#1 Is there anyone who can parse his tribal relationships from his name in the house?

#2 Paul, you're right. It's very odd. I thought Ansar was anti-Kurd creation of Saddam.

#3 Chuck-
I think you are confusing it with Ansar al-Islam: Ansar al-Islam is a radical Kurdish Islamic group that is supportive of Saddam Hussein's regime. Ansar al-Islam was established in December 2001 after a merger between Jund al-Islam, led by Abu Abdallah al-Shafi'i and the Islamic Movement splinter group led by Mullah Krekar.

#4 Ansar as-Sunnah split off from Ansar al-Islam. I believe it could be considered a division of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

#5 Is it safe to say that Ansar Al-Sunna has been be-headed?

#6 Ansar al-Sunnah is a sub-group/successor to Ansar al-Islam that was formed after the former group got broken up by the US during the invasion and split into constituent chunks, one fleeing south into the Sunni Triangle and another heading east towards Iran.
