Iraq’s Anbar province used to be one of the centers of the
insurgency, and it might be becoming one again. Sheikh Ahmed Abu Risha recently
told the press that 40% of the governorate was under the control of militants. Today there is a free flow of fighters back and forth across the Syrian
border. Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) is targeting the security forces and local
politicians. More importantly, it is attempting to gain control of territory as
there have been several assaults upon towns and cities this year. This has
occurred despite the Iraqi security forces (ISF) announcing one operation after
another. Its tactics of raids and retreats have proven largely ineffective, and
the mass arrests that have taken place are counterproductive. Violence is
picking up across many parts of Iraq, but Anbar is one specific area where
insurgents are attempting to establish a permanent presence.

The new tactics of the insurgency were shown in January 2013
with high profile attacks upon the security forces and notables. There were 44
incidents across the province that month with most of those, 27, centered in
Fallujah. The press and Iraq Body Count reported a total of 34 killed for the
month, almost half of which were soldiers, 10, police, 10, and members of the
Awakening, 3, with another 17 policemen, 16 soldiers, and one Awakening member
being wounded. Some of the major attacks included January 3 when three
policemen were assassinated with silenced guns in Jebeil, and the home of a
policemen was bombed in Ramadi. January 6 a sticky bomb killed two
relatives of policemen in Hit. January 7 there was a mortar attack upon the
Anbar Operations Command base in Ramadi. January 15 a parliamentarian from
the Iraqi National Movement, and one of the early leaders of the Awakening
Sheikh Aifan Issawi was killed by a suicide bomber. January 16 there was a
shootout between Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) elements and the security forces in
Rutba that left nine insurgents and three policemen dead, while the head of
the Anbar provincial council came under a mortar barrage. January 17 there
was another confrontation in that city with another nine militants and two
soldiers killed. January 27 there was a coordinated operation against the
army in Fallujah with a rocket attack upon an army base east of the city, and mortars were fired at another in the north. Much of this activity
could be accounted for by Al Qaeda in Iraq’s Breaking Walls campaign. The security forces responded by discovering a car bomb workshop just outside of Fallujah on January 9, hunting down and killing ten AQI members in the western desert and capturing seven others on
January 18, and detaining five more north of Ramadi that had escaped from
Tikrit prison in September 2012. Most of the attacks occurred in the
cities and towns that run along the Euphrates River such as Qaim, Haditha, Hit,
Ramadi, Amiriya Fallujah, and Fallujah. That has been a traditional path taken
by insurgent as it follows trade and smuggling routes that have been used for
centuries. Much has been made of Al Qaeda’s expansion due to the war in
neighboring Syria. 2013 however shows that the organization is still embedded
deep in the province, not just in the remote border areas.

February saw a slight dip in violence. There were only 25
security incidents, eleven of which were centered in and around Fallujah, and 14
people died. The main target was the Iraqi Army (IA) in that city. February 2 and 3 saw mortar attacks on an army base north of Fallujah. February 6 there was a rocket attack upon an IA base inside the city. Then on
February 26 there was a rocket attack on a base east of Fallujah. February
might have been a reloading period for the insurgents in Anbar as it had the
fewest number of attacks and deaths for the year.

In March, things started picking back up again. There were
35 incidents leading to 84 deaths with Fallujah, 11, and Ramadi, 8, bearing the
brunt of violence. The most prominent attack was on March 4 when Al Qaeda
ambushed a military convoy that was escorting 48 Syrian soldiers back to their
country. They, along with nine Iraqi soldiers were all killed. There were
also a series of other attacks upon Anbari politicians and notables. March 2 a
candidate for the provincial elections was wounded by a sticky bomb attached to
his car. March 10 a district council member in Hit was assassinated in a
drive-by shooting, while the head of the local council in Rutba was shot
as well. March 19 Sheikh Hamid al-Hayes’ residence was hit by rockets. Al Qaeda felt so emboldened that it held an impromptu press conference in
Ramadi, and addressed a crowd that had assembled there. In turn, the Anbar
border guard announced the construction of a trench system along the Syrian
border at the beginning of the month meant to impede the flow of fighters back
and forth between the two countries. That might have been too late, as
March would mark one surge in insurgent activity for the year. AQI was leading
the charge with its headline grabbing murder of the Syrian soldiers. It not
only showed sophisticated planning, but probably inside intelligence from the
Iraqi government or security forces who tipped off the militants about the location
of the bus that was carrying the foreign troops.

April was one of the high points for the anti-government
forces. There were 72 attacks, 41 of which were in Fallujah, leading to a total
of 62 fatalities. Civilians were the main casualties, but there were also the
regular operations against officials and the security forces. April 1 there was
a mortar barrage against an army base in Fallujah. April 14 the head of
the municipal council in Fallujah was hit by a roadside bomb. April 17
there was an assassination attempt against the Attorney General of Fallujah, and on April 27 the Deputy Director of the Anbar Police faced a similar
attack. The vast majority of incidents in April however were small-scale
ones against civilians, police, and soldiers. From April 21 to 28 for example
there were 27 shootings across seven of those eight days with the main aim
being to undermine the ISF. The growing violence in Anbar finally prompted the
central government to announce a major operation in the province. That
proved to be the first of many attempts by the authorities to secure the
province. None proved to be effective however.

May was much deadlier with 71 attacks and 124 deaths. More
than half of those were members of the police, 61, Awakening, 19, and military,
2. Unlike previous months these attacks were spread across Fallujah, Ramadi,
Garmah, Hit, Qaim, and Rawa. May 6 there was a rocket attack upon an army base
east of Fallujah. May 12 a member of the Awakening had his house bombed
east of Fallujah. May 20 a candidate for the provincial elections was
kidnapped, and an army base in Albu Ali Jassim was attacked. May 21
the 8th Army Brigade north of Ramadi was hit by mortars. May 29
a Federal Police station in Fallujah was assaulted. May 30 Governor
Fahadawi faced a car bomb, while an army base in Rawa was mortared. Eight
soldiers and 23 policemen were also kidnapped in four separate incidents. The
most audacious attack was an attempt to storm Ramadi on May 18. Finally,
AQI released a statement claiming that it was negotiating with tribal leaders
in Anbar to get them to join the fight against the government. This all
happened during The Ghost operation by the security forces, which deployed
in the towns along the Syrian border. By the end of the month the
government said it had cleared out the largest Al Qaeda camp in Anbar. This
actually seemed to have an affect in disrupting insurgent activity the next
month.

In June, Baghdad deployed additional forces to Anbar during
the delayed provincial elections there. At the beginning of the month the Anbar
Operations Command announced a new campaign in Rawa and Nukhaib. That’s an
area that stretches across the middle of Anbar from the north by the Syrian
border down to Saudi Arabia. Then in mid-June, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
ordered 6,000 troops to the Syrian and Jordanian borders before the vote. The result was a small decrease in attacks from 71 in May to 51 in June.
Fallujah again saw the most incidents, 17, but so did a number of the smaller
towns in the governorate such as Hit, 3, Rutba, 3, Saqlawiya, 3, Garmah, 3, and
Husaybah, 2. The number of people killed remained high at 75 including 32
police and 9 soldiers. To coincide with the balloting the mayor of Rasheed had
a sticky bomb placed on his car on June 7. An Iraqiya candidate was hit by
a roadside bomb in Ramadi on June 10. Three Mutahidun candidates were
targeted in Hit on June 18 and 19. June 20 a suicide bomber attacked
a vote counting center in Ramadi. Additionally, on June 21 a bridge in
western Anbar was blown up, and there was an assault upon a 7th
Army Division base along the Syrian border involving car bombs and small arms
fire. By the end of the month Al Qaeda’s front group the Islamic State of
Iraq announced its own campaign in western Anbar focusing upon Hit, Rawa, and
Qaim. The insurgents were not able to disrupt the elections, as the extra
troops helped. At the same time, the militants showed resilience, and would
reply with increased activity in July.

July saw the government and insurgents launch competing
campaigns with the latter coming out on top. At the beginning of the month the
ISF said that it was increasing activity down the Euphrates from Qaim along the
Syrian border down to Ramadi along with continued operations in southern Anbar
in the Nukhaib area. Then a new security campaign was announced for
Ramadan. Part of this was the “Hell on Terrorism” operation by the Syrian
and Jordanian borders by the Defense Ministry, the Anbar river police conducting
operations in the marshes, and more talk of building security barriers in
the border regions. These had no visible impact, as there were 72 attacks
that month as Al Qaeda launched its “Soldiers Harvest” campaign. While the
ISF was deployed on the outskirts of the province insurgents again hit the
central areas of Fallujah, 24, Ramadi, 7, Amiriya Fallujah, 4, and Garmah, 4.
That led to 76 deaths, 60 of which were soldiers and policemen. From July 14 to
20 for instance, there were a number of hit and run attacks upon the ISF in the
governorate. In the battle between the government forces and their opponents,
the insurgents appeared to have the upper hand in July. The increased security
operations did seem to lead to a decrease in violence the next month
however.

There were only 48 incidents in August showing that the ISF
operations that started in July might have been able to disrupt insurgent
activity for a short period. Baghdad started the new Revenge of the Martyrs, which wasn’t focused upon Anbar initially, but then came to include the
western regions of the province such as Jazeera, Qaim, Rutba, Akashat, and
Husaybah. Fallujah and Ramadi remained the main targets for insurgents
with 24 and 12 attacks respectively, while there were 57 deaths for the month.
August 3 an army base east of Fallujah was hit by rockets. August 14 a
soldier’s house was bombed. August 29 the chief of staff of the Anbar
Operations Command was hit by a roadside bomb, and on August 31 an army
base in Rawa was mortared. As in previous months the ISF’s gains in August
were only temporary.

The inability of the government to maintain any momentum was
shown in September. That month attacks went right back up to 71 leading to 71
deaths. Again, most of the attacks were in central Anbar including 21 in
Fallujah, 15 in Ramadi, 5 in Amiriya Fallujah, and 3 in Garmah. Besides the
regular attacks upon the security forces militants seemed emboldened by
launching two concerted attacks upon Rawa and Ana, two towns just across from
each other in northern Anbar on September 24. That included a bridge being blown up between Ana and Haditha, an assault upon downtown Ana with car
and roadside bombs, and a combined attack on a 7th Army Division base in Rawa and the local police HQ in the city. There were
many other additional incidents. There were two attacks upon the Amiriya
Fallujah police station on September 1 and 6. The houses of policemen
were bombed on September 4 and 14. Sheikh Mohammed al-Jumaili was assassinated on September 5. An oil pipeline near the Akkas field was
blown up on September 7. A police station in Fallujah was attacked on
September 17. There was an attempt upon the life of the deputy head of the
provincial council on September 20, the head of the Sunni Endowment in
Anbar on September 25, and Governor Diab on September 26. Besides the
regular assaults upon the security forces and notables in Anbar, September saw
a decided increase in the scope of the insurgent’s plans. That was shown by the
attempts to take Rawa and Ana. While its been said that the militants have free
reign along the border and desert regions of the province, attempting to take
and hold towns was much different. This was one of the goals of the new
Soldiers Harvest campaign of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

The pace of insurgent operations hit a high mark in October.
That month there were 97 security incidents resulting in 134 killed, including 78
police and soldiers. As usual, Fallujah took the brunt of attacks with 35,
followed by 21 in Ramadi, 8 in Rutba, and 5 in Amirya Fallujah. October 10 the
SWAT command in Ramadi was attacked. October 16 a police station in
Haditha and one in Ramadi were assaulted. October 17 Sheikh Hamid
al-Hayes’ residence was targeted again. October 23 a bridge to Jordan was
blown up. The most prominent events however were an attack upon downtown Fallujah on October 21, and on Rutba on October 22. As usual the ISF
were reactive launching Operation Burn Terror on October 24 and Iraq Lions
in the western desert on October 27.

The inability of the Iraqi forces to stop Al Qaeda and other
insurgent groups in Anbar has come under increasing criticism by politicians,
the press, and sources within the ISF themselves. In June, a member of the
Anbar provincial council claimed that the Iraqi police and army could not deal
with militants out in the desert areas. That same month sources told
Al-Mada that only two helicopters were patrolling the Syrian border in
comparison to the Americans who used to have 30. The Deputy head of the
provincial council Sadoun Abid Shalan told New Sabah that the ISF only operated
for 1-2 days and then withdrew, which allowed insurgents to move right back in
afterward. In July, Al-Mada quoted sources within the security forces that
said there was little intelligence gathering along the border, and only 25% of
the border guards were ever on duty allowing militants free reign to go back
and forth between Anbar and Syria. In October the deputy head of the
provincial council Salah Issawi said that the security forces could not contain
the wave of attacks happening across the province, while the Iraqi press
reported that local tribes were no longer cooperating with the government and
reporting on militants. Sheikh Abu Risha claimed that arbitrary arrests
were alienating Anbaris and allowing Al Qaeda to make a comeback. Comments
like these have increasingly been made since the U.S. military withdrawal.
Since then the ISF have stopped using the population based counterinsurgency
tactics that proved so successful during the Surge. Instead they use hit and
run tactics and mass detentions that leave large areas open to continued
insurgent infiltration, and alienate the public. The futility of these types of
operations are shown in Anbar where there have only been occasional decreases
in attacks, while the overall number of security incidents and deaths have gone
up since the beginning of the year.
Anbar is once again becoming a hotbed of insurgent activity.
There were twice as many attacks in October 2013 as January and three times as
many deaths. Not only that, but militants are becoming so emboldened that they
have launched full-scale assaults upon police stations, army bases, government
offices, and towns and cities. Much of this has been the work of Al Qaeda in
Iraq, which is currently experiencing a resurgence. Part of this is due to
Syria that has opened up new sources of funds, material, and manpower. That’s
been the focus of the Iraqi forces, which routinely deploy to the border areas.
However half or more of all of the security incidents this year have occurred
in the heart of the governorate ranging from Hit to Fallujah. This is just like
the 2004-2006 period when Anbar was a stronghold for various insurgent groups,
and cities like Fallujah and Ramadi provided urban bases for them until the
Awakening and the Americans were able to clear them out. That successful
combination of military, tribal, and government forces is now sorely lacking.
Most of the Awakening has joined the Anbar protest movement with only a few
sheikhs still being aligned with Baghdad. There are even reports of tribes once
again carrying out attacks. The government’s punitive and reactionary tactics
are only making the situation worse. That’s shown in the demonstrations that
have demanded the anti-terrorism laws now longer be used because they allow for
warrantless arrests, and the release of prisoners. Without popular support, the
ISF cannot collect intelligence from locals, which is crucial in anti-insurgent
operations. Until the government forces adopt a new strategy they can’t begin
to reverse the deteriorating security situation in the province.
