Jund Al-Islam
Shi'a political group established by dissident members of the Al-Da'wah Party in late 1969. Currently led by Sa'd Jawad Qandil, who has close ties with SCIRI. Qandil is sometimes cited in the media as being a representative. The group may have merged with SCIRI after the emergence of the terrorist group Jund Al-Islam (aka Ansar Al-Islam), which shares the same name but is unrelated.
