Weekly Assessment, 28 Feb.-6 Mar. 2011; US Embassy-Baghdad cable, Subject: PM's Chief of Staff: Sense of
Relief Regarding Arab League Summit Delay, 28 Mar. 2011. Subsequently, in April, the ALS was postponed
indefinitely in large part due to the anger of GCC states over Iraq’s protest of the crackdown on Bahrain’s Shi’a
population. The GCC states also wanted the summit to be held somewhere other than Iraq. On 5 May the ALS was
postponed until March 2012, but Iraq retained the right to host the event. See CG Read Book, 6 May 2011.

The Senior Working Group is part of the Combined Security Mechanism created in 2009 to reduce tensions and
ensure stability and security between Arabs and Kurds in the Combined Security Areas (CSAs) in Ninewa, Tamim
(Kirkuk), and Diyala provinces. The SWG typically consists of the DCG (Operations) for USF-I and chiefs of the IGFC,
Peshmerga, and Federal Police, and meets on a monthly basis. It is the decision making authority for actions
occurring in the CSAs and their decisions are reviewed and approved by the High Level Committee (HLC). The HLC
consists of the USF-I CG and KRG and GoI ministers of Interior and Defense or Peshmerga; it generally meets on a
quarterly basis.
