#2 "Over the last year, Saydiyah has become one of the principal battlegrounds for the territorial war between Shi'a militias and Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) in Baghdad. Located in the western end of the Rashid Security District, Saydiyah was formerly a mixed neighborhood, with a Sunni majority.

Prior to the invasion in 2003, many officials in Saddams government lived in the area, and following the outbreak of the war, it became a stronghold for the Sunni insurgency.

Although Al-Qaeda and other Sunni insurgent factions initially cooperated in Saydiyah, it appears that Al-Qaeda slowly pushed out the other Sunni groups, while simultaneously intensifying violence against the Shi'a residents of the neighborhood.

The reaction from Shi'a militias and Shi'a-dominated government security forces led to extraordinary violence during the summer of 2007."
