 104 insurgents were killed and 759 "anti-Iraqi elements" captured.

The Resistance Movement can hardly be called "anti-Iraqi elements" so I guess we're talking about foreign elements here... The report also fails to tell how many civilians have been killed in these 450+ raids. Looks like the Pentagon has launched a massive spin campaign again, just as it did earlier this year.
