File under: Islamic State of Iraq & the Levant

#1 I did some research and ran across the following:

Eastern Syria and western Iraq contain a similar Sunni, mostly Bedouin, Arab tribal population. Many of the tribes straddle the border with Syria (and Jordan and Saudi Arabia). These Sunni tribes are related (in terms of culture and religious attitudes) to the ones that run Saudi Arabia and dominate the Arabian Peninsula.

This is the group that forms the core of ISIL. ISIL is the perfect tool for Saudi Arabia.
