ABDUL AZIZ IBN UMAE MISTO, HAJI.
Chief of the Hassinan tribe (Kurdish) on river at
extreme north of Tel Afar district. At feud with the
Miran, his father having been ousted by Mustafa
Agha, father of the present Miran Chief. Went to
Sharifian forces in Tel Afar in June, 1920, but pro
bably under compulsion, and has shown himself on
the whole loyal to us. Raided Miran in September,
1920. A quiet, solemn fellow who nurses a grievance.
On good terms with Sulaiman Agha of the
Oirghriyah, and is said to have helped rebels of that
tribe in the Suwaidiyah. His brother Yusuf Agha is
a virile type; both of them being good fighters.
ABDUL KARIM BEG.
A scion of one of the leading Mardin families, w r ho
frequently comes to Mosul for the purposes of trade
and generally has some good information to impart.
Says, which is probably true, that he is rather sus
pected in Mardin owing to his visits to officials here.
Seems very pro-British. An uncouth youth, which
gives him the appearance of bad" manners. Has a
penchant for the gay life. His father is a Kurdish
CdnTmittee man.
ABDUL RAHMAN AGHA OF TEL AFAR DISTRICT.
See Ali Agha, Haji.
ABDUL RAHMAN EFFENDI IBN USMAN
EFFENDI.
Is always known as Effendi to differentiate him from
Abdul Rahman Agha of Shaikh Ibrahim. One of the
leading Tel Afar Aghas, by extraction from
Diarbekr. Ran a robber band in Turkish times. He
took part in the Tel Afar coup of June, 1920, but
was not a leading spirit. Went over the Turkish
frontier and joined Bilaibil (q.v.) in raiding our
territories, but made submission at Tel Afar in July,
1921. Is an insolent blackguard, but a bit of a
sportsman.
