Uday Saddam Hussein (Arabic: عدي صدام حسين; 18 June 1964 – 22 July 2003) was an Iraqi politician and businessman. He was the eldest son of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and his first wife Sajida Talfah, and was known for his extreme 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, due to injuries in an assassination attempt. Owing to his family connections, Uday held various roles in the Iraqi political and military circles, as well as in business. Read more on Wikipedia
