(CNSNews.com) - Abu Musab al Zarqawi was alive, even conscious, when coalition forces arrived at the site of the bombing, a U.S. military officer told Fox & Friends on Friday morning.

That same officer later held a press conference by satellite from Baghdad, where he gave other reporters the same information.

On Thursday, U.S. military officials said Zarqawi had not survived the bombing, but on Friday, Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell told reporters it now appears he did survive for a short time.

Iraqi police were the first to arrive on the scene, Caldwell said, and they found Zarqawi in the rubble -- the only one to have survived the initial attack.

He said Zarqawi tried to roll off a stretcher at one point, apparently when he realized who his rescuers were. When U.S. troops arrived on the scene, they recognized Zarqawi -- who died "a short time thereafter."

I hope one of our guys did shoot the bastard and the last thing Zarqawi saw was a smiling American face framed by a 'Fritz helmet'!
