Special report: Al-Qaida's chief Zarqawi killed

   CAIRO, June 9 (Xinhua) -- A new videotape of Ayman al-Zawahiri,the number-two of the al-Qaida group in Iraq, is to be aired by the Dubai-based Al-Jazeera news channel, the TV said on Friday.

   The videotape came two days after the killing of the organizations' top leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

   The channel didn't reveal whether Zawahiri will talk about the killing of al-Zarqawi in the tape.

   Zawahiri will cover in the tape issues including the Palestinian referendum, Sudan's Darfur region crisis, according to Al-Jazeera.

   Al-Zarqawi, the most wanted insurgent in Iraq, was killed on Wednesday evening along with his seven top aides by a U.S. air raid in their safe house in Hibhib, about 40 km northeast of Baghdad.  Enditem
