Topic: Hala Hussein


  
  Hala Hussein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hala Saddam Hussein (born 1979) is the third daughter of former president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein and his first wife Sajida Talfah.
Hala is the favorite daughter of Saddam Hussein, mostly because she was the youngest and most innocent of his children.
In 1998, when Hala was nineteen, her father arranged for her to marry General Kamal Mustafa Abdallah Sultan al-Tikriti.

Saddam Hussein (or Husayn) 'Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (صدام حسين) (born April 28, 1937) was the President of Iraq from 1979 - 2003 and Prime Minister of Iraq from 1979 - 1991 and 1994 - 2003.
Saddam Hussein's answer to this ethnic conflict was seen as brutal to many observers and included the systematic use of chemical weapons on Kurdish troops and population centers.
By April 9, 2003 Saddam Hussein was not in the public eye, with some reports indicating he had been killed or wounded in air strikes in a restaurant where he reportedly had been holding a meeting.

Hussein has imprisoned or killed anyone suspected of disloyalty in the past, and he crushed two coup attempts backed by the CIA in the mid-1990s.
Less clear is whether the CIA misjudged a tip from an informant in Baghdad that Hussein and his sons would be sleeping at Dora Farm, a heavily guarded compound belonging to Hussein's daughter, Hala, near Baghdad University.
The CIA spokesman insisted Thursday that the report that Hussein was at Dora Farm was "as ironclad as you can get" and that "not a shred of doubt" has challenged that view within the agency.

He portrayed them as aimed at Saddam Hussein and members of his family, and at installations that either were innocent factories or that had already been extensively examined by U.N. inspectors and found to be harboring nothing sinister.
Cohen said the aim of the attack was not to end the nearly decade-long standoff against Saddam Hussein, but to reduce the Iraqi leader's ability to threaten neighboring nations with chemical or biological weapons.
The short-term goals of the attacks, she said, are to "degrade" Saddam Hussein's ability to develop and deploy weapons of mass destruction, to degrade his command and control systems and to lessen the threat he poses to neighboring countries.

Scenes from a birthday party for Hussein's daughter Hala, for example, simply show the family of the Iraqi leader celebrating.
What makes the videos so popular in Baghdad is that such glimpses into Hussein's personal life have never been seen before, and information about the war and the actions of the regime came only from state-controlled television.
Heidar says he no longer supports Hussein after seeing images of the aftermath of the 1988 chemical attacks on the Kurds, in which some 5,000 are believed to have been killed, and the execution of political prisoners by detonating explosives packed around their bodies.
