Introduction
The criminal Saddam Hussein was born to a poor Arab family from al-Awja, a village in north-central Iraq. Some sources say that Saddam was actually born in al-Awja, or in the nearby town of Tikrit. Saddam's father left him when he was a child . His stepfather, Ibrahim al-Hasan, was physically and psychologically abusive to young Saddam, forcing him to steal for him and refusing to allow him to go to school. Saddam ended up being raised in Tikrit city by his maternal uncle, Khayrallah Talfa. He moved to Baghdad in 1956, and joined the pan-Arab nationalist Arab Socialist Renaissance Party ,and he quickly became a hired gun for the party .
