Saddam ruled over Iraq for nearly 25 years, over the course of which his Baath Party asserted their power through violence and brutal military force, including a the 1982 massacre of 142 Iraqi Shi’a Muslims.
Hussein Kamel's father, Hussein Kamel al-Majid, defected from Saddam in 1995. Shortly after he returned to Iraq — under the assumption that he would be protected — he was killed in a firefight, allegedly by Saddam's security forces.
In the years since Saddam's death, Raghad Hussein, who is Saddam's eldest daughter, has been accused of using her multi-million fortune to bolster the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the jihadist group that emerged after the US invasion.
As of 2018, Hussein Kamel's mother remains on the Iraqi government's most wanted list, which includes 29 suspected ISIL fighters, 12 suspected al Qaeda members and 20 members of the Baath party, according to Al Jazeera.
