Saddam: Bodies too 'shot up' to ID 22/07/2003 21:25 - (SA) Mosul, Iraq - Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai were "very likely" killed on Tuesday when US soldiers stormed a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, US military and Bush administration sources told Fox News. Sources at the Pentagon and within the Bush administration told Fox News that at least four "high-level" targets were killed inside the house, a large villa that belonged to one of Saddam's cousins. A senior administration official said the US is "90% to 95% certain" that Saddam's sons were among the dead....

No love lost between Saddam, son 04/14/2003 Associated Press The looted palace of Saddam Hussein's older son, Uday, reveals a heart hardened against his father. "My father wants to go down in history, but his heart is finished from any kindness," Uday wrote in an undated letter. "I have nothing in my heart toward my father, not any love or kindness. I don't know if he listens even to himself anymore." Looters ransacked the home in the Baghdad suburb of Karada but left ample evidence of the 39-year-old Uday's extravagance. The remains of a steel safe, cut open with a...

Uday’s 800,000-Strong Guerrilla-Suicide Army Uday Hussein, faithfully obeying his father, immersed himself from April 2002 in creating a vast guerrilla-terrorist army 800,000 strong, according to DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s intelligence sources. Its largest component, around 650,000, comes from the ubiquitous Baath party, the Saddam regime’s eyes, ears and informers in every corner of Iraqi society, together with members of Saddam’s Fedayeen (Martyrs) Division of the Special Republican Guards. These Iraqi elements – irregular and military – were responsible for plaguing the American columns pushing north to Baghdad and playing havoc with their long supply lines, forcing the allied war command to take stock...

WASHINGTON, March 20 — Intelligence officials had long been frustrated in their attempts to track Saddam Hussein's erratic movements. Then, on Wednesday, according to senior government officials, Iraqi informants produced a lead. The Iraqi leader, and possibly his two sons, were said to be in a private house built over an underground bunker in southern Baghdad. What happened next, one senior administration official said today, "has created one of the great mysteries of the first day of the war — did we hit anyone and if so, who did we get?" Tonight, officials were still holding out hope that one...

The Iraqi crisis develops on the scenario, which can hardly be called the best for the current world order. If the UN Security Council was a board, which could assist in coming to a certain consent, the current world order would be preserved for long, in spite of the fact that it seemed to be rather anachronistic after the events of September 11th. However, the UN proved its inefficiency again: this organization is incapable of finding a compromise to stop a superpower. It can be clearly seen that Russia and China realized their risk, when they rejected the American administration’s...

Senior Iraq Defector May Not Have Made It All may not be well for Adib Shaaban, senior aide to Saddam’s powerful son Uday and Iraq’s highest-ranking would-be defector. His attempt to flee to the United States, first revealed exclusively in DEBKA-Net-Weekly 97 (February 14), may not have come off. First a recap: Shaaban -- charged with Uday’s most sensitive missions -- traveled to Jeddah in early February, saying he needed to put through some gold transactions ahead of the war. From Jeddah, he flew to Beirut and disappeared. But he never really went to the Lebanese capital. Instead, he made...

IOC inquiry focuses on Hussein's son 01/21/2003 Associated Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland - The International Olympic Committee is investigating accusations that Saddam Hussein's oldest son, the head of Iraq's Olympic association, tortured and jailed athletes. "We've received the complaint and we're dealing with it," said Paquerette Girard Zappelli of the IOC ethics commission. She said she could not comment further while the inquiry was under way. In December, Indict, a London-based human rights group, lodged a complaint demanding that the IOC expel the Iraqi National Olympic Committee. Citing witness statements by exiled Iraqi athletes and U.N. reports, Indict contended that...

In an editorial, Iraqi newspaper Babel, owned by President Saddam Hussein's son Uday, urged Arabs Wednesday to learn from North Korea's resistance over its nuclear standoff with Washington to help put a halt to U.S. threats of war. Tensions between the United States and North Korea have escalated since North Korea announced it would expel U.N. nuclear arms inspectors and reopen a nuclear reactor frozen since 1994 under a non-proliferation agreement. "Korea is holding on to its right to posses a technology that American leaders used to wipe out whole Japanese cities and it is still being used by the...

BEIRUT (Reuters) - An Iraqi Shi'ite Islamist opposition group Sunday accused members of an Iraqi militia of conducting joint training with al Qaeda loyalists aimed at carrying out operations against U.S. interests. The Tehran-based Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) said elements of "Saddam's Fedayeen," a militia force led by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's son Uday, were training with a group linked to al Qaeda in northern Iraq. "Sixty elements of Saddam's fedayeen militias joined the Jund al-Islam (Soldiers of Islam), which is a follower of the al Qaeda organization in Iraqi Kurdistan," SCIRI said in a statement...

The United Nations inspection mission in Iraq has been fully prepared for controversy over chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Instead, the first crisis it faces concerns sado-masochism, pansexuality and leather fetishes. Senior officials were trying to explain yesterday how such a crucial mission came to include an American former Secret Service officer who has no specialised degree in any of the relevant sciences, but considerable expertise in unusual sexual practices.Harvey John "Jack" McGeorge was nominated for the mission by the United States government. The revelation of his personal details has also led to the disclosure that no background checks have...

Is there a place on the web where it logs all of the abuses of Saddam's son Uday? How is he compared to Qusay?? I have heard there are many stories on the web, but I can't find them.

Cairo - Perhaps it was the report picked up from Western media claiming that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had reached a secret deal with Libya to provide sanctuary for his family and inner circle in exchange for several billion dollars. Or maybe it was the repeated criticism of fellow Arab leaders, whom Hussein has been trying to win over in his effort to head off a U.S. attack. Whatever the reason, the Iraqi government was not saying yesterday why it had banned a newspaper owned by Hussein's eldest son, Uday, from publishing for a month. The tabloid, Babel, is widely...

Yahoo! e-mail account of Saddam son blocked for ''security reasons?''

BAGHDAD, Sept 27 (AFP) - Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday, on Friday denied reports that he had visited Moscow to prepare for a potential exile of the president's family. "It's pitiful propoganda and they (the journalists) should find better," Uday said during a meeting with Iraqi youngsters, part of which was broadcast on his Youth Television channel. "What would Uday go to do in Moscow? What does that mean?" he asked. "Whoever has a father like Saddam can have no greater honour than to be by his side." Uday added that he had even refused to leave Iraq for...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's eldest son Uday accused the United States of pushing to topple Baghdad's government in order to get its hands on the country's oil. He said Washington, which has threatened Iraq with military strikes, was acting like "an arrogant cowboy". "Do not imagine that they (Americans) will leave you alone because you are sitting on the (world's) number one oil reserve," Uday was quoted as saying on Thursday night by al- Shabab (youth) television which he owns. "Our oil reserve exceeds that of Saudi Arabia by 25 percent and we are the world's number...

BAGHDAD, July 13 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - President Saddam Hussein's powerful elder son Uday has warned an Iranian dissident that the U.S. intents on carving up the region, and won't stop at Iraq, according to remarks published Saturday, July 13. "After Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Iran's turn will come," Uday told the Iraq-based dissident, Tareq Abdul Karim Naama, at a meeting earlier this week. The Agence France-Presse (AFP) said that Uday, writing under a pseudonym, had charged in the July 7 edition of the Babel daily he runs that the United States had "drawn up a plan aimed at...
