Iraqi Civil War (2006–2008)
The Iraqi Civil War was a civil war between the Iraqi government allied with the American-led coalition and various sectarian armed groups from 2006 until 2008. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, intercommunal violence between Iraqi Sunni and Shia factions became prevalent. In February 2006, the Sunni organization Al-Qaeda in Iraq bombed the Al-Askari Shrine in Samarra which is considered one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam. This set off a wave of Shia reprisals against Sunnis followed by Sunni counterattacks.
