Iraqi Scholars and Intellectuals Group
The Iraqi Scholars and Intellectuals Group (List 455) is an Iraqi political coalition formed in 2007. It is predominantly formed from the minority Sunni sect and calls for "employing a moderate religious approach to reinforce national unity".[1] In the 2009 Iraqi governorate elections they took 6% of the vote and 3 seats in Salah ad Din, 3.2% but no seats in Anbar and 1.3% but no seats in Diyala.[2] In March 2009 one of its leaders was assassinated in Basrah.[1]
