The Tribes of Iraq Coalition (List 398) also known as the Anbar Salvation Council is an Iraqi political coalition formed to contest the 2009 Al Anbar governorate election which won 2 out of 29 seats.[1][2] The party was one of several formed out of the Awakening movements - Sunni tribal militias armed and financed by the United States Army to fight al-Qaeda in Iraq. The coalition was led by Sheikh Hamid al-Hais. In an interview with the Washington Post prior to the election, Hais said he would kill all the Iraqi Islamic Party's candidates if anything happened to any of his candidates.[3]
They joined the National Iraqi Alliance for the 2010 Iraqi Elections.[4]
