Al Anbar (Arabic: محافظة الأنباMuḥāfaẓät al-ʾAnbār) is a province in the nation of Iraq. Its capital is Ar Ramadi. Anbar is the largest province in Iraq, sharing a border with Syria, Jordan (undefined), and Saudi Arabia. Its name is Persian (انبار 'Anbār) and means "the warehouse". This region was the warehouse of the Persian Sassanid troops. The province also contains the city of Fallujah. The Iraqi insurgency is widely considered to be stronger in this province than in any other in Iraq, and to this day, US forces still struggle to gain control of the region where hostility towards occupation forces has been especially fierce. Anbar, with Ramadi and Fallujah in particular, is known for its inhabitants' strong tribal and religious traditions, with even the regime of former President Saddam Hussein wary of the volatile nature of the area. province of Iraq File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

The pan-Arab al Hayat newspaper reported on Friday that the campaign against the group had so far resulted in the arrest of 270 Arab and foreign "infiltrators" and a number of Iraqis, according to the leader of Al Karabla tribes in al Qa'em.
While both al Zarqawi and the Iraqi militant groups were fighting a common enemy — the U.S. and coalition forces — Iraqi opposition to al Zarqawi and his brutal tactics had been building with the increasing death toll of civilians killed in al Qaeda's suicide attacks.
Al Hayat reported that tribal leaders in alAnbar were already preparing for a dialogue with the government and the multicoalition forces this week.
