Hamas of Iraq (Arabic: حماس العراق, romanized: Ḥamās al-'Irāq) was a Sunni militia group based in Iraq, which split from the 1920 Revolution Brigades on 18 March 2007.[3] The group claims to have released videos of its attack on US troops.[4] The 1920 Revolution Brigades insists that Hamas in Iraq was involved in assisting US troops in their Diyala operations against Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[5][6] former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had feared the US-armed 'concerned local citizens' were an armed Sunni opposition in the making, and has argued that such groups should be under the command of the Iraqi Army or police.[7] On October 11, 2007, the militia group joined a political council that embraced armed insurgency against American forces.[8]
