Sunni leader Sheikh Ahmed Abu Risha (L) talks to Iraq's national security adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie during a handover ceremony at the government headquarters in Ramadi, 100 km (60 miles) west of Baghdad September 1, 2008. The U.S. military handed over Iraq's Anbar province to Iraqi security forces on Monday, less than two years after it almost lost the western region to a Sunni Arab insurgency.
