Fedayeen Saddam (Arabic: فدائيي صدام, romanized: Fidā'iyyī Saddām) was a paramilitary Fedayeen organization intensely loyal to the Ba'athist Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein. The name was chosen to mean "Saddam's Men of Sacrifice". At its height, the group had 30,000–40,000 members.[1] The Fedayeen operated completely outside the law, above and outside political and legal structures.[2]
