  Encyclopedia: Saddam Hussein
Saddam was deposed by the U.S. and its allies during the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Saddam Hussein was born in the village of Al-Ouja, 8 kilometers from the city of Tikrit district of Iraq, to a family of sheep-herders.
Saddam Hussein was placed at the top of the "most-wanted list," and many of the other leaders of the Iraqi government were arrested, but extensive efforts to find him had little effect.

 Saddam Hussein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saddam Hussein was shown with a full beard and hair longer and curlier than his familiar appearance, which a barber later restored.
On July 18, 2005, Saddam was charged by the Special Tribunal with the first of an expected series of charges, relating to the mass killings of the inhabitants of the village of Dujail in 1982 after a failed assassination attempt against him.
Hussein is not a surname in the Western sense but a patronymic; it is his father's given personal name; Abd al-Majid his grandfather's, and al-Tikriti means he was born and raised in (or near) Tikrit.

 Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein is a very, very bad man. But he's a Renaissance bad man - a genocidal maniac with a collection of anthrax and bubonic plague samples, a power-mongering invader who married his cousin, a writer of romance novels and Broadway-style musicals, a dinner companion to Donald Rumsfeld and a recurring character on South Park.
Saddam married his cousin (a woman by the name of Sajida), fathered a couple of kids (including son Uday Hussein), and kissed a lot of asses as he bided his time.
Saddam's move to gas the Kurds is a great talking point for some U.S. propagandists who gleefully note that the "Butcher of Baghdad" has "gassed his own people." The Kurds were poisoned mostly with Mustard Gas, which blisters the skin and lungs, as well as Nerve Agents and good old-fashioned cyanide.

 Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti
Uday [Odai, pronounced "aw-DAY"] was born in 1964, the oldest of five children from Saddam's marriage to his first cousin Sajida.
(Saddam remained married to Sajida, despite at least two other known marriages.) It was reported that Uday, said to be closer to his mother than to his father, arranged a party for Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of the Egyptian president, on the banks of the Tigris in downtown Baghdad.
Uday took control of vast sections of the media, which was not part of a wider strategy of Saddam himself, but a role that Uday carved out for himself.

 Guardian | Uday Saddam Hussein
Uday, Saddam Hussein's oldest son, who has died aged 39, was a flamboyant character at one time thought of as his father's successor.
Saddam Hussein's anger and the fact that the murder was committed in public, at a party attended by many from outside the inner circle, meant that there was no attempt to cover it up.
On the contrary, Uday was sent to prison, where he languished for a month or so until his father pardoned him, purportedly because of the overwhelming number of pleas for clemency.

 Uday Hussein
In October 1988, at a party thrown in the honor of the wife of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Uday beat to death one of his father's favorite servants, Kemal Hana Gegeo.
Uday carried out the murder cooly and coldly, bludgeoning Gegeo to death in front of horrified guests.
On December 12, 1996 Uday was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, allegely organised by Qusay.

Uday was driving to a party in a two-car caravan with bodyguards when gunmen peppered his car with submachine gun fire.
Uday was hit by eight bullets and was rushed to a hospital.

 Uday Hussein
Uday was born in 1964, the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac, which means he ought to be "energetic, excitable, short-tempered, eccentric and stubborn." Add sadistic, mysogenistic, ultraviolent and totally deranged to that list, and you've just about got it.
Uday, and his brother, Qusay, were killed in a firefight in Northern Iraq on 22 July 2003.
Aside from the U.S. Army's repeated efforts to target Saddam and his sons, which may have already succeeded, the chaos of battle and the chaos of the aftermath set the stage for settling old scores in a whodunnit with a virtually endless list of suspects.

A profile on the State Department website says Uday has a "history of extreme violent behavior including murder, torture and rape of women and girls." Uday is also "heavily involved in Iraq's smuggling against U.N. sanctions, and in illicit financial dealings," the profile says.

As a result, Uday probably does not expect that his account would be monitored, he said.
