Sunni Arab tribal leader Abdul Sattar Abu Risha attends a meeting of the Anbar Salvation Conference in Ramadi, 100 km (60 miles) west of Baghdad, August 16, 2007. The White House on September 13, 2007 condemned the killing of Abu Risha, who recently met with U.S. President George W. Bush during his visit to Iraq's Anbar province. Abu Risha was the leader of an alliance of Sunni Arab tribes that joined forces with U.S. troops to push al Qaeda from much of the western area hailed by Bush as a success story in Iraq. His death came as the U.S. president was preparing to deliver an evening televised address about his war strategy. Picture taken on August 16, 2007.
