Members of the major al-Jabour tribe led the operation, most prominently Captain Satam Ghannam al-Jabouri and a number of sympathetic officers from within the tribe. Relying on their assignment within Saddam's security detail, the plotters argued they had the necessary leverage to carry out a coup. Their objective was to install leadership from their own tribe, which significantly outnumbered Saddam’s al-Bu Nasir tribe. The operation drew inspiration for its execution from the 1981 assassination of Sadat, which occurred during a military parade.الأزمة: مذكرات مقاتل: نزار عبد الكريم فيصل الخزرجي 14 August 2024 المركز العربي للأبحاث ودراسة السياسات 978-614-445-619-4 https://books.google.com/books?id=dP1mEQAAQBAJ&dq=%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A8++%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%B1++1990+%D8%B5%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%85&pg=PA414 The conspiracy was discovered and those involved were executed.
