Another sand story
"On Thursday, a suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform attacked a meeting of U.S.-backed tribal sheiks in Karmah, killing more than 20, including three U.S. Marines and the mayor.
One of the Americans killed was Lt. Col. Max A. Galeai of Pago Pago, American Samoa, the commander of Marines in the Karmah area.
The attack happened two days before U.S. officials planned to formally hand over security responsibility for Anbar to the Iraqis, marking a major milestone in the transformation of a province that had been the most violent in Iraq.
U.S. authorities announced Friday they were postponing the handover ceremony because of weather forecasts calling for high winds and sandstorms, which would ground aircraft and make it impossible for dignitaries to attend."
US reports pressure on al-Qaida in Iraq's north June 28, 2008
.
The "suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform" was in fact a sleeper member of Karma's 'Sahwa' brigade who thus managed to attend the meeting unhindered and get close to the Marine commander of the Karma area.
The trip from Baghdad is one hour by car. The need for the Iraqi 'dignitaries' to arrive there only by air transport (in sandless weather) is a measure of the surge's effect on the 'increased security' situation. (30,000 troops heading to Iraq in 2009 June 27, 2008).
The below article (in Arabic) refers to the order to arrest Abu Abid who commands 1000 Sahwa members and was the first Sahwa commander in Baghdad's Amariya last year. He claims that the Sahwa brigades are now targeted for elimination by the Americans and the government after fulfilling their role in chasing the Qaida out from their areas. It is also reported that many Sahwa members are now switching over and joining the patriotic resistance forces who are accepting them in their ranks.
