"A year ago, Sunni Arab fighter Abul Abed led an improbable revolt against Al Qaeda in Iraq. As he killed its leaders and burned down hideouts, he became a symbol of a new group called the "Sons of Iraq." He was the man who dared to stand up to extremists in Baghdad when it still ranked as a suicidal act. Today, Abul Abed, betrayed by his best friend, is on the run from a murder investigation in Iraq."
