MISHRIF AL MUHAMMAD AL DINDIL.—A wild man but
extremely simple. Prior to British occupation his mode of
living was robbery of small caravans, generally accompanied
by murder, and lacking the show and splash of a raid. He
and the drones of the Hassun section of the Aqaidat do not
know what to do with themselves these days.
MIZBAN IBN SHAUKAH.—A large landowner at Hit
on the left bank. A man of influence in the district.
MUHAMMAD IBN KHIDR.—Age about 30 years. Was
formerly member of the Court of First Instance in Mayadin
under the Turks, but was unemployed during our occupation.
Was most active in the movement against us, assisting it
to the best of his power.
MUHAMMAD SATD IBN SAIYID ABDUL KARIM
SAIYID.—Born about 1857, and is by origin a Baghdadi.
Came to Radhwaniyah in Fallujah district about 34 years ago
and cultivated there for 25 years. For the last six years he has
resided in Fallujah. Wealthy, but keeps open house in Fallujah
and spends all he makes. Knows all the tribes and Shaikhs
intimately and is on friendly terms with them. Is strongly
pro-British and well known and respected throughout the
Fallujah district. He is a genial stout old man, whose influence
is all to our good. The value of this is apparent since every
tribesman of high or low degree visiting Fallujah can usually
be found enjoying the free hospitality of Muhammad Sa’id’s
house.
MUHAMMAD IBN TURKI IBN MIJLAD.—Chief of the
Dahamshar sub-tribe of the 'Amarat. He is anything but
obedient to Fahad Beg and is at present in pretty close touch
with Fahad al Dughaiyim.
MUHSIN AFFANDI.—Is a man of about 35-40 years of
age. He is a native of Dhibban near Mayadin, and belongs
to the Albu Chamil section of the Aqaidat. He was formerly
a Captain in the Regular Turkish Army, and later took service
with the Sharif, who confirmed him in his rank. Took a leading
part in stirring up the tribes in the neighbourhood of Albu
Kamal against us, and early in February, 1920, he was sent
from Mayadin with a party of about 30 horse to verify a report
that guns were being sent up by us. This he did, actually
firing on the guns on the line of march near Al Qaim on
11th February, 1920.
It is probable, though not certain, that he was with the tribes
engaged with our troops near Albu Kamal on 14th February,
1920. It appears likely that he was influenced by the intrigues
