This paper outlines the affiliations and tactics of insurgent groups in Iraq. The author argues that if the country degenerates further into civil war, particularly one with an Islamic revolutionary element, such groups are likely to play an increasingly prominent role. The paper examines issues such as the special police commandos and Badr brigades, the local Shia militias, the Sunni tribal militias, as well as different criminal gangs.
