Abu al Fadl al Abbas Forces

Qaeda Quwet Abu Fadl al-Abbas (QQAFA; Arabic: قائدة قوة أبو الفضل العباس‎‎ Qa‘īda Quwa ‘Ābū al-Faḍl al-‘Abbās), or the Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas Forces, is a Shiite militia operating in Iraq, formed following the June 2014 during ISIL advances. The force is affiliated with Sheikh Aws al-Khafaji, who was previously aligned with Muqtada al-Sadr. The group claims an affinity with the similarly named Liwa Abu al-Fadhal al-Abbas group fighting in Syrian Civil War on behalf of the Syrian government. QQAFA also appears to have deep links to Kataib al-Imam Ali.
