Encyclopedic overview

Uday Saddam Hussein (Arabic: عدي صدام حسين; 18 June 1964 – 22 July 2003) was an Iraqi politician, militia leader, and businessman. He was the eldest son of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and his first wife Sajida Talfah. He was known for his excessive cruelty, erratic behavior, and human rights abuses, which included torture, rape, and murder.

Born in Baghdad, Uday was seen for several years as the likely successor to his father; however, he lost the place as heir apparent to his younger brother, Qusay, owing to injuries in an assassination attempt. Because of his family connections, Uday held multiple roles in the Iraqi political and military circles, as well as in business.
