Iraqi lawmaker: numbers of officials found in al-Zarqawi's cell phone

BAGHDAD, Iraq In the aftermath of last month's air strike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his cell phone included the phone numbers of several senior Iraqi officials.

An Iraqi lawmaker did not identify the officials. But he says they included ministry employees and members of Iraq's Parliament.

The lawmaker called for an investigation to punish those whose numbers were found. He says Iraqis "cannot have one hand with the government and another with the terrorists."

Al-Zarqawi and several aides were killed in the airstrike north of Baghdad on June seventh.
