Iraqis vs. al-Qaeda, Continued
Anti al-Qaeda force raised in Ramadi, Zarqawi passes on command of the 
Mujahedeen Council
By Bill Roggio
Al-Qaeda’s situation in Anbar province and the embattled city of Ramadi 
has slowly worsened since the deadly suicide strikes against police 
recruits. The attack did not deter Sunnis in Ramadi from volunteering 
for the police, and provoked a backlash against al-Qaeda’s gruesome 
tactics. Sunnis in Anbar, including in the cities of Samarra and Ramadi, 
have vowed to fight al-Qaeda, and six insurgent groups, including the 
Islamic Army of Iraq, declared war on the foreign terrorists.
The latest news from Ramadi indicates a “3,000-strong militia has been 
created in the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi, central Iraq, to protect 
civilians from insurgent violence.” There is no word on the actual 
makeup of the militia or if it is even deployed, however it is likely 
the group is made up of Iraqis who have fought the U.S. and Iraqi 
military. A similar arrangement was made in the al-Qaim region with the 
Desert Protection Force.
While the Iraqi government searches for solutions to splitting the 
insurgency and bring groups into the security and political processes, 
al-Qaeda is working to shore up its fighting capabilities by creating a 
“Mujahedeen Council.” According to the Chicago Tribune, “the council’s 
purpose was to ‘unite the approach of the mujahedeen … in order to 
dismiss all the differences and disagreements and controversies.’” 
Zarqawi was not appointed to lead the council, but instead an Iraqi 
named Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi was appointed the emir of the 
Mujahedeen Council. According to a posting on an al-Qaeda in Iraq 
website, “What Sheik Abu Musab did when giving up the title of Emir, 
this is a favor by the Emir of Slaughter to block the road to all those 
who say he is a foreigner.”
In other words, the council needed an Iraqi face, as Zarqawi is now a 
liability to the public face of al-Qaeda’s jihad in Iraq. Zarqawi’s 
actions shows he has taken Ayman al-Zawahiri’s advice to heart. In his 
letter to Zarqawi, Zawahiri implored him not to alienate the “Muslim 
masses” but to “strive to involve the Muslim masses in the battle, and 
to bring the mujahed movement to the masses and not conduct the struggle 
far from them.” Zawahiri is telling Zarqawi not be so ideologically 
blind as to reject allies based o n minor differences in faith. Zawahiri 
explained how the Taliban failed by excluding Islamist movements deemed 
unworthy due to minor ideological differences:
     We don’t want to repeat the mistake of the Taliban, who restricted 
participation in governance to the students and the people of Qandahar 
alone. They did not have any representation for the Afghan people in 
their ruling regime, so the result was that the Afghan people disengaged 
themselves from them. Even devout ones took the stance of the spectator 
and, when the invasion came, the amirate collapsed in days, because the 
people were either passive or hostile. Even the students themselves had 
a stronger affiliation to their tribes and their villages than their 
affiliation to the Islamic amirate or the Taliban movement or the 
responsible party in charge of each one of them in his place. Each of 
them retreated to his village and his tribe, where his affiliation was 
stronger!!
Zarqawi acquiesces to Zawahiri and creates an inclusive organization 
with outside groups, and appoints an Iraqi to command the Mujahedeen 
Council. This demonstrates Zarqawi recognizes his plan to incite a 
Sunni-Shiites civil war, which Zawahiri condemned on practical terms, 
has failed. The question is, has al-Qaeda shifted its mode of operations 
too late to recover from its mistake? Sunnis appear to be testing the 
waters with the elected Iraqi government and are committing to fight 
al-Qaeda.
