KHURSHlD BEG DILO.
Khaniqin district. Cousin of Muhammad Beg, but at feud with him. Fought
against us.
KHURSHlD AGHA GEZH.
Of Yalghuz Aghaj, Kifri district. Rais of the Gezh tribe, a tribe of honest and un
usually efficient cultivators. A sound little chief of a sound little tribe. His influence in
his district does much to keep up law and order. Age about 47.
KITAB AL KHALlL.
Of the Jubur, Hillah district, brother of Shaikh Murad.
KOKHA RAJAB.
Kirkuk district, Kurd. Shuan chief holding the loose allegiance of 35 villages.
Lives at Haji Bai Khan in a humble way. Age 36. Anxious for recognition as a chief of
all the Shuan but has four or more rivals. Probably honest but not very vigorous or
competent.
KURAIDI AL QADHQADH.
‘Aziziyalh district. Shaikh of the Najadat, 60 Bait. Semi-nomad tribe living near
Diyalah. Kuraidi is obliging, but has not much character or influence with his tribe ; has
given considerable assistance supplying Sheep to military, and camels for transport purposes.
Considering that the tribe is rather unapproachable, they are on the whole very satisfactory.
KURAIYIM, HAJI.
Himahmah (Muntafiq, Bani Malik, Mujarrah).
An important personage in the tribe. Is reputed a good arbitrator in land disputes
and has frequently helped the A.P.O., Suq, in such cases.
KUWAIT, SHAIKH OF.
See Salim ibn Mubarak al Sabbaj.
LAFTAH IBN AHMAD, HAjI.
Agent in ‘Amarah for ‘Abdul Qadir Khudhairi of Baghdad. Respectable man.
LAFTAH AL SHAMKHI.
Shamiyah district. Head of the Jarrah, the largest section of the Bani Hasan. Under
Turkish rule Laftah was something of a firebrand, and gave trouble pretty constantly.
Latterly he has suffered from poor health and has been inclined to live in Kufah. It is
probable that some of the intrigues which led to the Najaf riots of January and March
were carried out in his country, and he wanted to be out of the way. Also we have backed
‘Alwan al Sa'dun, q.v., and his nose is rather out of joint. He is rather wild but straight
and outspoken. He has a very strong hold over his tribe, and is an exceptionally energetic
cultivator who will probably become rich. He has very greatly improved in the last six
months and gives promise of becoming a useful person.
