The pending elections have forced rival insurgent forces, both sunni and shia, to bond together in many areas to disrupt the elecitve process.
Your analysis very well may prove to be correct. Saddam Hussein spent his last couple of years in power funding and organizing a group that could be suited to organize such an effort. My a/o is smack dab in the middle of where this groups C2 structure was established.
There are still thugs and criminals as before, but this type is normally motivated by money. The easy money for them now is of foreign influence, and their operations for whatever reason are AIF, and thus targetable.
