    COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INFORMATION IRAQ United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) October 2005 This report has been produced by UNHCR on the basis of information obtained from a variety of publicly available sources, analyses and comments. The purpose of the report is to serve as a reference for a breadth of country of origin information and thereby assists, inter alia, in the asylum determination process and when assessing the feasibility of returns to Iraq in safety and dignity. The information contained does not purport to be exhaustive with regard to conditions in the country surveyed, and incomplete, inaccurate or incorrect information cannot be ruled out. The inclusion of information in this report does not constitute an endorsement of the information or views of third parties. Neither does such information necessarily represent statements of policy or views of UNHCR or the United Nations.

The backstory for both accounts begins when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s violent jihadi group al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) had infested VICTOR ASAL the Al Qaim district of Anbar after fleeing Fallujah. Having presented them- University at Albany SUNY selves as freedom fighters, the militants were now beginning to show their true ALEJANDRA BOLANOS intent, using killings and coercion to keep the locals in line with their radical National Defense University al Qaeda agenda. Although most of the Anbar tribes opposed the U.S.-led LAWRENCE CLINE occupation, once the sheikhs realized that AQI was working to undermine their Naval Postgraduate School authority, they had a change of heart, and the Sahawa (Awakening) was born.
