The website has detailed information on each. Sample entry:

Wakefulness and Holy War:
This is an Arab Sunni Muslim mujahideen group
operating in Fallujah. They videotaped an attack
and sent it to an Iranian TV station on July 7,
2003 in which they said that “Saddam and America
are two faces of the same coin" and stated that
they were carrying out operations against the
American occupation in Fallujah and other Iraqi
cities.

What a snake pit.
