Snake Party (also called Snake's Head Movement or Harakat Ras Al Afa) is substantially comprised of former Baath Party and Saddam Hussein loyalists that are engaged in the Iraqi insurgency. This group originated from the Ba’ath Party in Hawija and aspired to be a political party to oppose the multinational forces' presence in Iraq.

Criticism

Some call the Snake Party fanatics and Arab Sunni street gangs. Supporters of the Snake Party say it is an organized and legitimate paramilitary movement.
