Uday Hussein,

eldest son of Saddam Hussein, was killed in July by U.S. troops after a brutal firefight in Mosul. Uday had earned a reputation inside Iraq and beyond as a reckless thug. He served a prison sentence in 1988 for murdering one of his father's bodyguards. Eight years later he was nearly crippled in an assassination attempt. In the U.S.-led war against Iraq, Uday commanded a group of fedayeen fighters, militia troops that fight independently of the military.
