fighters from returning home in Anbar, a local official was quoted saying.

Almaalomah website quoted Ragea al-Essawi, a member of anbar Province Council, saying that tribal feuds are preventing 500 families from returning to areas Iraqi forces had recaptured from the bully boys.

"There have been attempts (for reconciliation) by some tribal leaders, but victims’ families insisted not to let the bully boys’ relatives back, and threatened to kill them in Dire Revenge," Essawi stated.

He said those families, scattered across refugee camps in the province, will "disrupt the security situation at liberated areas" should they return home".
