Iraq War

The name Ali Baba was often used as derogatory slang by Americans Soldiers and their allies in the War in Iraq to describe individuals suspected of a variety of offenses related to theft and looting.[1] In the subsequent occupation it is used as a general term for the Iraqis, similar to "Hajji," or Charlie for the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War.[2]

Due to interaction of the two peoples, the term Ali Baba was adopted by the Iraqis to describe foreign troops suspected of looting,[3] and the English-speaking mainstream press mistakenly reported the slang to be native to the locals.[4]
