Saddam hussein daughter raghad iraqs wanted list
Raghad Hussein, the daughter of Saddam Hussein, was on the wanted list of the Iraqi government and the United States during the Iraq War. She was born in 1968 and was the second of Saddam's three daughters.
Raghad was known to be a strong supporter of her father and was involved in his regime. She was also known to be close to her father and was often seen accompanying him at official events.
After the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Raghad went into hiding and was believed to be in Syria. She was placed on the US wanted list in 2004, along with her brother Qusay, who was also a key figure in the Saddam regime.
Raghad was accused of being involved in the torture and murder of political opponents and was also believed to have been involved in the planning of attacks against US and Iraqi forces.
In 2005, Raghad was reportedly arrested in Syria and was held in a Syrian prison for several years. She was eventually released in 2008 and was allowed to leave Syria and go to Lebanon.
Raghad has since lived in exile in Jordan, where she has been under house arrest. She has been accused of being involved in various plots to overthrow the Iraqi government and has been the subject of several assassination attempts.
In 2019, Raghad was sentenced to death in absentia by an Iraqi court for her role in the murder of political opponents during her father's regime. However, it is unlikely that she will be extradited to Iraq to face justice.
