Iraq: Peace Keeping Operations
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the principal militias identified as involved in insurgency attacks on UK service personnel in Iraq, together with their known leaders.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 4 June 2007]:A small number of individuals are involved in attacks against UK forces deployed on operations in southern Iraq. While some claim membership of a range of militia groups, we assess that the majority of these individuals are affiliated to the militant and extremist elements of Muqtada al Sadr’s Jaysh al-Mahdi.
