Iraqi Armed Revolutionary Resistance
- Iraqi Armed Revolutionary Resistance
The Iraqi Armed Revolutionary Resistance ("'IARR") is a Marxist insurgent group operating in Iraq.
History
Their existence was made public in mid-May 2007, when a group of insurgents distributed leaflets with pictures of Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara. The leaflets described the IARR as a "movement of Iraqi Communists and Marxists experienced in armed struggle, leftist Iraqi nationalists, and their supporters." They also spoke against the "puppet government, the so-called Council of Representatives, terrorist Salafis, militias, the Interior Ministry, Iraqi traitors who came on American tanks, the American and British mercenaries, contractors, and their servants from the South Lebanese Army."
Attacks
So far, the Revolutionary Resistance have claimed responsibility for one attack, against American troops in the area between Najaf and Karbala. Sources have said the attack targeted a convoy of “special forces of the occupation,” referring to U.S. military contractors, at the Khan Al-Nus area on the main road between the Shi’ite holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. The attack destroyed one vehicle and damaged another, killing the occupants of the first vehicle, according to the sources. The sources added that the Iraqi Armed Revolutionary Resistance would continue its military operations, according to a “meticulous and calculate plan, taking into account the delicate surrounding security situation and the intense intelligence presence of well-known elements and lackeys of the occupation, both Islamic and secular.”
