A joint military effort by 4000 Iraqi forces supported by armed men from 100 tribes  have mounted a joint effort in the Anbar Province in western Iraq to bring down the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq" (ISI).

The ISI, declared by Iraqi and foreign terrorists, has killed thousands of people and destroyed mosques, schools, and anything that has come their way.

They have made life unbearable for the major cities of the province, particularly the provincial capital of Ba'quba.
