| abstract | - Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH; Arabic: عصائب أهل الحق ‘Aṣayib Ahl al-Haq, "League of the Righteous") also known as the Khazali Network is a Shi'a insurgent group in Iraq and is known as the country's largest Special Group. Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq is alleged to receive Iranian funding and have links to the Iranian Quds Force. The group has claimed responsibility for over 6,000 attacks on American, coalition, and Iraqi forces. The group's Syrian branch is called the Haidar al-Karar Brigades and is led by Akram al-Kabi, who is Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq's military leader and is stationed in Aleppo. The group's strength was estimated at some 3,000 fighters in March 2007. In July 2011, however, officials estimated there were less than 1,000 Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq militiamen left in Iraq. The group is alleged to receive some $5 million worth of cash and weapons every month from Iran. In January 2012, following the American withdrawal from Iraq in December 2011, Qais al-Khazali declared the United States was defeated and that now the group was prepared to disarm and join the political process.
