About four months a^o Yusuf Beg Al anaur as Sadun
collected some tribes belonging both to Mejd and to Iraq on
the border between the two countries and at lacked the tribe
of Bin Phuwaihi, one of the leaders of the Bhafir, which
tribe belongs to Iraq. ...hen I discovered (tat some of my
tribesmen were mixed up in the affair along with Yusuf Al
ansur (who does not c ase o ..-romo-.c dis:cord and endeavour
o cause enmity between the two friendly countries) 1 sent
ahad bin Abdulla bin Jiluwi with a force to punish those of
my ttibes who had been guilty, to put a stop to such occurr-
-enceo in the future. lie had noi had ime to reach the
border before Yusuf bin I'ansur fled into Iraq territory and
induced some of my ribes fo follow him into Iraq erritory.
Ke went with some of heir leaders to Baghdad, where they
were rewarded and made much of, so that since then they have
been frequently making raids over the broder upon my tribes
