Iraqi National Rally (INR)
The INR is headed by Secretary-General Dr. Husayn al-Juburi. Little information is available on the group. Al-Juburi is a former Republican Guard general who participated in a 1991 failed coup attempt against Hussein along with members of the Juburi tribe. He spent eight months in prison. Al-Juburi became the self-appointed and later U.S. appointed governor of mayor of Tikrit. AFP reported on 10 February 2004 that al-Juburi was relieved of his duties for "poor management." Al-Juburi was a staunch oppositionist to Hussein in the mid-1990s and signed his name to several letters written by opposition. He also was named in December 2002 to the opposition's Follow-Up and Coordination Committee. The weekly "Al-Safir" [The Ambassador] is affiliated with al-Juburi.
