Punishment Brigade for the al-Jaafari Government

The Punishment Brigade for the al-Jaafari Government is a terrorist group opposed to the Iraqi government and its cooperation with the United States. Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a Shia Muslim and member of the Islamic Dawa Party, was the prime minister of Iraq before he was replaced by Nuri al-Maliki, also a member of the Islamic Dawa Party, in May 2006 as a result of the December 2005 national elections. <p><br />In its history, the Punishment Brigade has only claimed responsibility for one attack, the kidnapping of Hussein Sabah Abdul-Karim in January 2006. Abdul-Karim is the son of Brigadier General Sabah Abdul-Karim, an adviser to then Defense Minister Sadoun Dulaimi who had resigned shortly before the abduction for unknown reasons. The exact date of the abduction is unknown although the group released a video of the hostage on January 21. Members of the organization demanded that Iraqi security forces halt cooperation with the U.S. <br />

There has been no further mention of the status of Abdul-Karim or the organization itself. Given Ibrahim al-Jaafari is no longer the prime minister of Iraq, it is possible the group is inactive. However, the Punishment Brigade most likely opposes the new Iraqi government in all forms, and its members are likely active within the Iraqi insurgency.
