Family of Saddam Hussein

Al-Tikriti family is originally from Al-Awja, about 13 kilometers from Tikrit, and are members of the minority Sunni population.

Since records are scant, the generation who controlled Iraq primarily are only known to stem from Albejat subtribe of Albunaser including the subclan of Khairallah Talfah, who later became Saddam's father-in-law.

All the members of the Hussein or extended Talfah family have the Arabic surname Al-Nasseri and trace their origins to Al-Awja or several surrounding villages.

Her situation was so poor that she allegedly attempted to abort the unborn fetus, and when that failed, she sent him away to her brother Khairallah.

[5] After his death Subha married Ibrahim Al-Hassan, who was another illiterate shepherd (some sources claim he was actually a local bandit) from an even poorer family.
