Fedayeen Saddam was a militant group loyal to Saddam Husayn. The group had 30,000 to 40,000 members at its peak.[1] The group was also not binded by the law similar to the CIA.[2] The group were the cause of the most deadly attacks against US forces in 2003 during the 2003 Iraq invasion by the US.[3][4] The group has also been known to operate in civilian clothes to confuse US forces.[5][6][7]
