Let $Y$ be a locally weakly quasi-homogeneous free divisor defined by a polynomial $f$. In this paper we prove that, locally, the annihilating ideal of $1/f^k$ over $D_X$ is generated by linear differential operators of order 1 (for $k$ big enough). For this purpose we prove a vanishing theorem for the extension groups of a certain logarithmic $D_X$--module with $O_X$. The logarithmic $D_X$--module is naturally associated with $Y$. This result is related to the so called Logarithmic Comparison Theorem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.1000v1
