Militia Spotlight: Profiles

The objective of this series is to provide journalists and government analysts with concise, clear profiles for each of the major Iraqi militia entities discussed in Militia Spotlight research alerts. Each profile provides basic data (name, logo, and type of activity) and summarizes the best available evidence concerning the entity’s history, alignment, and relationships with other groups. The profiles are regularly updated.
