Via the AP: Post-al-Zarqawi raids kill 104 insurgents

American and Iraqi forces have carried out 452 raids since last week’s killing of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 104 insurgents were killed during those actions, the U.S. military said Thursday.

[…]

He said 255 of the raids were joint operations, while 143 were carried out by Iraqi forces alone. The raids also resulted in the captures of 759 “anti-Iraqi elements.”

They also found and seized 28 weapons caches.

It would seem that,for the moment at least, there is some signficant momentum in the favor of coalition forces against the insurgents. Of course, whether this is just the foreign element, or a more sweeping success is impossible to say from the story.
