Prior to that, he held the position of secretary of the leadership of the Fallujah branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and was a member of the Iraqi National Council.[1]
After the 2003 invasion

In April 2004 the Ba'ath Party announced his expulsion from the party, but he was arrested on December 11, 2004.[3]
He was released on August 4, 2010, after being acquitted of the charges brought against him in the case of draining the marshes.[4]
