The Iraqi National Accord (INA) is an Iraqi Political Party headed by Iyad Allawi . It was founded at the time of the Persian Gulf War as a resistance group to the rule of Saddam Hussein . At that time the two most active anti-Saddam groups were the SCIRI and Al-Dawa both Shi'ite and based in and supported by Iran . This did not suit the western powers or Saudi Arabia , who had long poor relations with the Islamic Republic. The INA was thus set up to be an alternative, largely funded with money from Saudi Arabia and received support from Britain and the United States. INA membership consisted largely of military and security personnel who had defected from the Iraq i army under Saddam Hussein 's rule. Because of the perceived connections between INA members and security forces protecting Saddam Hussein, the INA drew American interest as an alternative ally to the Iraqi National Congress . INA organized attacks in Iraq between 1992 and 1995 to demonstrate its capacities as a militant group, but these caused little damage to the regime. In August of . With the fall of Saddam the INA entered Iraq playing a central role in the occupation government. With the rift between the United States and the Iraqi National Congress the INA's role was further enhanced and Allawi was declared Prime Minister Of Iraq on 2004-05-28 . Under Allawi the INA participated in the January 2005 Iraqi Election , in the Iraqi List coalition. In the December 2005 Elections it is part of the Iraqi National List coalition. EXTERNAL LINKS
