Many, especially in cosmopolitan areas suchas
Baghdad and Basra are intermarried with
SunniArab.
Unknown number of Kurdish Shia.

The Report of the Iraq Inquiry

Map 3. Iraq: Multi-National Division boundaries, June 2003

to May 2004

After the declared end of major combat operations, Iraq was divided into six divisional areas:
Multi-National Division (North) (MND(N)), Multi-National Division (North-Central) (MND(NC)), Multi-National Division (Baghdad) (MND(B)),
Multi-National Force (West) (MNF(W)), Multi-National Division (Center-South) (MND(CS)) and Multi-National Division (South-East) (MND(SE)).
In late 2004 MND(N) was divided into MND(NE) and MNF(NW).
In late 2005 MNF(NW) and MND(NC) were merged to create a new MND(N).
In early 2007 a new Multi-National Division (Center) was established relieving MND(B) of responsibility for security south of Baghdad.
In late 2008 MND(NE) was dissolved and became part of MND(N).
In early 2009 MND(CS) was dissolved and became part of MND(C).
The boundary of MND(SE) remained unchanged from 2003 to 2009 until the withdrawal of UK troops.
