Iraq's Fedayeen Saddam: brave guerrillas or death squads?
Byline: Tod Robberson
JERUSALEM _ To many Arabs, the word "fedayeen" conjures images of brave guerrillas who risk death to challenge a far superior force. To governments like the United States and Israel, it is a word that evokes emotions of dread, frustration and anger.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld let those emotions show Thursday when he lashed out at the fighting tactics employed by an irregular force, known as the Fedayeen Saddam, that is harassing troops around southern Iraq.
"In fact, what they are is death squads," Rumsfeld told reporters in Washington.
