A USA Today profile on Iraqi tribal chieftain Ali Hatem al-Suleiman (left) notes that the "Sunni fighter" is also an Xbox gamer:

A pistol holstered to his hip and a Cartier watch on his wrist, [al-Suleiman] is part of a new generation of leaders demanding a bigger role in Iraqi politics. The 37-year-old is the chief of the Dulaym tribe, one of Iraq's largest and most powerful.

He opposes the religious parties that dominate Iraqi politics, though he comes from a conservative tribal culture that favors a more traditional role for Iraqi women. He is also a video game enthusiast who plays Black Hawk Down on his X-Box in his spare time.

GP: al-Suleiman needs to get some better games than the forgettable Black Hawk Down. Then again, we wonder if mentioning that particular game was a subtle dig at U.S. military forces in Iraq.
