The few reports on AAH rebranded the group as a leader in the fight against ISIS, and not necessarily as an enemy of the west.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn July 2014, the BBC released an expos\u00e9 on AAH, describing it as a \u201cfearsome Iraqi militia.\u201d Reporter Jeremy Bowen provided little criticism of the group, introducing AAH as a legitimate political party and militia that had gained experience from fighting western troops in the early 2000s. Bowen met AAH leader Qais al-Khazali, who reportedly \u201cemphasised that the group was now a political movement as well as a military force. He claimed\u2026that it was not sectarian, and would protect all Iraqis against foreign invaders.\u201d Bowen noted, \u201c[AAH is] one of the few Iraqi formations that might just scare Isis as much as Isis scares everyone else.\u201d\u003Cspan class=\u0022footnote\u0022\u003EJeremy Bowen, \u201cThe fearsome Iraqi militia vowing to vanquish Isis,\u201d BBC News, July 7, 2014, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east-28199741\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east-28199741\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA September 2014 \u003Cem\u003ENew York Times\u003C\/em\u003E piece introduced AAH\u2019s side of the story, quoting multiple members of the group and carrying relatively little criticism of its actions.
