Unfortunately, the ceremony did not involve dropping strips of bacon in the grave.

Slain terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been buried in a ''secret location'' in Baghdad, Iraq's national security adviser said.

Mouwafak al-Rubaie would not say when the Jordanian-born militant, who was killed June 7 in a U.S. airstrike northeast of Baghdad, was buried, or give any specifics on the location of the grave.

The U.S. military confirmed the burial but declined to give details.

''The remains of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi were turned over to the appropriate government of Iraq officials and buried in accordance with Muslim customs and traditions,'' the military said in an e-mailed statement. ''Anything further than that would be addressed by the Iraqi government.''

But the families of the murderous jihadi leader express doubts.

Al-Zarqawi's older brother demanded that his body be transferred to Jordan, and accused the United States of lying.

''Bush took his body to the United States,'' Sayel al-Khalayleh, 50, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his home in the Jordanian city of Zarqa.

''Even if he is buried in Iraq, we will continue to ask for the body to be transferred and buried in Jordan,'' al-Khalayleh said. ''He should be buried in his own country.''

Jordan's government had refused to let al-Zarqawi's body back for burial because of the triple suicide bombing his al-Qaida in Iraq organization carried out in the capital, Amman, last year.

How about we send these family a bill for the bombs used to take out this murderous beast?
