English term or phrase: Al-Qare
The Fedayeen a/k/a/ Al-‘Qare. This is a reference to Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen. Does anybody know the Arabic word for "Al-Qare". Could it be القارعة?

Quote "Ushered into Uday's office at the Olympic committee, al-Qurairy spent an hour reporting on his inspection of the al-Qare'a camp, then, he says, Uday changed. "He said, 'You sonofabitch, you think you care more about government money than we do?' I was so shocked, I immediately stood up. I said, 'Sir, there is a military committee investigating, this means execution.' He produced an electric cattle prod from nowhere, and he jabbed me with it between my legs. I lost consciousness.."
