Islamic Clerics Committee
The Islamic Clerics Committee is one of several grassroots leadership groups that emerged in post-war Iraq. Representing the Sunni minority in the country, the group used their leverage to secure the release of more than 20 hostages in the early months of 2004.[1] The group became popular because of the aid convoys that they arranged to be sent into the besieged city of Fallujah.[2]
The ICC was heavily critical of the United States' siege of Fallujah, particularly in light of the death toll among the city's residents.[2]
