Uday, the
elder son of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, struck by
brain hemorrhage following conflict with a member of
Saddam's Fedayeen on Thursday.
The Iranian news
agency, IRNA, quoted sources in northern Iraq as saying
that tough and indecent orders, issued by Uday, who
heads Saddam's Fedayeen, had provoked the conflict as
the young man attacked Uday.
Uday's bodyguards
then beat the man to injury, the unconfirmed report
said.
According to some observers, the recent
report on Uday could be part of the American and the
Iraqi opposition propaganda campaign against Saddam
Hussein's regime.
In recent weeks, the United
States has been stepping up its special radio broadcasts
and leaflet drops in Iraq.
For the past four
months, the U.S. military has been beaming messages to
Iraq on AM, FM and shortwave signals. The messages were
prepared by a psychological operations unit based in
Fort Bragg, N.C. (Albawaba.com)
