Anbar chieftain to Islamists: Get out of Anbar - or else.

Let's get ready to rumble!

A tribal chief in Anbar warned the Islamic party on Tuesday to evacuate its offices in the province otherwise they will be attacked.

"We warned the Islamic party in case it did not take our threats seriously, its offices will face armed attacks by our tribes," Sheikh Khatab Amer Abdul Jabar al-Soliman told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI).

"The Islamic party illegally controls Anbar, which led to the deterioration of the province's conditions and the spread of administrative corruption," he added.

The Islamists vow to...sue their a$$.

For his part, the head of the provincial council, who is also a member of the Islamic party, said "we have courts and law which will punish anyone who carry weapons against anyone else. We filed a lawsuit with the Anbar court against Hamid al-Hayes, head of the Anbar Salvation Council, because of his statements in which he threatened the Islamic party and the provincial council," Dr. Abdul Salam al-Aani told the VOI over the phone.



Al-Hayes had threatened to take up arms against the Islamic party, led by Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, for controlling Anbar’s local posts and facilitating the entrance of al-Qaeda network into the Sunni Anbar province.

"The Islamic party has only nine of the province’s seats" al-Ani pointed out, "the Awakening Council has 13, though they are unelected members, in an attempt to appreciate the efforts exerted by the awakening tribal figures."

Al-Hayes also called for canceling the local electoral commission in Ramadi for being fully controlled by the Islamic party.

The Islamic party is a major Sunni party and one of the components composing the Iraqi Accordance Front (IAF) list, the third parliamentarian block, that hold 44 out of the parliament’s 275 seats.
