Didn't Saddam put out a hit on Qusay a few years ago, leaving him partially paralyzed?

Does anyone know why he still has allegiance to his father?

Didn't Saddam kill one or two of his sons for defecting once they returned back home after being promised "all was forgiven?"

I am reading Threatening Storm by Kenneth Pollack   (*great read*), and just finished a chapter in which a "hit" on Udayy was chronicled. The long and short of it:  the Dec '96 hit was attributed to a resistance group called an-Nahdah ("...well-educated young Iraqis") that had a vendetta for attrocities, torture and death inflicted on Gen Omar Al-Haza and his son, for publicly criticizing Saddam after a defeat at al-Faw in 1986.

Udayy was driving to a party when his car was surrounded by armed men and riddled with bullets. Although he survived the attack, he was hit eight times and several of the bullets lodged in his spine, leaving him paralyzed for many months.
