"Saddam Hussein'g evil sons, Uday, 39, and Qusay, 37, were particularly heinous, raping, beating and torturing for the "fun" of it. Disappointed by the performance of the national soccer team entrusted to his care, Uday once called in his players for a beating after a particularly bad showing. On another occasion, to entertain guests at a dinner in honor of the wife of President Mubarak, visiting from Cairo, he killed his father's valet with an electric carving knife. The brothers were killed in a shootout by U.S. Special Forces in 2003 after the U.S. Army got a tip from "multiple sources" that the brothers were hiding together in a villa in the town of Mosul in northern Iraq.
Other infamous sons have been dispatched to relative obscurity, in attempts to appease popular revulsion, by such villains as Muammar Qadaffi, Idi Amin, Daniel Arap Moi, Jomo Kenyatta and King Abdullah of Jordan (who once intervened with Saddam Hussein to go easy on his son Uday after he carved up the valet at the dinner party)."
