		Anbar province, which has a population of 1.4 million people, is second only to Baghdad in insurgent violence.

	Anbar Province and Emerging Trends in the Iraqi Insurgency
		That the latest trend in the evolution of the Iraqi insurgency is unfolding in the Anbar province is not in the least surprising.
		Ironically the word “Anbar” is Persian for “warehouse”; it was given this name by the ancient Persian Sassanid Empire, since the whole area served as a massive warehouse for its troops.
		Secondly the Anbar province is usually the first port of call for jihadis and other foreign (and in some cases Iraqi) elements who infiltrate into the country through the Iraq-Syria border.

		Al-Jadaan was a leader of the Karabila tribe, which has thousands of members in Anbar province, an insurgent hotbed stretching from west of Baghdad to the Syrian border.
		Anti-American sentiments have been strong in Anbar since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein's regime, which was dominated by the Sunni Arab minority.
		The rift worsened with a wave of assassinations and bombings that killed dozens of Anbar residents after tribal and religious leaders, former army officers and ordinary Iraqis met with U.S. officers to discuss what could be done to speed the withdrawal of the U.S.-led military coalition.

		Anbar has generally been considered too volatile for major preparations for the Jan. 30 election, though al-Gout insisted the vote will be held as planned.
		He acknowledged, however, that there had been talks between senior Anbar leaders and governor officials – whom he refused to identify – about the possibility of postponing the vote in the predominantly Sunni province.

		The mainly desert province of Anbar is the largest in Iraq and borders Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
		The meeting was the culmination of long standing government efforts to win over Anbar tribal leaders, which included a January visit by Jaafari to Ramadi where he met tribal heads and promised a 75 million dollar reconstruction effort.
		Another carrot included the release of nine prisoners who come from Anbar and which, Rubaie said, would be followed early in March with another 400 being freed, many of them also coming from the province.

	Deadly Anbar harbors 'rat lines' - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It is the deadliest province in Iraq per capita, an expanse of desert, small towns and the rich Euphrates River that combine to attract some of the worst of America's enemies, the kind that 2nd Marine Division troops were hunting Nov. 19 when things went terribly wrong in Haditha.
		Anbar's Sunni Muslim residents mostly have been hospitable to these bands of jihadis led by Abu Musab Zarqawi, who was killed Wednesday in a U.S. air strike in Diyala province.
		The town of Haditha, one of Anbar's rat-line stops, was the site of what is now a well-publicized Marine patrol Nov. 19 by squads of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment.

		Sattler said in an interview last week there is "no doubt" that Anbar is somewhat behind the other Iraqi provinces in registering voters.
		Anbar's population is largely Sunni, a group that was favored under Saddam but is likely to lose power in elections to the Shiite Muslims.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Marines engaged in war of attrition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Military officials now frequently compare the fight in Anbar to the Vietnam War, saying that guerrilla fighters, who blend back into the population, are trying to break the will of the American military — rather than defeat it outright — and to erode public support for the war back home.
		During three weeks of reporting along the Euphrates River valley, home to Anbar's main population centers and the core of insurgent activity, military officials offered three primary reasons that guerrilla fighters have held and gained ground: the enemy's growing sophistication, insufficient numbers of U.S. troops and the lack of trained and reliable Iraqi security forces.
		However, there's been less political progress in Anbar than in Iraq's Kurdish north and Shiite Muslim south, the violence there has stymied progress in rebuilding towns destroyed in the fighting and Iraqi forces are still a long way from being able to secure the province.

		BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. and Iraqi forces in the western province of Anbar have seized thousands of pounds of explosives and arrested dozens of suspected insurgents in a three-day sweep, military officials said yesterday.
		Marine spokesmen have said the operation, like other recent sweeps farther west, is aimed at driving insurgents out of towns and disrupting their ability to move guerrillas, weapons and supplies from neighboring Syria into western Iraq and other parts of the country.
		The Iraqi Red Crescent Society says 6,000 families have been displaced across Anbar province in the fighting and are suffering in the summer heat.

		Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade, 7th Iraqi Army Division - one of two Iraqi Army brigades in western Al Anbar Province - have spent months now learning the administrative and decision-making processes they’ll need to function as a military headquarters element to the three Iraqi infantry battalions which will eventually be under their charge.
		In fact, the 2nd Brigade, as well as its subordinate Iraqi infantry battalions throughout Al Anbar, will be operating independently by the end of the year, said Kenney.
		While Marines here admit that there is still more work to be done before 2nd Brigade is ready to take operational control of its subordinate battalions, progress is consistent, and the Iraqis are beginning to receive more equipment, such as the Humvees, to go along with their training.

	Fester's Place: Robbing Peter to redeploy Paul: Losing in Iraq
		U.S. officials in Washington and Baghdad agree that Al Anbar province — the vast desert badlands stretching west from the cities of Fallouja and Ramadi to the lawless region abutting the Syrian border — remains the epicenter of the country's deadly insurgency.
		But in Al Anbar province, that objective is overshadowed by the more basic mission of trying to keep much of the region out of insurgent hands.
		As I outlined in a previous post one of the primary military reasons for the second Fallujah operation was to deny the insurgencies the luxury of a Temporary Autonomous Zone that was free of any counterinsurgent capability.

	Anbar Tribesmen Take on al-Zarqawi
		A report by al-Hayat on January 26 that “Tribal Popular Committees” have been formed in Ramadi (capital of Anbar province) to hunt down Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his followers, “for the purpose of expelling them from the Iraqi border to Syria,” does not come as a surprise.
		For its part, the Iraqi government is not overly-impressed by the counter-insurgency initiatives of the Anbar tribesmen.
		The increasing mobilization of Anbar tribesmen converges with increasing confidence by the two Arab Sunni blocs (namely the Sunni Islamist “Iraqi Accord Front” and the much smaller neo-Baathist “Iraqi Front for National Dialogue” led by Saleh al-Mutlaq) in using quasi-official platforms to promote the insurgency and pressure the government to make unreasonable concessions.

	Ramadi epicenter of dangerous Anbar fight
		The importance of Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, can't be overstated: It is approximately the size of Wyoming, encompasses the highway linking Baghdad to Amman, and spans the borders with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria.
		Ramadi, with a population of about 400,000, is also home to a series of U.S. military bases, including 1 Marine Division headquarters and the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, a unit that has suffered one of the highest casualty rates in the post-war period.
		The prospect of Baghdad asserting itself in Ramadi and then throughout Anbar depends in large part on the Iraqi police and the national guard.
