Jamal Jafaar al-Ibrahimi was born in 1954 in Basra, Iraq. He finished his studies in engineering in 1977 and in the same year joined the Dawa Party. When the activity of the Dawa Party was banned by Saddam Hussein, he fled to the Iranian city of Ahvaz where the Iranians set up a camp to train Iraqi dissidents. He was convicted for planning the attacks on U.S. and French embassies in Kuwait in retaliation of their support of Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war. In 2003, he returned to Iraq with the fall of Saddam Hussein and served as a security adviser to the first Iraqi prime minister after the U.S. invasion Ibrahim al-Jaafari. In 2005 he was elected to Iraqi Parliament as the representative of the Babil Governorate. When the U.S. officials discovered his background, they raised the issue with then-Iraqi prime minister Nouri Al-Maliki in 2007. After this he left Iraq and fled to Iran. He returned to Iraq after the withdrawal of US troops and is now deputy chief of Popular Mobilization Forces.
