Read right now that the so called “Islamic State of Iraq” announced the respon­si­bly of assas­si­nat­ing Abu Risha say­ing they pre­pared for this oper­a­tion for more than a month.

Just like every death in Iraq, Mul­ti­ple expla­na­tions and one death, options are:

1– Al-Qaeda:

Al-Qaeda has lost its influ­ence in Anbar, [accord­ing news agen­cies and Abu Risha him­self], also con­firmed by Alhays on Radio Sawa yesterday:

Anbar province is Al-Qaeda-Free

2– Iraqi government:

This is the strongest option because of the sit­u­a­tion in the city of Ramadi-Anbar gen­er­ally irri­tates Shiite-government, because they failed to con­trol their own strongholds.

Also, Bush recent visit to Anbar alarmed the Iraqi gov­ern­ment, that Sun­nis are grow­ing stronger with the US support.

Sheikh Dulaimi, Chief of the Iraqi Arab Tribes Coun­cil said to Al-Hayat:

gov­ern­ment was angered recently when he [Abu Risha] asked for more sup­port for the tribes to to reduce the Iran­ian influ­ence in Iraq

Mithal Alalousi said:

There is no doubt that spe­cific indi­vid­u­als or polit­i­cal par­ties, some who claim to be in the polit­i­cal process, but they are ben­e­fit from the state of anar­chy and ter­ror­ism situation.

3– Tribal differences:

Pos­si­ble, tribes in the Anbar area love power and dom­i­na­tion, maybe this was enough moti­va­tion to assas­si­nate Abu Risha, they are already crit­i­cized him before.

Also reported ear­lier, that there were dif­fer­ences between Abu-Risha and Hameed Al-Hays [leader of the Anbar Sal­va­tion Coucil, mil­i­tary arm of Anbar Awak­ing Coun­cil], because of th with­drawal of the Accord Front from the Iraqi gov­ern­ment may be one of those involved in the assassination.

4– The Americans:

Illog­i­cal? First attempt on Abu Risha’s life, the Amer­i­cans were accused of being behind the sui­cide bomb.
