Shield of Islam Brigade (Arabic: لواء درع الإسلام, romanized: Liwāʼ Dirʻ al-Islām) was a small and mostly unknown insurgent group during the Iraq War.[2][3]
Iraq Insurgency
During the group's active times, Shield of Islam Brigade used sniping tactics during the Iraq Insurgency, they also mostly assassinated people at checkpoints.[4] The group would rarely get any prominence from any other group during the insurgency.[3] They also would do small front-line attacks on Iraqi and U.S. military check points.[2] Even though the group wouldn't get prominence from other insurgent groups, they did receive arms and ally-ship with Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[5][3]
Online presence
Shield of Islam Brigade posted videos of them assassinating people and uploaded it onto Jihadist forums.[4][6]
