Understands the importance of force multipliers and will only plan to engage if he has the upper hand.
HVT potentially uses unsecure comms – a number of potential voice matches have been found on known Russian frequencies.
(S) C. Background & Significance
(S) Background: Abadi was born in July of 1975 and raised in his family home near Ramadi, Iraq. Following in the footsteps of an uncle, he joined the Iraqi army in 1995 as an officer cadet, graduating in 2000. As a young officer, Abadi climbed through the ranks serving in combat, support and staff officer positions. Early on in his career he was identified as a potential senior leader, mainly due to his close relationship with many senior officers and Baath Party elite. He earned the nickname of the “Warrior Lion” after single handedly killing Kurdish leaders in Northern Iraqi during an operation to attempt to rid the country of separatists.
(S) Significance: It is assessed that Abadi has been working in the background supporting and building Mohammed Nouri al-Karbouli's popularity and fighting base. It is unlikely that Abadi will commit to personally taking up arms, but he will likely use his reputation and charisma to drive SoAK forces forward. His fingerprints will likely be found on all SoAK plans. His finally tested and attuned military prowess will ensure that SoAK operations will be difficult to neutralise.
