The New York Times of October 12, 2006, has a photo of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim,
leader of the dominant Shiite bloc in the Iraqi parliament. He is seated in
front of two flags - the Iraqi national flag, and an unidentified one which I do
not recognize. See
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/12/world/middleeast/12iraq.html.
The flag is a dark green (if the photo and my monitor are reliable) with an
emblem and script in white. The emblem is mostly obscured, but from the little
bit visible it may be the emblem of Mr. al-Hakim's party - the Supreme Council
for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI). A full-color version of the SCIRI
emblem is available at Wikipedia
