Ikhwan raid on Busayya
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Ikhwan raid on Busayya in Iraq occurred on November 5th, 1927.[1] Elements of the Ikhwan, mainly consisting of the Mutair tribe under al-Dawish, raided southern Iraq, clashing with Iraqi troops near Busayya, resulting in some 20 casualties on both sides. This attack later became known as the beginning of the Ikhwan rebellion.[1]
Aftermath
Ikhwan tribesmen also raided Kuwait in January 1928. In both occasions (raids on Iraq and Kuwait) they looted camels and sheep, and though they raided brutally, they suffered heavy retaliations from the Royal Air Force and Kuwaitis.[2]
