Uday Hussein

Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti (June 18, 1964 – July 22, 2003) Arabic: عدي صدام حسين; also transliterated as Odai) was the eldest son of Saddam Hussein, the deposed president of Iraq, and his first wife, Sajida Talfah. He was for several years seen as the heir apparent of his father. He produced the newspaper Babel as well as the youth radio station Voice of Iraq (which ran American pop songs). His erratic and violent behavior, and troubled relationship with his father and brother was well-publicized in the media both before and after being killed at age 39 by U.S. military forces following the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
