'''Anbar Salvation Council''' is a [[Sunni]] militia in [[Iraq]] formed by members of [[baathist]] and nationalist to fight [[Al-Qaeda in Iraq]]. Fighting against the [[United States of America|Americans]] in the beginning of the war, they have since allied themselves with the U.S. to rid their country of foreign extremist composing mainly of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. It has been reported that they have received cars, guns, and ammuntion by the [[Military of Iraq|Iraqi]] and [[Military of the United States|U.S. forces]] to counter the [[islamists]] in the [[Al-Anbar province]]. In recent months elderly sheiks and tribal leaders have turned away from the Islamic State in Iraq, a radical sunni extremist terrorist organization who specializes in car bombs and suicide attacks. But al-qaeda has struck back at the tribes using chlorine truck bombs and calling them traitors for working with the government.
