Who is whom in the Iraqi opposition:
There are 11 secular nationalist opposition groups, most important of which are the Iraqi National Congress (INC) headed by Ahmed Chalabi, the Iraqi National Accord (Al-Wifaq), the Iraq Communist Party, the Constitutional Monarchy movement led by Al- Sharif Ali Bin Al-Hussein and the Free Iraq Council headed by Said Saleh Jabr. There are five Islamist movements, most important of which are the Al-Da'wa Al-Islamiya led by Mohamed Baqr Al-Sadr and the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) (Al-Majlis Al-Ala lil Thawra fi Al-Iraq) which is the main Shi'ite opposition movement. There are five national officers' groups consisting of army officers who have defected from Iraq during the 1980s and 1990s. The most prominent of them are the Free Officers Movement led by Brigadier- General Najib Al-Salihi and the Higher Council for National Salvation (HCNS), a Denmark-based group led by Wafiq Hamud Al-Samarra'i.
