Iraqi insurgent groups say they'll continue fight after death of al-Qaida leader

CAIRO, Egypt Iraqi insurgents are closing ranks, after this week's U-S airstrike that killed al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (AH'-boo MOO'-sahb ahl-zahr-KOW'-ee).
They've sent condolences in Web messages and warned Sunnis not to cooperate with the Iraqi government.
One group posted a video showing militants interrogating and then beheading three Iraqis accused of belonging to a Shiite "death squad" that killed Sunnis.
The posting suggests insurgents want to show that al-Zarqawi's death has not weakened their resolve. It also marks a vicious return to form, because hostage beheadings had been less common in recent months, perhaps as al-Zarqawi came under criticism for the slayings.
