6. Samarra

this will just confuse the world, particularly US/UK press, that have been conditioned to kick into "Sunni Triangle" at such a time, but Sadr(HA)'s Jaysh al-Mahdi now has a division formed up there as well, along with Arab & Turkmen members in Kirkuk's province. It has up to now been primarily Arab Nationalist with a touch of Salafi influences, but this just adds to the matter.
