Emad Al-Kasid, at right with gun in his hand, and members of the Al Hacham Al-Kasid Tribe, red flag, merge with a neighboring tribe in their home village Suq ash Shuyukh, about 20 miles southeast of Nasiriyah, Iraq, Wednesday, July 30, 2003. The men were paying respects to a member of another tribe who was electrocuted Tuesday night. The man was a guest at the Istikbal, or homecoming celebration, for Malik Al-Kasid's family Tuesday. This was the first time Emad went to a tribal function as an official representative of the tribal council...The celebration lasts three days with different tribal chiefs, family members and friends coming and going. The Al-Kasid family fled Iraq after the Gulf War and their part in the uprising against Saddam Hussein in 1991, spent 3 years in Rafha, Saudi Arabia and finally settled in Dearborn, MI. The family hasn't been home to Iraq in 13 years.
